“…This is in accordance to the findings of Kishi et al [3]in patients with delayed-onset suicidal plans. Previous history of alcohol abuse has been identified as one of the most significant independent predisposing factors for suicide in numerous studies [26, 27, 28, 29, 30].…”

“…The development of both acute and delayed-onset suicidal plans in stroke patients has been found to relate to the existence of depressive disorders, especially major depression [2, 3]. Also in patients without stroke, the most frequent risk factor for suicide is depression [23, 24, 25].…”

“…The development of both acute and delayed-onset suicidal plans in stroke patients has been found to be related to the presence of depressive disorders, especially major depression, and to a prior history of stroke [2, 3]. Delayed-onset suicidal plans have also been found to be associated with greater physical impairment [3]in contrast to acute-onset plans [2], suggesting that the etiology of these two types of suicidal plans may be different. In addition, an increased suicide risk has been found in patients suffering from other neurological disorders including multiple sclerosis and spinal cord lesions as well as in selected groups of patients with epilepsy [4].…”

Suicidal Ideas in Stroke Patients 3 and 15 Months after Stroke

Patients with stroke may have an increased risk of suicide. We sought to examine the frequency and clinical correlates of suicidal ideas 3 and 15 months after stroke. The study group comprised 286 of 486 consecutive patients aged 55–85 years who at 3 and 15 months after ischemic stroke completed a detailed medical, neurological and radiological stroke evaluation, structured measures of cognition (Mini Mental State Examination), emotion (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI), disability (Rankin scale), and assessment of dependent living. Suicidal ideas were present in 9.8% (n = 28) at 3 months’ follow-up and in 14.0% (n = 40) at 15 months’ follow-up. The patients with suicidal ideas were more depressed measured by BDI both at 3 (17.0 vs. 7.9, p < 0.001) and 15 months (20.5 vs. 8.5, p < 0.001) after stroke compared to the patients without suicidal ideas. Patients with suicidal ideas had more often a history of a stroke already before the index stroke (35 vs. 18.3%, p = 0.0154), right-sided stroke (60.0 vs. 41.9%, p = 0.0323), they were more disabled according to the Rankin scale (2.4 vs. 1.9; p = 0.0035) and more dependent in living (45.0 vs. 27.2%, p = 0.023) 15 months after stroke. An independent correlate of suicidal ideas 15 months after stroke was history of prior stroke (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.14–4.97) in logistic regression analysis. The frequency of suicidal ideas increased with the time elapsed from stroke. Recurrent strokes, depressive symptoms, more disabling stroke and right-sided stroke correlated to suicidal ideas at 15 months after stroke. Early identification of these risk factors may lead to effective therapeutic intervention.

Biological effects related to geomagnetic activity and possible mechanisms

This review presents contemporary data on the biological effects of geomagnetic activity. Correlations between geomagnetic indices and biological parameters and experimental studies that used simulated geomagnetic storms to detect possible responses of organisms to these events in nature are discussed. Possible mechanisms by which geomagnetic activity influences organisms are also considered. Special attention is paid to the idea that geomagnetic activity is perceived by organisms as a disruption of diurnal geomagnetic variation. This variation, in turn, is viewed by way of a secondary zeitgeber for biological circadian rhythms. Additionally, we discuss the utility of cryptochrome as a biological detector of geomagnetic storms. The possible involvement of melatonin and protein coding by the CG8198 gene in the biological effects of geomagnetic activity are discussed. Perspectives for studying mechanisms by which geomagnetic storms affect organisms are suggested. Bioelectromagnetics. 38:497-510, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
