RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Stress exposures may have a differential impact on risk and resilience for depression depending on their timing across development. We sought to determine whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their onset with respect to puberty contribute to the increased risk observed in first-episode major depressive disorder (MDD) during the menopause transition. METHODS: Participants were from the Penn Ovarian Aging Study cohort, which is composed of women from Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, who underwent behavioral, cognitive, and endocrine evaluations approximately yearly from 1996 to 2012 and completed the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire at study end point (n = 243). ACEs that first occurred 2 or more years before menarche were considered prepubertal. Incident menopause MDD was defined as first observed onset of the disorder in the perimenopause to postmenopause transition using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R and the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders. RESULTS: Incident menopause MDD occurred in 48% of the 100 women who reported lifetime MDD. Women reporting ≥ 2 total ACEs were at significantly greater risk for lifetime MDD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.05, P = .034) and incident menopause MDD (aOR = 2.58, P = .03) compared to those reporting 0 ACEs; women with ≥ 2 postpubertal ACEs were 2.3 times more likely to experience incidence menopause MDD (P = .024) after controlling for race, smoking, body mass index, and employment. Experiencing only 1 ACE in the prepubertal window, regardless of additional ACEs in postpuberty, was associated with reduced risk for lifetime and incident menopause MDD. CONCLUSIONS: Timing and number of adverse experiences with respect to puberty differentially impacted risk and resilience for MDD across the female life span and during the menopause transition in this community cohort.

BACKGROUND: It has been shown that early placement of an intravenous line in children anesthetized with halothane is equally safe compared with later placement. Whether this is true of sevoflurane is not known. METHODS: Pediatric patients, age 1-18 years, undergoing elective general anesthesia via an inhalation induction were randomized to intravenous placement either 30 or 120 s following loss of lid reflex. Movement on intravenous placement and incidence of laryngospasm were determined. Difficulty with intravenous placement was recorded. RESULTS: Movement on intravenous placement was more prevalent in the early group than in the late group (P < 0.0001). There was no laryngospasm in the late group and eight cases in the early group (P < 0.004). Children who had laryngospasm were older (P < 0.02) and weighed more (P < 0.04). Older children in the early group were more likely to have significant movement. CONCLUSION: Following an inhalation induction with sevoflurane in children, movement with intravenous placement was greater, and the incidence of laryngospasm was higher, when the intravenous access was attempted 30 s rather than 120 s following loss of lid reflex. We recommend waiting two min following the loss of lid reflex before attempting intravenous placement in children receiving an inhalation induction with sevoflurane.

BACKGROUND: Caudals are a common method of providing pain relief in children undergoing surgery. Clonidine, an alpha(2) agonist, exhibits significant analgesic properties. The current investigation sought to determine whether caudal clonidine added to caudal bupivacaine would decrease pain in paediatric patients undergoing surgery. METHODS: Thirty-six children undergoing elective surgery were studied. Following anaesthetic induction, a caudal was placed (1 mg.kg(-1) bupivacaine 0.125%) with an equal volume of either clonidine (2 microg.kg(-1)) or saline. Perioperative analgesic requirements in the postanaesthesia care unit (PACU) and at home following hospital discharge, and parental pain scores were evaluated. RESULTS: There were no significant demographic, haemodynamic, or pain score differences between the groups. There was no difference in analgesic duration between groups. There were significantly more children who vomited during the first 24 postoperative hours in the clonidine group than in the saline group (eight in clonidine, two in saline; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We do not recommend adding clonidine (2 microg.kg(-1)) to a bupivacaine (0.125%) caudal block in children undergoing surgery.
