Treatment-resistant depression in later life [PDF]
Journal of Psychiatry & Neuroscience, 2015 A 66-year-old woman was referred for management of treatment-resistant depression (TRD). She had previously undergone a 12-week trial of sertraline up to 150 mg and then another 12-week trial of venlafaxine up to 225 mg. She initially presented with low mood and anhedonia and no longer enjoyed spending time with her grandson.

Ultimate lateral load resistance of laterally loaded pile [PDF]
, 2008 Several methods are available for predicting ultimate lateral load resistance of laterally loaded pile. These methods often produce significantly different ultimate lateral resistance. This makes it difficult to select an appropriate method in designing/predicting ultimate lateral resistance of pile.
