Clinical implications of predominant polarity and the polarity index in bipolar disorder: a naturalistic study

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 2013
ObjectivePredominant polarity (PP) is an important variable in maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). This study aimed at determining the role of polarity index (PI), a metric indicating antimanic versus antidepressive prophylactic potential of drugs, in clinical decision‐making.MethodTwo hundred and fifty‐seven of 604 (43%) of patients with ...

On the Predominant Electron-Donicity of Polar Solid Surfaces

The Journal of Adhesion, 1997
Abstract The reasons for the predominant electron-donicity of almost all solid polar surfaces and its implications are discussed in this paper. By contact angle or interfacial tension measurements, the electron-accepting as well as the electron-donating properties of polar liquids can be ascertained, through the interplay between their energies of ...

Structural neuroimaging and predominant polarity in patients with type 1 bipolar disorder from Antioquia

Revista Colombiana de Psiquiatría (English ed.), 2022
Predominant polarity (PP) has been proposed as a specifier of bipolar disorder (BD) due to its relationship with clinical and prognostic variables. It is possible that this is due to a different underlying neurobiology, in such a way that the changes found by structural nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) in BD are different and specific.To ...

Predominant polarity, polarity index, and treatment selection in bipolar disorder

2017
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and disabling illness, with lifetime prevalence of 2.4% worldwide. Predominant polarity (PP), ie, depressive versus manic, may influence illness characteristics, treatment selection, and outcomes in BD. PP has been proposed as a course specifier for BD, although not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of

Undetermined predominant polarity in a cohort of bipolar disorder patients: Prevalent, severe, and overlooked

Journal of Affective Disorders, 2022
Predominant polarity (PP) is a concept used to define patients with bipolar disorder (BD) as presenting a tendency to manifest depressive (DPP) or manic (MPP) episodes. Still, the high percentage of patients with an undetermined PP (UPP), has been overlooked in most studies.

[Predominant polarity, mixed states and suicide].

L'Encephale, 2013
Bipolar disorders are linked to a high suicidal risk. Many risk factors are identified but it seems relevant to highlight the relationship between suicidal behavior and the different subtypes of bipolar disorder, or the different kinds of outcomes, or the clinical characteristics of a recurrence.

Predominant regulators of tubulin monomer–polymer partitioning and their implication for cell polarization

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009
The microtubule-system organizes the cytoplasm during interphase and segregates condensed chromosomes during mitosis. Four unrelated conserved proteins, XMAP215/Dis1/TOGp, MCAK, MAP4 and Op18/stathmin, have all been implicated as predominant regulators of tubulin monomer-polymer partitioning in animal cells. However, while studies employing the Xenopus

Clinical Utility of the Predominant Polarity in Bipolar Disorder Patients

Bipolar Disorder: Open Access, 2018
Introduction: Current classification of bipolar disorder (BD) in type I or type II may be of little use in routine clinical practice to provide information on relevance epidemiological and clinical variables. New complementary coders like the predominant polarity (PP), which is defined as a clear tendency in the patient to present relapses in the manic

Predominant polarity in bipolar disorders: Further evidence for the role of affective temperaments

Journal of Affective Disorders, 2015
Literature suggests bipolars may differ in several features according to predominant polarity, but the role of temperaments remains controversial.The EPIDEP study was designed to identify bipolar patients among a large sample of major depressives. Only bipolars were included in the current study.
