The analysis of the relationship between personality and depression can facilitate the development of subclinical preventive measures and clinical treatment schemes. Moreover, the personality is associated with a variety of mental diseases, and there is substantial comorbidity between depression and some other mental diseases. So, to reveal pathological relationships between personality and depression is helpful to understand the etiology of the comorbidity between depression and multiple mental disorders. In this review, we first summarize the empirical researches on the relationship between personality and depression from the aspects of behavior and neural mechanisms, and then discuss the hypothetical model to explain the relationship between personality and depression. In a word, high neuroticism, low extroversion and conscientiousness, and other related traits (rumination, self-criticism, dependency, etc.) have a moderate to strong correlation with depression. Among them, neuroticism is the most concerned. To a certain extent, it can predict the onset of depression and affect the duration and treatment outcome of depression. Other traits, such as positive emotionality/ extroversion and effortful control/responsibility, can moderate the relationship between negative emotionality/neuroticism and depression. And after the onset of depression, the neuroticism may change, but the extroversion does not seem to change.

Background:
Gout is one of the most common arthritides affecting Filipinos; yet, there is a lack of updated local data and Clinical Practice Guidelines.
Objective:
To describe Clinical Case Scenario (CCS) of Filipino patients with gout in a tertiary referral hospital seen over a year.
Design:
Cross-sectional study.
Methods:
Patients’ characteristics, risk factors, disease course, management, and CCS were obtained by a rheumatologist using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used.
Results:
One hundred eight patients were included with a median age of 58 (range 26–80) years. 106 were male (98%); and, 2 were female (2%) who were menopause and had chronic kidney disease (CKD). Most prevalent CCS were stages 9 (29%), 1 (16%), and 2 (15%). The majority of cases had tophi and belonged to CCS 4-9 (62%). This signifies that most patients had advanced gout. Consistent with international and local data: almost half had hypertension (46%), a third had CKD (36%). Most were ethanol drinkers (65%) and smokers (57%). Unexpectedly, not many were obese (10%) or had metabolic syndrome (2%). The initial joint involved was the ankle (52%) rather than the first metatarsophalangeal joint (40%). Almost half of the patients presented with two or more joint involvement (46%) than monoarthritis (54%). Patients with acute flare were most commonly prescribed NSAIDs (77%), followed by colchicine (62%). Most were prescribed allopurinol (44%) compared with febuxostat (37%) for urate-lowering therapy. Only 16% received patient education. Medication compliance was 65%, but follow-up compliance was less than 18%. Comparing the Filipino clinical profile to historical data suggests an increased incidence of gout in the young and an increase in comorbidity prevalence.
Conclusion:
This study reports a cohort of Filipino gout patients. Comorbidities are similar to world figures but differ in the low incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. It also differs from literature in having the ankle as the most common initial joint presentation. Management and compliance were also described. As a pilot study for a registry, this study can be implemented at different institutions to broaden and monitor the ever-changing Filipino gout profile.
Recommendation
A larger sample size and a more extended observation period are recommended to estimate gout CCS prevalence, flare risk factors, and treatment response more accurately. Other outcomes that can be measured are mortality rates and etiologies for each CCS.

Concurrent medical problem is common in dementia patients and critical to their care. Despite its importance, there was no bedside global rating scale for the seriousness of medical comorbidity. Lykestos et al. newly developed a reliable bedside scale, the General Medical Health Rating(GMHR). The objective of this study was to standardize the GMHR in form of Korean version(KGMHR). The study population consisted of 35 dementia patients in nursing home. Rating was performed by 1 physician and 2 nurses. Forty percent(14/35) of patients had one or more unstable medical illnesses. KGMHR ratings no more than 3 were 71.5%(25/35) of patients. The value of interrater reliability coefficient alpha was 0.9121. Correlations between KGMHR ratings and number of unstable medi-cal illnesses were high(r=-0.487, p<0.01). KGMHR ratings were also correlated with number of medications being taken for comorbid conditions(r=-0.542, p<0.01). In conclusion, KGMHR is a very reliable and simple rating scale for medical comorbidity in dementia patients. So the KGMHR could be a useful tool for evaluation of comorbidity in dementia patients. To verify the prognostic value of KGMHR, further large sized long-term study are needed.
