Effector CD4⁺ T lymphocytes in the prodrome of polyarthritis
… and phenotype of CD4⁺ T cells during the prodrome of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) has been investigated in rats. Research in the Arthritis Research Laboratory has demonstrated previously that activated CD4⁺ T cells in the thoracic duct (TD) lymph of rats during the late prodromal phase …

Early detection of delirium in older medical inpatients: prodrome, predictors and motor subtyping
… is key to improving outcomes. The delirium prodrome concept has been mooted for decades, but remains poorly characterised. Greater understanding of this prodrome would promote prompt identification of delirium-prone patients, and facilitate improved strategies for delirium prevention and …

The earliest symptoms to appear in an episode of depression were generally consistent throughout the episode and remained as the last to remit. The order of symptom onset was related to the reverse …

Traumatic life event exposure and attenuated psychosis: Symptom specificity and explanatory mechanisms
… increased risk of psychotic disorders, with the prodrome of psychosis, and with dimensional measures of psychotic symptoms, such as attenuated positive psychotic symptoms. Nevertheless, TLEs have been linked to various mental disorders; therefore, the specificity of TLEs to psychosis remains …
