http://psychology-tools.com/major-depression-inventory/

A 12 item self-report mood assessment developed by the World Health Organisation that is able to generate an ICD-10 or DSM-IV diagnosis of clinical depression in addition to an estimate of symptom severity. Scoring: * Mild depression: A score of 4 or 5 in two of the first three items. Plus a score of at least 3 on two or three of the last seven items. * Moderate depression: A score of 4 or 5 in two or three of the first three items. Plus a score of at least 3 on four of the last seven items. * Severe depression: A score of 4 or 5 in all of the first three items. Plus a score of at least 3 on five or more of the last seven items. * Major depression: The number of items is reduced to nine, as Item 4 is part of Item 5. Include whichever of the two items has the highest score (item 4 or 5). A score on at least five items is required, to be scored as follows: the score on the first three items must be at least 4, and on the other items at least 3. Either Item 1 or 2 must have a score of 4 or 5.

http://www.teenmentalhealth.org/images/resources/CAPN_11Item_KADS.pdf

A psychological self-rating scale developed by Dalhousie University professor of psychiatry Stan Kutcher, to assess the level of depression in adolescents. While there are some variations, the 11-item version of the KADS is the most commonly used and most thoroughly verified for efficacy in monitoring outcomes in adolescents who are receiving treatment for major depressive disorder. Its items are worded using standard and colloquial terminology, and responses are scored on a simple 4 choice scale. There are ten questions about depression symptom frequency that the patient rates on a straight 4 point scale according to the following choices: hardly ever, much of the time, most of the time, all the time, and one question relating to the severity of suicidal ideation. Scores on the test range from 0 to 33. Unlike some rating scales, there is no threshold for sub-clinical presentation, or ranges for mild, moderate, and severe symptoms. Higher scores simply indicate more severe current depression symptoms. (Adapted from Wikipedia)

http://www.fresno.ucsf.edu/pediatrics/downloads/edinburghscale.pdf

A 10 item assessment scale developed to identify women who have postpartum depression (PPD). Items of the scale correspond to various clinical depression symptoms, such as guilt feeling, sleep disturbance, low energy, anhedonia, and suicidal ideation. Overall assessment is done by total score, which is determined by adding together the scores for each of the 10 items. Higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms. The EPDS may be used within 8 weeks postpartum and it also can be applied for depression screening during pregnancy. (Adapted from Wikipedia) Scoring: * 0-9 Not Likely to Have Depression * 10-30 Likely to Have Depression

Core offers micro 3D X-ray imaging of small samples in high resolution and provides images and quantitative analyses of internal structures of ex vivo samples without any destructive procedures.Scanco CT40 system allows for visualization, measurement, and quantification of the structure of mineralized specimens. Contrast reagents permit visualization of soft tissue structures such as blood vessels.System creates 3D model from stack of 2D X-ray images taken around single axis of rotation. High-resolution scanner can capture detail at resolution of 6 to 32 microns. Non- destructive nature of this technology allows investigators to carry out complementary analyses of the same sample. There are two dedicated workstations for analyzing microCT data, the SCANCO analysis software or the Amira software package with XImagePAQ extension.
