Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder in which genetically susceptible individuals cannot digest gluten (wheat) and its homologs such as Scalin (rye) and Hordein (barley).
Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the measures of associations between CD and psychiatric disorders, specifically anxiety and depression, and explore the relationship between adherence to a Gluten-Free Diet (GFD) and the psychiatric aspects of the disease.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science for articles investigating anxiety and depression in CD patients.
The Role of High-Resolution Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Nerve Trauma New Perspective: A Preliminary Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Recent Evidence.
J Clin Neurophysiol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The localization and prognosis evaluation of peripheral nerve injuries is difficult in acute cases, but high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) may provide a cost-effective imaging solution.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 15 studies demonstrated HRUS's high diagnostic accuracy for traumatic nerve injuries, with sensitivity at 92% and specificity at 86%.
- The findings suggest that HRUS can effectively complement existing diagnostic methods, but further research is needed to explore the ultrasound characteristics of these injuries.
Article Synopsis
- - Muscle wasting is common in hemodialysis patients, and ultrasonography is an effective way to measure quadriceps muscle thickness, which reflects overall health.
- - A meta-analysis of 15 studies with 1584 Caucasian patients showed significant decreases in quadriceps thickness (QRFT and QVIT) in hemodialysis patients compared to healthy controls.
- - The study concludes that ultrasonography is a reliable method for monitoring muscle health in hemodialysis patients, highlighting the importance of regular assessments to track muscle thickness changes.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the association between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and atopic eczema (AE), shedding light on potential associations and underlying mechanisms.
Methods: A comprehensive review of literature was conducted to identify relevant studies published up to August 2023. Various electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane, were searched using specific keywords related to ASD and AE.
Background: Historically, epidemics have been accompanied by the concurrent emergence of stigma, prejudice, and xenophobia. This scoping review aimed to describe and map published research targeting ethical values concerning monkeypox (mpox). In addition, it aimed to understand the research gaps related to mpox associated stigma.

Diagnosis is based on clinical and nerve conduction studies, as well as genetic examination. Therefore, competent nerve imaging techniques and non-invasive alternatives to nerve conduction studies are a necessity, especially in children.
