Chronotype preference, sleep quality, and night-eating behaviors in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Assessing the relationship with disease severity and fibrosis.

Background And Aim: Our primary objective is to examine the variance in chronotype, night-eating patterns, and sleep quality in patients with biopsy-proven metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. In addition, we aim to establish a correlation between these variables and the severity of the disease and fibrosis.

Materials And Methods: Patients who were following up with biopsy-proven metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) were included in the study.

Exploring the role of adult attachment, major depression and childhood trauma in arterial stiffness: A preliminary study.

Objective: Prior research indicates a noteworthy and intricate connection between depression and subclinical atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, the biological and psychological mechanisms that underlie this association are not yet fully understood. To address this gap, this exploratory study aimed to examine the relationship between active clinical depression and arterial stiffness (AS), with a particular focus on the potential mediating roles of attachment security and childhood trauma.

Functional Somatic Symptoms and Their Predictors in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder and Fibromyalgia Syndrome.

Introduction: Despite being different medical conditions, functional somatic symptoms (FSSs) are common in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Higher levels of depression, anxiety, somatosensory amplification, hypochondriacal worry and alexithymia may be related to the severity of somatization in patients with MDD and FMS. We aimed to investigate the typology and severity of FSSs and the association between FSSs and these psychiatric symptoms in patients with MDD and FMS.

Increased arterial stiffness parameters in panic disorder patients in long term treatment period.

Background: The relationship between mental stress and cardiovascular disease has been shown in several studies. Panic disorder (PD) is also associated with cardiovascular disease due to increased risk of myocardial infarction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between arterial stiffness parameters and depression/anxiety scores in patients with PD.
