Co-prevalence and incidence of myocardial infarction and/or stroke in patients with depression and/or anxiety: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Co-prevalence and incidence of depression and/or anxiety with stroke and myocardial infarction are currently unclear. This paper explores the relationships, as these are important comorbidities affecting patient outcomes.

Methods: A systematic search across five databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase, Cochrane) was conducted for observational studies reporting co-prevalence of depression or anxiety with stroke or myocardial infarction.

Perioperative steroid administration reduces overall complications in patients undergoing liver resection: A meta-analysis.

Background: Hepatic resection (HR) results in an inflammatory response that can be modified by perioperative steroid administration. However, it remains to be determined if this response's attenuation translates to a reduction in complications.

Aim: To evaluate if perioperative administration of steroids reduces complications following HR.
