Objectives: The reported prevalence of mental health conditions (MHCs) in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) ranges widely. Whether MHCs are associated with increased risk of SLE or the outcomes of the disease is unclear. This paper aimed to conduct an umbrella and updated meta-analysis of MHCs in people with SLE and to identify whether MHCs are associated with the risk of SLE or patient outcomes.
Methods: We comprehensively searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases to identify relevant studies published before June 2023. Random-effect models were used to calculate the pooled prevalence and risk ratios for each MHC.
Results: 203 studies with 1485094 individuals were included. The most MHCs observed in patients with SLE were sleep disturbance (59.7% [95% CI, 52.4%-66.8%]) among adults and cognitive dysfunction (63.4% [95% CI, 46.9%-77.9%]) among children. We found that depressive disorders (RR = 2.30, 95% CI = 1.94-2.75) and posttraumatic stress disorder (RR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.61-2.31) in the general population were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of developing SLE. Furthermore, concurrent MHCs were linked to unfavorable outcomes in patients with SLE, such as decreased quality of life, increased risk of unemployment, and other somatic comorbidities.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a high prevalence of MHCs among patients with SLE. Individuals with pre-existing mental disorders exhibited an elevated susceptibility to developing SLE, and patients presenting with MHCs were at increased risk of experiencing suboptimal health and functional outcomes. Therefore, evaluating and preventing MHCs should be considered as an integral component of the comprehensive treatment strategy for SLE.

Background: Whether a detected virus or bacteria is a pathogen that may require treatment, or is merely a commensal 'passenger', remains confusing for many infections. This confusion is likely to increase with the wider use of multi-pathogen PCR.
Objectives: To propose a new statistical procedure to analyse and present data from case-control studies clarifying the probability of causality.

Introduction: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and dementia affect short- and long-term outcome after stroke and can persist even after recover from a physical handicap. The process underlying PSCI is not yet fully understood. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) is a feasible method to investigate cerebrovascular aging or dementia, through the pulsatility index (PI), the cerebrovascular reactivity (e.

Atherosclerosis risk is elevated in diabetic patients, but the underlying mechanism such as the involvement of macrophages remains unclear. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism related to the pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages in the development of diabetic atherosclerosis. Bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the macrophage-related transcriptome differences in patients with atherosclerosis and diabetic mice.

Anthropogenic disturbances degrade ecosystems, elevating the risk of emerging infectious diseases from wildlife. However, the key environmental factors for preventing tick-borne disease infection in relation to host species, landscape components, and climate conditions remain unknown. This study focuses on identifying crucial environmental factors contributing to the outbreak of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a tick-borne disease, in Miyazaki Prefecture, southern Japan.

Square and 4-7-8 breathing are popularly promoted by psychotherapists but have little empirical support. We hypothesized that breathing at 6 breaths per minute (bpm) would improve HRV, reduce blood pressure, and improve mood more than either square or 4-7-8 breathing. We also hypothesized square and 4-7-8 breathing would increase end-tidal CO (PETCO).
