Objective: Our aim was to explore the joint impacts of depressive symptoms along with triglyceride-glucose index (TyGi) on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients who have acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and investigate whether the impact of depressive symptoms on MACE is mediated through the TyGi.
Methods: This extensive cohort study included 3681 ACS patients. Depressive symptoms and TyGi were assessed at baseline, and the patients were subsequently followed for two years to monitor the occurrence of MACE.
Results: Throughout the two-year monitoring period, 387 (10.5 %) patients with ACS experienced MACE. The TyGi was positively correlated with MACE risk (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.301, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.112-1.522, p = .001). A nonlinear relation was observed between the TyGi and MACE (p for nonlinearity = 0.04). Joint analyses revealed that, unlike the non-depression & TyG low group, the depression & TyG low group had a two-fold elevation in MACE risk (HR: 2.108, 95 % CI: 1.499-2.966), while the depression & TyG high group represented an even higher risk (HR: 2.442, 95 % CI: 1.786-3.339). The mediation analysis results showcased that the TyGi was a significant mediator of the interplay between depressive symptoms and MACE.
Conclusion: Depressive symptoms and the TyGi jointly influence MACE risk in ACS patients, with the TyGi mediating this relation. Close monitoring and management of depressive symptoms and the TyGi are crucial during ACS rehabilitation.

Background: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the care burden in informal caregivers is huge. Summarizing factors associated with the informal caregivers burden can improve our understanding of providing proactive support to informal caregivers caring for patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP) at risk, and provides evidence for clinical practice.
Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed in this systematic review.

The longitudinal relationship between co-rumination and emotional problems has been understudied, particularly regarding the role of protective factors in moderating the relationship. This study employed a cross-lagged analysis to examine the bi-directional relationship between co-rumination and emotional problems, and the moderating role of self-compassion in this dynamic. The participants comprised 814 Chinese junior school students (M = 13.

Background: There is potential for digital mental health interventions to provide affordable, efficient, and scalable support to individuals. Digital interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy, stress management, and mindfulness programs, have shown promise when applied in workplace settings.
Objective: The aim of this study is to conduct an umbrella review of systematic reviews in order to critically evaluate, synthesize, and summarize evidence of various digital mental health interventions available within a workplace setting.

Background: Physician burnout is widespread in health care systems, with harmful consequences on physicians, patients, and health care organizations. Mindfulness training (MT) has proven effective in reducing burnout; however, its time-consuming requirements often pose challenges for physicians who are already struggling with their busy schedules.
Objective: This study aimed to design a short and pragmatic digital MT program with input from clinicians specifically to address burnout and to test its efficacy in physicians.
