Background
As Ukraine enters its third year of war, healthcare professionals (HPs) continue to face ongoing challenges to their adaptability and resilience. This study aimed to assess the emotional and physical well-being of HPs, evaluate their resilience levels, and identify the most anticipated types of psychological support that would benefit them.
Methods
Emotional and somatic states were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-15). Resilience was measured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Open-ended questions were used to identify anticipated measures of psychological support.
Results
A total of 1442 HPs participated in the study. The majority exhibited high levels of anxiety and depression. Resilience scores showed negative correlations with anxiety (r = −0.34), depression (r = −0.53), and somatic symptom severity (r = −0.36). The most desired types of psychological support included psychological counselling, spiritual support, and opportunities for rest.
Conclusion
It is essential to address the primary needs of HPs in Ukraine to support their professional and personal resilience during wartime. Psychological support should not only focus on treating symptoms and distress but also respond to deeper needs that foster hope and faith in a better future.

Objective
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), a functional somatic disorder (FSD), is a multisystem, polysymptomatic disease, characterized by various individual symptoms attributed to low level of volatile chemical exposures. Symptoms relate to the autonomic nerve system (ANS) among others which is mandatory in the MCS delimitations. An accepted measure of ANS is heart rate variability (HRV). The aim was to explore associations between HRV and MCS in the general Danish population.
Methods
In the Danish Study of Functional Disorders, 7493 adults filled in questionnaires and participated in a physical health examination (2012–2015). The “E motion” heart rate monitor device assessed time and frequency measures of HRV. For this study, 143 were categorized with MCS of which, 84 were subcategorized as MCS without comorbid FSD. The remaining population (n = 5525) was used as comparison group. Logistic regression models to assess odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) of MCS, and MCS without comorbid FSD for each HRV exposure adjusted for age, sex, and chronic stress.
Results
Compared to the general population, median resting heart rate was higher (64.7 vs 63.1 bpm, p = 0.007) and median normal-to-normal intervals was lower (930 vs 952 ms, p = 0.007) in MCS individuals. Resting heart rate was associated with MCS (OR: 1.019, 95 %CI: 1.003; 1.037); but not after adjustment for chronic stress. No other associations with other HRV measures nor in MCS without comorbid FSD were found.
Conclusion
HRV was not associated with MCS. The magnitude of the differences between groups was small and of uncertain clinical significance.

Objective
Type D (Distressed) personality combines negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) and is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Here, we examined the association of Type D traits with 230 (predominantly) lipid metabolites and metabolite ratios.
Methods
Four Dutch cohorts were included, comprising 10,834 individuals. Type D personality traits were measured by self-report questionnaires. A proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics platform provided 149 absolute measures (98 belonging to lipoprotein subclasses) and 81 derived ratios. For all, linear regression analyses were performed within each cohort, followed by random-effects meta-analyses. A per-measure FDR q-value<0.05 was set as a study-wise significant association.
Results
SI was significantly associated with a lower omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids (FAw3.FA%) ratio, and a lower free cholesterol to total lipids ratio in very small VLDL (XS.VLDL.FC%). FAw3.FA% was also associated to NA (no study-wise significance though). NA showed a suggestive replication (p-value<.05) of the previous reported associations with depression for 5 out of 18 metabolites from the same metabolomics platform: triglycerides in HDL, serum total triglycerides, VLDL cholesterol, mean diameter for VLDL particles and VLDL triglycerides.
Conclusions
In this large meta-analysis, SI was associated with omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids ratio, which is suggestive of lower omega-3 fatty acid intake. Only some metabolite biomarkers showed tentative links to Type D and NA. In sum, it seems that there are no major alterations in lipid metabolism associated with Type D traits.
目的D型（压抑型）人格结合了负性情感（NA）和社交抑制（SI），与心血管代谢疾病风险的增加有关。在此，我们研究了 D 型性格与 230 种（主要是）脂质代谢物和代谢物比率的关系：方法：纳入了四个荷兰队列，共 10834 人。D型人格特征通过自我报告问卷进行测量。质子核磁共振（NMR）代谢组学平台提供了 149 个绝对测量值（98 个属于脂蛋白亚类）和 81 个衍生比率。在每个队列中对所有数据进行线性回归分析，然后进行随机效应荟萃分析。每项测量的 FDR q 值结果：SI 与较低的ω-3 脂肪酸与总脂肪酸（FAw3.FA%）比率和较低的游离胆固醇与极小 VLDL 总脂类比率（XS.VLDL.FC%）明显相关。FAw3.FA%也与NA有关（但在研究上没有意义）。NA显示出提示性复制（p-value结论：在这项大型荟萃分析中，SI 与欧米伽-3 脂肪酸与总脂肪酸的比率有关，这表明欧米伽-3 脂肪酸的摄入量较低。只有一些代谢物生物标志物与 D 型和 NA 型有初步联系。总之，脂质代谢似乎没有与 D 型特征相关的重大改变。

Objective
Evidence on the clinical and metabolic characterization of mixed features (MFs) in bipolar disorder (BD) is limited. We performed a cross-sectional study analyzing clinical and metabolic correlates of MFs in people with bipolar depression or mania/hypomania.
Methods
We included people with BD consecutively admitted for inpatient treatment from May 2020 to July 2023 as part of the Northern Milan Area Cohort (NOMIAC) project. The SCID-5 was used to confirm the diagnosis and assess DSM-5 specifiers. Young Mania Rating Scale and Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale were used to measure symptom severity. Information on socio-demographic, clinical, and metabolic conditions – including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hypothyroidism – were collected. Multiple logistic regression models were used to compare clinical and metabolic correlates between subjects with and without DSM-5 MFs.
Results
We included 163 inpatients with BD (111 admitted for a manic/hypomanic episode and 52 for a major depressive episode), 39 of whom with MFs. The overall logistic regression model showed that MFs were associated with anxious distress (z = 2.44; p = 0.015) and obesity (z = 2.39; p = 0.017), also being less frequent among moderately/markedly ill people as compared with those borderline/mildly ill (z = −2.71; p = 0.007). Additional analyses corroborated the association between MFs and these characteristics in people with a depressive episode, though not in those with mania/hypomania.
Conclusion
Notwithstanding some limitations, our study provides additional insight into the characterization of individuals with MFs, highlighting that anxious distress and symptom severity, along with obesity, may represent core features helpful for the assessment and management of MFs in BD.

Background
It is unclear if certain post-stroke somatic symptoms load onto items of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a self-report depression questionnaire. We investigated these concerns in a stroke sample using factor analysis, benchmarked against a non-stroke comparison group.
Methods
The secondary dataset constituted 787 stroke and 12,016 non-stroke participants. A subsample of 1574 comparison participants was selected via propensity score matching. Dimensionality was assessed by comparing fit statistics of one-factor, two-factor, and bi-factor models. Between-group differences in factor structure were explored using measurement invariance.
Results
A two-factor model, consisting of somatic and cognitive-affective factors, showed better fit than the unidimensional model (CFI = 0.984 versus CFI = 0.974, p < .001), but the high correlation between the factors indicated unidimensionality (r = 0.866). Configural invariance between stroke and non-stroke was supported (CFI = 0.983, RMSEA = 0.080), as were invariant thresholds (p = .092) and loadings (p = .103). Strong invariance was violated (p < .001, ΔCFI = −0.003), stemming from differences in the tiredness and appetite intercepts. These differences resulted in a moderate overestimation of depression in stroke when using a summed score approach, relative to the comparison sample (Cohen's d = 0.434).
Conclusions
The findings suggest that the PHQ-9 measures a single factor in stroke. Because stroke patients may report higher tiredness on item 4, caution is advisable when classifying patients as depressed if they are near the cut-off and have significant post-stroke fatigue. Caution is also advised when comparing total scores between stroke and other populations.

Objective
While previous studies have examined the relationship between stressful life events (SLEs) and subjective age (SA), the results were inconclusive and the mechanisms linking the association were unclear. This study investigated whether the experience of SLEs was associated with an older SA and the potential mediating role of depression linking this association in a cross-sectional study of older adults in China.
Methods
Data were drawn from the 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS), comprising 7643 participants aged 60 and older. The association between SLEs and SA was examined using multivariate linear regression, and the mediation effect of depression was evaluated.
Results
Experiencing SLEs over the past year was associated with a 0.018 increase in proportional felt age (95 % CI: 0.012, 0.024) and a 0.011 increase in proportional look age (95 % CI: 0.005, 0.016), respectively. Depression appeared to be a significant mediator, accounting for 22.2 % and 27.3 % of the association of SLEs with proportional felt age and proportional look age, respectively.
Conclusion
Findings revealed that having SLEs was associated with an older SA, partially through the pathway of depression. More attention and appropriate intervention should be given to the older adults incurring SLEs to prevent the adverse effect of older SA.

Objective
Open-heart surgery (OHS) is a stressful event for patients, all of whom experience varying levels of worry and fear, leading to fear of disease progression (FoP). An in-depth understanding of the experiences and needs of FoP in patients after OHS is beneficial for healthcare providers to make optimal decisions, but this has not been reported. We aimed to explore the experiences and needs of FoP in patients after OHS by adopting a qualitative interview method.
Methods
A qualitative study was performed to recruit 18 qualified patients through purposive sampling and then conduct face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. The research setting was the cardiovascular surgery ward of a tertiary hospital in Guangdong, China, in 2024. The data were analyzed and extracted using conventional content analysis.
Results
In the study, four themes emerged: a) sources of FoP; b) effects of FoP; c) attitudes towards FoP; d) supportive service needs. The desire to obtain meaningful assistance and the profound experiences of FoP in patients after OHS gave rise to these themes.
Conclusions
FoP following OHS is a subjective feeling characterized by fear and discomfort. Care workers must completely grasp the patients' fear and provide personalized interventions to support them through the difficult recovery phase, which will also be the focus of future efforts in this area.

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of non-pharmacological interventions on fear of cancer recurrence in patients with cancer by synthesizing evidence from various studies using the net meta-analysis (NMA) approach. Additionally, the study sought to rank the efficacy of these interventions.
Methods
Two investigators independently searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify randomized controlled trials(RCTs) that met the inclusion criteria. The search encompassed the period from the inception of the database to December 2023. The included studies were then subjected to a quality assessment, and a network meta-analysis was performed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the interventions.
Results
This study included 27 RCTs involving 3009 patients and examined seven types of non-pharmacological interventions. The NMA results indicated that, based on the Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking curve, Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM) was the most effective intervention (100 %), followed by Mindfulness Therapy (MT) at 76.5 % and Couples' Skills Training (CST) at 60.6 %. However, the league table results showed that, compared to the waitlist group, the effects of CALM [SMD = −4.83, 95 % CI (−5.93, −3.73)] and CST [SMD = −0.86, 95 % CI (−1.65, −0.07)] were significant, while MT [SMD = −1.52, 95 % CI (−3.46, 0.43)] did not reach statistical significance. Furthermore, CST was more effective than Cognitive Behavioral Therapy [SMD = −2.98, 95 % CI (−5.40, −0.56)].
Conclusion
The results of this study indicate that CALM is the most effective intervention for addressing mental health issues.
研究目的本研究旨在通过使用净荟萃分析（NMA）方法综合各项研究的证据，评估非药物干预对癌症患者癌症复发恐惧的影响。此外，该研究还试图对这些干预措施的疗效进行排序：两名研究人员独立检索了 PubMed、Cochrane Library、Embase 和 Web of Science 数据库，以确定符合纳入标准的随机对照试验（RCT）。检索时间从数据库建立之初到 2023 年 12 月。然后对纳入的研究进行了质量评估，并进行了网络荟萃分析，以评估和比较干预措施的有效性：本研究纳入了 27 项研究性临床试验，涉及 3009 名患者，考察了七种非药物干预措施。NMA结果表明，根据累积排名曲线下表面，癌症与有意义地生活（CALM）是最有效的干预措施（100%），其次是正念疗法（MT）（76.5%）和夫妻技能培训（CST）（60.6%）。然而，列表结果显示，与候补名单组相比，正念疗法[SMD = -4.83，95 % CI (-5.93, -3.73)]和夫妻技巧训练[SMD = -0.86，95 % CI (-1.65, -0.07)]的效果显著，而MT[SMD = -1.52, 95 % CI (-3.46, 0.43)]没有达到统计学意义。此外，CST 比认知行为疗法[SMD = -2.98，95 % CI (-5.40，-0.56)]更有效：本研究结果表明，CALM 是解决心理健康问题最有效的干预措施。
