This study aimed to compare the efficacy of cannulated screw combined with medial femoral plate and simple cannulated screw for Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture. In May 2022, relavent clinical trial articles were searched in seven online databases. After literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction according to the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, the differences in therapeutic efficacy, complications, and intraoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. A total of nine articles were finally included in the meta-analysis. The qualities of the nine articles were medium. Although the results showed that cannulated screw combined with medial femoral plate prolonged the operation time and increased blood loss (p <0.05), it demonstrated better fracture reduction and Harris score, shorter healing time and less internal fixation failure than in the simple cannulated screw in the treatment of Pauwels type III fracture (p <0.05). The sensitivity analysis, Egger's test, and trial sequential analysis (TSA) showed that the combination results were stable and reliable. This demonstrated that compared to that with the simple cannulated screw, the cannulated screw combined with medial femoral plate had better efficacy and less complication.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of depression, subjective work-related stress and associated factors among men who have sex with men and transgender people working in community-based organisations in Pakistan.
Study design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Community-based organisations in Lahore, October 2022.
Methodology: Community-based organisations were contacted and link of the study tool in the Urdu language was shared. The study tool consisted of sociodemographic questions, substance abuse history, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) 9, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and the Subjective job stress scale (SJSS). The composite score for each scale was calculated and compared.
Results: A total of 91 men participated in the study. Of them, 52.1% were below 30 years of age. The mean PHQ-9 score was 7.62 (range 0-27), mean GSE score was 32.38 (range 12-40), and mean SJSS score was 10.48 (4-14). While 41.7% of the participants were not depressed, 31.77% had depression of at least moderate severity. About 56.52% of the study participants had an SJSS score of more than ten showing a high level of work-related stress.
Conclusion: There is a high frequency of depression among MSM and TG community health workers. High degree of self-efficacy may protect against depression. There is a need of developing comprehensive referral systems with psychiatric units for these community workers.
Key words: Community health workers, Homosexual men, Transgender, Depression.
