Summary: This study is the first attempt to investigate the relationship between two forms of bullying victimization and suicidal ideation. The results showed that rumination plays an important mediating role in the relationship between different forms of bullying victimization and suicidal ideation, while the mediating effect of insomnia was not significant in the relationship between traditional bullying victimization and suicidal ideation, but was significant in the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, both rumination and insomnia had significant chain mediating effects between different forms of bullying victimization and suicidal ideation.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of bullying victimization on suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts among adolescents in Liberia. Among the 2744 adolescents examined, 20% experienced suicidal thoughts, with about 30% reporting suicide attempts. Bullying victimization was significantly linked to increased odds of suicidal ideation and attempts, and a greater number of days bullied was associated with higher odds for suicide ideation and attempts. These findings highlight the importance of implementing effective anti-bullying policies and suicide prevention strategies in schools.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the association between different forms of child abuse within the family and peer victimization at school, considering the moderating effect of sex and educational level. Results showed that direct forms of child abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual abuse) within the family were significantly related to an increased risk of peer victimization, with emotional abuse showing the strongest association. Boys who suffered sexual abuse within the family context experienced higher levels of peer victimization, and students attending secondary school who experienced sexual abuse showed higher levels of indirect victimization compared to those in primary schools.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of serious injury and bullying victimization in vulnerable adolescents with mental health issues or poor social support, and examine the associations between social indicators and these two outcomes. The results showed that serious injury and school bullying victimization are prevalent in vulnerable adolescents aged 12-15 years, with significant associations with social indicators such as national wealth, health status, income, and gender inequality.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between asthma and work absence in a large sample of US working adults, while controlling for several sociodemographic and health characteristics. The results showed that individuals with asthma were more likely to report at least one or three days of absence from work in the past 12 months than those without asthma. Furthermore, after adjusting for all control variables, asthma was positively and significantly associated with work absence.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis found that exercise is effective in treating depression and depressive symptoms, and should be considered as a viable treatment option. Beneficial exercise interventions include supervised and group exercise, with a focus on moderate intensity and aerobic exercise. However, the small sample sizes of many studies and high heterogeneity in methods should be taken into account when interpreting the results.

Summary: This study compared the dependency in daily living activities and comprehensive geriatric assessment parameters between older patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The results showed that DLB patients are more dependent on their caregivers than AD patients, and they also have higher rates of nutritional deterioration, sleep disorders, falls, and other issues compared to AD patients.

Summary: The abbreviated version of the WHO CIDI psychosis screen yields high prevalence in online samples. Distressing psychotic experiences (PE) are more clinically informative, and individuals with distressing PE have greater odds of mental health outcomes, except for hazardous alcohol use. The use of the abbreviated version of the WHO CIDI psychosis screen may be clinically informative in public health and preventive medicine, especially when eliciting the distressful nature of PE.

Summary: The study conducted on a representative sample of Spanish adults aimed to assess the association between age groups and the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found an increase in MDD risk among younger adults during the pandemic and identified loneliness, low resilience, and worsened economic circumstances as potential mediating factors. The findings suggest that addressing loneliness, improving resilience, and providing financial support can help reduce the impact of the pandemic on depressive symptoms among young adults.

Summary: Little is known about the relationship between food insecurity and sleep problems in low- and middle-income countries, while the mediators of this association are largely unknown. Therefore, we investigated the association between food insecurity and insomnia-related symptoms in six low- and middle-income countries, and the potential mediators of this relationship.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the benefits, safety, and adherence of exercise interventions in inpatient mental health settings. The findings suggest that exercise interventions may have therapeutic benefits and be well-received by patients. However, more high-quality trials are needed to determine optimal parameters and explore systems to support exercise engagement post-discharge.

Summary: The use of antibiotics for acute otitis media (AOM) is a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance, but the optimal duration of antibiotic treatment for AOM is uncertain. This study found that a 10-day antibiotic course may be unnecessarily long, and a shorter duration of treatment (greater than 5 days) could be sufficient. The wide range of recommended antibiotic durations may have influenced the clinical outcomes of AOM, and narrower duration windows should be established.

Summary: Mesothelioma has become a major health burden worldwide due to its link with asbestos exposure. Despite bans on asbestos in many countries, the disease continues to cause significant mortality and morbidity. This study assessed the global burden of mesothelioma from 1990 to 2019 and found decreasing incidence and mortality rates, although it remains a public health challenge in many parts of the world.
