Summary: This study examined the temporal relationships between bi-dimensional acculturation and depressive symptoms among marriage-based immigrant mothers in Taiwan. The results showed that adaptation to the host culture and maintenance of the mother's own heritage culture had different associations with maternal depressive symptoms. Health professionals should assist immigrant mothers in adapting to the host culture while supporting their heritage culture in the childbearing period.

Summary: The study found that depressive symptoms among Chinese immigrant mothers are influenced by factors such as English proficiency, shifts in subjective social status, income, education level, and interpersonal support. Particularly, perceived upward shifts in subjective social status, higher levels of interpersonal support, and higher annual household income were associated with fewer depressive symptoms.

Summary: Parents with chronic pain are more likely to have children with depression and anxiety, which can worsen pain-related disability in children. The relationship between maternal chronic pain and offspring chronic pain is positively correlated, and maternal pain-related disability is associated with offspring pain-related disability. Depressive symptoms common to both mother and child play a key role in explaining the relationship between parent and child.

Summary: The study found that the SERT 5-HTTLPR and STin2-VNTR polymorphisms were not associated with current depressive and anxiety symptoms, but the high-risk STin2-VNTR genotypes and S/L genotype were associated with the number of prior depressive episodes.

Summary: The study aims to provide clear evidence for the use of exercise in improving depressive symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease and to investigate the differences in effects based on exercise type and intensity. The results show that physical exercise has significant antidepressant effects in patients with Parkinson's disease, and the effect is more closely associated with exercise type than intensity.

Summary: The study found that postimmigration stress is associated with depressive symptoms among recent Latinx immigrants, while premigration stress and trauma showed no significant correlation with depressive symptoms. Gender did not moderate this relationship, but depressive symptoms varied among immigrants from different countries and regions.

Summary: This study examined the association between depressive symptoms and mortality in a large, diverse, nationally representative sample of US adults and how lifestyle factors mediate this association. The results showed a graded positive association between depressive symptoms and all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and ischemic heart disease mortality. A portion of the association between depression and mortality could be explained by lifestyle factors.

Summary: This study used network analyses to examine the associations between symptoms of COPD, depression, and anxiety. The results showed that chest-tightness was related to acute anxiety, while cough and weakness were connected with core depressive symptoms. Chronic anxiety was linked with acute anxiety and depressive symptoms. Findings were confirmed after accounting for confounding factors.

Summary: This study assessed the efficacy and tolerability of Vortioxetine in treating anxiety symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder. The results showed a clear dose-response relationship for Vortioxetine in improving depressive, anxiety, and functioning symptoms. Additionally, Vortioxetine was found to be superior to agomelatine in patients with an inadequate response to prior therapy.

Summary: Obesity and chronic pain often co-occur and can have negative impacts on mental health. Anxiety sensitivity may be a predictive factor for poor mental health in this comorbid population. This study suggests that targeting anxiety sensitivity in individuals with both obesity and chronic pain may be clinically useful in treating anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Summary: With university admission, there are major changes in students' daily habits that can lead to mental health problems. Adherence to a healthy diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, can be very beneficial for mental health. This study found that poor adherence to the Mediterranean diet was significantly associated with depressive symptoms among Spanish nursing students, highlighting the importance of prevention programs focused on health and mental health issues in universities.

Summary: This study investigated the association between longitudinal cardiac troponin T (cTnT) measurements and survival in elderly patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The results showed that longitudinally measured cTnT is independently associated with an increased risk of mortality in this patient population, suggesting that monitoring cTnT levels could be a valuable tool for identifying patients at high risk of death.

Summary: This study compared the content, validity, and reliability of PROMIS CATs and SF-12 in patients with chronic kidney disease. The results showed that PROMIS CATs had sufficient construct validity and test-retest reliability, and had a lower minimal detectable change compared to SF-12. The study suggests the need for further research on the feasibility of PROMIS CATs in nephrology care.

Summary: Implementing the 2021 CKD-EPI equation in predominantly White European populations would slightly increase eGFR and reclassify a significant proportion of CKD patients to a higher eGFR category. eGFR by both equations strongly predicted outcomes.

Summary: This study validated the diagnostic accuracy of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale (HADS-A) for anxiety in hemodialysis patients. The study found that both BAI and HADS-A were effective screening tools for anxiety in dialysis patients.

Summary: The availability of electronic health records and routine measurements in kidney disease research provide opportunities but also pose challenges in terms of patient identification, marker usage, and outcome evaluation. The heterogeneity of definitions and the need to address biases are discussed, along with a proposed framework for reporting exposures and outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the association between residual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), dialysis adequacy, or serum phosphate level and chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) in incident dialysis patients. The results showed that higher residual eGFR and lower serum phosphate level, but not the dialysis dose, were related to a lower burden of CKD-aP in dialysis patients.

Summary: Cystatin C is recommended as a confirmatory test to eGFR when more precise estimates are needed for clinical decision making. However, it is uncertain whether eGFR(cr-cys) is the most accurate estimate in real-world settings, especially when there are large discordances between eGFR(cr) and eGFR(cys).

Summary: Mortality prediction is crucial in long-term kidney replacement therapy (KRT) for treatment decisions and resource planning. Existing models have mostly been internally validated, but this study externally validated the performance of two previously constructed models in the Dutch and UK KRT populations. The models showed good performance and encourage widespread implementation in European KRT populations.

Summary: This study evaluated the responsiveness and minimal important change of seven PROMIS CATs in Dutch patients. The results showed that PROMIS CATs had high responsiveness in physical function, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and depression domains, but did not perform as expected in anxiety and ability to participate in social roles and activities.

Summary: Using the PROBAST, researchers explored the trends of risk of bias in prediction research and assessed the inter-rater agreement. They found that high bias was prevalent in the Analysis domain and the overall bias trends remained relatively stable over time. The inter-rater agreement was low and could potentially be improved by altering the PROBAST or providing training.

Summary: The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of symptom experience on health related quality of life (HRQOL) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and whether illness perceptions mediated this impact. The findings suggest that worse symptom experiences could cause more unhelpful illness perceptions and consequently lead to lower HRQOL. The study highlights the importance of addressing symptom experiences and illness perceptions to improve HRQOL in kidney transplant recipients.
