Summary: This study evaluated the quality of meta-analyses on the health effects of resveratrol through a methodological systematic review. The findings showed that most of the included meta-analyses had low methodological quality and inadequate reporting. Journal's impact factor, number of authors, and funding support were positively associated with the overall methodological quality.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the methodological quality and effect size relationship in systematic reviews with meta-analyses of preclinical studies published recently. The results showed that although there have been improvements in the methodological characteristics of recent studies, the methodological quality of included studies remains poor and there is no evidence of a potential association between study methodological characteristics and effect size.

Summary: The burden of personality disorders in China is significant, with common comorbidities in both psychotic and non-psychotic disorders. However, the distribution patterns of PDs differ between the two types of disorders, suggesting the need for specific strategies in psychiatric clinical practice to address these differences.

Summary: This study comprehensively summarizes and evaluates the associations between microbiological factors and neurodegenerative diseases. The findings indicate that Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with Parkinson's disease, and periodontal disease is a risk factor for all types of dementia. The study suggests that eradicating H. pylori and treating periodontitis aggressively are beneficial for the prevention of Parkinson's disease and dementia.

Summary: This study found differences in rates of suicide attempts and completed suicide among individuals with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, and first-episode psychosis. The rates varied by diagnosis, clinical setting, and geographical region. Northern European countries reported higher rates of completed suicide in studies of schizophrenia and first-episode psychosis.

Summary: Non-affective psychotic disorders are associated with an increased risk of dementia, particularly all-cause dementia. There is a high heterogeneity among the studies, but subgroup analyses suggest stronger associations in studies with shorter follow-up periods, studies conducted in non-European countries, studies published after 2020, and studies with a higher proportion of female participants. The associations remain significant even after excluding low quality studies.

Summary: Lateropulsion, a deficit of active body orientation in stroke patients, is a significant concern in rehabilitation. This study aimed to bridge the gap in epidemiological knowledge by analyzing 22 studies. The findings revealed a high prevalence of lateropulsion, especially in individuals with infratentorial stroke, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention.

Summary: This review highlights dysregulated microRNAs in the peripheral blood of patients with psychotic disorders. Fifty-five different miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in the blood of psychotic patients compared to controls. Among them, miR-34a and miR-181b were consistently up-regulated, and the level of miR-181b in plasma was positively correlated with the amelioration of negative symptoms.

Summary: Evidence suggests that there is an increasing trend in the likelihood of experiencing depression over time in the general population, with no significant impact from factors such as gender, age, and type of prevalence. Moreover, the high heterogeneity across studies was not explained by any of the design variables considered, and no evidence for publication bias was found.

Summary: This meta-analysis revealed that schistosomiasis during pregnancy is a significant health issue, especially in Africa. The prevalence of S. haematobium among pregnant women was significantly higher than that of S. mansoni. However, there is a lack of data on the determinants and outcomes of schistosomiasis during pregnancy.
