    Abstract Objectives: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic markedly influenced mental health care practices, notably regarding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This was due to the redistribution of anesthetic agents used during ECT such as propofol, for intensive care units. Because in our center propofol was switched to etomidate to avoid ECT activity discontinuation, we undertook this study in order to compare Propofol and Etomidate regarding electroencephalographic seizure duration and stimulus intensity.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective and comparative study, each patient being its own control. We included patients with at least two courses of ECT on propofol and two others with etomidate over the period from September 2019 to April 2021, regardless of the psychiatric diagnosis. Our data collection process notably targeted stimulus intensity, seizure duration recorded using electroencephalography, and medication used for anesthetic induction.
    Results: Overall, we included 18 patients with a male: female ratio of 1:2.6 and a mean (and standard deviation) age of 62.7±13.4 years. We found that the mean intensity of stimulation was significantly lower with etomidate when compared to propofol (425.3±250.0 vs. 658.9±280.2 mC, P=0.001). The mean duration of electroencephalographic seizure was significantly higher with etomidate in comparison to propofol (53.5±16.6 vs. 35.0±12.2seconds, P<0.001).
    Conclusion: By using each patient as its own control, our study found that etomidate, while compared to propofol, was related to a lower level of stimulatory intensity and a longer electroencephalographic seizure duration.

    Abstract Background: Depressive symptoms are often found in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the impact of depression on overall survival and other outcomes after HSCT has not been systematically reviewed.
    Objective: The objective of this review was to determine if depression before HSCT is associated with poor posttransplant outcomes.
    Methods: We performed a systematic research, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISM) guidelines based on several databases (MEDLINE, EMBase, and PsycINFO) for cohort studies on adults undergoing HSCT, comparing overall survival or other outcomes (length of aplasia, infectious complications) between patients with depressive symptoms and controls. For studies reporting overall survival hazard ratios, we conducted a meta-analysis by calculating a 95% confidence interval hazard ratios, and we assessed heterogeneity with the I
    Results: A total of 18 studies were included in the systematic review (22,235 participants) and 8 in the meta-analysis. There were a variety of depression screening tools, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) being the most reported questionnaire. A significant association between depression and overall survival was found in 9 studies, whereas 8 studies shown no association. Depression tended to have an impact on length of aplasia and infectious complications. In the meta-analysis, depression was found to impact significantly overall survival after HSCT with a hazard ratio = 1.07 (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.11). A publication bias was found in the meta-analysis.
    Conclusion: Depression seems to have a significant impact on post-HSCT survival and on length of aplasia. A systematic screening of depression before HSCT should be considered, with validated tools such as HADS. Future research needs to be done to measure the impact of depression on HSCT response and understand its physiopathology.

    Abstract Objective: To assess anxiety among dentists practicing in Cameroon during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey, and used the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM‐A) to appraise anxiety symptoms and severity. Results: Overall, 82 questionnaires were fully completed and retained for analysis. The mean age (standard deviation) of participants was 30.2 (2.6) with 52 (62.2%) being male. The mean (standard deviation) HAM-A score was 10.5 (4.6), with minimum and maximum values of 4 and 26/56. We found that 13 (15.8%) had moderate to severe anxiety (with 11 having moderate symptoms and 2 having severe), and 69 (84.2%) had no, minimal or mild anxiety. Participants working in health facilities with more than one dentist, where less likely to have moderate/severe anxiety (OR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.05; 0.78).

    Abstract Social networking services played a crucial role in the management of previous outbreaks around the world. African populations are increasingly using social networks and this may have benefits but also harmful consequences, especially at this time of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This paper concisely discusses of these consequences which include the propagation of "fake news" and the misinterpretation of messages pertaining to the prevention and the treatment of the disease. Moreover, our commentary provides some ways to alleviate them, chiefly represented by a framed and practical communication by health authorities. We suggest for instance the systematic sharing of correct messages through official Facebook and Twitter accounts and the conception of tailored web tools dedicated to the verification of circulating information.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to assess the association of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) with methadone dose and timing of administration in patients receiving methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for opioid use disorder (OUD).
    Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients receiving MMT who had a nocturnal respiratory polygraphy between November 2015 and December 2021. Data on methadone treatment and polygraph recording, including the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were collected.
    Findings: A total of 40 patients, mostly male (72.5%), with a mean age of 35±6.7 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 25.1±4.5 kg/m
    Conclusion: In this sample of MMT patients, methadone doses of 72.5 mg and 77.5 mg were the best cut-off values for predicting AHI≥15 and≥30 events/h, respectively, especially when taken in the evening. These results should draw clinicians' attention to the importance of SAS screening, and further studies are needed, notably comparisons with buprenorphine.

    Abstract Objectives: Better knowledge of epidemiology of depressive disorders in people living with hypertension can help to implement pertinent strategies to address its burden. The objective was to estimate the prevalence of depressive disorders and symptoms in people living with hypertension in Africa.
    Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
    Data sources: PubMed, EMBASE, African Index Medicus, African Journals OnLine were searched up to 31 January 2020, regardless of the language of publication.
    Eligibility criteria: We included studies conducted among adult patients with hypertension (≥18 years) living in Africa and reporting the prevalence of depressive disorders and symptoms.
    Data extraction and synthesis: Two independent investigators selected studies, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies by using the tools developed by Joanna Briggs Institute. Multivariate random-effects meta-analysis served to pool data by considering the variability between diagnostic tools used to identify patients with depressive disorders or symptoms.
    Results: We included 11 studies with 5299 adults with hypertension. Data were collected between 2002 and 2017, from South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso. The mean age varied between 50.3 years and 59.6 years. The proportion of men ranged from 28% to 54%. The adjusted prevalence of depressive disorders taking into account the variance between diagnostic tools was 17.9% (95% CI 13.0% to 23.4%). The prevalence of depressive symptoms and major depressive symptoms was 33.3% (95% CI 9.9% to 61.6%) and 7.8% (95% CI 3.0% to 14.5%), respectively. There was heterogeneity attributable to the diagnostic tools for depressive disorders and symptoms. There was no publication bias.
    Conclusion: Notwithstanding the representativeness lack of some (sub) regions of Africa, weakening the generalisability of findings to the entire region; depressive disorders and symptoms are prevalent in people living with hypertension in Africa, indicating that strategies from clinicians, researchers and public health makers are needed to reduce its burden in the region.
