    Abstract Over the years, worsening climate change has led to multiple spells of heavy rain and floods in Pakistan, with the 2022 floods ranked as the deadliest in world history. To top it off, decades of political instability, mental health stigma, and lack of psychological support have tipped the after-effects over the edge. These floods have taken a toll on more than 13 000 people, with inaccessibility to vital necessities leading to further deaths every week. Local and international support is imminent for better handling of the crisis and reducing the incidence of post-traumatic stress disorders and other mental health-related issues.

    Abstract Healthcare workers (HCWs) have faced an increased amount of mental health struggles amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. However, those in conflict-based settings with fragile healthcare systems meet additional challenges. This study reviews violence, conflict and mental health among HCWs in five countries: Syria, Palestine, Yemen, Afghanistan and Lebanon. Our study reports that HCWs are targeted by violence, bombings, mistreatment and different forms of abuse, including verbal and physical. With the additional burdens of the pandemic including prolonged working hours, limited resources and insufficient humanitarian aid, the healthcare workers fall victim to increased levels of burnout and mental illnesses. The situation leads to dire consequences on their personal lives and professional development, compelling them to quit their job or country all together. Although healthcare workers remain resilient in these conflict-based settings, immediate interventions are required to prevent violence against them and cater to their rapidly declining mental health.

    Abstract The effect of Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on the occurrence of AF and stroke remains unclear due to underpowered individual studies. We aim to conduct a meta-analysis including all studies that have evaluated the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on the occurrence of AF and stroke. We queried electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov) for randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors. Trials were selected if they reported 1 or both of the pre-specified outcomes of stroke and AF. Results were pooled using a random-effects model. Subgroup analysis was conducted to study patients with T2DM, HF, CVD and CKD. 56 trials comprising 111,773 patients were included. SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced the incidence of AF across all studies (RR:0.87; 95%CI, [0.76-0.99], P=0.03, I^2=0%) especially when used as monotherapy (RR:0.87; 95%CI, [0.77-0.99], P=0.04, I^2=0%) and among T2DM patients (RR:0.83; 95%CI, [0.72-0.97], P=0.02, I^2=0%). The risk of stroke was not reduced after treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors (RR:0.97; 95%CI, [0.89-1.07], P=0.56, I^2=0%) and this was consistent when given as monotherapy (RR:0.98; 95%CI, [0.89-1.07], P=0.62, I^2=0%) or combination therapy (RR:0.58; 95%CI, [0.17-1.95], P=0.38, I^2=0%). This result was consistent among the 3 subpopulations: T2DM, CVD and HF, however benefit was seen in patients with CKD (eGFR<90) (RR:0.85; 95%CI, [0.75-0.97], P=0.02, I^2=0%). SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation, and this effect is primarily seen when given as monotherapy and in patients with T2DM. However, they have no significant effect on the incidence of stroke, except for in patients with Stage 2 CKD and beyond (eGFR<90).
