Article Abstract
Objective: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is often linked with a number of coexisting disorders with a relation that is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to find out the role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in metabolic syndrome (MS) in subjects with MDD and to develop a model for factors leading to MS.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted on 119 subjects. They were evaluated on sociodemographic and clinical parameters, Berlin questionnaire, and Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology. Comparisons were made using appropriate statistics. Binary logistic regression was used to find out the role of clinical parameters in the development of MS.
Results: A total of 34% with MDD had a high risk of developing OSA while 19% had metabolic syndrome. Among all clinical variables, antidepressant exposure in terms of total fluoxetine units, duration of treatment, and risk of developing OSA was found to be significantly more in patients with MS. A higher risk of OSA was found to have a higher likelihood to cause MS in patients with MDD.
Conclusion: There is a high risk of MS and OSA in subjects with MDD. The increased risk of MS is contributed by an increased risk of developing OSA among patients with MDD. Cross-sectional design and limited generalizability are the major limitations of this study.

Background: The clinical differentiation between obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS) and undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) presents significant diagnostic challenges. This study employs metabolomics to investigate metabolic reprogramming patterns in OAPS and UCTD, aiming to identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis.
Methods: Using LC-MS-based metabolomics, we analyzed serum profiles from 40 OAPS patients (B1), 30 OAPS + UCTD patients (B2), 27 UCTD patients (B3), and 30 healthy controls (A1).

Background: Antipsychotics are associated with side effects like weight gain, obesity, and menstrual disorders in Women, which can reduce treatment compliance and increase cardiovascular, metabolic risks, dementia, and other chronic diseases, as well as increase mortality, and reduce the quality of life in patients. Data on these effects in Vietnam are limited. This study evaluated changes in body weight, BMI, menstrual cycle, and metabolic syndrome components among female schizophrenic inpatients treated with antipsychotics.
