... Furthermore, the concept of resilience encompasses positive factors that can help people fight the problems in daily life. A study undertaken by Jiratchayaporn and Chetchaovalit (2015) indicated that resilience enhancement could be achieved during the childhood of males and females, and resilience enhancement can be developed from childhood to old age in both males and females without racial or religious restrictions (Javadpour et al., 2019). In addition, resilience enhancement can be promoted in people with physical (Seyedoshohadaee et al., 2018) and psychological problems (Songprakun & McCann, 2012). ...

... BDNF is known to be a key molecule in regulating neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and, thus, learning and memory functions [39]. Memory impairment is one of the neurological symptoms associated with SLE [40]; however, the mediating role of BDNF level alterations in the pathophysiology of SLE-related memory and cognitive impairment is unclear. Alessi et al. observed that serum BDNF levels were lower among SLE and NPSLE cases compared with controls; but were not associated with NPSLE-related cognitive dysfunction [31]. ...

... Nowadays, the elderly were at risk of disability in the activities of daily living [25]. The result from the current study was consistent with other studies [1,[26][27][28][29][30][31]. However, this study was different from another study that activity of daily living was not associated with stress [32]. ...

... 4 Also in a cross sectional study conducted by Sahraian et al among medical students in Shiraz recorded that those students who are married had lower rate of alcohol abuse than those who are not married, hence showing that marital status appeared to be related to substance abuse and potential development of substance related disorders. 26 From this study, it was shown that most of the okada riders are low income earners which shows the likelihood and their vulnerability to abuse substances; this is in agreement with a cross sectional study done among African American in the USA by Zapolski et al which shows that the highest rate of heavy drinking are found among African American men with low incomes ranging from $10,000-$15,000. 27 This study has few limitations. ...

... compared to 27.0%). This agrees with a study done in Iran that showed depressive symptoms were significantly higher in male than female medical students [21] . However, a study on depression showed that it is more frequent among women [13] . ...

... More than half percent of the nurses (68.3%) in managerial positions were reported to have mild stress. A study by Sahraian et al., (2013) indicated that nurses of surgical and internal wards showed significantly higher level of occupational stress in most scales of occupational stress. Moreover, evidences from a recent study by Davey et al., (2019) suggested that job demands in these surgical wards have a significant impact on the well-being of the nurses resulting in fatigue, psychosomatic symptoms and emotional exhaustion, since the study showed that a large number (42%) of emergency department nurses suffered from stress followed by surgery department nurses (15%). ...

... Since lovastatin has been shown to improve symptoms of MDD [58], it might be hypothesized that lovastatin should exacerbate mania in BD. To investigate this, lovastatin was added as an adjuvant to lithium for treating the manic phase of patients with BD in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial [134]. Lovastatin was initiated at a dose of 10 mg/day and titrated up to 30 mg/day over one week. ...

... The existence of common risk factors, the fact that depressive symptoms can be a prodromal symptom of dementia, the fact that depression is a risk factor for dementia, and the overlapping of cognitive symptoms in both conditions cause some difficulties in clarifying the diagnosis. 12,13 In our study, it was observed that neuroimaging methods requested when indicated revealed higher rates of abnormal findings (related to the underlying medical conditions) compared to blood tests routinely requested from all hospitalized patients. The rates of clinically relevant abnormal findings in the examination methods performed during the diagnosis revision process were 100% for PET, 85.7% for MRI, 85.7% for neuropsychological tests, and 80% for CT. ...

... Numerous studies that involved depriving small groups of healthy individuals of all sleep for one or two nights revealed a wide range of specific abnormalities (24)(25)(26). Among the findings in the field of emotional regulation is a rise in psychopathology symptoms, like depression (27)(28)(29)(30)(31), anxiety (28,29), and stress (32)(33)(34) including substance use (18,35). Sleep is also crucial for learning and memory processes. ...

... It can be said that the MARS is a reliable scale (26). In a study by Javadpour et al., the reliability coefficient obtained from the retest method was reported as 0.91 (27). ...
