Abstract
In recent years, the global burden of diabetes distress has increased significantly worldwide, imposing mental health issues on patients and the healthcare system. Hence, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of diabetes distress and determine its psychosocial predictors among Saudi adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted at Diabetes Clinics, Tertiary Care Academic Medical Center, King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The survey questionnaire was distributed to 423 participants. The sample size was 384, where the prevalence of diabetes distress was 48.5%. Based on 5% precision and a confidence interval of 95%, the response rate was 78.25% (334 respondents), among which 61.4% of respondents were females, the remaining 38.6% were males, and the mean age was 56.39 years. The mean scores for the Saudi Arabian Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (SADDS-17) subdomains including emotional burden, physician-related distress, regimen-related distress, and interpersonal distress were 2.63 ± 1.29, 2.31 ± 1.44, 2.48 ± 1.16, and 2.23 ± 1.24, respectively. Based on the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument, Short Version (WHOQOL-BREF) transformed scores, the quality of life was recorded as 62.7%. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score (r = 0.287, p < 0.01) and the total SADDS-17 scores. The Patient Health Questionaire (PHQ) 15 scores showed significant positive correlations with the total SADDS-17 scores (r = 0.288, p < 0.01) and each of the four subdomains. Our present study revealed that diabetes distress prevalence is alarmingly high among patients in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. Our findings provide evidence that physical symptoms, quality of life, depression, and anxiety are the notable predictors of diabetes distress.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is an increasingly prevalent chronic metabolic disease characterized by prolonged hyperglycemia that leads to long-term health consequences. It is estimated that impaired healing of diabetic wounds affects approximately 25% of all patients with diabetes mellitus, often resulting in lower limb amputation, with subsequent high economic and psychosocial costs. The hyperglycemic environment promotes the formation of biofilms and makes diabetic wounds difficult to treat. In this review, we present updates regarding recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetic wounds focusing on impaired angiogenesis, neuropathy, sub-optimal chronic inflammatory response, barrier disruption, and subsequent polymicrobial infection, followed by current and future treatment strategies designed to tackle the various pathologies associated with diabetic wounds. Given the alarming increase in the prevalence of diabetes, and subsequently diabetic wounds, it is imperative that future treatment strategies target multiple causes of impaired healing in diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion or insulin action. It can be caused by the consumption of carbohydrate meals or medication side effects. Depression as a comorbid condition in an individual with diabetes is accountable for increased disability, mortality, and significant health problem in patients. As a continent, Africa does not have an overall estimation of depression prevalence among diabetes mellitus patients at a regional level. Consequently, this study's purpose was to use the meta-analysis method to summarize estimates of extant studies that have reported depression prevalence among patients with diabetes mellitus in Africa. The literature search method was executed to classify studies with reported depression prevalence with evidently designed inclusion and exclusion criteria. In total, 20 studies from sundry screened articles were appropriate for ultimate inclusion in the meta-analysis. Since substantial heterogeneity was expected, a random-effects meta-analysis was carried out using the number of cases with a total sample size to estimate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus at a regional level. The residual amount of heterogeneity was found to be high according to the statistics of τ2 = 0.06; I2 = 99.10%, chi-square = 2184.85, degree of freedom = 19 and P =< 0.001. The pooled depression prevalence was 40% within a 95% confidence interval of 29%–51%. The meta-regression analysis result showed that none of the included moderators contributed to the heterogeneity of studies. The result of effect size estimates against its standard error showed publication bias with a P-value of 0.001. The meta-analysis findings of this study have indicated that depression prevalence in Africa is still high. Reporting on numerous risk factors like socio-demographic characteristics were not possible in this study because of a lack of completeness in the included articles. Consequently, screening diabetes patients for comorbid depression with its associated risk factors is highly recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between pain and quality of life and illness acceptance, anxiety and depression in a group of patients with complicated diabetic foot syndrome, following lower limb amputation. PATIENTS AND METHODS The studies were carried out in three stages: 7 days, 6 months and 12 months after surgery in a group of 100 patients after amputation of the lower limb due to complications resulting from type 2 diabetes. The study was performed using standardised instruments: WHOQOL-BREF, the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain intensity assessment. RESULTS Pain occurred in the examined patients throughout the study. The greatest intensity of pain was observed in the postoperative period and significantly weakened over time. Pain intensity was significantly associated with worse overall QoL perceived (-0.255, p=0.011/-0.283, p=0.005) and QoL scores in the physical and psychological domains at the first and second stage of the study (physical domains -0.257, p=0.011/-0.219, p=0.03 and psychological -0.22, p=0.029/-0.24/0.018). The intensity of pain negatively correlates with the acceptance of the disease in all three stages of the study, the greater the severity of pain, the lower the acceptance of illness (-0.298, p=0.003/-0.326, p=0.001/-0.26, p=0.009). The occurrence of anxiety and depression is highly dependent on the severity of pain, especially at the first and second stage of the study (anxiety 0.203, p=0.045/0.257, p=0.01, depression 0.299, p=0.003/0.253, p=0.012). The stronger the pain, the greater the severity of mood disorders. CONCLUSION Pain and its severity are associated with QoL in the patients with complicated diabetic foot syndrome following lower limb amputation. Disease acceptance was lower in patients experiencing more severe pain at all stages of the study. There is an association of pain with the occurrence of anxiety and depression in amputees, especially 6 months after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the association of several psychosocial disorders with quality of life (QoL) among chronic hemodialysis patients. METHODS A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in 2018 and recruited chronic hemodialysis patients from 3 major hemodialysis centers in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Quality of life was assessed using a previously validated Arabic version of the dialysis version-III of the QoL index. RESULTS A total of 101 patients (56 males and 45 females) were included. The mean age was 54.0±12.3 years. The overall mean of QoL was 88.8/100 points (out of 100). The family (95.0%) and psychological/spiritual (94.7%) domains had the highest scores. The prevalence of psychosocial disorders was 24.8% for depressive symptoms, 15.8% for anxiety symptoms, 88.1% for cognitive impairment, 76.8% for insecure attachment style, and 38.6% for medium/high severity of somatic symptoms. All psychosocial disorders and higher cognition level were negatively correlated with QoL (Spearman correlation r ranged between -0.228- -0.468). After adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, anxiety symptoms and higher cognition level were independent predictors of poor QoL, while marital status (married) was an independent predictor of good QoL. CONCLUSION We report higher QoL and relatively better psychosocial profiles among current chronic hemodialysis patients than reported before. Psychosocial disorders specially anxiety can negatively impact QoL. Patients who were not cognitively impaired were more negatively affected in QOL. The findings re-emphasize the importance of the early detection and management of psychosocial disorders to improve QoL in chronic hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Some patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) may suffer from depression, but the latest information regarding the incidence of depression in patients with DFUs is limited. This review aimed to provide up-to-date information concerning the incidence of depression in patients with DFUs. We searched the literature in PubMed and Web of Science databases, limited to English publications. 11 eligible studies with a total of 2117 participants were included in this review. A random-effects model was applied due to high heterogeneity. The incidence of depression in patients with DFUs ranged from 26% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 19% to 33%) to 85% (95% CI = 78% to 92%), and was 47% (95% CI = 36% to 58%) after systematically summarizing. Subgroup analyses suggested that the incidence of depression were 49% (95%CI = 35% to 63%) in Europe, 37% (95% CI = 23% to 51%) in Asia, 62% (95% CI = 48% to 76%) in North America. Additionally, the incidence of depression were 40% (95% CI = 29% to 50%) in prospective studies, 55% (95% CI = 28% to 82%) in retrospective studies, 40% (95% CI = 29% to 50%) in cross-sectional studies. Furthermore, the incidence of depression were 43% (95% CI = 25% to 60%), 49% (95% CI = 35% to 63%), 68% (95% CI = 35% to 102%), 32% (95% CI = 26% to 38%), and 28% (95% CI = 18% to 38%) in patients with DFUs assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, EuroQol 5-Dimension Questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, respectively. The estimates were robust in the sensitivity analysis. According to the meta-regression analyses, diabetes mellitus duration (t = 0.93, P = .422), publication years (t = -0.72, P = .488), and age of subjects (t = 0.01, P = .989) were not the sources of high heterogeneity. Our meta-analysis showed nearly half of patients with DFUs had depression problems.
