Journal ArticleDOI

A Meta-Analysis of Cytokines in Major Depression

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies measuring cytokine concentration in patients with major depression reports significantly higher concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 in depressed subjects compared with control subjects, strengthening evidence that depression is accompanied by activation of the IRS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sedative hypnotics in older people with insomnia: meta-analysis of risks and benefits

TL;DR: Improvements in sleep with sedative use are statistically significant, but the magnitude of effect is small, and the increased risk of adverse events is statistically significant and potentially clinically relevant in older people at risk of falls and cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Meta-Analysis of Cytokines in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The results strengthen the clinical evidence that AD is accompanied by an inflammatory response, particularly higher peripheral concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, TGF-β,IL-12 and IL-18 and higher CSF concentrations of T GF-β.
Journal Article

Efficacy and safety of cholinesterase inhibitors in Alzheimer's disease: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trials of currently marketed ChEIs, used in therapeutic doses for at least 12 weeks, results in a modest but significant therapeutic effect and modestly but significantly higher rates of adverse events and discontinuation of treatment.
