Introduction: We investigated whether depression modified the associations between sleep duration and cognitive performance.
Methods: Multivariable linear regression models examined the associations between sleep duration and cognition in 1,853 dementia- and stroke-free participants from the Framingham Heart Study. Participants were categorized in four groups: no depressive symptoms, no antidepressants; depressive symptoms without antidepressants use; antidepressant use without depressive symptoms; both depressive symptoms and antidepressant use.
Objective: A high office blood pressure (BP) is associated with cognitive decline. However, evidence of 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring is limited, and no studies have investigated whether longitudinal changes in 24-h BP are associated with cognitive decline. We aimed to test whether higher longitudinal changes in 24-h ambulatory BP measurements are associated with cognitive decline.

- * A study with 20 early-stage PD patients revealed that better deep sleep and olfactory identification correlated with improved cognitive performance, while other sleep variables did not have significant associations.
- * Participants with RBD showed notably worse cognition and did not achieve deep sleep, suggesting that addressing sleep quality, smell perception, and cognition together could help identify high-risk individuals for early interventions.
Microservices is an architectural style for service-oriented distributed computing, and is being widely adopted in several domains, including autonomous vehicles, sensor networks, IoT systems, energy systems, telecommunications networks and telemedicine systems. When migrating a monolithic system to a microservices architecture, one of the key design problems is the "microservice granularity definition", ., deciding how many microservices are needed and allocating computations among them.

However, it remains undocumented which of the office and ambulatory BP measurements have the strongest association and predictive information in relation to the presence of type I, or arteriolosclerosis type, cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD).
