Study Objectives: Poor sleep may play a role in the risk of dementia. However, few studies have investigated the association between polysomnography (PSG)-derived sleep architecture and dementia incidence. We examined the relationship between sleep macro-architecture and dementia incidence across five US-based cohort studies from the Sleep and Dementia Consortium (SDC).

- The study explores how different types of nonoccupational sedentary behavior (SB), especially television viewing, relate to hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in middle-aged adults.
- A total of 3,370 participants were analyzed for associations between their self-reported sedentary time and health outcomes using logistic regression.
- Results showed that increased TV-SB was significantly linked to higher risks of both HTN and DM, suggesting that reducing TV time could be an effective strategy for lowering HTN risk.
Background: Children in the foster care system often have a host of prenatal and postnatal risk factors that can compromise development including disruptions in important attachment relationships. We argue that to effectively address this complex history and inform specific recommendations for intervention, it is important for an Early Childhood Mental Health (ECMH) evaluation to include both an assessment of the caregiver-child relationship status and neurodevelopment.
Case Presentation: We describe an ECMH evaluation for a 21-month-old girl who was referred to a multidisciplinary birth to three specialty clinic for difficulties separating from her preadoptive mother, indiscriminate friendliness, and emotional and behavioral dysregulation.
Article Synopsis
- * This study is the first large-scale analysis examining the relationship between EDS and genetic variations related to OSA severity, using data from over 11,500 samples across diverse populations.
- * Researchers identified 16 genetic targets linked to EDS and OSA, with eight being new discoveries, and discussed potential therapeutic implications involving insulin resistance and nutritional factors for patients with OSA and EDS.
Acoustic Droplet Vaporization Efficiency and Oxygen Scavenging in Whole Blood.

Objective: Acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) is the liquid-to-gas phase transition of perfluorocarbon (PFC) droplets to microbubbles upon ultrasound insonation. After ADV, gases dissolved in the surrounding fluid diffuse into microbubbles, enabling oxygen scavenging. Characterization of oxygen scavenging and transition efficiency (TE) in whole blood has so far been limited.
