Sleep problems are common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with potential repercussions on neurobehavioral functioning exacerbating socio-communicative impairments and aggressive behaviors. Parent reports are the most used method to assess sleep in pediatric populations and a modified 23-item of Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) for ASD has been proposed in the United States. The generalizability of the CSHQ for ASD has yet to be validated across countries, including Italy.

Background: The number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) implanted has been growing and the population who receive the device is older and has more comorbidities. Long bed rest and immobilisation have always been common after the implant, but a consensus does not exist on the argument.

Purpose: To map and synthesise available literature on the mobilisation approach after the implant of a CIED and which correlated outcomes exist.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the relationship between mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, PTSD) and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in women firefighters.
  • The analysis involved 372 participants, finding that while depression showed no significant impact on AMH levels, anxiety and PTSD were associated with notably lower levels of AMH.
  • The results suggest that mental health issues may affect reproductive health, highlighting potential biological mechanisms behind these associations.

Social support is a known protective factor for mental health; however, women may be excluded from the supportive peer network of the firehouse.

The literature suggests that alterations in functional connectivity (FC) of the Salience Network (SN) may contribute to the manifestation of some clinical features of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The SN plays a key role in integrating external sensory information with internal emotional and bodily information. An atypical FC of this network could explain some symptomatic features of ASD such as difficulties in self-awareness and emotion processing and provide new insights into the neurobiological basis of autism.
