A Questionnaire-Based Cross-Sectional Study of Insomnia among Middle-Aged Adults from Greece's Northeastern Fringe, Thrace.

Insomnia constitutes a common and very debilitating disorder in modern societies. A better understanding of the etiologies and risk factors, modifiable or not, of insomnia is essential for a swifter diagnosis and a more appropriate treatment, mitigating its toll on individuals and society. To this purpose, the present study assessed the prevalence of insomnia in a randomly-selected adult population and its relation with a diverse range of socio-demographic characteristics and medical conditions.

Investigating the Predictive Value of Thyroid Hormone Levels for Stroke Prognosis.

Given the expansion of life expectancy, the aging of the population, and the anticipated rise in the number of stroke survivors in Europe with severe neurological consequences in the coming decades, stroke is becoming the most prevalent cause of functional disability.

Two databases (MEDLINE and Scopus) were searched to identify all relevant studies published between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2022 that investigated the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and acute stroke severity, mortality, and post-hospital prognosis.
