Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the current state of sleep disorder monitoring devices, highlighting polysomnography (PSG) as the primary diagnostic method, even though it is complex and requires lab visits.
- While home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) provides convenience for monitoring sleep at home, it lacks the accuracy of PSG for certain conditions, such as mild obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
- The study advocates for creating a Chinese sleep staging database and developing advanced home monitoring devices as potential future advancements in sleep disorder diagnosis and management.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates blood-based biomarkers and their relationship with cognitive performance in women living with and without HIV.
- It aims to analyze changes in specific biomarkers (like amyloid-β and tau proteins) over a year and how these changes correlate with neuropsychological performance in women over 40.
- Findings show that women living with HIV (WLWH) had significantly lower scores in learning and memory compared to their counterparts without HIV (WLWOH), indicating potential cognitive impairments linked to their HIV status.
The microbiome is in a symbiotic relationship with the host. Among the microbial consortia in the human body, that in the oral cavity is complex. Instead of repeatedly confirming biomarkers of oral and systemic diseases, recent studies have focused on a unified clinical diagnostic standard in microbiology that reduces the heterogeneity caused by individual discrepancies.
