Background: Given the importance of sleep to overall physical and mental well-being, we sought to identify the correlates of seven sleep disturbances in a cross-sectional study of a biracial population of male and female patients treated with hemodialysis.

Methods: Univariate and multivariate analyses of a cohort study of adult patients with end-stage renal disease. Demographic, psychosocial, clinical, and health and physical functioning variables were included.

Results: Waking up during the night (57%) and waking up too early (55%) were the most commonly reported sleep problems. Multivariate analyses consistently indicated that levels of pain, depressive symptoms, and physical functioning were consistently associated with the seven sleep disturbances.

Conclusion: Sleep disturbances are common in patients with end-stage renal disease. Physical and mental well-being were consistently related to the seven sleep disturbances.

Sleep-related problems (SRPs) are a common precursor to anxiety disorders, especially during peri-adolescence, and may be a predictor of treatment response. However, evidence-based anxiety treatments do not alleviate SRPs to a clinically significant degree. The current study examines whether improving sleep in a sample of young adolescents previously treated for anxiety disorders can further reduce anxiety severity.

Difficulty sleeping is common in palliative care, however often unrecognized by palliative care physicians. This retrospective review aims to gain a better understanding of the causes and treatment of sleeping disturbances in a tertiary palliative care unit. This study included 200 palliative care inpatients admitted between January 1, 2015, and August 31, 2020.

Accumulating evidence supports the efficacy of (es)ketamine in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), particularly treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Yet around 50% of the individuals with TRD do not respond to (es)ketamine. Elucidating predictors of response and remission could improve treatment outcomes at the individual level by defining subpopulations that are most likely to benefit from (es)ketamine.

Objective: Submandibular salivary gland inflammation has been suggested as one of the mechanisms underlying impaired salivary secretion associated with sleep deprivation (SD). However, whether the salivary inflammatory response occurs to the same extent in paradoxical sleep deprivation with or without sleep recovery remains unknown. This study evaluated the extent to which inflammation influences salivary impairments associated with paradoxical sleep deprivation with or without sleep recovery.
