Approximately 25% of children younger than 5 years experience some type of sleep problem. Whether the problem is acute or chronic, significant disruption to the child's sleep can occur and have a negative impact on the child and family. This article is the second in a two-part series on sleep in infants and young children. The purpose of this article is to provide fundamental information regarding common pediatric sleep problems for the clinician to use when assessing a child's sleep behaviors or addressing parental concerns. The definition, impact, and clinical evaluation of sleep problems are discussed.

Sleep recovery ameliorates submandibular salivary gland inflammation associated with paradoxical sleep deprivation in male Wistar rats.

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.

Purpose: In heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) populations, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with impaired health outcomes. We evaluated whether in patients with HF, concomitant HF and COPD or COPD, the number of hospitalizations would be reduced in the year after testing for SDB with and without treatment initiation compared to the year before.
Methods: We performed a multicentre retrospective study of 390 consecutive sleep-clinic patients who had a primary diagnosis of chronic HF, HF and COPD or COPD and a secondary diagnosis of SDB.

The current one-dimensional view of pathological brain changes in older persons leading to cognitive complaints, mild cognitive impairment, and ultimately dementia is incomplete. It neglects the earliest, non-cognitive, and multifaceted symptoms of gradually accumulating cerebral damage. Subtle personality changes, balance problems, muscle wasting, weight loss, changing sleep patterns and declining blood pressure and cholesterol, precede memory problems and cognitive impairment.

Epidemiological studies show a high prevalence of "insomnia" in adolescents. However, insomnia symptoms are not specific for insomnia disorder. Puberty is associated with circadian delay, which may cause insomnia symptoms such as problems falling asleep and daytime impairments, but also difficulties rising in the morning which is not a hallmark of insomnia disorder.

In 2024, several important innovations have enriched the management of respiratory diseases, including pulmonary hypertension, tuberculosis, COPD, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Notable advancements include the introduction of sotatercept in Switzerland for pulmonary arterial hypertension and mediastinal cryobiopsies, reflecting a shift toward more personalized medicine. Meanwhile, biologic therapies for COPD offer promising perspectives, and a potential path is emerging for shortening the treatment of certain forms of tuberculosis.
