Objective: Patients treated in a protective isolation unit (PIU) often experience loneliness and increased feelings of seclusion, leading to elevated levels of distress, but the relationship between psychiatric distress and environmental factors is unclear. Therefore, we retrospectively compared the impact of environmental factors on insomnia and depression between patients in the PIU and those in a standard ward (SW).
Methods: Subjects were 246 patients with hematological disorders hospitalized in Meitetsu Hospital between April 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008 (62 PIU patients and 184 SW patients). We assessed insomnia and depression, as well as concomitant corticosteroid (CS) administration, stem cell transplantation (SCT) therapy, and complications resulting from these therapies. Details of medical history and patient information were retrospectively extracted from patients' charts, medical records and the electronic laboratory database at the hospital.
Results: Patients in the PIU tended to be complicated by insomnia or depression more than those in the SW, but the stay in the PIU was not significantly related to the incidence of insomnia or depression. Our findings indicated that use of CS was a risk factor for insomnia. The prevalence of depression was higher in patients with therapeutic complications. All PIU patients with depression also received SCT.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest an increased potential for insomnia after administration of CS and depression in cases with complications after SCT, which is important to keep in mind for patients with hematological disorders.

Sleep discrepancy and brain glucose metabolism in community-dwelling older adults.
Aging Brain
November 2024
School of Psychological Science, University of Western Australia, Crawley, Western Australia, Australia.
Sleep discrepancy (negative discrepancy reflects worse self-reported sleep than objective measures, such as actigraphy, and positive discrepancy the opposite) has been linked to adverse health outcomes. This study is first to investigate the relationship between sleep discrepancy and brain glucose metabolism (assessed globally and regionally via positron emission tomography), and to evaluate the contribution of insomnia severity and depressive symptoms to any associations. Using data from cognitively unimpaired community-dwelling older adults ( = 68), cluster analysis was used to characterise sleep discrepancy (for total sleep time (TST), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep efficiency (SE)), and logistic regression was used to explore sleep discrepancy's associations with brain glucose metabolism, while controlling for insomnia severity and depressive symptoms.

Introduction: Shift work disrupts circadian rhythms, causing sleep and mood problems. Sleep reactivity-the sensitivity of sleep to stress-may affect how shift workers cope with these disruptions. This study investigated the relationship between sleep reactivity and shift work, exploring associations between sleep reactivity and sleep disturbance, mood symptoms, and quality of life in shift workers.

Objective: This study utilized two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) to investigate the bidirectional causal associations between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and five mental disorders.
Methods: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to TMD were extracted from the Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) database. The SNPs selected as instrumental variables (IVs) were required to have strong associations with the exposure phenotype and to meet the assumptions of Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Insomnia during the COVID-19 pandemic: prevalence and correlates in a multi-ethnic population Singapore.

Research Division, Institute of Mental Health, 10 Buangkok View, Buangkok Green, Medical Park, Singapore, 7539747, Singapore.
Background: Globally, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a significant impact on mental health. Sudden lifestyle changes, threatening information received through various sources, fear of infection and other stressors led to sleep disturbances such as insomnia. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of insomnia and its associated risk factors during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic among Singapore residents.
