AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Mood disorders and sleep disturbances are closely related. In elderly people, the prevalence of insomnia and depressive symptoms is increased. Moreover, somatic co-morbidities associated with aging are known to be risk factors for both insomnia and depression. Assessment of the origin of sleep complaints must consider primary and secondary insomnia, and the existence of associated depression. Causal treatment of insomnia is necessary keeping in consideration that depressive dimension can, afterward, evolve on its own. In presence of intense sleep complaints in inadequacy with somatic examination, and not documented by sleep recordings, depression must be evoked. In patients with a diagnosis of depression, treatment and monitoring of the evolution of insomnia is necessary, because persistent disturbances of sleep are associated with poor prognosis. Concerning the therapeutics, beyond antidepressant treatment and psychotherapy, chronotherapy is a promising, but still not yet evaluated, approach, which presents the advantage to limit the use of psychotropics drugs.

Background: Self-reported health problems following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection are common and often include relatively non-specific complaints such as fatigue, exertional dyspnoea, concentration or memory disturbance and sleep problems. The long-term prognosis of such post-acute sequelae of COVID-19/post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) is unknown, and data finding and correlating organ dysfunction and pathology with self-reported symptoms in patients with non-recovery from PCS is scarce. We wanted to describe clinical characteristics and diagnostic findings among patients with PCS persisting for >1 year and assessed risk factors for PCS persistence versus improvement.

This study evaluates MSK management, gender differences, and patient perceptions in Jordanian family medicine clinics, aiming to improve care strategies and outcomes in similar settings.

Low frequency noise (LFN) of unknown origin can be disturbing, especially at night, and affect sleep and relaxation. If reduction of the LFN is impossible, adding sound can mask the troubling noise or detract attention from it to reduce distress. To assess the effectiveness of this, a survey was set up consisting of three questionnaires: the first when a person requested a masking sound and follow-ups after 1 and 3 months.
