Objective: To investigate the sleep quality and influencing factors of perimenopausal women in Ningbo region.
Methods: A total of 527 perimenopausal women who lived in Ningbo for more than 5 years were enrolled in the study. The subjects were surveyed by self-designed questionnaire and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI); PSQI > 7 was defined as the cut-off value for sleep quality. Data were analyzed by software SPSS 11.0.
Result: The mean PSQI score was 5.79 ± 3.08 and 23.6 % of perimenopausal women in the study showed poor sleep quality. The proportion of poor sleep in 55-60 age group was 40.2%, significantly higher than that of 40-44, 45-49 and 50-54 age groups (P < 0.05). The sleep quality was associated with physical exercise, social activity, sleep circumstance, anxiety and family income in perimenopausal women.
Conclusion: The sleep quality of perimenopausal women and the influencing factors are associated with mental health, life style and social environment, which suggests that some interventions should be undertaken to improve the sleep quality of perimenopausal women.

Department of Infectious Diseases, Respiratory Medicine and Critical Care, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Data regarding the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic lung volume reduction with valves (ELVR) in emphysema patients with a very low 6-min walk test (6MWT) are limited. Patients with severe emphysema and very low exercise capacity, as indicated by a 6MWT ≤140 m, are often excluded from clinical studies on ELVR, assuming limited therapeutic benefits and increased complication risk.

Comparative efficacy of sodium oxybate versus placebo on improvement of nighttime sleep in adult patients with narcolepsy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Sleep Med X
December 2025
Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar.
Background: Narcolepsy, a central hypersomnolence disorder, disrupts sleep regulation. Sodium oxybate, a CNS (central nervous system) depressant, is widely used as a treatment, but there are surprisingly very few rigorous studies comparing its effectiveness to placebo in adults.
Objectives: To measure the comparative efficacy of sodium oxybate at a dosage regimen of 9 g versus placebo in improving nighttime sleep quality, reducing nocturnal arousals and sleep stage shifts, and enhancing the overall refreshed nature of sleep in adult patients with narcolepsy.
Social network sites (SNS) an archetype of techno-social stress: A systematic review.
