Background: Sleep-related breathing disorders are commonly reported in the Down Syndrome (DS) population, but data on its prevalence and severity are scarce, especially for the adult population. The increase in life expectancy and premature aging in patients with DS reinforces the need for an assessment of sleep quality. This study evaluated sleep-disordered breathing in adults with DS using sleep measures by polysomnography.

Background: The Medication Review in Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (MedRevCiD) checklist is a new tool designed to assist health care professionals in optimizing medication use in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or dementia. It consists of 6 domains, each of which addresses a specific medication use issue such as medication management and adherence. The primary objective of this study was to compare the mean number of drug-related problems (DRPs) identified with MedRevCiD Checklist to the Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI) in older adults attending a primary care-based memory clinic.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly recognized for its link to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Histone lysine demethylase 6B (KDM6B) may either prevent or promote organ fibrosis, but its specific role in IPF is yet to be clarified. This study aimed to investigate the function and mechanisms of KDM6B in IPF and the exacerbating effects of OSA.
