Background: Primary headache disorders (PHDs) are associated with sleep problems. It is suggested that headache and sleep disorder share anatomical and physiological characteristics. We hypothesised that patients with PHDs were exposed to a great risk for developing sleep apnoea (SA).
Methods: In this retrospective longitudinal study, the data obtained from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database in Taiwan were analysed. The study included 1346 patients with PHDs who were initially diagnosed and 5348 patients who were randomly selected and age/sex matched with the study group as controls. PHDs, SA, comorbidities and other confounding factors were defined based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification. Cox proportional hazards regressions were employed to examine adjusted HRs after adjusting with confounding factors.
Results: Our data revealed that patients with PHDs had a higher risk (HR 2.17, 95% CI 1.259 to 3.739, p<0.05) to develop SA compared with matched cohorts, whereas patients with migraine exhibited a high risk (HR 2.553, 95% CI 1.460 to 4.395, p<0.01). The results showed that patients with PHDs aged 18-44 exhibited highest risk of developing SA. In addition, males with PHDs exhibited an HR 3.159 (95% CI 1.479 to 6.749, p<0.01) for developing SA, respectively. The impact of PHDs on SA risk was progressively increased by various follow-up time intervals.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that PHDs are linked to an increased risk for SA with sex-dependent and time-dependent characteristics.

Introduction: In 2021, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) published the IASLC Language Guide as guidance on preferred language and phrasing in oral and written communications, including presentations at conferences. This study analyzed presentations from the 2022 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) one year after implementation of the Language Guide to identify adoption rates of non-stigmatizing language and to determine correlations with presenter characteristics.
Methods: We downloaded 522 slide presentations from the IASLC WCLC 2022 conference attendee portal.

Background/objectives: The "One Health" approach underscores the connection between human, animal, and environmental health, promoting solutions to global challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) promotes a plant-based diet with organically grown plants to reduce the environmental impact of meat production and decrease the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The BIOQUALIM project will evaluate the PHD's effectiveness in preventing NCDs like periodontal diseases and cancers through four inter-related studies.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied patients with a medical condition that makes them more likely to develop blood clots (called primary hypercoagulable diseases, or PHDs) who had surgery for joint replacements (TJA).
- They found that patients with PHD had more consultations with blood specialists and used more blood-thinning medications than patients without this condition, but both groups had similar recovery rates and complications.
- The results suggest that even though PHD patients have extra monitoring and treatment, they don't face significantly higher risks after surgery, indicating that careful preparation and follow-up can help them recover safely.

Introduction: Skin cancer, a significant global health issue, requires prompt detection and management, particularly among the elderly. Primary care physicians play a critical role in early diagnosis because they are often the first to evaluate patients with skin lesions. Accurate diagnosis by family physicians is essential for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes.

Introduction: This paper addresses the dilemmas of accessibility, comprehensiveness, and ownership related to health data. To resolve these dilemmas, we propose and justify a novel, globally scalable reference architecture for a Personal Health Data Space (PHDS). This architecture leverages decentralized content-addressable storage (DCAS) networks, ensuring that the data subject retains complete control and ownership of their personal health data.
