Purpose Of The Review: To review the data supporting the associations between sleep disorders and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, their diagnosis, consequences, treatment, and potential mechanisms.
Recent Findings: The prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome increases as pregnancy progresses secondary to physiologic changes associated with pregnancy. Sleep-disordered breathing is strongly associated with the development of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, both of which are associated with increased risk of perinatal complications. Diagnosing sleep disorders in pregnant presents added challenges, but polysomnography remains the gold standard for diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing in this group. Sleep disorders, and especially sleep-disordered breathing, are highly prevalent among pregnant women and associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Clinicians should be mindful of this association and endeavor to identify at-risk women for further evaluation.

Association between weight-adjusted waist index and obstructive sleep apnea among adults in the United States: data from NHANES (2005-2008 and 2015-2018).

Objective: We aimed to examine the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition often caused by obesity, which remains unclear.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey among adults in the United States (US) aged 20 to 65 years, covering the periods 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to 2018. The study included 8278 participants; we used multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analyses to explore the relationship between WWI and OSA.
Hypotensive Episodes Identified on 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Impaired Cognitive Function: Insights From the SPRINT Study.
Hypertension

Background: Hypotensive episodes detected by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring capture daily cumulative hypotensive stress and could be clinically relevant to cognitive impairment, but this relationship remains unclear.
Methods: We included participants from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (receiving intensive or standard BP treatment) who had 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring measured near the 27-month visit and subsequent biannual cognitive assessments. We evaluated the associations of hypotensive episodes (defined as systolic BP drops of ≥20 mm Hg between 2 consecutive measurements that reached <100 mm Hg) and hypotensive duration (cumulative time of systolic BP <100 mm Hg) with subsequent cognitive function using adjusted linear mixed models.
Meta-narrative review: the impact of music therapy on sleep and future research directions.

Sleep is essential to human health, yet 27% of the global population suffers from sleep issues, which often lead to fatigue, depression, and impaired cognitive function. While pharmacological treatments exist, non-pharmacological approaches like music therapy have shown promise in enhancing sleep quality. This review, analyzing 27 studies with various experimental paradigms, confirms that music therapy significantly improves subjective sleep quality, largely by alleviating anxiety and regulating mood through perceptual pathways.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term health outcomes and quality of life (HRQoL) associated with untreated pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in women, and to identify key factors contributing to symptom severity.
Methods: A cohort of 1,651 women aged 18 years and older with untreated PFD were recruited between June 2018 and August 2023. Data on sociodemographic, lifestyle factors, and clinical history were collected via questionnaires and clinical assessments.
