Migraine and sleep disorders are common and often burdensome chronic conditions with a high prevalence in the general population, and with considerable socio-economic impact and costs.The existence of a relationship between migraine and sleep disorders has been recognized from centuries by clinicians and epidemiological studies. Nevertheless, the exact nature of this association, the underlying mechanisms and interactions are complex and not completely understood. Recent biochemical and functional imaging studies identified central nervous system structures and neurotransmitters involved in the pathophysiology of migraine and also important for the regulation of normal sleep architecture, suggesting a possible causative role, in the pathogenesis of both disorders, of a dysregulation in these common nervous system pathways.This systematic review summarizes the existing data on migraine and sleep disorders with the aim to evaluate the existence of a causal relationship and to assess the presence of influencing factors. The identification of specific sleep disorders associated with migraine should induce clinicians to systematically assess their presence in migraine patients and to adopt combined treatment strategies.

Background: HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) are prevalent complications of ageing with treated HIV, disproportionally affecting sub-Saharan Africa. Causal HAND treatments are lacking worldwide; therefore, reversible factors are important to explore. Sleep duration and quality are frequently associated with risk of cognitive impairments.

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: Increasing evidence points to the possible risk roles of psychosocial factors (lack of education, active social participation, physical exercise and mentally stimulating activity, economic instability, traumatic life events) in the pathogenic process and clinical manifestation of dementia disorders. In recent years in our country, in the context of a complex inflationary process, there has been an increase in all indicators of vulnerability and poverty, exceeding 40% of the population below the poverty line in 2023 and around 9% below the indigence line.

Background: Medical history and healthcare utilization in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) are not well characterized and may reveal indicators associated with asymptomatic stages of AD.

Methods: This retrospective observational study compared 246 Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic AD study (A4) individuals who met elevated brain amyloid eligibility criteria to 121 individuals in the companion Longitudinal Evaluation of Amyloid Risk and Neurodegeneration study (LEARN) who were eligible for A4 except did not meet elevated amyloid eligibility criteria. Matched-controls for A4/LEARN, using a 3:1 match of demographics, Medicare enrollment month, and frailty status, were randomly selected from Medicare beneficiaries without cognitive impairment/dementia claims.

Background: Poor sleep is associated with neurodegenerative diseases underlying dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD). Performing assessments within clinical or laboratory settings may influence validity, however feasibility of home sleep and memory assessments in this population is currently undetermined. This study aimed to identify whether remote home-based sleep and memory research including wearable technology was feasible in older adults with MCI and dementia.
