Objectives: Endometriosis is a disease that significantly affects the quality of life of patients. Continuous pelvic pain seen in patients disrupts their well-being. The aim of this study is to examine the changes in depression and sleep disorders in patients with endometriosis before and after the operation.
Study Design: Forty-two women aged 18-49 with an indication for operation due to the diagnosis of stage 4 endometriosis and without a known psychiatric disorder were included in the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Beck Depression Inventory were used to compare sleep quality and mood of endometriosis patients before and after surgery.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 33.8 ± 7.6. The mean BMI of the patients was 24.6 ± 4.1. Endometrioma diameter was 248.42 ± 95.7 cm3 in patients with poor sleep quality, while it was 296.11 ± 271.53 cm3 in patients with good sleep quality, and a significant difference was observed (p < 0.05). Poor sleep quality and severe depression were significantly higher in patients with infertility complaints. It was observed that sleep quality was not significantly correlated with bilateral endometrioma, a nodule in the Douglas, sacrouterine tenderness and mean ASRM scores (p > 0.05). A significant decrease in depression complaints and a significant increase in sleep quality were observed in patients who underwent stage-4 endometriosis surgery (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: We showed that there was a significant increase in sleep quality and a significant decrease in depression symptoms in patients who underwent stage-4 endometriosis surgery. Since endometriosis affects the social life of patients in many ways, it is necessary to increase the knowledge and experience about the treatment of endometriosis with larger studies to be done. We believe that surgical treatment can reduce social problems and increase the quality of life of endometriosis patients.

Background And Objective: Non-motor symptoms frequently develop throughout the disease course of Parkinson's disease (PD), and pose affected individuals at risk of complications, more rapid disease progression and poorer quality of life. Addressing such symptom burden, the 2023 revised "Parkinson's disease" guideline of the German Society of Neurology aimed at providing evidence-based recommendations for managing PD non-motor symptoms, including autonomic failure, pain and sleep disturbances.
Methods: Key PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) questions were formulated by the steering committee and refined by the assigned authors.

Background: Prolonged exposure to LED-light has been associated with impaired sleep quality and pathogenesis of various diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Red light therapy has been indicated as a non-invasive way of reducing anxiety, mood and sleep optimization in neurodegenerative disorders but its endogenous mechanisms are insufficiently comprehended. Hence, we assessed the effects of scheduled red-light exposure on clock genes-Bmal1 and Per 1 expression, feacal boli frequency, and anxiety-like responses in prolonged LED-light exposed rats.

Background: Obesity is caused by the buildup of excess body fat, which upsets homeostasis. Genetic, epigenetic, and behavioural variables all have a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. In turn, obesity throws off the sleep cycle, leading to sleep problems.

Background: Old adults' sleep patterns change during the aging process. Among old adults, 40% of individuals experience insufficient sleep and complain of sleeping disorder, including a decline in the quality of sleep. Patients with dementia also experience sleep disorders, and the most common intervention for this is pharmacotherapy.

Background: The glymphatic system has been suggested as an important clearance mechanism for amyloid-β (Aβ) during sleep. Animal and cellular models have suggested this clearance mechanism involves the water-channel protein, Aquaporin-4 (encoded by the AQP4 gene), located primarily in the astrocytic end-feet. We have previously reported on the interaction between genetic variants within AQP4, sleep and cross-sectional cortical amyloid-β (Aβ) burden.
