Sleep disorders form a massive global health burden and there is an increasing need for simple and cost-efficient sleep recording devices. Recent machine learning-based approaches have already achieved scoring accuracy of sleep recordings on par with manual scoring, even with reduced recording montages. Simple and inexpensive monitoring over multiple consecutive nights with automatic analysis could be the answer to overcome the substantial economic burden caused by poor sleep and enable more efficient initial diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up monitoring for individuals suffering from sleep disorders.

A valid and reliable instrument is needed for researchers and clinicians to measure SDOH. However, there is considerable variability in the screening methodologies, as well as a lack of standardization in definitions and methods for capturing and reporting SDOH data for both electronic health record software vendors and national experts on SDOH.

Welfare studies are increasingly involving the application of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) sensors, rather than the use of animal-based indicators directly assessed. PLF technology has the advantage to constantly monitor behavior over a long period of time, thus enabling the assessor to identify changes in animal time budgets in real-time. In calves, lying behavior is essential: new-borns have been reported to spend 70-80% of their daily time lying.

The disease burden of earlier and late-onset rheumatoid arthritis on depression and related geriatric syndromes.

Psychogeriatrics

January 2025

Kastamonu Training and Research Hospital, Division of Rheumatology, University of Health Sciences, Kastamonu, Turkey.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the prevalence of depression and related geriatric syndromes in earlier-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) patients, who have experienced prolonged inflammation and medication use, with those with late-onset rheumatoid arthritis (LORA) patients, who often present with an acute and severe course.

Methods: In this multidisciplinary study, patients with EORA and LORA aged 60 and over who were referred to a tertiary rheumatology clinic underwent a geronto-rheumatologic evaluation. Muscle mass and handgrip strength, cognitive function, nutritional status, Fried frailty index, fall history, gait speed, depression according to Geriatric Depression Scale and Insomnia Severity Index were recorded.
