Objective: To examine associations between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and executive/attentional function in pediatric sickle cell disease (SCD).
Methods: Sixty youth with SCD ages 8-18 years and caregivers completed the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ), Delis Kaplan Executive Function System Trail Making Test (DKEFS TMT), Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT), and the Behavior Rating Inventory Of Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF-2) Parent Report.
Results: The PSQ significantly predicted the BRIEF-2 Parent Report, (1, 58) = 44.64, < .001, R = 0.44, f = 0.77.
Conclusions: Sleep-disordered breathing symptoms may predict informant-rated executive dysfunction in pediatric SCD, but not performance-based executive function.

Background: Sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder, has been associated with various health conditions, including arthritis. This study investigates the relationship between sleep apnea and arthritis, examining how demographic and clinical characteristics impact this association. There are several interrelations between sleep apnea and arthritis, one of which may be attributed to systemic inflammation and oxidative stress pathways commonly activated in both conditions.

Background: Changes in sleep are common in older persons and have been linked to higher dementia risk. The link between sleep complaints and early risk markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD), namely subjective changes in cognition and mild behavioral impairment (MBI), have not been fully explored. This study investigated associations between sleep complaints with cognitive and behavioral AD risk markers and quality of life (QoL) among cognitively unimpaired older persons.

Background: Sleep apnea is associated with risk of objectively-measured cognitive decline and dementia, as well as with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), itself a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia. This relationship is understudied in ethnoracially diverse groups, however, including Latinos. This study examined associations among self-reported sleep apnea risk, SCD, and cognitive performance in community-dwelling older Latino adults.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a globally prevalent concern with significant health impacts, especially when coupled with comorbidities. Accurate detection and localization of airway obstructions are crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment, which remains a challenge for traditional sleep monitoring methods. Here, we report a catheter-based flexible pressure sensor array that continuously monitors soft tissue pressure in the upper airway and facilitates at the millimeter level.

Such concurrence will eventually contribute to a higher burden of cardiometabolic diseases, a main cause of death worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interactions between insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, cardiometabolic risk, and psychosocial stress in patients seeking care at an orofacial pain clinic.
