Objectives: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify which biomarkers for sleep disturbance were the most prevalent and significant in the literature across chronic illnesses.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, to provide a map of the existing literature on the biomarkers of sleep disturbance in adults with chronic illness. Peer-reviewed articles published between 2010-2020 were included if they measured a biomarker and discussed sleep deprivation, disturbance, or dysfunction secondary to a chronic illness.
Results: A total of 21 articles were included and synthesized using data charting. There were 24 different biomarkers identified, most commonly collected through serum. Biomarkers were grouped, then biomarkers and correlations with sleep were identified and mapped.
Discussion: Overall, the most common biomarkers studied were interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), c-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β). Cytokines were the most commonly studied biomarkers, with a majority of studies focusing on pro-inflammatory cytokines. Based on the results of this review, CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) showed themost significant correlations with sleep across all chronic illnesses. Future research is still needed to identify an ideal biomarker for sleep disturbance that can be used across chronic illnesses.

Sleep posture is a key factor in assessing sleep quality, especially for individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), where the sleeping position directly affects breathing patterns: the side position alleviates symptoms, while the supine position exacerbates them. Accurate detection of sleep posture is essential in assessing and improving sleep quality. Automatic sleep posture detection systems, both wearable and non-wearable, have been developed to assess sleep quality.

Circadian misalignment, due to shiftwork and/or individual chronotype and/or social jetlag (SJL), quantified as the difference between internal and social timing, may contribute to cardiovascular disease. Markers of endothelial dysfunction and activation of the coagulation system may predict cardiovascular pathology. The present study aim was to investigate the effects of shift work, SJL, and chronotype on endothelial function and coagulation parameters.

Background/objectives: Breast cancer survivors undergoing long-term endocrine therapy often experience multiple symptoms, including pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, hot flashes, anxiety, and depression. This study explored the feasibility and acceptability of integrating acupuncture for symptom management in medically underserved breast cancer survivors.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at two clinics serving medically underserved populations.

Objective: To assess the association between sleep patterns and sleep factors (sleep duration, trouble sleeping, sleep disorder) and the risk of depression in older adults.
Methods: A total of 5636 participants (2754 men and 2882 women) aged 60 years and older from the 2007-2014 waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included. Sleep duration, sleep problems, and sleep disorders were assessed in the home by trained interviewers using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) system.

We aimed to investigate the frequency of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and neuropathic pain (NeP) in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK), and their relationship with disease activity, and quality of life (QoL). In this prospective case-control study, we evaluated 30 patients with TAK and 28 healthy subjects. Demographic, clinical, and current treatment-related data were also recorded.
