Study Objectives: We investigated associations between inflammatory profiles/clusters and sleep measures in people living with HIV and demographically-/lifestyle-similar HIV-negative controls in the Pharmacokinetic and clinical Observations in PeoPle over fiftY (POPPY)-Sleep substudy.
Methods: Primary outcome was insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]>15). Secondary sleep outcomes included 7-day actigraphy (e.g. mean/standard deviation of sleep duration/efficiency), overnight oximetry (e.g. oxygen desaturation index [ODI]) and patient-reported measures (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) sleep questionnaires). Participants were grouped using Principal Component Analysis of 31 biomarkers across several inflammatory pathways followed by cluster analysis. Between-cluster differences in baseline characteristics and sleep outcomes were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis/logistic regression/Chi-squared/Fisher's exact tests.
Results: Of the 465 participants included (74% people with HIV, median [interquartile range] age 54 [50-60] years), only 18% had insomnia and secondary sleep outcomes suggested generally good sleep (e.g. ODI 3.1/hr [1.5-6.4]). Three clusters with distinct inflammatory profiles were identified: "gut/immune activation" (n = 47), "neurovascular" (n = 209), and "reference" (relatively lower inflammation; n = 209). The "neurovascular" cluster included higher proportions of people with HIV, obesity (BMI>30 kg/m2), and previous cardiovascular disease, mental health disorder, and arthritis of knee/hip relative to the other two clusters. No clinically relevant between-cluster differences were observed in proportions with insomnia (17%, 18%, 20%) before (p = .76) or after (p = .75) adjustment for potential confounders. Few associations were observed among actigraphy, oximetry, and PROMIS measures.
Conclusions: Although associations could exist with other sleep measures or biomarker types not assessed, our findings do not support a strong association between sleep and inflammation in people with HIV.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the impact of online learning on the mental health and health behaviors of Thai dental students during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among Thai dental students from first to sixth year who had been engaged in online learning during the COVID-19 period. A total of 440 students participated.

Background: While bedtime procrastination is commonly associated with adverse outcomes such as poor sleep quality, the mechanisms mediating these effects remain underexplored. Grounded in the Self-Regulation Model of Behavior and the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, this study examines the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal in the relationship between bedtime procrastination and sleep quality over time.
Methods: Employing a longitudinal design, the study examined the progression of bedtime procrastination, cognitive reappraisal, and sleep quality among university students at three distinct time points throughout an academic semester.
Knowledge of the natural history of deficiency disorder (CDD) is limited to the results of cross-sectional analysis of largely pediatric cohorts. Assessment of outcomes in adulthood is critical for clinical decision-making and future precision medicine approaches but is challenging because of the diagnostic gap and duration of follow-up that would be required for prospective studies. We aimed to delineate the natural history retrospectively from adulthood.

Adolescents with diabetes mellitus (DM) experience poorer glycemic outcomes and lower adherence to self-management regimens compared to other age groups. The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed new barriers to DM self-management, including social distancing measures and additional stressors. We conducted a scoping review of peer-reviewed literature to examine self-management regimens and outcomes among adolescents aged 10-17 years with type 1 and type 2 DM during the pandemic.

Background: Chronic emotional distress among cardiac arrest (CA) survivors and their caregivers is prevalent and worsens quality of life and recovery. Interventions to prevent chronic distress post-CA are needed. We developed (RT-CA), an intervention to increase resiliency in CA survivor-caregiver dyads (pairs).
