Sleep disturbances, including insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness, are highly prevalent in patients with ischemic stroke (IS), which severely impacts recovery and rehabilitation efforts. However, how IS induces sleep disturbances is unclear. Three experiments were performed on middle-aged C57BL/6J mice, instrumented with sleep recording electrodes and/or subjected to 1 h of middle cerebral artery (MCAO; Stroke group) or sham (Sham group) occlusion to induce IS. After 48 h of reperfusion (a) experiment 1 verified sensorimotor deficit (using Garcia scale) and infarction (using TTC staining) in this mouse model; (b) experiment 2 examined the effects of IS on the quality (sleep latency and NREM delta power) and quantity (duration) of sleep; and (c) experiment 3 determined the effects of IS on sleep homeostasis using sleep deprivation (SD) and recovery sleep (RS) paradigm. Stroke mice display (a) a significant correlation between sensorimotor deficit and cerebral infarction; (b) insomnia-like symptoms (increased sleep latency, reduced NREM duration and delta power) during the light (inactive) period and daytime sleepiness-like symptoms during the dark (active) period mimicking sleep in IS patients; and (c) impairments in the markers of sleep pressure (during SD) and sleep dissipation (during RS). Our results suggest that IS disrupts sleep homeostasis to cause sleep disturbances.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently associated with increased incidence and mortality of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The immune response contributes to pulmonary artery remodeling and OSA-related diseases. The immunologic factors linked to OSA-induced PH are not well understood.

Combined exposure to mixed brominated flame retardants on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in US adults.

BMC Public Health

January 2025

Department of Social Medicine, School of Health Management, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, 150081, China.

Background: Accumulating research highlights that exposure to serum brominated flame retardants (BFRs) may elevate health risks. The effects of serum BFRs, both alone and in combination, on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have not been thoroughly studied. Our main goal was to examine the association between individual and mixtures of serum BFRs and OSAS risk.

Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease, frequently affecting the skin, lungs, and pulmonary vasculature. Approximately 30-50% of SSc patients develop interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD), with 30-35% of related deaths attributed to it. Even though men are less likely to develop systemic sclerosis, they have a higher incidence of SSc-ILD than women, and they tend to develop it at a younger age with a higher mortality rate.

Objective: The association between sleep duration, caffeine intake, and bone mineral density (BMD) is not well understood, with previous studies providing controversial results. This study explores the associations among caffeine intake, sleep duration, and BMD.

Methods: Data were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018, including 13,457 participants who self-reported sleep duration and caffeine intake, with BMD measured via dual X-ray absorptiometry.
