Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the sleep quality in dialysis patients during the COVID-19 epidemic and explore the association between negative psychology (including depression, anxiety, and stress) and sleep quality in this population.
Design: A cross-sectional study including three centres.
Methods (patients Or Public Contribution): This cross-sectional study included 378 dialysis patients from April to May 2022 in three dialysis centres in Shanghai.
Methods: Depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality were measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14), and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), respectively. With a threshold of 5 to classify participants into good and poor sleep quality, with HADS/PSS-14 scores as independent variables (per standard deviation (SD) increment), respectively and binary Logistic regression model was constructed to explore the association between the three negative psychological aspects of depression, anxiety, and stress and sleep quality.
Results: The median PSQI score was 11.0 (mean ± SD: 11.8 ± 4.8). Among them, poor sleep quality (i.e., PSQI >5) was reported by 90.2% of participants. After adjusting for sociodemographic and disease-related information, HADS-depression was associated with a significant 49% (odds ratio (OR): 1.49; 95% CI 1.02-2.18) increase in the risk of poor sleep quality for each additional SD (2.4). Correspondingly, for each SD (7.1) increase in PSS-14, the risk of poor sleep quality was significantly increased by 95% (OR: 1.95; 95% CI 1.35-2.82).
Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant negative association between negative psychology, such as depression and stress, and sleep quality in dialysis patients, and this relationship was independent of the dialysis modality.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: In the context of the rampant COVID-19, the vast majority of dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease presents with severe sleep quality problems, and negative psychology is a potential influencing factor.

Itching tends to worsen at night in patients with itchy skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis. Unconscious scratching during sleep can exacerbate symptoms, cause sleep disturbances, or reduce quality of life. Therefore, evaluating nocturnal scratching behaviour is important for better patient care.

Background: Increased emotional reactivity to stress, emotional dysregulation and sleep disturbances are interdependent trans-diagnostic processes that are present in internalising disorders such as depression and anxiety disorders. This study investigated which objective and subjective parameters of stress reactivity, sleep and emotional processing would predict symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescents and young adults.
Methods: Participants were adolescents and young adults between the ages of 14 to 21 (N = 106, 25[24 %] male, M age = 17.

Background: Air pollution has been linked to respiratory diseases, while the effects of greenness remain inconclusive.
Objective: We investigated the associations between exposure to particulate matter (PM and PM), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO), ozone (O), and greenness (normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI) with respiratory emergency room visits and hospitalizations across seven Northern European centers in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) study.
Methods: We used modified mixed-effects Poisson regression to analyze associations of exposure in 1990, 2000 and mean exposure 1990-2000 with respiratory outcomes recorded duing ECRHS phases II and III.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by pruritus and a relapsing course, affecting approximately 25% of children and 4-7% of adults. This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and quality-of-life impact of tralokinumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-13 (IL-13), in treating moderate-to-severe AD in a real-world setting, with a focus on different AD phenotypes.
Methods: An observational cohort of 30 adults treated with tralokinumab for ≥ 16 weeks was analyzed.
