Background: The interaction between smoking and sleep seems appears to be bidirectional, but few studies evaluated the impact of smoking and its cessation on objective sleep parameters. In this context, this new study aimed to assess the impact of smoking and its cessation on sleep architecture and on ventilatory sleep parameters, particularly the presence of sleep apnea syndrome (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)≥15). Methods: Patients hospitalized for polysomnographic sleep exploration were compared according to their smoking status: active smokers (AS), former smokers (FS), non-smokers (NoNi). Psychiatric and non-psychiatric co-morbidities and treatment or substance use were taken into account in the analyses.
Results: A total of 170 participants were included (N = 37 FS, 39 AS, 86 NoNi). A significant decrease in the mean nocturnal O saturation was observed for FS and AS compared to NoNi. No differences were found regarding AHI. Regarding sleep architecture, we observed a significant decrease in the slow wave sleep duration for AS compared to NoNi, and interestingly not between FS and NoNi.
Conclusion: This study suggests that current smokers suffer from alterations in both sleep architecture and ventilatory parameters, the later appears to persist even after smoking cessation.

Background: Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) (e.g., aggression, psychosis, anxiety, apathy, depression, agitation, sleep disturbances, repetitive behaviors) occur in 85% of AD patients, and are associated with accelerated decline, out-of-home placement, increased costs, and greatly increased suffering of patients and families.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is defined by the pathological aggregation of amyloid-beta and hyperphosphorylated tau. AD patients often exhibit other symptoms like metabolic and sleep dysfunction. Currently, it is unclear if impairments are a cause or consequence of Aβ or tau aggregation.

External rigid distraction is an established method for achieving subcranial Le Fort III advancement in severe syndromic craniosynostosis. Craniofacial surgeons commonly use halo-type devices for these corrections, as they allow for multiple vectors of pull and facilitate larger midfacial advancements. Although most complications related to their use involve pin displacement or infection, rare complications such as skull fractures have been reported.

Article Synopsis
- The primary cilium is a crucial organelle involved in various signaling pathways, and its dysfunction is linked to conditions like Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Alzheimer's, and autism, all of which can lead to cognitive impairment.
- Researchers studied the effects of temporarily disabling the IFT88 gene, vital for cilia formation, in adult mice to understand cilia's role in brain activity.
- The findings showed that mice lacking functional cilia had significant learning deficits and abnormal brainwave patterns, emphasizing the importance of primary cilia for proper neural function and memory in adults.
