The goal of the present systematic review was to investigate the occurrence patterns of intermittent hypoxemia in newborns throughout the early postnatal period as well as the link between neonatal intermittent hypoxemia exposure and harmful consequences such as neonatal morbidity and death. We collected data from 2014 to 2023 using several abstracting, referencing, and indexing database libraries in the field of medical sciences. A total of 715 papers were evaluated by both authors, and only seven articles met the specified review criteria after a thorough analysis. In preterm neonates with intermittent hypoxia (IH), severe morbidities such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), motor impairment, and cognitive delay were found. Only one study that extended to 18 months noted mortality. The length and occurrence of intermittent hypoxemia and the stage of premature neonates at the time of delivery are all closely associated with these morbidities. Therefore, it becomes important to continuously measure the patterns of occurrence of intermittent hypoxemia during early postnatal life to avoid its long-term morbidity and mortality impact.

The impact of brain-systemic oxygenation coupling in sleep-disordered breathing on cognitive function in elderly.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, Stanford University, 401 Quarry Road, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.

Background: Intermittent hypoxia, a consequence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), may contribute to an increased risk of cognitive decline. However, the association between SDB and cognition remains highly variable.

Methods: Fifty-two community-dwelling healthy older adults (28 women) were recruited.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the sleep disorder most frequently found in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The intermittent hypoxia (IH) caused by OSA may participate in AD pathogenesis through increase in oxidative damage and inflammation. We aimed to identify inflammatory and redox genes differentially expressed in the blood from AD patients with severe OSA compared with those with nonsevere OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly recognized for its link to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Histone lysine demethylase 6B (KDM6B) may either prevent or promote organ fibrosis, but its specific role in IPF is yet to be clarified. This study aimed to investigate the function and mechanisms of KDM6B in IPF and the exacerbating effects of OSA.

Selective Fetal Growth Restriction Leading to Cerebral Injury in Monochorionic Twins: A Case Report.

Cureus

December 2024

Neonatology Department, Daniel de Matos Maternity, Coimbra Local Health Unit, Coimbra, PRT.

Monochorionic twin pregnancies carry a risk of perinatal complications due to shared placental anastomoses, which can cause uneven blood distribution and lead to conditions like selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR). This case describes a monochorionic pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia and late-onset sFGR of twin B. Labor was prematurely induced and a 45% weight discordance between the twins was confirmed.

The hepatic clock synergizes with HIF-1α to regulate nucleotide availability during liver damage repair.

Nat Metab

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines, School of Life Science and Technology, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, China.

Nucleotide availability is crucial for DNA replication and repair; however, the coordinating mechanisms in vivo remain unclear. Here, we show that the circadian clock in the liver controls the activity of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) to support de novo nucleotide biosynthesis for DNA synthesis demands. We demonstrate that disrupting the hepatic clock by genetic manipulation or mistimed feeding impairs PPP activity in male mice, leading to nucleotide imbalance.
