Introduction: Sleep plays a critical role in daily functioning and stroke recovery but receives little attention in stroke rehabilitation. Sleep disturbances are linked to affective and cognitive impairments, but temporal associations between sleep and affect and cognitive symptoms are less clear. Understanding these temporal associations may inform new directions in intervention and prevention to support continued stroke recovery.
Objective: To examine the bidirectional temporal associations between sleep and affect and cognitive symptoms among community-dwelling stroke survivors.
Design: A secondary analysis of a longitudinal observational study involving 7 days of ecological momentary assessment (EMA), during which participants completed eight EMA surveys and a sleep diary per day. Multilevel modeling was used to analyze data.
Setting: Community.
Participants: Community-dwelling stroke survivors (N = 40).
Interventions: Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures: EMA measures of depressed affect, cheerful affect, and cognitive symptoms. Sleep quality and duration as measured using a sleep diary.
Results: Between-person sleep quality was negatively associated with next-day depressed affect (B = -.16; p = .028) and positively associated with next-day cheerful affect (B = .63; p < .001). Inversely, between-person depressed affect was negatively associated with next night sleep quality (B = -.77; p = .015), and vice versa for cheerful affect (between-person: B = .45; p < .001; within-person: B = .09; p = .008). Long sleep (>9 hours) was positively associated with next-day cognitive symptoms (B = .13; p = .002), whereas cognitive symptoms were associated with a higher odds of long sleep the following night (odds ratio [OR] = 0.25; p = .047).
Conclusions: This study identified the bidirectional associations of sleep with affect and cognitive symptoms in the context of the everyday life of stroke survivors. The findings suggest that interventions addressing sleep quality and duration may impact affect and cognitive symptoms, and vice versa.

Department of Neurology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Keelung, Taiwan.
Background And Objectives: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an acute inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system, is characterized by muscle weakness and paralysis. Prompt identification of patients at a high risk of poor outcomes is crucial for timely intervention. In this study, we combined clinical data with nerve conduction study and electromyography data to identify the predictors of GBS outcomes.

Melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigment. In contrast to non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma is more invasive. Melanoma was distinguished by its rapid progression, high metastatic potential, and significant resistance to conventional therapies.

Investigation of causal associations between cerebral cortical structure and Barrett's esophagus: insights from Mendelian randomization and meta-analysis.
J Thorac Dis

Surgical Department, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a precancerous condition often associated with esophageal adenocarcinoma, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. However, there is controversy regarding the causal relationship between cerebral cortical structures and BE, with recent studies suggesting a potential neurobiological component to its multifactorial etiology. This study aims to clarify this relationship by utilizing Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the potential causal effects of cortical structure variations on BE risk.
