Introduction: The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate relevant literature regarding 1) the prevalence of nocturia in patients with insomnia; 2) sleep characteristics of insomniacs with and without nocturia; 3) interventions for the treatment of insomnia and their effect on nocturia.
Evidence Acquisition: A systematic review of literature was performed through EMBASE, MEDLINE, CLINICALTRIALS.GOV and CENTRAL databases up until November 2022 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. From the identified reports, 11 studies were retained, of which 7 were eligible for meta-analysis. Bias assessment was performed using the ROBINS tools as per the Cochrane collaboration guidelines.
Evidence Synthesis: A total of 5396 older adults were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled estimate of the OR was 1.958 (95% CI: 1.609-2.384) for nocturia in patients with insomnia based on 7 studies in a random effects model with nonsignificant heterogeneity (I=50.83%, P=0.06). Wake after sleep onset (WASO) was longer in people with insomnia and nocturia compared to those without and sleep efficiency (SE) declined. Interventions with melatonin, diet and behavioral therapy were beneficial on nocturia frequency in insomniacs. A limiting factor of our analysis was the scarcity of available data, potentially causing an important selection bias.
Conclusions: The overall odds for nocturia in older adults is higher in patients with insomnia than those without and is associated with worse sleep outcomes. Interventions for treating insomnia such as melatonin, behavioral therapy and diet show beneficial results on nocturnal voiding frequency. We advocate for further research in which uniform definitions and questionnaires are used. Routine screening for nocturia in patients with insomnia could be beneficial to maximize sleep quality improvement.

Background: Recent studies suggest that increased digital technology usage could be a factor in the rising occurrence and severity of headache episodes. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether the severity of primary headaches (migraine and tension-type headache) is associated with problematic internet use taking many covariates into account.
Methods: We conducted an online cross-sectional survey using a quantitative, descriptive questionnaire, targeting university students enrolled in correspondence courses, aged 18 to 65.

Background: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo, with frequent recurrence, particularly pronounced among middle-aged and elderly populations, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. This study aimed to identify predictive factors for recurrence in middle-aged and older patients with BPPV and to develop a nomogram prediction model based on these predictors.
Methods: This retrospective study included 582 participants aged ≥45 years who were selected from the electronic medical records system of the First Hospital of Changsha between March 2021 and March 2024.

Shoulder periarthritis, a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder, causes significant pain and functional impairment, severely affecting patients' quality of life. With the increasing incidence of shoulder periarthritis linked to modern lifestyle changes, effective prevention and treatment strategies remain elusive. This study explores two areas: first, identifying risk factors for shoulder periarthritis through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, and second, designing a motion intervention system incorporating MediaPipe and virtual reality (VR) technology.

Essential hypertension (EH) with secondary insomnia is associated with increased risks of neuroinflammation, neuronal damage, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its relationship with specific cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of neuronal damage and neuroinflammation remains unclear. This case-control study compared CSF biomarker levels across three groups: healthy controls (HC, n = 64), hypertension-controlled (HTN-C, n = 54), and hypertension-uncontrolled (HTN-U, n = 107) groups, all EH participants experiencing secondary insomnia.
