AI Article Synopsis
- Sleep disturbances in older adults with end-stage kidney disease can worsen kidney function and lead to negative health outcomes, especially for those on dialysis.
- Key attributes of these disturbances identified in the analysis include difficulties with falling and staying asleep, restless sleep, and abnormal breathing during sleep.
- There is a need for tailored interventions to improve sleep in this population, supported by findings from literature reviews and case studies for future research development.
Article Abstract
Sleep disturbances are serious issues in individuals with end stage kidney disease because they are associated with worsening kidney function and other negative health outcomes, especially in older adults. Our analysis aimed to provide clinicians with the conceptual clarity required for managing sleep disturbances in older patients who are receiving dialysis. A literature review revealed three attributes that define this population's sleep disturbances: sleep initiation and maintenance difficulties, restless sleep and short sleep, and abnormal breathing during sleep. Con sidering the serious consequences and correlates of sleep disturbances in older patients who are receiving dialysis, tailored interventions are needed to improve their sleep. Our literature review, concept analysis, and case studies provide key information for designing future mechanistic, clinical-translational, and interventional research.

Evaluation of sleep disorders in children and adolescents affected by Klinefelter syndrome.

Unlabelled: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common sex chromosomal aneuploidy in males (47,XXY karyotype in 80-90% of cases), primarily characterized by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and infertility. It encompasses a broad phenotypic spectrum, leading to variability in neurocognitive and psychosocial outcomes among affected individuals. Despite the recognized correlation between KS and various neuropsychiatric conditions, studies investigating potential sleep disorders, particularly in pediatric subjects, are lacking.

Background: After breast cancer (BC), women may face other severe symptoms such as sleep problems. The use of simple, fast, and reliable scales is necessary in the clinic to improve patient benefits, and sleep is an important aspect to be addressed.
Objective: This study was conducted to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the satisfaction, alertness, timing, efficiency, and duration (SATED) scale for measuring sleep health in women who have completed treatment for BC in Spain (SATED-BC).
The Association of Sodium or Potassium Intake Timing with Athens Insomnia Scale Scores: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Nutrients

Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-0037, Japan.
Background/objectives: Insomnia is a significant public health problem affecting a large population. Although previous research has explored the relationship between specific nutrients and insomnia, comprehensive analyses of daily eating patterns of macro- and micronutrients remain limited. Since nocturnal hypertension is related to sodium/potassium intake and sleep disturbances, the present cross-sectional study hypothesized that daily eating patterns of potassium and sodium would be associated with Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) scores.

The chronotype, the personal predisposition towards morning or evening activities, significantly influences health conditions, sleep, and eating regulations. Individuals with evening chronotypes are often at a higher risk for weight gain due to misalignment between their natural tendencies of functioning and social schedules, resulting in insufficient sleep, disruptions in eating habits, and decreased physical activity levels. Often, impaired glucose tolerance and changes in melatonin, adiponectin, and leptin secretion, along with alterations in the clock gene functions in subjects with evening preferences, may be predisposed to obesity.

Sleep is the most important physiological function of all animals studied to date. Sleep disorders include narcolepsy, which is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, disruption of night sleep, and muscle weakness-cataplexy. Narcolepsy is known to be caused by the degeneration of orexin-synthesizing neurons (hypocretin (HCRT) neurons or orexin neurons) in the hypothalamus.
