Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with several adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Previous studies reported a link between altered sleep and risk of GDM. This systematic review aims to collate evidence on the association between impaired sleep quality and duration, and the risk of GDM.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched up to January 20, 2024. Studies reporting the association between impaired sleep quality and duration and risk of GDM were included. Sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Random-effects meta-analysis was performed, and the results were reported as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: 19 studies were included. Meta-analysis revealed a significant increase in the risk of GDM in pregnant women with poor sleep quality (i.e. <5 PSQI) (HR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.26 - 1.78, < .001). Sleep duration of <7 h (HR: 1.56, 95% CI.: 1.20 - 2.01, < .001), and >8 h (HR: 2.32, 95% CI.: 1.19 - 4.50, = .01) were also associated with a significantly higher incidence of GDM.
Conclusion: Sleep quality and duration emerge as critical risk factors of GDM. Healthcare practitioners should consider targeted interventions to improve sleep hygiene as a potential measure for GDM prevention.

Background: Few studies have addressed the association of sleep disturbances with incident dementia with long lag times. We add to this literature by investigating how lag times varying from 2.2 to 23.

Background: Increased emotional reactivity to stress, emotional dysregulation and sleep disturbances are interdependent trans-diagnostic processes that are present in internalising disorders such as depression and anxiety disorders. This study investigated which objective and subjective parameters of stress reactivity, sleep and emotional processing would predict symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescents and young adults.
Methods: Participants were adolescents and young adults between the ages of 14 to 21 (N = 106, 25[24 %] male, M age = 17.

Background: Air pollution has been linked to respiratory diseases, while the effects of greenness remain inconclusive.
Objective: We investigated the associations between exposure to particulate matter (PM and PM), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO), ozone (O), and greenness (normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI) with respiratory emergency room visits and hospitalizations across seven Northern European centers in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) study.
Methods: We used modified mixed-effects Poisson regression to analyze associations of exposure in 1990, 2000 and mean exposure 1990-2000 with respiratory outcomes recorded duing ECRHS phases II and III.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by pruritus and a relapsing course, affecting approximately 25% of children and 4-7% of adults. This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and quality-of-life impact of tralokinumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-13 (IL-13), in treating moderate-to-severe AD in a real-world setting, with a focus on different AD phenotypes.
Methods: An observational cohort of 30 adults treated with tralokinumab for ≥ 16 weeks was analyzed.

Purpose: Sleep quality contributes to the improvement of quality of life in cancer patients. However, sleep disturbances, of variable and heterogeneous etiologies, are common and frequently overlooked in lung cancer patients. The present study undertakes a rapid review of available peer-reviewed literature on sleep quality in lung cancer patients, specifically non-small-cell lung cancer patients.
