Objective: Bad dreams and nightmares can have a strong psychological impact. However, although the scientific literature points in the direction of an established association between nightmares and psychopathology, many of the studies investigating these links have been carried out on a general population. This systematic literature review aimed to identify studies that have used a sample from a population with a diagnosis of psychopathological disorders or a diagnosis of nightmare disorder, to highlight the state of knowledge concerning the link between bad dreams, nightmares, and psychopathology.
Method: The systematic review included all cross-sectional and longitudinal studies conducted on a psychiatric population in which variables related to bad dreams and/or nightmares were examined and published since 2014. The search was conducted in May 2024 in the PsychINFO and PubMed databases.
Results: A total of 34 studies published over the last decade met the inclusion criteria.
Conclusions: Psychiatric populations are significantly more affected by nightmares and bad dreams than the general population. Furthermore, the presence of nightmares tends to maximize the clinical symptomatology of patients. However, there are still too few studies available to understand the basis of this relationship.

CD99 contributes to the EWS::FLI1 transcriptome by specifically affecting FOXM1-targets involved in the G2/M cell cycle phase, thus influencing the Ewing sarcoma genetic landscape.

Ewing sarcoma (EwS), a highly aggressive malignancy affecting children and young adults, is primarily driven by a distinctive oncogenic fusion, the EWSR1-ETS, whose activity is a key source of epigenetic and clinical heterogeneity. CD99 is constantly present in EwS cells, known to modulate the EwS genetic profile and tumor malignancy. However, the relevance of CD99 alone, or in association with EWSR1-ETS chimeras, is poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- The BIOMAG-I study evaluated the first-in-human resorbable magnesium scaffold (DREAMS 3G) and showed positive outcomes for clinical results and late lumen loss after 12 months.
- The current substudy looked into vascular healing parameters using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), focusing on aspects like strut visibility and neointimal growth.
- Results from 56 patients indicated that almost all scaffold struts became invisible by 12 months, with a favorable vascular healing response, including a significant decrease in protruding neointimal tissue.
How to Use Continuous Glucose Monitoring Efficiently in Diabetes Management: Opinions and Recommendations by German Experts on the Status and Open Questions.

Today, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a standard diagnostic option for patients with diabetes, at least for those with type 1 diabetes and those with type 2 diabetes on insulin therapy, according to international guidelines. The switch from spot capillary blood glucose measurement to CGM was driven by the extensive and immediate support and facilitation of diabetes management CGM offers. In patients not using insulin, the benefits of CGM are not so well studied/obvious.

Introduction: In diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, obtaining a good night's sleep is crucial for maintaining body caloric intake, controlling insulin levels, and reducing the likelihood of engaging in unhealthy behavior. Patients with poor sleep quality may experience impaired glycemia, playing a significant role in the development of chronic complications. This study aims to explore the effects of DM complications on sleep quality among Saudi Arabian patients.
