This narrative review explores the relationship between allergic diseases and sleep disorders in children, highlighting the significant impact allergies have on pediatric sleep quality. Allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis are prevalent in children and are known to contribute to sleep disturbances. These disorders can lead to issues such as sleep fragmentation, obstructive sleep apnea, and excessive daytime sleepiness, which negatively affect cognitive function, behavior, and overall well-being. Studies from Saudi Arabia and other regions indicate a clear association between allergies and impaired sleep, with factors such as nasal congestion, wheezing, and itching playing key roles in disrupting sleep patterns. Treatment options, including pharmacological therapies, immunotherapy, and allergen avoidance strategies, aim to alleviate symptoms and improve sleep outcomes. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship and to develop more effective management strategies for children suffering from both allergic diseases and sleep disorders.

Purpose Of The Review: This review summarises high-level evidence for fan therapy and adds a commentary on the relatively-neglected question of how to optimise benefits based on qualitative evidence, clinical experience and broader research and theory.
Recent Findings: Recent high-level evidence suggests the fan reduces time to recovery from episodic breathlessness rather than reduces daily levels over a longer period. Lower grade evidence suggests the fan can also help people increase their physical activity.

Critically ill patients that require kidney replacement therapy (KRT) are among the most ill and complex patients routinely encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). Continuous KRT (CKRT) is used across many ICUs as the therapy of choice for hemodynamically unstable patients with kidney failure. Though existing trials have not shown superior survival or kidney recovery with CKRT relative to intermittent KRT, CKRT has largely become the standard of care in developed nations for the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with shock, acute brain injury, acute liver failure, and other forms of critical illness.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: This study aims to assess parents' willingness to modify behaviors associated with obesity risk upon a provider's recommendation in the first six months of life among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic families.
Method: Twenty parents completed a survey about their current infant feeding, sleep, and nutritional behaviors that guided a tailored semistructured interview.
Results: Barriers to parents' willingness to modify behaviors associated with obesity risk in infancy included prioritizing perception of infant hunger and relying on parental intuition.

Background: Previous studies indicated discrete lifestyle health metrics that benefit cardiovascular health are associated with better prognosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), while evidence regarding the comprehensive impact of cardiovascular health remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between the overall cardiovascular health indicator, Life's Essential 8 (LE8), and the adverse outcomes of IBD.
Materials And Methods: We included 3,232 IBD participants recruited from the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2010.

Objective: The study aims to assess the effect of Information, Motivation, Behavior Skills (IMB) model-based sleep counseling program on the quality of life and sleep quality in postmenopausal women with sleep problems.
Methods: The study design includes a randomized controlled experiment with pre-test and post-test control groups. The study was conducted with 175 postmenopausal women (IMB Group:85, control group:90) who visited Konyaalti Municipality Social Services Center between March 2018 and May 2019 and met the inclusion criteria for the research.
