: In Portugal, evidence regarding the mental health of institutionalized older people is limited, leaving this area poorly described and the mental health needs of this population largely unknown. This research aims to describe the mental health of older persons residing in nursing homes in Northern Portugal. : A cross-sectional study will be conducted.

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease affecting multiple organ systems and poses a diagnostic challenge due to its diverse clinical manifestations and absence of specific diagnostic tests. Currently, blood biomarkers such as ACE, sIL-2R, CD163, CCL18, serum amyloid A, and CRP are employed to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of sarcoidosis. Metabolomics holds promise for identifying highly sensitive and specific biomarkers.

Studying sleep stages is crucial for understanding sleep architecture, which can help identify various health conditions, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and neurodegenerative diseases, allowing for better diagnosis and treatment interventions. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of generalized weighted permutation entropy (GWPE) in distinguishing between different sleep stages from EEG signals. Using classification algorithms, we evaluate feature sets derived from both standard permutation entropy (PE) and GWPE to determine which set performs better in classifying sleep stages, demonstrating that GWPE significantly enhances sleep stage differentiation, particularly in identifying the transition between N1 and REM sleep.

The interaction between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and sleep deprivation has recently gained attention in the scientific literature, and recent advances suggest that AD epidemiology management should coincide with the management of sleeping disorders. This review focuses on the aspects of the mechanisms underlying the link between AD and insufficient sleep with progressing age. We also provide information which could serve as evidence for future treatments of AD from the early stages in connection with sleep disorder medication.
