Circadian timing, melatonin and hippocampal volume in later-life adults
This study aimed to examine how dim light melatonin onset and melatonin levels are associated with hippocampal volume in cognitively healthy individuals. We studied data from 52 later-life adults (mean age ± SD = 70.0 ± 6.3 years). T1-weighted anatomical images from 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging data were collected and processed using the BRAINSTools toolbox. Dim light melatonin onset was used to assess circadian timing. The area under the curve was calculated to quantify melatonin concentration levels 6 hr before bedtime, and 14-day wrist actigraphy data were used to assess habitual bedtime. Multiple linear regressio...

The screening and management of sleep disturbances in people living with HIV: Delphi consensus
J Sleep Res. 2023 Nov 8:e14070. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14070. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleep disturbances in people living with HIV (PLHIV) are frequent but their management remains insufficient. In the absence of specific recommendations, a DELPHI consensus research project was conducted in France to establish best practice. A multidisciplinary Steering Committee (STC) undertook a literature review and used it with clinical expertise to create statements that were voted on. Two profiles of healthcare professionals with significant experience in monitoring PLHIV were selected for the voting: physicians and nurses/psychologi...

The effects of ketogenic dietary therapies on sleep: A scoping review
J Sleep Res. 2023 Nov 6:e14073. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14073. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleep problems are common in neurological conditions for which ketogenic dietary therapies (KDTs) are recognised as an effective intervention (drug-resistant epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, and migraine). Given the composite framework of action of ketogenic dietary therapies, the prevalence of sleep disturbance, and the importance of sleep regulation, the present scoping review aimed at identifying and mapping available evidence of the effects of ketogenic dietary therapies on sleep. A comprehensive web-based literature search was per...

Daytime symptom trajectories among adults with stable heart failure and insomnia: evidence from a randomised controlled trial of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia
In this study we describe: (1) daytime symptom trajectories among adults with insomnia and stable HF over 1 year, (2) how symptom trajectories differ between CBT-I versus HF self-management interventions, and (3) associations between demographic, clinical, and sleep characteristics, perceived stress, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), functional performance and daytime symptoms trajectories. We retrospectively analysed data from a randomised controlled trial of CBT-I versus HF self-management (NCT0266038). We measured sleep, perceived stress, HRQoL, and functional performance at baseline and symptoms at baseline, 3, 6...
