Sleep quality and screen time among university professors: impact of emergency remote teaching amidst COVID-19 crisis
ConclusionThis study among university professors underscores the impact of screen time on sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants faced poor sleep, largely influenced by heightened screen time due to ERT. Considering these findings, this study emphasizes the importance of curbing daytime screen exposure and abstaining from screens in the evening, especially for university professors reliant on technology for their professional responsibilities.

Does obstructive sleep apnea –induced intermittent hypoxia increase the incidence of solitary pulmonary nodules, thyroid nodules, and other disorders? A retrospective study based on 750 cardiovascular disease patients
ConclusionsPatients combined with OSA may further develop more comorbidities, such as SPN, TN, and carotid-artery plaques. It may be related to intermittent hypoxia caused by OSA. (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Circadian misalignment proxies, BMI, and chronic conditions: the role for weekday to weekend sleep differences
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings, which demonstrate that even a slight weekend sleep extension and variability of just 1 h is associated with higher values of BMI, suggest incorporating measures for sleep consistency and regularity into clinical protocols and public health guidelines to prevent and treat obesity and related diseases.PMID:38625421 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03027-y (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Elevated periodic limb movement index is associated with hypoxemia in children with early onset scoliosis
CONCLUSION: The study suggests that children with early onset scoliosis have higher frequency of periodic limb movements during sleep, and these may be correlated with increased arousal and with hypoxemia.PMID:38625422 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03029-w (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

The CORE syndrome: an overlap of severe asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, rhinosinusitis, and esophageal reflux
CONCLUSION: Whenever facing SA patients, non-responders to therapy, it is important to suspect the presence of CORE syndrome; in particular, the detection and subsequent treatment of OSA would seem to improve the outcome of such patients.PMID:38627338 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03028-x (Source: Sleep and Breathing)
