Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of nasal septum deviation, without obstructive sleep apnea, on sleep quality.
Methods: The present case-controlled study enrolled patients older than 16 years with nasal septum deviation who attended the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic between December 2013 and July 2014. The control group was selected from patients attending the clinic for another complaint. Sleep quality was evaluated via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and differences between the groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: During the study period, 55 patients with nasal septum deviation were included in the study group, and the control group consisted of 51 patients with no complaints of nasal obstruction. Compared with the control group, patients with nasal septum deviation were found to be significantly higher (P <0.05) in all parameters of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
Conclusion: The presence of nasal septum deviation with nasal obstruction should be investigated in patients with sleep disorders. If any pathology is present, opening the nasal passages should be ensured and sleep disorders reevaluated.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) may experience epilepsy and challenges with movement, posture, cognition, and musculoskeletal development, which can impact their quality of life (QOL). In this study, we investigated the relationship between demographic and clinical variables as well as QOL in children with spastic CP.
Methods: Children aged 6 to 12 years with CP who were followed-up at our tertiary center were included in this cross-sectional study, regardless of the cause.

Background: Intractable paroxysmal sneezing is a rare and diagnostically challenging condition in children, often mimicking organic diseases. While it is often addressed as psychogenic in the literature, our case presented findings suggestive of a tic disorder, highlighting the need for a broader diagnostic perspective.
Case Presentation: An 11-year-old girl was referred to the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic with a one-year history of persistent and fluctuating sneezing episodes.

Gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTTs) encompass a spectrum of neoplastic conditions, including invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. Invasive mole, which frequently develops following a complete hydatidiform mole, represents the most common form. A cancer diagnosis constitutes a profoundly destabilizing experience, often resulting in considerable psychological distress.

Sleep deprivation (SD) is a major contributor to cognitive impairment, often accompanied by central neuroinflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The tryptophan (TRP) pathway, activated via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), serves as a critical link between immune activation and neuronal damage. Umbelliferone (UMB), a naturally occurring coumarin compound, possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating properties.

Importance: Sleep disturbances are common during and after the menopause transition, with potential effects on morbidity and quality of life; however, they may be underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Objective: We carried out a systematic literature review to investigate the prevalence and impact of sleep disturbances associated with menopause on women's health-related quality of life across the stages of menopause.
Evidence Review: Searches were conducted in PubMed and Excerpta Medica Database to identify articles published between 2013 and 2023 containing evidence for the impact of sleep quality on health-related quality of life and the epidemiology of sleep disturbances in women in menopause.
