Article Abstract
Many of the same sleep problems seen in typically developing (TD) children are frequently experienced by children with epilepsy (CWE). Behavioural sleep interventions (BSIs) are commonly and successfully used to treat these sleep problems in TD children and in some neurodevelopmental disorder populations. Therefore, BSIs should be effective in CWE, however, there are special seizure-related considerations for CWE and their parents which may be salient to consider in any future BSI development for this group. The current study sought to identify, from parents, if there were special considerations for the content and delivery of an online BSI for parents of CWE. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine mothers of CWE and thematic analysis was conducted on the interview data. Ten themes were apparent which represented what parents wanted from any online BSI for CWE. Parents wanted (i) other parents' views and real-life experiences to be included, (ii) recognition of how changes over time may influence the appropriateness of using various sleep-management options, (iii) to be presented with a range of sleep management options from which they could select, (iv) personalised information and suggestions for behaviour-change options, (v) help to address child anxiety around sleep, (vi) for the advice and behaviour-change options to be practical, (vii) general educational information about sleep and the relationship between sleep and epilepsy, (viii) for parental worries and concerns to be acknowledged, (ix) to receive help, support, and reassurance around children's sleep; and (x) to include the child in the intervention. It was clear that any online BSI would require specific adaptations and additions (to content and delivery format) to best meet the needs of parents of CWE. It is hoped that having identified what parents want from on online BSI for CWE will allow these factors to be acknowledged in future intervention development, with the intention to optimise parental engagement and intervention effectiveness. Practical suggestions for how these aspects could be integrated into any online BSI are suggested.

Emotion (Dys)Regulation Mediates the Link between Psychological Distress and Problem Gambling: Evaluation of the Moderating effect of Gender.
Eur Addict Res

Department of Psychology and Center for Applied Neuroscience, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus.
Introduction: This study addresses the need to identify mechanisms leading to problem gambling, by examining the relationship between psychological distress, emotion regulation difficulties, and problem gambling severity, taking into consideration the potential moderating role of gender.
Method: We collected data from 350 regular gamblers in a Southern European country, via an online survey. We examined bivariate correlations, and gender differences in aspects of psychological distress and emotion regulation, as well as prediction of gambling problems by emotion regulation and distress.

Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) pose a persistent threat to hospitalized patients, particularly those who are immunocompromised and susceptible to infections caused by anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria. Alterations in gut microbiota composition can predispose individuals to intestinal domination by one or more pathobionts, increasing the risk of bacterial translocation into the bloodstream and subsequent bacteremia.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 20-year-old female with multiple relapsed/refractory Philadelphia-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, initially referred to our hematology center for CAR-T cell therapy.

Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, University of Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany.
Background: Characterized by uncertainty and recurring periods of social isolation, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increases of loneliness and distress in young adults, such as university students. Despite the lifting of the last restrictions in Germany in April 2023, the state of mental health in vulnerable groups after the three-year global crisis remains to be investigated. Therefore, we aimed to assess university students' mental health after the pandemic.

Background: Bloodstream Infection (BSI) is a severe systemic infectious disease that can lead to sepsis and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), resulting in high mortality rates and posing a major public health burden globally. Early identification of BSI is crucial for effective intervention, reducing mortality, and improving patient outcomes. However, existing diagnostic methods are flawed by low specificity, long detection times and high demands on testing platforms.
