Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of post-stroke depression (PSD) during the first year and its associated factors, especially focusing on sleep quality and fatigue severity.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among stroke patients in Vietnam's National Geriatric Hospital. Data were collected by using standardized questionnaires for interviewing and evaluating patients at the research site. Several covariables were presented including demographics, stroke-related characteristics, activities of daily living, post-stroke fatigue, and sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI] scale). PSD was assessed as an outcome variable through the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scale. To summarize sociodemographic and clinical variables, descriptive statistics were performed. A logistic regression model was used to explore the factors related to PSD.
Results: Of 157 patients with stroke, mean age 73.1 (± 9.6), PSD was present in 60 patients (38%). The global score and all PSQI components of participants with PSD showed worse levels than those without depression. Furthermore, the prevalence of PSD was higher in patients with low IADL scores and functional disability at high levels. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the patients with PSD showed higher Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) scores (OR = 4.11; 95% CI = 1.39; 12.19) and higher scores in two domains of the PSQI scale including subjective sleep quality (OR = 3.03; 95% CI = 1.21; 7.58) and sleep disturbance (OR = 5.22; 95% CI = 1.33; 20.47).
Conclusion: There is a significant prevalence of depression following stroke. Furthermore, post-stroke fatigue and two PSQI scale components (subjective sleep quality and sleep disturbance) were shown to be associated with PSD. This finding may guide early screening and intervention strategies to address depression following stroke.

Purpose: To compare the effects of cervical stabilization exercise training via telerehabilitation (CSET-T) in addition to standard treatment on pain, forward head posture, cervical mobility, muscle performance, functional status, sleep quality, and quality of life in individuals with migraine in comparison to the standard treatment alone.
Methods: The control group (n = 20) received standard treatment alone (medication+recommendations). The stabilization group (n = 20) was given CSET-T in addition to standard treatment 3 days a week for 8 weeks.

Sleep disorders encompass a range of diseases and symptoms that disrupt individual sleep patterns, degrade sleep quality, and diminish sleep efficiency. Currently, the mechanisms governing sleep regulation and the etiology of sleep disorders remain unclear, leading to clinical treatments that are primarily symptomatic due to the absence of precise intervention methods. Recent studies suggest that glymphatic-meningeal lymphatic route is responsible for the clearance of macromolecular metabolites from the brain, thus playing a pivotal role in maintaining sleep homeostasis and circadian rhythm.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an extremely common but underdiagnosed problem in adults receiving dialysis therapy. Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis have a higher prevalence of OSA compared to the general population (1-3). This condition carries significant clinical implications, contributing to impaired sleep quality, daytime fatigue, and elevated cardiovascular risk if left untreated (4,5).

Background: Fatigue is highly prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS) and contributes to disability and functional decline. While associations between physical fatigue and disability have been well characterized, how subjective cognitive fatigue and fatigability relates to disability in MS remains understudied.
Methods: People with MS (PwMS; N = 100) completed self-report measures to capture secondary disease characteristics (e.
