Article Abstract

Unlabelled: A 78-year-old man with history of chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids syndrome, moderate persistent asthma, pansinusitis, and upper airway cough syndrome presented to the sleep medicine clinic for evaluation of sleep-disordered breathing. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed lesions in the pons and midbrain. Diagnostic polysomnography was remarkable for central sleep apnea.

High morbidity and mortality associated with human β-coronavirus (CoV) infection highlight the need to determine host responses to infection and develop anti-viral therapies. Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC), particularly involving Connexin43 (Cx43), is vital for maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis, and disruption of GJIC is a well-documented pathogenic mechanism among β-coronaviruses. Specifically, murine β-coronavirus, mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-A59) inoculation in the mouse brain causes acute-stage CNS viral spread and chronic neuroinflammatory demyelination while causing pronounced downregulation of Cx43 at the acute stage, reflecting a critical role in CNS pathology.

Background: Taste and smell disorders are more common in individuals with diabetes, particularly among those with low insulin sensitivity or central obesity. These disorders may affect glycaemic control by altering dietary habits. This study aimed to investigate self-reported taste and smell dysfunction in individuals with diabetes and explore associations with clinical and behavioural factors.

Sleep paralysis, colloquially known as "ghost pressing" is a state of momentary bodily immobilization occurring either at the onset of sleep or upon awakening. It is characterized by atonia during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that continues into wakefulness, causing patients to become temporarily unable to talk or move but possessing full consciousness and awareness of their surroundings. Sleep paralysis is listed in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, 3rd Edition (ICSD-3) as a parasomnia occurring during REM sleep that be classified as either isolated or narcolepsy-associated.

Study Objectives: Dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) is the best-established marker of central circadian phase and may contribute to unraveling the role of the circadian system in obesity. This study evaluated DLMO among individuals with obesity using a home-based assessment and explored its clinical correlates and procedural variations.

Method: Fifty-eight women (mean [SD] age 40.
