Article Abstract
Background: As one of the key features of sleep, sleep duration (SD) has been confirmed to be associated with multiple health outcomes. However, the link between SD and cognitive function (CF) is still not well understood.
Methods: We employed a combined approach utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2011-2014) and Mendelian Randomization (MR) methods to investigate the relationship between SD and CF. In the NHANES cross-sectional analysis, the association between these variables was primarily examined through multivariate linear regression to explore direct correlations and utilized smoothing curve fitting to assess potential nonlinear relationships. To ensure the robustness of our findings, subgroup analyses were also conducted. MR analysis was used to assess the causal relationship between SD and sleeplessness on CF. After excluding confounding factors, univariate and multivariate MR were performed using inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the main analysis method, and sensitivity analysis was performed.
Results: The results of our cross-sectional study indicate a notable negative association between SD and CF, forming an inverted U-shaped curve with the inflection point occurring at SD = 6 h. This relationship remains consistent and robust across subgroup analyses differentiated by variables such as age, levels of physical activity, and frequency of alcohol intake. In MR analysis, IVW analysis showed no causal relationship between SD and sleeplessness on CF (Both P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Cross-sectional studies suggest the existence of an inverted U-shaped correlation between SD and CF among the elderly. However, MR analysis did not reveal a causal relationship between SD and CF, which the lack of nonlinear MR analysis may limit. These findings provide evidence from a sleep perspective for optimizing cognitive strategies in older adults.

Driven by eutrophication and global warming, the occurrence and frequency of harmful cyanobacteria blooms (CyanoHABs) are increasing worldwide, posing a serious threat to human health and biodiversity. Early warning enables precautional control measures of CyanoHABs within water bodies and in water works, and it becomes operational with high frequency in situ data (HFISD) of water quality and forecasting models by machine learning (ML). However, the acceptance of early warning systems by end-users relies significantly on the interpretability and generalizability of underlying models, and their operability.

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: Delirium in patients with ulcerative colitis may be seen, especially in the elderly and in patients hospitalized for a long time. In children, Wernicke's encephalopathy may occur due to thiamine deficiency in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. We present a patient with ulcerative colitis who presented with delirium as the first symptom, did not respond to steroid treatment and improved with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha treatment.

Objective: To evaluate depression in postmenopausal women and to explore the relationship between age at menopause, hormone therapy, and depression, while also identifying potential mediators that may explain these associations.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2005-2020) for women older than 60 years who completed the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) depression questionnaire (n=7,027). Exposures included age at menopause and self-reported hormone therapy; the outcome was depression severity (PHQ-9 ≥10).
Pre-Donation Cardiac Arrest and Liver Transplantation Outcomes: Implications for Ischemic Preconditioning.

Background: Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and some cancers. The use of livers from donors following pre-donation cardiac arrest (PDCA), especially with prolonged downtime duration, has been limited outside of the US due to fears over inferior outcomes from ischemic injury. However, PDCA may induce ischemic preconditioning, paradoxically improving post-transplant outcomes.
