Article Abstract
Objective: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are widely recognized for their impact on an individual's prosocial behaviors. However, the specific relationship between ACEs and public service motivation (PSM)-a form of prosocial behavior within the public domain-remains insufficiently understood. Considering the crucial role PSM plays in psychological and social development, this study aimed to investigate the association between ACEs and PSM, with a particular focus on the mediating effect of sleep duration. Furthermore, in the context of urban-rural disparities in China, the present study will explore the moderating influence of urban-rural status on this relationship.
Method: This study used cross-sectional data from a 2023 nationwide survey conducted in China, involving 30,054 participants (female 50.1%). This study used modified Poisson regression with robust variance to examine the association between exposure to seven types of ACEs and the risk of low PSM. The study also explored the mediating role of sleep duration and the moderating role of urban-rural status in the relationship between ACEs and PSM.
Results: Exposure to all seven different types of ACE was significantly associated with an increased risk of low PSM. In addition, ACE scores negatively predicted PSM outcomes ( = -0.41, ≤ 0.001), and the effect of ACEs on PSM scores was mediated by sleep duration.
Conclusions: All seven types of ACEs increased the risk of low PSM to some extent. ACEs negatively predicted PSM indirectly through sleep duration, while urban-rural status moderated the relationships among ACEs, sleep duration, and PSM. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

Elinzanetant for the Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms Associated With Menopause: A Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Intern Med

Bayer CC AG, Basel, Switzerland.
Importance: There is an unmet need for long-term, safe, effective, and hormone-free treatments for menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and sleep disturbances.
Objective: To evaluate the 52-week efficacy and safety of elinzanetant, a dual neurokinin-targeted therapy, for treating moderate to severe VMS associated with menopause.
Design, Setting, And Participants: OASIS-3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 clinical trial that was conducted at 83 sites in North America and Europe from August 27, 2021, to February 12, 2024, and included postmenopausal women aged 40 to 65 years who were seeking treatment for moderate to severe VMS (no requirement for a minimum number of VMS events per week).
A Meta-Analysis of Bi-Directional Associations between Sleep Health and Substance Use among U.S. Youth: Racial/Ethnic Differences.

Purpose Of Review: This paper aimed to estimate pooled bi-directional associations between multidimensional sleep health and substance use among youth and investigate whether these associations differed as a function of race/ethnicity.
Recent Findings: Empirical observational studies providing quantitative data on the association of sleep health (duration [sleep obtained per 24 hours], satisfaction [subjective assessment of sleep], alertness [ability to maintain attentive wakefulness], and timing [placement of sleep]) and substance use (i.e.
Explainable Machine Learning Assists in Revealing Associations Between Polysomnographic Biomarkers and Incident Type 2 Diabetes in Men.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) shows bidirectional relationships with polysomnographic measures. However, no studies have searched systematically for novel polysomnographic biomarkers of T2D. We therefore investigated if state-of-the-art explainable machine learning (ML) models could identify new polysomnographic biomarkers predictive of incident T2D.

The ever-demanding job of nurses necessitates night shift work for 12 hours at various healthcare facilities to improve continuity of care. Working at night is associated with physical and mental stress as it disturbs circadian rhythm, affects sleep, influences dietary and eating routine, and impairs cognitive function. Nursing is a high-demand profession that requires working for longer hours, due to which, nurses are at increased risk of occupational fatigue.

Study Objectives: Research linking children's sleep to cognitive outcomes is inconsistent and has largely focused on one aspect of sleep, such as duration, rather than measuring multiple dimensions of sleep health. We hypothesized that children's sleep health would be positively associated with inhibitory control and cognitive functioning.
Method: We cross-sectionally assessed 1595 participants (ages 7-11) from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes cohort using the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery, Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Sleep Health of Children and Adolescents questionnaire, and Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance/Sleep-related Impairment instruments.
