Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its combined indices serve as markers of insulin resistance, but their associations with sleep disorders remain unclear. This study examines the links between the TyG index, its combined indices, and sleep disorders while assessing the mediating role of depressive symptoms.
Methods: Using data from NHANES (n = 17,538, USA) and CHARLS (n = 7758, China), we conducted cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. Associations between TyG-related indices and sleep disorders were assessed using logistic and linear regression models. Mediation analysis evaluated the indirect effects of depressive symptoms.
Results: Higher TyG index levels were significantly associated with sleep disorders (NHANES adjusted OR: 1.127, 95 % CI: 1.051-1.209; CHARLS adjusted OR: 1.54, 95 % CI: 1.00-1.80, P < 0.001). Gender-stratified analyses showed a stronger association with depressive symptoms in females. Mediation analysis revealed that depressive symptoms accounted for 68.91 % (NHANES) and 21.33 % (CHARLS) of the TyG-sleep disorder relationship. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis showed TyG outperformed the triglyceride-glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI) and the triglyceride-glucose waist circumference (TyG-WC) in CHARLS (AUC = 0.62).
Conclusions: Metabolic dysfunction, shown by the TyG index, links to sleep disorders. Depressive symptoms partly explain this connection. These results highlight the importance of addressing both metabolic and mental health to improve sleep. More research is needed to understand the causes and find effective treatments.

Introduction: Cognitive frailty (CF), which typically precedes dementia and functional decline, serves as a more robust predictor of adverse health outcomes compared to physical frailty alone, representing a critical challenge in promoting healthy aging among older people living with HIV (PLWH) aged ≥ 50 years. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cognitive frailty and identify its associated factors among PLWH aged ≥ 50 years.
Methods: A convenience sample of 344 PLWH ≥ 50 years was recruited from a tertiary Grade A hospital in Zunyi, China.

Introduction: It is well known that Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a complex disease characterized by an Upper Airway (UA) collapse during sleep, with potential consequences on ENT districts. Recent evidence suggests a possible association with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). However, the potential effects of both surgical and non-surgical therapeutic strategies on ET function remain poorly explored in the current literature.

Rationale: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are used to identify genetic variants for association with schizophrenia (SCZ) risk; however, each GWAS can only reveal a small fraction of this association.
Objectives: This study systematically analyzed multiple GWAS data sets to identify gene subnetwork and pathways associated with SCZ.
Methods: We identified gene subnetwork using dmGWAS program by combining SCZ GWASs and a human interaction network, performed gene-set analysis to test the association of gene subnetwork with clinical symptom scores and disease state, meanwhile, conducted spatiotemporal and tissue-specific expression patterns and cell-type-specific analysis of genes in the subnetwork.

Introduction: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) represents a major public health issue that produces far-reaching physiological effects. AUD is an underappreciated, yet critical risk factor clinicians need to be aware of and screen for to integrate preventive and therapeutic strategies when dealing with pneumonia in this vulnerable population. This research paper investigates the link between AUD and pneumonia by examining both the elevated risk of lung infection and the intensified disease severity.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of having a history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) on postoperative outcomes.
Background: With an aging population and rates of obesity increasing, comorbidities that influence patient safety are increasingly common.
