Article Abstract

Background: Sleep health comprises several dimensions such as sleep duration and fragmentation, circadian activity, and daytime behavior. Yet, most research has focused on individual sleep characteristics. Studies are needed to identify sleep/circadian profiles incorporating multiple dimensions and to assess their associations with adverse health outcomes.

Methods: This multicenter population-based cohort study identified 24 h actigraphy-based sleep/circadian profiles in 2667 men aged ≥65 years using an unsupervised machine learning approach and investigated their associations with dementia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence over 12 years.

Results: We identify three distinct profiles: active healthy sleepers (AHS; 64.0%), fragmented poor sleepers (FPS; 14.1%), and long and frequent nappers (LFN; 21.9%). Over the follow-up, compared to AHS, FPS exhibit increased risks of dementia and CVD events (HR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.02-1.78 and HR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.08-1.60, respectively) after multivariable adjustment, whereas LFN show a marginal association with increased CVD events risk (HR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.98-1.37) but not with dementia (HR = 1.09, 95%CI = 0.86-1.38).

Conclusions: These results highlight potential targets for sleep interventions and the need for more comprehensive screening of poor sleepers for adverse outcomes.

Background: Circumcision is a widely practiced procedure with cultural and medical significance. However, certain penile abnormalities-such as hypospadias or webbed penis-may contraindicate the procedure and require specialized care. In low-resource settings, limited access to pediatric urologists often leads to missed or delayed diagnoses.

The calculation of the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap for chemical molecules is computationally intensive using quantum mechanics (QM) methods, while experimental determination is often costly and time-consuming. Machine Learning (ML) offers a cost-effective and rapid alternative, enabling efficient predictions of HOMO-LUMO gap values across large data sets without the need for extensive QM computations or experiments. ML models facilitate the screening of diverse molecules, providing valuable insights into complex chemical spaces and integrating seamlessly into high-throughput workflows to prioritize candidates for experimental validation.

College of Medical Informatics, Chongqing Medical University, 1 Yixueyuan Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400016, China, 86 13500303273.

Background: Cirrhosis is a leading cause of noncancer deaths in gastrointestinal diseases, resulting in high hospitalization and readmission rates. Early identification of high-risk patients is vital for proactive interventions and improving health care outcomes. However, the quality and integrity of real-world electronic health records (EHRs) limit their utility in developing risk assessment tools.
