Article Abstract
Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and poor sleep are common among people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) and may mediate the impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) seen in PWH and in people with MASLD. However, the prevalence and burden of poor sleep in PWH and MASLD is not well described.
Aim: To study the prevalence and multi-faceted relationship between MASLD, poor sleep, and HRQoL in PWH.
Methods: In this cross-sectional, observational study, adult PWH and no other known cause of liver disease underwent controlled attenuated parameter (for hepatic fat) and liver stiffness measurement vibration-controlled transient elastography at eight United States. centers (July 2021 to November 2024). Sleep quality was assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and HRQoL by Rand 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. Outcomes were compared using standard methods. Multivariate regression examined associations between sleep quality, HRQoL, and clinical factors.
Results: PWH ( = 1005) on suppressive antiretroviral therapy had mean age 55 years and were 65% non-White and 27% cisgender female; 77% had body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m, 44% had MASLD (controlled attenuated parameter ≥ 263 dB/minute), 13% liver fibrosis (liver stiffness measurement ≥ 8 kPa) and 64% poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5). The mean ± SD of PSQI was 6.6 ± 4.1, with no differences by MASLD status; MASLD + fibrosis was associated with poorer sleep. HRQoL was low (< 50) overall: A step-wise decline in physical component summary (PCS) scores was associated with worse liver disease, from no MASLD to MASLD + fibrosis. Among poor sleepers, a similar step-wise PCS worsening occurred. In multivariate analysis, MASLD + fibrosis was associated with lower PCS and poor sleep was associated with worse physical and mental HRQoL.
Conclusion: In this cohort of PWH, there was no association between MASLD and sleep quality. Poor sleep, MASLD and liver fibrosis were independently associated with poor HRQoL.

Background: Delirium is a prevalent and serious ICU complication, particularly in elderly or ventilated patients. Accurate assessment is crucial but often inconsistent. Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' use of the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) may be limited without structured training.

Purpose: To assess the effects of magnesium bisglycinate supplementation on insomnia symptoms in healthy adults reporting poor sleep quality.
Patients And Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 155 adults aged 18-65 years with self-reported poor sleep quality. Participants were randomly assigned to either magnesium bisglycinate supplementation (250 mg elemental magnesium, daily) or placebo capsules.
Night shift and occupational fatigue among nurses who work 12 hours in Jeddah.

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.

Background: Gender differences in COVID-19-related fear among mental health professionals (MHPs) have been inadequately studied. This study compared the gender differences in prevalence, correlates and network structure of COVID-19 fear among MHPs in China in the post-pandemic era.
Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted between January 22 and February 10, 2023.
