Summary: This article reviews the relationship between circadian rhythm disturbance and kidney stone disease (KSD), summarizing the risk factors and treatment methods. The results indicate that KSD is associated with systemic disorders such as metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and microbiome dysbiosis, and some chronotherapies have been proven effective.

Summary: A systematic review of metabolomics studies found that changes in lipid and amino acid metabolites accompanying sleep deprivation and/or circadian rhythms may indicate cellular membrane and protein breakdown underlying the connection between sleep disturbance, hyperlipidemia, and other metabolic disorders. However, the studies were limited in sample size and lacked generalizability.

Summary: Sleep patterns have a significant impact on women's reproductive function and clinical outcomes. Pathologic sleep patterns are closely linked to menstrual irregularity, infertility, and early pregnancy loss. Women who engage in shift work or experience sleep disruption or short sleep duration also have lower success rates with assisted reproductive technology. Sleep duration, quality, disordered breathing, and shift work are also associated with harmful conditions in pregnancy.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the prevalence of sleep disturbances during the COVID-19 pandemic. The estimated global prevalence of sleep disturbances was 40.49%, with the highest rates found among patients infected with COVID-19, children, and adolescents. Sleep disturbances were also more severe during lockdown periods.

Summary: The increasing availability and complexity of sleep and circadian data present both opportunities and challenges for the field. Improving data sharing and interoperability is crucial for advancing clinical research and requires collaboration and innovation between the sleep and informatics communities.

Summary: Aging leads to a reduction in brain microglial cells, disrupting the circadian rhythmicity of brain tissue, and microglial cells also play a role in sleep homeostasis and response to sleep loss.

Summary: Circadian rhythm disturbances, such as night shiftwork, insufficient sleep, and poor sleep quality, have been found to impair sperm quality and increase the risk of male infertility. However, there is a lack of research on the impacts of light, body temperature, and circadian/circannual rhythms. Understanding how circadian disturbances regulate male fertility is important for improving infertility.

Summary: Sleep is a crucial biological process for maintaining homeostasis and key functions in animals. Dysfunctional sleep can lead to negative effects on health and cognition. Cannabinoids have been found to play a role in sleep modulation, with cannabinoid receptors being involved in sleep promotion. The alteration of cannabinoid receptors could potentially be used in treating sleep disorders.

Summary: Sleep is critical for cognitive well-being and disruptions can lead to memory deficits, with cortisol levels potentially playing a role in this relationship. Patients with AD experience disrupted sleep and impaired memory due to consistent cortisol imbalances from glucocorticoid therapy, highlighting the importance of restoring a normal circadian rhythm. Future initiatives should focus on improving cognitive performance and quality of life for AD patients through prioritizing and optimizing sleep.

Summary: Nearly all living organisms have an internal circadian oscillation with a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. Misalignment between circadian rhythms and external environment can lead to circadian rhythm sleep disorders (CRSD), which have been found to be associated with adverse health consequences. Recent studies have made progress in understanding the genetic basis and pathological mechanisms of CRSD, particularly in advanced sleep-wake phase disorder (ASPD) and delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSPD).

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 or vaccination history and sleep and circadian patterns. The results showed that individuals with a history of COVID-19 had a later chronotype, and those who experienced vaccine-related side effects had poorer sleep quality. Therefore, COVID-19 and vaccine side effects have an impact on sleep and circadian patterns.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of prednisolone (PN) on sleep in zebrafish. The results showed that PN decreased melatonin secretion, shortened sleep time, and disrupted the internal circadian rhythm. The mechanism behind these effects involves the repression of certain genes via the glucocorticoid receptor, leading to a decrease in melatonin secretion and subsequent sleep disorders.

Summary: Aging is associated with changes in sleep, and improving sleep can have important consequences for the health and quality of life of older adults. Melatonin, especially at higher doses, may be a viable option for sleep aid in older adults, as it can increase sleep efficiency during both the day and night.

Summary: MCI is a clinically heterogeneous syndrome that can lead to further cognitive decline, but may also remain stable or resolve over time. Diagnostic criteria, including cognitive testing, neuroimaging, and fluid biomarkers, can improve accuracy of diagnosis and potentially guide prognosis. Large-scale studies are needed to determine the practical usefulness of combining multiple markers for clinical use.

Summary: The effects of COVID-19 on older people, especially those with dementia, are disproportionately negative, impacting health outcomes, care decisions, and leading to potential long-term neurological damage. Different responses to the pandemic from healthcare and social care systems in various countries highlight the need for specific attention to the presentation of the virus in older individuals and those with dementia, as well as the challenges of isolation and complex healthcare responses to minimize negative impacts. The identification of potential new working methods during the pandemic could offer a positive legacy from the crisis.
