Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between calcium intake and mortality risk. The findings suggested that moderate intake of total and dietary calcium were inversely associated with mortality risk, while supplemental calcium intake showed no significant association. Nonlinear relationships were observed between calcium intake and all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality risk.

Summary: There is considerable controversy regarding the association between milk and dairy consumption and mortality risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that high-fat milk consumption was significantly associated with a higher risk of all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality. However, total dairy consumption was associated with a lower risk of CVD mortality.

Summary: The study found that higher dietary magnesium intake was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and cancer mortality, but not CVD mortality. There were no significant associations between supplemental and total magnesium intakes with the risk of mortality. Linear dose-response analysis revealed that each additional intake of 100 mg/d of dietary magnesium was linked to a decreased risk of all-cause and cancer mortality.

Summary: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the association between wine consumption and cardiovascular mortality, CVD, and CHD, and analyze the influence of personal and study factors. A total of 25 studies were included in the review, and the meta-analysis showed that wine consumption was inversely associated with the risk of CHD (RR=0.76), CVD (RR=0.83) and cardiovascular mortality (RR=0.73). Age, female proportion, and follow-up time did not affect this association. However, caution is needed when interpreting these findings as increasing wine intake may be harmful to certain individuals.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The results showed that OSA is considered a cardiovascular risk factor, with a significant relationship between the severity of OSA and the risk of CVD. Patients with OSA have increased risk of heart attack, CHD, and mortality from cardiovascular disease.

Summary: The study aimed to update the evidence-base of long-term noise exposures from road, rail, and aircraft traffic on non-accidental and cardiovascular mortality. The majority of the analyses showed that the impact of traffic noise on mortality is not strong, but there is a certain association between road traffic noise and cardiovascular disease mortality. More high-quality longitudinal studies are needed to better characterize the effects of traffic noise on mortality.

Summary: High selenium levels in the body are associated with decreased risk of CVD incidence and mortality. There is a 15% reduction in CVD risk for every 10 μg increase in blood selenium concentration. However, caution should be exercised regarding potential harmful effects of excessive selenium intake.

Summary: The study found a relationship between chronic exposure to mercury and cardiovascular diseases, including nonfatal ischemic heart disease and various causes of mortality, but not stroke. Different study types and exposure levels may affect the heterogeneity of study results. A hair mercury concentration of 2 μg/g was identified as a key point where cardiovascular disease risks start to increase.

Summary: The consumption of oats may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and all-cause mortality. However, there is no significant association between oat consumption and cardiovascular disease. Future studies should focus on standardizing methods for assessing oat intake and investigating the dose-dependent response of oat products on cardiometabolic outcomes.

Summary: This study investigates the association between circulating lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and risk of mortality in the general population and in patients with chronic diseases. The results indicate that higher levels of Lp(a) are associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. The study suggests that measuring Lp(a) levels at least once in each adult person's lifetime may be beneficial in identifying individuals at higher risk of mortality.

Summary: The study found that levodopa alone therapy may be superior in motor symptom relief for early Parkinson's disease patients compared to levodopa-sparing therapy, and the motor advantage of levodopa alone may increase over time. Levodopa alone therapy may increase the risk of wearing-off and dyskinesia, but the events between the two groups may not be different in the long term.

Summary: Inconsistent findings were discovered in studies investigating the connection between dietary selenium and sleep. Data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey were used, including 17,176 participants aged 20 and over from 2004 to 2011. Sleep duration was measured through face-to-face interviews in 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2011, while dietary selenium consumption was tracked using a 3-day, 24-hour recall. The analysis revealed a significant association between selenium intake and optimal sleep duration.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the acquisition behaviours for nutrition-related information of older adults in a long-term care facility. A qualitative descriptive design was used and data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The results showed that acquisition behaviours were influenced by individual characteristics and external physical environment factors. Access to nutritional information can help older adults cultivate a healthy diet, but they still encountered difficulties. Healthcare providers in long-term care facilities should provide appropriate nutritional information interventions based on the actual care needs of the older people to improve their ability to acquire information independently.

Summary: This study examines decision-making impairments in individuals with central disorders of hypersomnolence (CDH), specifically narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). The results suggest that both NT1 and other CDH patients have decreased learning abilities to avoid losses, which is associated with alterations in vigilance. The study provides new insights into the nature of decision-making impairments in CDH and suggests the potential for minimizing these alterations by restoring adequate vigilance.

Using data from a randomized clinical trial, the model helps identify patterns of treatment progression and their association with baseline insomnia severity. The model holds potential for further research on various CBT-I processes that are currently not fully understood.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the influence of gut microbiota on sleep physiology. The gut microbiota affects the central nervous system and circadian rhythms, and can be associated with sleep disorders. This study observed the gut microbiota composition of patients with different types of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, and found changes in beta diversity in these patient groups compared to healthy controls. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, the differences were no longer statistically significant. The study suggests that using metabolomics and proteomics approaches to study the role of microbiota in sleep disorders may be beneficial.

Summary: This study aims to investigate pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) phenotypes and their prognostic implications by clustering overnight cardiorespiratory signals in PAH patients. Three distinct clusters were identified, with patients in Cluster 3 exhibiting worse clinical outcomes. The presence of nocturnal hypoxemia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in PAH patients was associated with increased risk of clinical worsening. Tailored management strategies addressing both PAH and nocturnal hypoxemia may improve clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term impact of dopamine agonist treatment on altered central sensory processing in restless legs syndrome (RLS) patients. The results showed that dopamine agonist treatment effectively reduced RLS symptoms but did not reverse the altered central sensory processing observed on testing. These findings suggest that RLS pathophysiology is multifactorial and not solely driven by dopaminergic dysfunction.
