Summary: Chronic circadian disruption and insufficient sleep are independently associated with poor health outcomes. This study found that chronic circadian disruption was associated with decreased hunger and appetite, and these changes were correlated with changes in the ghrelin/leptin ratio.

Summary: This study assessed the efficacy of polychromatic short-wavelength-enriched light in improving vigilant attention, alertness, and mood after waking from slow-wave sleep at night. The results showed that participants exposed to the light had better performance in the tasks and reported higher alertness and improved mood. Future research should explore the mechanisms and real-world application of this intervention.

Summary: This study assessed the relationship between food intake, biochemical and anthropometrical markers in women with MetS. The results showed that the consumption of monounsaturated fats was positively correlated with blood sugar levels, while the consumption of fiber was negatively correlated with body mass and waist circumference.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of sleep quality, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and dietary consumption on metabolic syndrome (MetS)-related variables. The results show that women experiencing PMS have lower sleep quality, higher levels of depression and anxiety. Among these women, poor sleep quality is associated with higher waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure. Additionally, poor sleepers among women with PMS consume more alcoholic drinks. These findings suggest that sleep quality and dietary habits may modify the association between MetS-related variables and PMS in Korean women.

Summary: This paper presents an AI framework for personalized case-based ophthalmology residency training, using a deep learning model and an expert-system-powered case allocation algorithm. The deep learning model can classify retinal diseases from color fundus photographs and the diagnosis is passed to the case allocation algorithm to select the most suitable resident. This approach provides a structure for future precision medical education in ophthalmology.

Summary: The survey revealed that many early career adult and pediatric neurologists were dissatisfied with the psychiatry component of their residency training and felt underprepared for it. Suggestions for improvement included more outpatient experience, additional teaching time in psychiatry, and exposure to a wider range of psychiatric treatments and patient conditions likely to be encountered in neurology practice.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that sleep reactivity is associated with depressive symptoms, with sleep disturbance and emotion regulation difficulties playing a mediating role. Sleep reactivity may be an indicator of shiftwork adaptability in recruitment evaluation, and psychological interventions focused on developing healthy sleep habits and emotion regulation skills may help reduce the risk of depression.

Summary: This scoping review identified 29 studies covering 6 topics related to educational interventions in neurosurgery residency programs. While several educational interventions were supported by quantitative evidence, methodological shortcomings were common in the selection of meaningful outcome measures. Evidence-based considerations were provided for program directors in both current and future training programs.

Summary: This study aims to describe the sleep regularity of athletes using the Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) and investigate the effects of factors such as sex, competitive level, and sport type on their sleep/wake rhythm. The findings reveal that international level athletes, female athletes, and individual sport athletes have better sleep regularity.

Summary: Paralympic athletes tend to have poor sleep quality, exhibit poor sleep behavior, and sleep less than recommended. Insomnia symptoms, frequency of awakenings at night, movements during sleep, and poor sleep quality are associated with the occurrence and/or severity of health problems.

Summary: Cooling vests may not effectively attenuate the rise in core temperature in individuals with spinal cord injury, but they seem to be effective in controlling skin temperature and improving thermal comfort/sensation. Individuals with tetraplegia may benefit more, and the cooling vest may be more effective during strenuous exercises.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the relationships between serum-free fatty acids (FA), inflammatory processes, and depressive symptoms in obese adolescents. The results showed positive correlations between depressive symptoms and saturated fatty acids (SFA) content, body fat, and inflammatory adipokines. On the other hand, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) content was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms. However, further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the causality between dietary SFA and depression in obese individuals.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of an active warm-up and time-of-day variation on repeated-sprint performance and post-exercise recovery. The results showed that a warm-up improved sprint performance, and sprints performed in the late afternoon were better. Additionally, warm-up also led to faster post-exercise recovery.

Summary: This study evaluated the hormonal changes in athletes with cervical spinal cord injury during acute and chronic training. The results showed that testosterone concentrations decreased and cortisol concentrations increased during chronic training. On the other hand, cortisol decreased after acute training with reduced training load, indicating better recovery in athletes. It is suggested to assess hormones both acutely and long-term in athletes with cervical spinal cord injury to monitor anabolic/catabolic hormonal status during wheelchair rugby training.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the direct influence of training load on sleep behavior during the tapering phase of training for young swimmers. The results show that there is no significant influence of training load on sleep variables. However, a strong association between total sleep time (TST) and external load (EL) was observed in the irregular sleep group.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the variability of meal timing in rotating shift workers throughout a complete shift schedule and its effect on daily energy and macronutrient intake. The results showed that night shifts contribute to a longer eating window and higher energy and macronutrient intake compared to other shifts. This may reduce the fasting period during the night and have implications for metabolic dysregulation.

Summary: This review discusses the impact of eating behavior on the reduction of overnight fasting in shift workers and possible nutritional strategies involving fasting. Although the approach seems to be feasible and beneficial for shift workers, more research is needed to explore the potential risks and benefits and establish specific guidelines.

Summary: This review examines the methods used to assess external load in Paralympic sports, aiming to provide scientific evidence for multidisciplinary teams to prescribe and monitor athlete's development, enhance performance, and reduce injury/illness risks. The study identified 8 methods to quantify external load in 8 different Paralympic sports and highlights the need for further research to validate the effectiveness and reliability of these methods.

Summary: Intermittent fasting (IF) is commonly used by combat sports athletes for weight loss but may decrease performance. This study examined the effects of IF on body weight and Taekwondo performance. The results showed that IF led to a decrease in body weight in the first two weeks but stabilized afterwards. Performance in vertical jumping had different patterns in fed and fasted states. Despite the decrease in body weight, IF did not significantly impact performance.

Summary: This systematic review summarized randomized clinical trials comparing the postprandial glycemic and insulinemic response after eating carbohydrate meals in the morning versus at night. The results showed higher glycemic values in the evening compared to the morning, but no significant difference in insulin values.
