9 ± 2.8 years; mean body mass index 37.9 ± 7.2 kg/m²; 78% male). Among those with POSA, 13 of 25 (52%) had mild OSA, 7 of 25 (28%) had moderate OSA, and 5 of 25 (20%) had severe OSA. No significant differences were found in age, sex, and anthropometric measures between POSA and non-POSA groups. Time spent in supine and nonsupine sleep did not differ significantly between groups. In children with obesity and OSA, POSA occurs frequently. Identifying POSA allows for potential targeted positional therapy for children with obesity.

This study tested the acceptability and efficacy of a perinatally delivered behavioral-educational sleep intervention. Participants were 40 primiparous women assigned in late pregnancy to either an intervention (n = 20) or control (n = 20) group. ZX703 clinical trial The sleep intervention group (SIG) received prenatal anticipatory education and guidance regarding their own and their infant's sleep during the first 3 months postpartum. This was reinforced during phone calls within the first 6 weeks postpartum. The control group (CG) received brief sleep hygiene information at a prenatal session, followed by 2 phone calls during the same period. Mother-infant pairs wore actigraphs for 48 hours at 6 and 12 weeks postpartum, and mothers kept sleep diaries. Questionnaires completed in late pregnancy and 6 and 12 weeks postpartum related to sleep, newborn care, and mood. The main outcome measures included maternal sleep quantity, efficiency, and self-reported quality and infant sleep duration and consolidation. Mothers reported high acceptability of the study processes. Sleep duration and quality increased for mothers and infants across time in both groups, with a significantly greater increase in nocturnal sleep duration for mothers in the SIG. Prenatal sleep guidance and postnatal follow-up seems to enhance nocturnal sleep of mothers, change their perceptions of their own sleep, and increase confidence in managing their infant's sleep. Follow-up at later intervals and replication with larger, more diverse samples may reveal further differences.

The primary objective was to describe trends in the 2-year limited duration prevalence of narcolepsy from 2013-2016 in a large insured population with claims activity. Secondary objectives were to assess the prevalence of other sleep disorders and the frequency of diagnostic sleep testing. Nationwide medical/prescription claims (Symphony Health) were analyzed to estimate the annual prevalence per 100,000 persons of narcolepsy and other sleep disorders (obstructive sleep apnea, idiopathic hypersomnia, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, periodic limb movement disorder) and the frequency of diagnostic sleep testing. Prevalence was adjusted to the age/sex distribution of the 2016 US census estimates. The prevalence of narcolepsy per 100,000 persons increased 14% from 38.9 in 2013 to 44.3 in 2016. Obstructive sleep apnea prevalence increased 41% over the study period from 2,429 to 3,420 per 100,000. Large increases in prevalence were also seen for idiopathic hypersomnia (32%), periodic limb movementese conditions. We aimed to evaluate the success of bladder neck injections of triamcinolone at the time of transurethral bladder neck incision (BNI) for prevention of recurrent vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) following prostate cancer treatment. This is a retrospective cohort study examining pa
