Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of palmitoylethanolamide in the management of diabetic neuropathic pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Prado MB, Nisce NRB, Cayanong EJB and Adiao KJB
Despite a substantial body of evidence supporting the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) in chronic neuropathic pain (CNP), there is an absence of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) specifically evaluating its efficacy in diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) and distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSPN).

Impact of increased educational screen exposure on adolescent overweight and the mediating role of physical activity and sleep quality: a natural experiment study from China
Li J, Wu T, Song F, Li S, Wang W, Zhang Q and Peng X
Globally, increasing numbers of adolescents use digital devices for learning, and this educational screen exposure may alter behavioral patterns and be associated with the rising prevalence of adolescent overweight. Limited research has examined the interrelationships among educational screen exposure, adolescent overweight, physical activity, and sleep quality. This study aims to assess the impact of educational screen exposure on adolescent overweight prevalence and to identify related mediating risk behaviors.

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a spectrum of autoimmune disorders manifesting by epilepsy, loss of consciousness, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Anti-recoverin antibodies are intracellular antibodies and a well-known marker of paraneoplastic retinopathy. However, they have rarely been associated with neurological and psychiatric diseases with or without cancer. To date, there have been only a few identified cases of anti-recoverin antibody-associated limbic AE.

Abdominal pain is a cardinal symptom of pancreatitis, present in up to 90% of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Increases in pain severity and constancy are associated with significant morbidity including depression and anxiety symptoms, low physical functioning, sleep disturbance, and low quality of life, as well as high economic and societal burden. Our pilot study of digital cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) demonstrated preliminary efficacy in improving pain and disability in adults with recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis pain. Building on these promising findings, this hybrid effectiveness-implementation clinical trial seeks to test the effectiveness of digital CBT in a large sample and to gather data on future implementation of this scalable intervention.

Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleeping disorder characterized by recurring episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep. The relationship between OSA and psychiatric disorders, particularly depression and anxiety, has gained significant attention due to their frequent co-occurrence and bidirectional relationship. In this study, we assessed the risk of OSA among patients with psychiatric disorders and evaluated associated factors such as sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in the Saudi population. Methods This is a cross-sectional study that included patients with a confirmed diagnosis of major depressive and generalized anxiety disorders at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Participants were interviewed in person and asked to fill out a survey that contains participants' demographical data, validated Arabic versions of the Snoring, Tiredness, Observed apnea, high blood Pressure, BMI, Age, Neck circumference, Gender (STOP-BANG) questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Data was analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results A total of 183 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder and/or generalized anxiety disorder were included. The study revealed that 27.9% (n=51) of participants were at high risk for OSA, scoring >3 on the STOP-BANG scale, with no significant difference between anxiety and depression diagnoses (p-value=0.737). Poor sleep quality was prevalent, with 73.2% (n=134) of participants scoring >5 on the PSQI scale. The median PSQI score was 8 (interquartile range (IQR)=5.00, 11.00), indicating poor overall sleep quality, with sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, and daytime dysfunction components showing particular impairment. Anxiety patients demonstrated significantly higher daytime sleepiness compared to those with depression (p=0.041). In addition, we observed moderate to severe anxiety and depression in 26.8% (n=49) and 29% (n=53) of participants, respectively, highlighting a substantial psychiatric burden. Conclusion This study emphasizes the high prevalence of OSA risk and poor sleep quality among patients with psychiatric disorders. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive sleep evaluations in psychiatric populations and emphasize the importance of integrating sleep assessments into routine psychiatric care. Because of the complex bidirectional relationship between OSA and psychiatric disorders, tackling both conditions concurrently is crucial in clinical practice.

The preoperative period is challenging in children due to increased anxiety. Preoperative anxiety results in increased postoperative pain, insomnia, nausea, fatigue, and reduced effectiveness of anesthesia and analgesia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the efficacy of a play therapy intervention versus standard pharmacological premedication in reducing preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty.
