Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often suffer from a combination of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and a significant reduction in their quality of life. In the exercise programme of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), pulmonary rehabilitation intervention is often carried out by enhancing respiratory function. Strong abdominal breathing is a kind of breathing method, through which the diaphragm can be exercised, thereby enhancing the deflection distance of the diaphragm during breathing and improving respiratory function. The inversion trainer can meet the different angles of head-down training and also has the characteristics of low cost, easy to operate, and use a wide range of scenarios. According to currently available data, strong abdominal breathing in combination with head-down position has not yet been used in pulmonary rehabilitation in this type of rehabilitation programme. It is valuable to use this device to study PR of cognitive function in patients with COPD. METHODS This study was a 12-week single-centre randomised controlled trial and blinding the assessors and data processors of the test. Recruitment is planned for January 1, 2024. It is expected that 81 patients with stable COPD combined with MCI will be recruited and randomly assigned to the head-down strong abdominal breathing group (HG), the fitness qigong eight-duanjin group (BDJ), and the control group (CG) in a 1:1:1 ratio. Using fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) to assess brain oxygen availability before and after pulmonary rehabilitation in three periods: before, during and after the intervention. Cognitive functioning is also assessed using the Overall Cognitive Assessment Scale, the Specific Cognitive Functioning Assessment Scale and the Cognitive Behavioural Ability Test. TRIAL REGISTRATION The Specialised Committee on Scientific Research and Academic Ethics of the Academic Committee of Anqing Normal University approved the project (ANU2023001). China Clinical Trial Registry approved the study (ChiCTR2300075400) with a registration date of 2023/09/04. DISCUSSION The aim of this study was to explore novel exercise rehabilitation methods to improve cognitive function in COPD patients. It results in a lower financial burden and higher participation in pulmonary rehabilitation and improves the quality of survival of patients with COPD.

Spanish validation of the simple lifestyle indicator questionnaire: validity and reliability analysis. Front Public Health 2024; 11:1146010. [PMID: 38264245 PMCID: PMC10803412 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1146010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction It has been shown that lifestyle is a highly modifiable determinant having a direct effect on the health status. Therefore, short and simple questionnaires assessing the lifestyle of the general and clinical population are needed to create interventions on behavioral aspects that can improve the health status. The Simple Lifestyle Indicator Questionnaire (SLIQ) is a validated health scale in English that combines five lifestyle factors: diet, exercise, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and stress level. The objective of this study was to validate the SLIQ questionnaire in Spanish by analyzing the scale's validity and reliability. Its discriminatory power of the scale was also examined by evaluating the differences in health outcomes according to the levels of adherence to a healthy lifestyle. Methods The sample consisted of 745 participants with an average age of 39.94 (SD: 16.99). A transcultural adaptation process was carried out to validate the SLIQ questionnaire in the Spanish context, to determinate the structural equivalence of the Spanish version as compared to the English version, and to assess the psychometric properties of the scale. PREDIMED and IPAQ scales were used to analyze the convergent validity of the Spanish version of the SLIQ regarding to diet and exercise, and the questionnaires SF-12 and DASS-21 questionnaires were used to assess the capacity of the Spanish version of the SLIQ to discriminate health status related to different levels of reported lifestyles. Results Regarding validity, the results indicate significant correlations between the different dimensions of the SLIQ questionnaire and those used as a reference. As for reliability, the test-retest analyses reveal a high temporal consistency for the scores obtained on the questionnaire. Finally, the differences found in anxiety, depression, and quality of life, with regard to the different levels of adherence in the SLIQ questionnaire, suggest that the questionnaire's Spanish version has adequate discriminatory power. Discussion The obtained correlation coefficients between the SLIQ and the other standardized measures pointed out the adequate convergent validity of the instrument. Moreover, the test-retest results demonstrated the stability of the results obtained through this questionnaire. Finally, the lifestyle categories derived from the SLIQ showed a high ability to discriminate between participants' health profiles. Hence, it can be concluded that the Spanish version of the SLIQ questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for the quick and effective assessment of lifestyle.

Higher Lifetime Stress and Symptom Burden Contribute to the Occurrence of Shortness of Breath. Semin Oncol Nurs 2023; 39:151471. [PMID: 37500312 DOI: 10.1016/j.soncn.2023.151471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Among four classes of patients with distinct shortness of breath profiles, evaluate for differences in levels of global, cancer-specific, and cumulative life stress, as well as resilience; evaluate for differences in the occurrence rates for various stressful life events, and evaluate for differences in the severity of common co-occurring symptoms. DATA SOURCES Outpatients (N = 1338) completed questionnaires six times over two cycles of chemotherapy. The occurrence of shortness of breath was assessed using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale. Latent class analysis was used to identify subgroups of patients with distinct shortness of breath profiles. Differences among the classes were evaluated using parametric and nonparametric tests. CONCLUSION Shortness of breath classes were labeled based on their distinct occurrence trajectories: None (70.5%), Decreasing (8.2%), Increasing (7.8%), and High (13.5%). Compared to None class, Decreasing and High classes had higher global and cancer-specific stress scores. The High class reported higher occurrence rates for several adverse childhood experiences. Compared to None class, Decreasing and High classes had higher depression, anxiety, and morning fatigue scores and lower morning energy and cognitive function scores. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Given the additive or synergistic relationships between stress, co-occurring symptoms, and shortness of breath, multimodal interventions that include stress management, exercise training, and/or symptom management may decrease shortness of breath in oncology patients.

J Family Med Prim Care 2023; 12:1908-1916. [PMID: 38024914 PMCID: PMC10657069 DOI: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_2425_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Pruritus is a frequent complaint associated with various inflammatory dermatoses. Sleep is often disturbed because of pruritus but the impact of severity and diurnal pattern of pruritus has not been studied so far. Objectives To estimate the prevalence of nocturnal itch (NI) and its association with itch severity, sleep disturbance and quality of life (QoL) compared with non-NI in chronic plaque psoriasis (CPP) and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in patients aged ≥18 years with CPP or CSU for at least 6 weeks. A comprehensive in-house questionnaire designed for study formed the basis for categorizing patients into NI and non-NI. Validated instruments like visual analog scale, pruritus grading system, General Sleep Disturbance Scale, and Dermatology life quality index were used to assess itch severity, sleep, and QoL. Results A total of 255 patients (CPP: 131; CSU: 124) were included in this study. Prevalence of NI was 43.5% (95% confidence interval: 34.9%-52.4%) in CPP and 29% (95% confidence interval: 21.2%-37.9%) in CSU. NI was strongly associated with higher pruritus grading system scores in CSU and CPP (regression coefficient = 1.5, P =0.004 and regression coefficient = 1.3, P =0.004, respectively), with impaired sleep (OR = 2.97, P = 0.025) in CPP and with itch-affected sleep in CSU. Itch severity was associated with impaired sleep; however, the association was modified by the presence of NI in CSU patients. Conclusion Nocturnal itch is prevalent in chronic dermatoses and significant for sleep deficit and impaired QoL. Early screening and management of sleep disturbance among patients presenting with nocturnal itch should be routinely undertaken.

Abstract
Background It is well established that a wide range of psychological disorders are influenced by the way people live, with lifestyle-related factors playing a substantial role. During the past decade, the effects of major disasters on mental health have drawn a lot of attention. Aim In this review, we compare clinical studies reporting a link between COVID-19 and other pandemics and mental health. Importantly, we also shed light on Tau protein and neurotransmitters as neurobiological factors that might explain this link. Methods A thorough PubMed search was done to gather and summarize published data on the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on mental health. Additionally, these studies were compared to previous research published on PubMed, triggering other pandemic and epidemic impacts on mental health. Results The COVID-19 epidemic has had the biggest impact on raising awareness about mental health. Moreover, the past century has seen an increase in the frequency of disease outbreaks like MERS-CoV, Ebola, and Influenza, which all had an impact on mental health. However, the exact role of these epidemics on mental health and brain functions is poorly understood. Conclusion Future research on the underlying pathways may yield essential information for the treatment and prevention of prospective mental diseases in light of the ongoing decline in mental health during the past 10 years.

Abstract
The COVID-19 spread rapidly all over the world and pandemic process has negatively affected nurses. Sleep disorders and depression are among these negative effects. Managers' awareness of problems experienced by nurses and taking precautions will increase employee and patient satisfaction and provide quality patient care. The study was conducted in descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational design to explain nurses' sleep quality and depression levels and relationship between them during the COVID-19 pandemic with 142 nurses who completed Personel Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Beck Depression Index (BDI). Sleep quality of nurses (64.8%) was poor, 33.1% had depression, and high school education, having a chronic illness and PSQI score increased the risk of depression level of nurses. Results highlight COVID-19 pandemic affected nurses' sleep quality and depression levels. All managers should be pioneers in providing psychological support to nurses and preparing and implementing a program for prevention of insomnia and depression.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a state of reduced oxygen supply and excessive oxygen consumption. According to the duration of hypoxic period, it can be classified as acute and chronic hypoxia. Both acute and chronic hypoxia could induce abundant neurological deficits. Although there have been significant advances in the pathophysiological injuries, few studies have focused on the cognitive dysfunction. In this review, we focused on the clinical evidences and molecular mechanisms of cognitive impairment under acute and chronic hypoxia. Hypoxia can impair several cognitive domains such as attention, learning and memory, procession speed and executive function, which are similar in acute and chronic hypoxia. The severity of cognitive deficit correlates with the duration and degree of hypoxia. Recovery can be achieved after acute hypoxia, while sequelae or even dementia can be observed after chronic hypoxia, perhaps due to the different molecular mechanisms. Cardiopulmonary compensatory response, glycolysis, oxidative stress, calcium overload, adenosine, mitochondrial disruption, inflammation and excitotoxicity contribute to the molecular mechanisms of cognitive deficit after acute hypoxia. During the chronic stage of hypoxia, different adaptive responses, impaired neurovascular coupling, apoptosis, transcription factors-mediated inflammation, as well as Aβ accumulation and tau phosphorylation account for the neurocognitive deficit. Moreover, brain structural changes with hippocampus and cortex atrophy, ventricle enlargement, senile plaque and neurofibrillary tangle deposition can be observed under chronic hypoxia rather than acute hypoxia.

The Burden of Hidradenitis Suppurativa Signs and Symptoms in Quality of Life: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18136709.

Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent and debilitating inflammatory skin disease of the hair follicle that usually presents as painful, deep-seated inflamed lesions in the apocrine gland-bearing areas of the body. HS patients suffer from uncomfortable signs and symptoms, such as pain, pruritus, malodour and suppuration, which may impair patients’ quality of life (QoL). Although HS patients frequently experience these signs and symptoms, they are only occasionally assessed by clinicians and, unexpectedly, the scientific evidence available is limited and heterogeneous. The aim of this study is to summarize the evidence regarding the impact of HS signs and symptoms on QoL to serve as a basis for future research and help clinicians to consider them in the daily care of HS patients. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA Guidelines. The following search algorithm was used: (hidradenitis or “acne inversa”) and (pain or itch or odour or malodour or suppuration or oozing or drainage) and (“quality of life”). The literature search identified 836 references, 17 of them met the eligible criteria and were included for analysis, representing 4929 HS patients. Mean age of the participants was 36.28 years and there was a predominance of female sex among study participants. The BMI of the population was in the range of over-weight and about two out five patients were active smokers. Studies included patients with mild to moderate HS, with a mean disease duration of 13.69 years. The HS signs and symptoms assessed were pain, pruritus, malodour and suppuration. Overall, the higher intensity of a sign or symptom correlated with poorer general QoL or specific QoL dimensions including sexual distress, anxiety, depression and sleep. The most frequently employed tool to assess QoL was the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). DLQI was used in 52.9% of the studies (9/17) with a mean value of 10.70 (2.16 SD). The scores employed to assess signs and symptoms severity were subjective and varied between studies, being the numerical rating scale (NRS) for each of the most used symptoms. The mean NRS value for pain was 3.99 and the mean NRS for pruritus was 4.99. In conclusion, we have summarized, categorized and analyzed the scientific evidence regarding signs and symptoms in HS patients and their impairment in QoL. Their assessment should be thorough and included during routine evaluation of HS patients to motivate therapeutic modifications and increase patients’ health.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to clarify the cognitive function of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and different nutritional status. Methods Among 95 patients with COPD in this retrospective study, we administered the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). We recorded patients’ clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and laboratory measurements. According to NRS 2002 scores, patients were divided into two groups: no nutritional risk with NRS 2002 < 3 (n = 54) and nutritional risk, with NRS 2002 ≥ 3 (n = 41). Results We found a negative correlation between NRS 2002 and MMSE scores in participants with COPD (r = −0.313). Patients with nutritional risk were more likely to be cognitively impaired than those with no nutritional risk. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that malnutrition was an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment, after adjusting for confounders (odds ratio [OR] = 4.120, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.072–15.837). We found a similar association between NRS 2002 and MMSE scores at 90-day follow-up using a Pearson’s correlation test (r = −0.493) and logistic regression analysis (OR = 7.333, 95% CI: 1.114–48.264). Conclusions Patients with COPD at nutritional risk are more likely to have cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Sleep disturbance is common among children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and is related to neurocognitive difficulties. However, research on sleep disturbances and related variables among adults with SCD is extremely limited. The present study examined the relationship between sleep, executive functioning, and emotional functioning among 62 adults (29 females; M age = 32 years, SD = 7.79) with SCD preparing to undergo a stem cell transplant. Participants were administered a neurocognitive evaluation that included objective and subjective measures of executive functioning, and they completed PROMIS self-report measures of anxiety, depression, and pain intensity. Results showed that about 17% of participants endorsed clinically significant sleep disruptions, while 16.1% and 8% endorsed clinically significant symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. Sleep disturbance in these adults was not significantly correlated with objective or subjective measures of executive functioning. Moreover, anxiety, but not depression, was a significant mediator between self-reported sleep difficulties and both objective and subjective measures of executive functioning while controlling for pain intensity. Future research on sleep interventions will be essential for ameliorating the effects of sleep disturbance on executive functioning and anxiety among adults with SCD.

[PMID: 32801679 PMCID: PMC7396955 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s257796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2020] [Accepted: 07/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Prior studies have indicated that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exhibit significant cognitive defects on neuropsychological testing. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in patients with COPD and is associated with reduced cognitive function; however, the combined impact of these two conditions on cognitive function is unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of OSA on cognitive impairment in patients with COPD. Methods Sixty-five stable COPD patients aged over 60 years underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG). Global cognitive functions were evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Results Compared to patients with COPD alone, patients with both COPD and OSA performed worse on the MMSE (25.5±2.9 vs 23.5±3.2; p=0.01) and were more likely to be at risk for developing dementia based on the MMSE score (MMSE≤24) (31% vs 66%; p<0.01), independent of key demographic, educational and medical variables known to affect cognitive function in COPD. COPD patients with an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥30 events/h had lower MMSE scores than those with an AHI of <15 events/h. In addition to age and education level, the severity of nocturnal intermittent hypoxia is an independent predictor of the risk of dementia in patients with COPD (OR=1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.48, p = 0.02). Conclusion The current findings indicate that patients with COPD with comorbid OSA may be at greater risk for global cognitive impairment relative to patients with COPD alone. The mechanisms underlying the exaggerated cognitive dysfunction seem to be related to intermittent hypoxia. Further work is needed to understand the impact of OSA on the specific domains of cognitive impairment and the therapeutic implications of OSA in COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the changes of dietary structure and lifestyles, the incidence of chronic constipation is gradually increasing. Sleep disorders increase gastrointestinal symptoms and are a risk factor for anxiety and depression. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of sleep disorders on anxiety and depression and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic functional constipation, so as to provide an objective basis for the treatment of elderly patients with chronic functional constipation.
AIM To investigate the effects of sleep disorders on anxiety and depression and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic functional constipation.
METHODS A total of 126 elderly patients with chronic functional constipation admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to September 2019 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into a sleep disorder group and a normal sleep group according to whether they had a sleep disorder. All patients underwent assessments using the constipation scoring system (CSS), patient assessment of constipation-symptoms (PAS-SYM) questionnaire, sleep quality assessment, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and a quality of life scale.
RESULTS In the sleep disorder group, the CSS score was 19.63 ± 3.36, the PAS-SYM score was 1.59 ± 0.52, the SAS score was 58.92 ± 6.72, and the SDS score was 57.74 ± 6.38, all of which were significantly higher than those of the normal sleep group (P < 0.05). The scores of social function, emotional score, physical role, physical health, mental health, and total health in the sleep disorder group were 71.56 ± 3.38, 75.89 ± 2.95, 76.86 ± 2.92, 80.25 ± 3.35, 78.36 ± 3.65, and 76.19 ± 2.56, respectively, all of which were significantly lower than those of the normal sleep group (P < 0.05). CSS scores, PAS-SYM scores, and total scores were positively correlated with SAS and SDS scores (P < 0.05). The scores of the six dimensions in SF-36 were negatively correlated with SAS and SDS scores (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression may be important factors affecting the clinical symptoms and quality of life of elderly patients with chronic functional constipation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common disease in elderly patients, which is prone to relapse and seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. Brain-intestinal interaction disorder is the main cause of FD, and most of FD patients are accompanied by different degrees of sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and other negative psychology. At present, there are few studies on sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and lower gastrointestinal symptoms in elderly FD patients.
AIM To investigate the effects of sleep disorders on anxiety, depression, and lower gastrointestinal symptoms in elderly patients with FD based on the brain-intestinal axis theory.
METHODS A total of 236 elderly patients with FD diagnosed based on the Roman Ⅳ criteria at our hospital from February 2017 to September 2019 were included in this study. Different scales were used to evaluate digestive tract symptom severity, sleep quality, and anxiety and depression.
RESULTS Among 214 elderly FD patients, 103 (48.13%) had sleep disorders and 182 (85.05%) had anxiety and depression. In elderly FD patients with sleep disorders, the incidences of lower abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, sheep dung-like or hard feces, difficulty in defecation, feeling of incomplete defecation, and urgent need for defecation were 35.92%, 33.98%, 21.36%, 32.04%, 43.69%, and 27.18%, respectively, all of which were significantly higher those of elderly FD patients with no sleep disorder (P < 0.05). The self-rating anxiety scale score of elderly FD patients with sleep disorders was 65.34 ± 7.29 and the self-rating depression scale score was 66.17 ± 8.26, both of which were significantly higher than those of elderly FD patients without sleep disorders (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression are often present in elderly FD patients, and sleep disorders are closely related to lower gastrointestinal symptoms in elderly FD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disorders can increase the incidence of gastrointestinal symptoms, and a long-term decline in sleep quality is a risk factor for anxiety and depression. This study, based on the "brain-gut axis" theory, explored whether sleep disorder aggravates the clinical manifestations of elderly patients with chronic constipation and whether it affects their psychological mood and quality of life.
AIM To explore the correlation of sleep disturbance with anxiety, depression, and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic constipation based on the "brain-gut axis" theory.
METHODS One hundred and twenty-six elderly patients with chronic constipation who were hospitalized at our hospital from March 2017 to September 2019 were selected as the study subjects. The constipation scoring system (CSS), symptom self-rating questionnaire, sleep quality assessment, anxiety and depression scales, and quality of life scale were administered to all patients.
RESULTS The sleep disorder group had a CSS score of 19.63 ± 3.36, patient assessment of constipation symptom (PAS-SYM) score of 1.59 ± 0.52, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score of 58.92 ± 6.72, and self-rating depression scale (SDS) score of 57.74 ± 6.38, which were significantly higher than those of the normal sleep group (P < 0.05). In the sleep disorder group, the scores of social function, mood, physical role, physical health, mental health, and overall health were 71.56 ± 3.38, 75.89 ± 2.95, 76.86 ± 2.92, 80.25 ± 3.35, 78.36 ± 3.65, and 76.19 ± 2.56, respectively, all of which were significantly lower than those of the normal sleep group (P < 0.05). CSS score, scores of all dimensions of PAC-SYM score, and PAC-SYM total score were positively correlated with SAS and SDS scores (P < 0.05). The scores of the six dimensions of SF-36 were negatively correlated with SAS and SDS scores (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION The brain-gut axis is the bridge between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain. Sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression may be important factors affecting the clinical symptoms of elderly patients with chronic constipation, and affect their quality of life.

Abstract
Background Mild cognitive impairment is a common systemic manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its pathophysiological origins are not understood. Since, cognitive function relies on efficient communication between distributed cortical and subcortical regions, we investigated whether people with COPD have disruption in white matter connectivity. Methods Structural networks were constructed for 30 COPD patients (aged 54–84 years, 57% male, FEV1 52.5% pred.) and 23 controls (aged 51–81 years, 48% Male). Networks comprised 90 grey matter regions (nodes) interconnected by white mater fibre tracts traced using deterministic tractography (edges). Edges were weighted by the number of streamlines adjusted for a) streamline length and b) end-node volume. White matter connectivity was quantified using global and nodal graph metrics which characterised the networks connection density, connection strength, segregation, integration, nodal influence and small-worldness. Between-group differences in white matter connectivity and within-group associations with cognitive function and disease severity were tested. Results COPD patients’ brain networks had significantly lower global connection strength (p = 0.03) and connection density (p = 0.04). There was a trend towards COPD patients having a reduction in nodal connection density and connection strength across the majority of network nodes but this only reached significance for connection density in the right superior temporal gyrus (p = 0.02) and did not survive correction for end-node volume. There were no other significant global or nodal network differences or within-group associations with disease severity or cognitive function. Conclusion COPD brain networks show evidence of damage compared to controls with a reduced number and strength of connections. This loss of connectivity was not sufficient to disrupt the overall efficiency of network organisation, suggesting that it has redundant capacity that makes it resilient to damage, which may explain why cognitive dysfunction is not severe. This might also explain why no direct relationships could be found with cognitive measures. Smoking and hypertension are known to have deleterious effects on the brain. These confounding effects could not be excluded.

Abstract
Chronic dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria and hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as accompanying subjective symptoms (itch and pain), have a great impact on patients’ well-being. Skin plays an important role in the physiological sleep process. This review attempts to analyze the association between chronic dermatoses in adults and sleep quality in recent studies. Polysomnography and actigraphy are performed for the objective assessment of sleep quality. Questionnaire-based subjective evaluations of sleep quality, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale, are useful in clinical studies and clinical practice. Subjective symptoms such as itch and pain have an essential influence on sleep quality and general quality of life in patients with chronic skin diseases.

Abstract
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for pain management is a therapy that aims to modify thoughts and behavior to be more realistic and balanced. There are limited number of studies to assess the efficacy of CBT for patients with pharmacotherapy-resistant chronic migraine in our population. We aimed to invstigate the effects of CBT for patients with refractory chronic migraine on pain attack frequency, disability, severity, anxiety and depression. Fourteen patients with refractory chronic migraine who were referred from the headache clinic to the psychiatry department and regularly attended CBT sessions at least once every 2 weeks for at least 6 months, were included in the study. After 2 sessions of psychiatric evaluation, the subjects had 12 40-min CBT sessions and were given relaxation exercises. The Hamilton depression and anxiety inventories, visual analogue scale for assessing the severity of pain, and the Migraine disability assessment (MIDAS) test were used before and after CBT. The mean Hamilton depression scores before and after CBT were 29.07 ± 7.74 and 14.21 ± 7.7, respectively (p < 0.0001). The mean Hamilton anxiety scores before and after CBT were 26.8 ± 11.7 and 11.7 ± 2.6, respectively (p < 0.0001). The mean VAS scores before and after CBT were 8.07 ± 0.91 and 3.71 ± 1.32, respectively (p < 0.0001). The mean MIDAS scores before and after CBT were 55.5 ± 20.4 and 20.12 ± 16.6, respectively (p < 0.0001). Our results showed that CBT had made a statistically significant difference on pain severity, number of migraine attacks and disability in patients with refractory chronic migraine. CBT should be considered in this patient group.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex multi-component disorder characterized by progressive irreversible respiratory symptoms and extrapulmonary comorbidities, including anxiety-depression and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the prevalence of these impairments is still uncertain, due to non-optimal screening methods. This observational cross-sectional multicentre study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anxiety-depressive symptoms and MCI in COPD patients, identify the most appropriate cognitive tests to screen MCI, and investigate specific cognitive deficits in these patients and possible predictive factors. Materials and methods Sixty-five stable COPD inpatients (n = 65, aged 69.9±7.6 years, mainly stage III–IV GOLD) underwent the following assessments: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) or Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and a complete neuropsychological battery (ENB-2) including different cognitive domains (attention, memory, executive functions, and perceptive and praxis abilities). Results Moderate-severe anxiety was present in 18.5% of patients and depressive symptoms in 30.7%. The prevalence of MCI varied according to the test: 6.2% (MMSE), 18.5% (MoCA) and 50.8% (ENB-2). In ENB-2, patients performed significantly worse compared to Italian normative data on digit span (5.11±0.9 vs. 5.52±1.0, p = 0.0004), trail making test-B (TMT-B) (176.31±99.5 vs. 135.93±58.0, p = 0.004), overlapping pictures (26.03±8.9 vs. 28.75±8.2, p = 0.018) and copy drawing (1.370.6 vs. 1.61±0.5, p = 0.002). At logistic regression analysis, only COPD severity (p = 0.012, odds ratio, OR, 4.4 [95% CI: 1.4–14.0]) and anxiety symptoms (p = 0.026, OR 4.6 [1.2–17.7]) were significant and independent predictors of the deficit in copy drawing, which assesses visuospatial and praxis skills. Conclusion Given the prevalence of neuropsychological impairments in COPD patients, the routine adoption in rehabilitation of screening tools for mood and cognitive function, including digit span, TMT-B and copy drawing, may be useful to detect psychosocial comorbidities and personalize the rehabilitative program.
