TL;DR: This study confirms a clear association between short sleep duration and elevated BMI and obesity, and levels of total cholesterol, HDL‐cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure were associated with sleep duration.

TL;DR: The NORGEP criteria may serve as rules of thumb for general practitioners related to their prescribing practice for elderly patients, and as a tool for evaluating the quality of GPs’ prescribing in settings where access to clinical information for individual patients is limited, e.g. in prescription databases and quality improvement interventions.

TL;DR: There is reason to believe that children who have experienced a simple FS are over-investigated and over-treated, and prophylactic use of paracetamol, ibuprofen or a combination of both in FS, is thus a questionable practice.

TL;DR: This study evaluates the effects of bright light therapy among demented nursing home patients with sleep disturbances and finds that it is beneficial to use bright light during the day and beneficial at night.

TL;DR: GPs with a high practice activity are, in general, more liberal with respect to the prescription of antibiotics for ARTIs, and the higher the antibiotic prescription rate, the larger the share of non-pcV agents.
