TL;DR: Both linear and angular measurements useful for characterizing facial morphology can be reliably measured from facial photographs, however, only moderate correlations with analogous cephalometric measures were found and standardized photographs and cephalograms most likely measure different aspects of facial morphology and cannot be used interchangeably.

TL;DR: The results show that the relationship of shorter sleep duration to a greater likelihood of being obese persists even after adjusting for potential confounders of child psychological/behavioral functioning and parenting stress.

TL;DR: Among an older multi-ethnic cohort, robust associations across multiple indices of sleep and adiposity in racially/ethnically diverse older adults within the MESA Sleep study are found.

TL;DR: The authors perform genome-wide gene-by-sleep interaction analysis and find 49 previously unreported lipid loci when considering short or long total sleep time, contributing to the understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in sleep-associated adverse lipid profiles.

TL;DR: PAI-1 and fibrinogen levels increase monotonically with AHI at degrees of sleep-disordered breathing considered mildly to moderately abnormal, suggesting that even mild SDB levels may increase prothrombotic processes.
