(Press-News.org) DARIEN, IL – The Associated Professional Sleep Societies is accepting research abstracts and session proposal submissions for SLEEP 2026, the 40th annual meeting of the APSS, which will be held June 14 to 17 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Research abstracts will be accepted for oral and poster presentations in two tracks: basic and translational sleep and circadian science and clinical sleep science and practice. Accepted abstracts will be published online in a supplement of the journal Sleep.
The APSS Program Committee is also accepting proposals for postgraduate courses and other sessions including bench-to-bedside sessions, clinical workshops, discussion groups, and symposia. These sessions will explore basic and translational sleep and circadian science, as well as developments in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and chronic insomnia.
Abstracts and session proposals for SLEEP 2026 must be submitted by Monday, Dec. 8, 2025.
The SLEEP annual meeting is the premier clinical and scientific conference for sleep medicine, sleep and circadian science, and sleep health. The SLEEP meeting also features an expansive exhibit hall with booths displaying the latest products and services from equipment manufacturers and suppliers, pharmaceutical companies, software companies, and medical and scientific publishers. The SLEEP 2025 meeting in Seattle had a record-breaking attendance of more than 6,000 people.
Complete abstract and session proposal submission details are available at https://www.sleepmeeting.org/submit/.

A team led by UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how life-saving antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of harmful bacteria.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Microbiology, could lead to new treatments for bacterial infections – especially urgent since drug-resistant infections already kill more than a million people a year.
Polymyxins were discovered more than 80 years ago and are used as a last-resort treatment for infections caused ...

Toronto, ON, September 29, 2025 – Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) account for more than one in five patients who have been in Ontario’s mental health beds for over a year, according to a new study from researchers at ICES and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
The findings suggest that people with IDD have different support needs compared with patients without IDD as they are more likely to have moderate or severe cognitive impairment, difficulty caring for themselves, and few social supports, which may contribute to challenges transitioning out of hospital and into the community. Enhancing specialized ...

At a glance:
Correctly distinguishing between look-alike tumors found in the brain during surgery can guide critical decisions in real time while patient is still in the operating room.
A new AI tool outperformed humans and other models in distinguishing glioblastoma from another type of cancer that appears similar under a microscope.
The new AI tool has a built-in uncertainty feature that flags tumors the model has not encountered before and marks them for human review.
A Harvard Medical School–led research team has developed an AI tool that can reliably tell apart two look-alike cancers found in the ...

They were the first generation of Americans to grow up with ultra-processed foods all around them – products typically loaded with extra fat, salt, sugar and flavorings. They were children and young adults at a time when such products, designed to maximize their appeal, proliferated.
Now, a study shows, 21% of women and 10% of men in Generation X and the tail end of the Baby Boom generation, now in their 50s and early 60s, meet criteria for addiction to these ultra-processed foods.
That rate is far higher than it is among ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in the scientific journal The BMJ, shows how a simple blood analysis can predict the risk of developing severe liver disease. The method may already start to be applied in primary care to enable the earlier detection of cirrhosis and cancer of the liver.
“These are diseases that are growing increasingly common and that have a poor prognosis if detected late,” says Rickard Strandberg, affiliated researcher at Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Medicine in ...

The review demonstrates that vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are both safe and effective in protecting groups who are most at risk for serious illness, including older adults and infants.
RSV is a common virus that causes coughs and colds but can also lead to life-threatening lung infections like pneumonia. Children under the age of two months are at the highest risk of severe RSV infection and death, with older adults also vulnerable to severe disease.
An international group of researchers analysed 14 ...

Vienna, Austria: The first detailed analysis of unplanned births that occurred outside the hospital setting in Austria has shown that, although such deliveries are rare, they pose challenges for emergency teams that attend, especially if babies are born prematurely [1].
In a study presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress today (Monday), the researchers found that between 2017 and 2024 there were 173 unplanned, out-of-hospital births in the Styria region of Austria, of which 16 (9%) were premature (less than 37 weeks’ gestation). The most premature ...

Vienna, Austria: Hypnosis can significantly improve patients’ tolerance of masks to help them breathe when they are suffering from acute respiratory failure, according to a pilot study presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress today (Monday) [1].
People who come to hospital with breathing problems are often given non-invasive ventilation (NIV) via a mask and tubes connected to a machine in order increase the amount of oxygen in their blood and lower carbon dioxide levels. However, some ...

Vienna, Austria: Injuries occurring to people who ride e-scooters cost Irish hospitals an average of €1,726 per patient, and researchers have calculated the total overall cost to one hospital in a single year was €128,650.
Dr Thomas Suttie, a senior house officer in emergency medicine at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown, Abbotstown, Dublin, Ireland, told the European Emergency Medicine Congress today (Monday): “In 2021 we published the number of patients who came to the emergency department of ...

People whose fathers smoked during puberty seem to age faster than expected, according to research presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands [1].
The researchers found signs of faster biological ageing, compared to chronological age, in people whose fathers began smoking at age 15 or younger. They say smoking during puberty may create damage in boys’ developing sperm cells that can be passed on to their children.
The researchers call for stronger efforts to prevent tobacco use in teenagers, not only ...
