    Abstract Circulating melatonin is elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); whether circadian disruptions coincide with sleep disturbances in women with PCOS or their symptom severity is unclear. The objective of this observational pilot study was to determine whether altered patterns of melatonin excretion are associated with reduced sleep quality in women with versus without PCOS. Participants underwent a clinical assessment, transvaginal ultrasound, and reproductive hormone testing. Morning and evening urine samples were assayed for urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (MEL) as a proxy for melatonin production. The night (morning MEL)-to-day (evening MEL) ratio, or N:D ratio, was determined to approximate the rhythm of MEL production. Sleep quality and duration were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and wrist actigraphy. No differences were detected in overnight MEL, daytime MEL, or the N:D ratio in participants with PCOS versus controls. The PCOS group experienced reduced weekend sleep efficiency vs. controls (81% vs. 88%

    Abstract Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a low-resource country in the South-West Pacific with considerable health care challenges, including a high burden of painful disease. The Essential Pain Management (EPM) educational program was developed to address the challenge of inadequate pain education in PNG and the first workshop was held in 2010. The aims of EPM are to improve pain knowledge, teach a simple system for managing pain, and address local pain management barriers. It is usually delivered as an interactive, multidisciplinary 1-day workshop with an emphasis on developing local solutions to local problems. The program includes an instructor workshop to encourage early handover to local health care workers. Between 2010 and 2018, a total of 42 one-day workshops and 6 instructor workshops were held throughout PNG, and 783 health care workers were trained, as well as 60 instructors. Over two-thirds of the 1-day workshops were taught entirely by local instructors. A shorter version of the workshop, called EPM Lite, was used to train 109 medical and nursing students. Program evaluation has included participant feedback (reaction) and preworkshop and postworkshop tests (knowledge) since inception. Evaluation of behavioral and organizational change has proved more challenging; however, a survey of past participants suggests some important behavioral changes and points to areas for formal research. The uptake of the EPM program in PNG is encouraging and suggests that there is a need for a pain management education program that is simple and easily adopted by local health care workers. There are still significant challenges, including a lack of funding, limited uptake at undergraduate level, the need for more formal evaluation of clinical impact, and the requirement for an all-of-system approach to improve pain management in PNG. Worldwide, EPM has now been taught in more than 60 countries. Our priorities for coming years include support for embedding EPM into health care systems and teaching programs, increased mentorship for instructors, assistance with overcoming local pain management barriers, and development of specific projects that will assess the impact of EPM education on patient outcomes.
