Cognitivebehavioraltherapy for insomnia reduces alcohol-related harm among veterans in treatment MizzouNews JAMAPsych
Is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia feasible and efficacious early in treatment for alcohol use disorder, and if so, does it affect alcohol use?In this randomized clinical trial involving veterans with insomnia who were in treatment for alcohol use disorder, CBT-I was associated with greater reductions in insomnia symptoms and alcohol-related problems over time than a single session of instruction about sleep hygiene.
Follow-up visits occurred posttreatment and at 6 weeks.Participants were randomly assigned to receive 5 weekly sessions of CBT-I or a single session about sleep hygiene . Participants were asked to complete sleep diaries for 7 days at each assessment.Primary outcomes included posttreatment insomnia severity and follow-up frequency of any drinking and heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems .

Impact of flail chest injury on morbidity and outcome: ten years’ experience at a tertiary care hospital in a developing country - BMC AnesthesiologyBackground One of the worst types of severe chest injuries seen by clinicians is flail chest. This study aims to measure the overall mortality rate among flail chest patients and then to correlate mortality with several demographic, pathologic, and management factors. Methodology A retrospective observational study tracked a total of 376 flail chest patients admitted to the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) and surgical intensive care unit (SICU) at Zagazig University over 120 months. The main outcome measurement was overall mortality. The secondary outcomes were the association of age and sex, concomitant head injury, lung and cardiac contusions, the onset of mechanical ventilation (MV) and chest tubes insertion, the length of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay in days, injury severity score (ISS), associated surgeries, pneumonia, sepsis, the implication of standard fluid therapy and steroid therapy, and the systemic and regional analgesia, with the overall mortality rates. Results The mortality rate was 19.9% overall. The shorter onset of MV and chest tube insertion, and the longer ICU, and hospital length of stay were noted in the mortality group compared with the survived group (P-value less than 0.05). Concomitant head injuries, associated surgeries, pneumonia, pneumothorax, sepsis, lung and myocardial contusion, standard fluid therapy, and steroid therapy were significantly correlated with mortality (P-value less than 0.05). MV had no statistically significant effect on mortality. Regional analgesia (58.8%) had a significantly higher survival rate than intravenous fentanyl infusion (41.2%). In multivariate analysis, sepsis, concomitant head injury, and high ISS were independent predictors for mortality [OR (95% CI) = 568.98 (19.49–16613.52), 6.86 (2.86–16.49), and 1.19 (1.09–1.30), respectively]. Conclusion The current report recorded mortality of 19.9% between flail chest injury patients. Sepsis, concomitant head injury, and higher ISS are the independent

Frontiers | Boost your brain: a simple 100% normobaric oxygen treatment improves human motor learning processesHuman motor learning processes are a fundamental part of our daily lives and can be adversely affected by neurologic conditions. Motor learning largely depends on successfully integrating cognitive and motor-related sensory information, and a simple, easily accessible treatment that could enhance such processes would be exciting and clinically impactful. Normobaric 100% oxygen treatment (NbOxTr) is often used as a first-line intervention to improve survival rates of brain cells in neurological trauma, and recent work indicates that improvements in elements crucial for cognitive-motor-related functions can occur during NbOxTr. However, whether NbOxTr can enhance the motor learning processes of healthy human brains is unknown. Here, we investigated whether a brief NbOxTr administered via nasal cannula improves motor learning processes during a visuomotor adaptation task where participants adapt to a visual distortion between visual feedback and hand movements. 40 healthy young adults (M=21 yrs.) were randomly assigned to a NbOxTr (N=20; 100% oxygen) or air (N=20; regular air) group and went through four typical visuomotor adaptation phases (Baseline, Adaptation, After-effect, Refresher). Gas treatment (flow rate 5 L/min) was only administered during the Adaptation phase of the visuomotor experiment, in both groups. The NbOxTr provided during the Adaptation phase lead to significantly faster and about 30% improved learning (p|0.05). Notably, these motor learning improvements consolidated into the subsequent experiment phases, i.e., after the gas treatment was terminated (p|0.05). We conclude that this simple and brief NbOxTr dramatically improved fundamental human motor leanring processes and may provide promising potential for neurorehabilitation and skill-learning approaches. Further studies should investigate whether similar improvements exist in elderly and neurologically impaired individuals, other motor learning tasks, and also long-lasting effects.
