Article Abstract
Objective: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in sleep quality among patients with cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM).
Methods: The study included liver cirrhosis patients aged 18-75 from Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University and collected their clinical examination results to assess the clinical characteristics and related risk factors of patients with CCM.
Results: The study found that the onset of CCM was not related to the etiology of inducing cirrhosis. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score (odds ratio (OR) = 13.476, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.514-119.923, P = 0.020), absolute GLS (OR = 0.328, 95% CI = 0.210-0.510, P < 0.001), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (OR = 1.050, 95% CI = 1.025-1.076, P < 0.001) were identified as independent risk factors for inducing CCM.
Conclusion: In patients with CCM, a decrease in sleep quality often occurs. When cirrhotic patients also have poor sleep quality, along with a decrease in absolute Global Left Ventricular Strain (GLS) levels and an increase in NT-proBNP levels, these factors may pose a higher risk for CCM development. However, further validation of these research findings is required in larger sample sizes.

Background: Rates of loneliness have risen sharply since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to disruptions in social relationships and daily routines, with college students experiencing some of the greatest increases. While prevention programs targeting loneliness have been developed, their success has been limited. One promising approach may lie in enhancing the quality of existing relationships rather than simply increasing social interactions during periods of acute loneliness.

Importance: There is an unmet need for long-term, safe, effective, and hormone-free treatments for menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and sleep disturbances.
Objective: To evaluate the 52-week efficacy and safety of elinzanetant, a dual neurokinin-targeted therapy, for treating moderate to severe VMS associated with menopause.
Design, Setting, And Participants: OASIS-3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 clinical trial that was conducted at 83 sites in North America and Europe from August 27, 2021, to February 12, 2024, and included postmenopausal women aged 40 to 65 years who were seeking treatment for moderate to severe VMS (no requirement for a minimum number of VMS events per week).

Importance: The cost-effectiveness of adding early in-bed cycling to usual physiotherapy among adults receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared with usual physiotherapy alone is unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of in-bed cycling plus usual physiotherapy compared with usual therapy alone in the Critical Care Cycling to Improve Lower Extremity Strength (CYCLE) randomized clinical trial.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This trial-based economic evaluation with a 90-day time horizon compared early cycling plus usual physiotherapy vs usual physiotherapy alone from a societal perspective.

Introduction: Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) typically requires hospitalization for intravenous (IV) corticosteroid treatment and monitoring. In response to the need to reduce inpatient stays, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, outpatient treatment models have gained interest. This study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and patient satisfaction of outpatient IV corticosteroid treatment for ASUC.
