BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbance and fatigue are common in individuals undergoing inpatient rehabilitation following stroke. Understanding the relationships between sleep, fatigue, motor performance, and key biomarkers of inflammation and neuroplasticity could provide valuable insight into stroke recovery, possibly leading to personalized rehabilitation strategies. This study aimed to investigate the influence of sleep quality on motor function following stroke utilizing wearable technology to obtain objective sleep measurements. Additionally, we aimed to determine if there were relationships between sleep, fatigue, and motor function. Lastly, the study aimed to determine if salivary biomarkers of stress, inflammation, and neuroplasticity were associated with motor function or fatigue post-stroke.
METHODS: Eighteen individuals who experienced a stroke and were undergoing inpatient rehabilitation participated in a cross-sectional observational study. Following consent, participants completed questionnaires to assess sleep patterns, fatigue, and quality of life. Objective sleep was measured throughout one night using the wearable Philips Actiwatch. Upper limb motor performance was assessed on the following day and saliva was collected for biomarker analysis. Correlation analyses were performed to assess the relationships between variables.
RESULTS: Participants reported poor sleep quality, frequent awakenings, and difficulties falling asleep following stroke. We identified a significant negative relationship between fatigue severity and both sleep quality (r=-0.539, p = 0.021) and participants experience of awakening from sleep (r=-0.656, p = 0.003). A significant positive relationship was found between grip strength on the non-hemiplegic limb and salivary gene expression of Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (r = 0.606, p = 0.028), as well as a significant negative relationship between grip strength on the hemiplegic side and salivary gene expression of C-reactive Protein (r=-0.556, p = 0.048).
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study emphasize the importance of considering sleep quality, fatigue, and biomarkers in stroke rehabilitation to optimize recovery and that interventions may need to be tailored to the individual. Future longitudinal studies are required to explore these relationships over time. Integrating wearable technology for sleep and biomarker analysis can enhance monitoring and prediction of outcomes following stroke, ultimately improving rehabilitation strategies and patient outcomes.

In this editorial, we comment on the article by Wang et al published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology in 2023. We focused on identifying risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) patients and how to construct a simple and reliable clinical prediction model to assess the risk of LNM in SESCC patients, thereby helping to guide the selection of an appropriate treatment plan. The current standard treatment for SESCC is radical esophagectomy with lymph node dissection. However, esophagectomy is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic resection (ER) offers a safer and less invasive alternative to surgical resection and can enable the patient's quality of life to be maintained while providing a satisfactory outcome. However, since ER is a localized treatment that does not allow for lymph node dissection, the risk of LNM in SESCC limits the effectiveness of ER. Understanding LNM status can aid in determining whether patients with SESCC can be cured by ER without the need for additional esophagectomy. Previous studies have shown that tumor size, macroscopic type of tumor, degree of differentiation, depth of tumor invasion, and lymphovascular invasion are factors associated with LNM in patients with SESCC. In addition, tumor budding is commonly associated with LNM, recurrence, and distant metastasis, but this topic has been less covered in previous studies. By comprehensively evaluating the above risk factors for LNM, useful evidence can be obtained for doctors to select appropriate treatments for SESCC patients.
We aimed to analyze the risk factors and construct a new nomogram to predict non-sentinel lymph node (NSLN) metastasis for cT1-2 breast cancer patients with positivity after sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). A total of 830 breast cancer patients who underwent surgery between 2016 and 2021 at multi-center were included in the retrospective analysis. Patients were divided into training (n = 410), internal validation (n = 298), and external validation cohorts (n = 122) based on periods and centers. A nomogram-based prediction model for the risk of NSLN metastasis was constructed by incorporating independent predictors of NSLN metastasis identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses in the training cohort and then validated by validation cohorts. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the number of positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) (P < 0.001), the proportion of positive SLNs (P = 0.029), lymph-vascular invasion (P = 0.029), perineural invasion (P = 0.023), and estrogen receptor (ER) status (P = 0.034) were independent risk factors for NSLN metastasis. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) value of this model was 0.730 (95% CI 0.676-0.785) for the training, 0.701 (95% CI 0.630-0.773) for internal validation, and 0.813 (95% CI 0.734-0.891) for external validation cohorts. Decision curve analysis also showed that the model could be effectively applied in clinical practice. The proposed nomogram estimated the likelihood of positive NSLNs and assisted the surgeon in deciding whether to perform further axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and avoid non-essential ALND as well as postoperative complications.

Family caregivers (FCs) of a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can encounter unpredictable challenges and care demands. They can experience high levels of burden, a loss of self-care, and poor quality of life. Their receipt of social support and ability to communicate with clinicians may impact their burden. FCs would benefit from educational resources that teach them communication skills central to their ability to obtain the support they need-support that is imperative to reducing burden. To better target psychosocial educational interventions focused on social support and communication skills, we aimed to explore the relationship between social support, sources of support, and burden; the relationship between FCs' clinical communication and their perceptions of support and burden; and any unmet support needs. A total of 575 CLL FCs completed an online survey of validated scales about social support, burden, and clinical communication, as well as an open-ended item in which they reported any unmet support needs. Statistical analyses showed that FCs who perceived they were more supported reported less burden, and female FCs reported more burden than males. Support from family, friends, and professionals collectively contributed to FCs' support. FCs who perceived they had stronger communication skills with their loved one's clinicians reported more social support. FCs identified six areas of unmet support needs: financial, emotional, informational, instrumental, peer, and communication support. Collectively, findings show that increased social support can reduce FCs' burden and qualitative findings provide a roadmap of social support domains to target that could potentially improve the caregiving experience.
This study was a randomized clinical trial in blocks with a 1:1 allocation, stratified by weight. The study was duly adapted to resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council on research involving human beings and to the Declaration of Helsinki. The evaluations and treatment protocols were carried out at the Physiotherapy Clinic of a Private Higher Education Institution.. The sample was characterized by convenience and healthy women who met the inclusion criteria were recruited, mainly via social networks. To calculate the sample size, the G-Power software (version 3.1.3; University of Trier, Trier, Germany) was used and the significance level adopted was α = 0.05 and power (1-β) = 0.80. No similar studies were found, so f 0.30 was used as the effect size. Therefore, the minimum number of participants required for the study was estimated at 24 participants. Considering possible losses during the protocol, 26 participants (+10%) were recruited. Randomization was performed by stratifying by weight. The randomization list was kept in opaque and sealed envelopes, ensuring that the allocation was hidden and random and that the therapist responsible for applying the microneedling had contact with the randomization only on the day of the protocol application. In the present study, the sample of 26 participants was divided into three groups. Group one (G1), control, composed of eight people, underwent all the evaluations, but did not receive the microneedling protocol or actives. Group two (G2), composed of nine people, underwent all the proposed evaluations and the isolated microneedling procedure. Group three (G3), composed of nine people, underwent all the proposed evaluations and the microneedling procedure associated with actives. Groups G2 and G3 underwent 3 sessions of the protocol with a 4-week interval. Groups were evaluated at the beginning and 4 months after the start of the protocol. Evaluation of the area and length of stretch marks was performed through photography, dermal and hypodermal thickness was assessed via ultrasonography, and satisfaction levels were measured using the Likert scale.This study adopted the intention-to-treat approach. Therefore, participants who did not attend the scheduled sessions were rescheduled, allowing all sessions planned to be carried out. When the decision was made to withdraw, the data collected up until the end were used for analysis.
This study aimed to investigate the incidence and significance of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A multicenter cohort study was conducted using large-scale COVID-19 registry data. The patients were classified into DIC and non-DIC groups based on the diagnosis on admission (day 1) and on any of the days 1, 4, 8, and 15. In total, 23,054 patients were divided into DIC (n = 264) and non-DIC (n = 22,790) groups on admission. Thereafter, 1654 patients were divided into 181 patients with DIC and 1473 non-DIC patients based on the DIC diagnosis on any of the days from 1 to 15. DIC incidence was 1.1% on admission, increasing to 10.9% by day 15. DIC diagnosis on admission had moderate predictive performance for developing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) on day 4 and in-hospital death and was independently associated with MODS and in-hospital death. DIC diagnosis on any of the days from 1 to 15, especially days 8 and 15, was associated with lower survival probability than those without DIC and showed significant association with in-hospital death. In conclusion, despite its low incidence, DIC, particularly late-onset DIC, plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19.
Despite currently available screening techniques, only 63% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage, for which the 5-year survival rate exceeds 95% (1). Advances in breast imaging are occurring, but further efforts to detect breast cancer at an early stage would be beneficial. Recently, new technologies which use mass spectrometric analysis to characterize the overall pattern of peptide expression in the serum or plasma have been developed. Preliminary studies have suggested that peptide profiles can be used to differentiate cancer patients from those without cancer for a variety of malignancies including breast cancer. If mass spectrometric analysis is able to detect differences in peptide profiles between early stage breast cancers and normal controls, this technique could be developed as a screening modality.

The objective of the present study which is entitled "Peptide Profiles of Women Undergoing Breast Biopsy" is to determine whether the diagnosis of malignancy on breast biopsy is associated with a specific serum or plasma peptide profile which can be distinguished from the peptide profile associated with benign diagnoses on breast biopsy. To accomplish this, blood samples will be collected from 500 women undergoing breast biopsy and 100 women with metastatic disease. Samples will be obtained prior to the biopsies and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Residual material will be shared with investigators of the National Cancer Institute Clinical Proteomics Technology Assessment Consortium.

Transfer for finger or toe nails comprises a flexible film e.g. of plastic material, which is coated on one ide with a coloured layer in the form of a decorative design which can be transferred by rubbing. The design may be in the shape of a finger nail, or any other shape e.g. a stylised flower, star, lettering, etc. The film may be coated along at least one edge zone on the same side as the design with an adhesive material which facilitates transfer of the design by allowing the film to adhere to the finger temporarily and prevent slipping during rubbing. The decorative design may be completely surrounded by the adhesive coating, to increase the resistance to slipping even more. The transfer is easy to apply with uniformity and eliminates drying time, compared with nail varnish.
