Background
The treatment of insomnia with sleep medication causes problems such as long-term use, dependence, and significant economic losses, including medical expenses. Evidence-based lifestyle guidance is required to improve insomnia symptoms not only in person but also in easy-to-use web-based formats.

Objective
This study aims to clarify whether unguided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) or the Three Good Things (TGT) exercise, both administered as self-help internet interventions without email support, could improve insomnia symptoms compared with a waiting list control (WLC) group.

Methods
A 4-week program was implemented, and participants were randomly allocated to 1 of the 3 groups. The primary outcome measure was the Pittsburgh Sleep Questionnaire (PSQI) score at 4 weeks compared with baseline.

Results
Of the 21,394 individuals invited to participate, 312 (1.46%) met the eligibility criteria and were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 groups. Of these 312 individuals, 270 (86.5%; ICBT 79/270, 29.3%; TGT 88/270, 32.6%; and WLC 103/270, 38.1%) completed a postintervention survey at 4 and 8 weeks. The adjusted mean changes of the primary outcome measure (PSQI) in the ICBT (−1.56, 95% CI −2.52 to −0.59; P<.001) and TGT (−1.15, 95% CI −2.08 to −0.23; P=.002) groups at 4 weeks from baseline showed a significant improvement compared with the WLC group. The adjusted mean changes in the secondary outcome measures of sleep onset latency, total sleep time, Athens Insomnia Scale score, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score at 4 weeks from baseline, as well as in the PSQI at 8 weeks from baseline, showed significant improvement for ICBT. Moreover, total sleep time, Athens Insomnia Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scores at 4 weeks from baseline showed a significant improvement in the TGT group compared with the WLC group.

Conclusions
A total of 4 weeks of unguided ICBT and TGT exercises improved insomnia.

Published: December 2021

Chlamydia pneumoniae is an intracellular gram-negative bacteria associated with lower and upper respiratory tract infections. Several studies, mostly achieved by serological assays, proposed a role for this bacteria in lung cancer risk. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydia pneuomoniae in fresh lung tissues of a sample of Iraqi patients with lung tumors, utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. . Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA was detected in 86.67% of samples. Besides, DNA sequencing of 16S rRNA gene revealed that our isolate is closely related to Chlamydia pneumoniae TW183 strain. It is concluded that Chlamydia pneumoniae is found in fresh lung tissues of patients, suggesting past infection, reinfection, or persistent form, which may play a role in the development or exacerbation of lung tumors. Our results confirm the high prevalence of this type of bacteria in Iraqi patients.

Published: December 2021

Background Congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) is caused by placental transfer of Toxoplasma gondii to the fetus, which can generate neurological, neurocognitive deficits, or death. Appropriate preventive strategies are required for infection-related risk factors. This study assessed the prevalence of T. gondii infection and the factors associated with CT in pregnant women with assistance from the Public Health Service at Ouro Preto, Brazil. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted between April and December 2020. Pregnant women (n=131) aged between 13 and 46 years, were recruited and evaluated for specific IgM/IgG antibody levels against T. gondii. A structured questionnaire was applied to determine the socioeconomic, environmental, gestational, clinical, and dietary patterns. Results The prevalence of T. gondii was 45.8% (n = 60) in which multiparas revealed to be more exposed to infection and were 2.6 times more likely to become infected with the parasite compared to primiparas, (odds ratio, OR=2.60; 95% confidence interval, CI=1.25-5.39). A high prevalence of T. gondii seropositivity was found to be related to the absence of basic sanitation at home. In conclusion, multiparas constitute risk factor for CT. Conclusions Educational and preventive measures should be intensified in uninfected multiparas to raise awareness about the potential risks of contact with T. gondii.
