The prevalence of Charles-Bonnet syndrome in ophthalmic patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) involves visually impaired yet mentally healthy individuals experiencing visual hallucinations (VH) while being aware of the hallucinations' unreality. Its prevalence varies across different conditions, with low vision, bilateral vision loss and advanced age being established as risk factors. This meta-analysis aims to comprehensively assess CBS literature with regard to CBS prevalence in ophthalmic patients.

Monitoring lung recruitability during recruitment maneuvers in children with respiratory failure on ECMO using electrical impedance tomography: case report.

Introduction: Currently, there are no clear guidelines regarding the use of recruitment maneuvers in pediatric patients with severe respiratory failure who are on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), nor is there consensus on how they should be performed.

Methods: In this report, we describe pulmonary recruitment maneuvers performed in four children with respiratory failure on ECMO (three on VA-ECMO and one on VV-ECMO), all of whom were monitored using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) between March and December 2024.

Results: Our findings demonstrate that EIT is a feasible tool for evaluating lung recruitability in children with severe respiratory failure on ECMO.

Cardiac interoceptive processing and emotional experience in binge eating behavior: Neural evidence of disengagement from bodily sensations.

Objective: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiac interoception in individuals with binge eating (BE) behavior and compares their emotional experience and affective state related to heartbeat perception with those of healthy controls (HCs).

Method: After a 5-min resting phase, participants (n = 28 BE group, n = 28 HC group) completed the heartbeat counting task, with concurrent EEG and ECG recording. Indices for interoceptive accuracy (IAcc), interoceptive beliefs (IBe), and interoceptive insight (IIn) were computed.

Content Validity Assessment of the Insomnia Daytime Symptoms and Impacts Questionnaire (IDSIQ) Among Adults with Insomnia and Nocturia.

Purpose: The study aimed to support use of the Insomnia Daytime Symptoms and Impacts Questionnaire (IDSIQ) in clinical trials for patients with concomitant insomnia disorder and nocturia.

Methods: Eligible participants in this observational study were United States (US) residents aged ≥ 55 years who experienced self-reported symptoms reflecting the diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder and nocturia (i.e.
