Electrocardiogram Monitoring Practices for Hospitalized Adults Receiving Antipsychotics: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Antipsychotics are frequently used for managing both acute and chronic neuropsychiatric disorders. While antipsychotics are known to be associated with increased mortality due to cardiac arrhythmia, there is a lack of consensus on the timing and frequency of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring.  The goal of this study was to examine current ECG monitoring practices for adults receiving antipsychotics, specifically during hospital admission.

Objective: To identify gaps in early ICU aftercare and factors associated with poor hospital outcomes.

Methods: A multisite, retrospective study (January 1 to December 31, 2017) was conducted among randomly selected patients admitted to the medical ICU and subsequently transferred to acute medical care units.

Sleep and Environmental Factors Affecting Glycemic Control in People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Purpose Of Review: Sleep and environmental factors both impact glycemic control in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This narrative article aims to review research within the past 5 years, focusing on chronotype, light, noise, and neighborhood disparities in relation to sleep in people with T2DM.

Recent Findings: Sleep quality and duration have been shown to impact glycemic control in patients with T2DM.
