Impact of PM, relative humidity, and temperature on sleep quality: a cross-sectional study in Taipei.

Introduction: TWe investigated impacts of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 μm (PM), relative humidity (RH), and temperature on sleep stages and arousal.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional analysis involving 8,611 participants was conducted at a sleep center in Taipei.

Mitotic block and epigenetic repression underlie neurodevelopmental defects and neurobehavioral deficits in congenital heart disease.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart disease associated with microcephaly and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Here we show that the Ohia HLHS mouse model, with mutations in Sap130, a chromatin modifier, and Pcdha9, a cell adhesion protein, also exhibits microcephaly associated with mitotic block and increased apoptosis leading to impaired cortical neurogenesis. Transcriptome profiling, DNA methylation, and Sap130 ChIPseq analyses all demonstrate dysregulation of genes associated with autism and cognitive impairment.

The impact of age on comparative diagnostic accuracy of temporal artery thermometers and non-contact infrared thermometers for fever detection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Non-invasive temporal artery thermometers (TATs) and non-contact infrared thermometers (NCITs) are increasingly used in community settings to measure body temperature. Existing research predominantly focuses on pediatric populations, yet the accuracy and precision of TATs and NCITs for fever screening across age groups remain unclear. This study aims to assess age-related differences in the diagnostic accuracy of TATs and NCITs for fever detection.

Management of operating theatre ambient temperature for major burn patients in a state-wide adult burns centre.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of limiting increases in theatre ambient temperature to 27°C to prevent intraoperative patient hypothermia.

Methods: This single-centre, comparative cohort clinical study investigated the management of theatre ambient temperatures involving patients with ≥ 20 % TBSA burn injuries at Victorian Adult Burns Service (Melbourne, Australia). Data from the intervention group (August 2021 - February 2023, theatre ambient temperature increase limited to 27°C) was compared with a historical cohort (August 2019 - August 2021).

Enrolment characteristics in age-related macular degeneration clinical trials: a cross-sectional study.

Background/objectives: To investigate demographic enrolment characteristics in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) trials.

Subjects/methods: Clinicaltrials.gov was searched with "age-related macular degeneration" to identify RCTs with double, triple, or quadruple masking.
