Physiological responses to acute psychosocial stress in women with menopausal insomnia.

Introduction: Insomnia disorder is a common sleep disorder and frequently emerges in the context of menopause, being associated with menopause-specific factors such as hot flashes and other psychosocial variables. Increased vulnerability to stress may also contribute to the development of insomnia in midlife women. Here, we aimed to investigate whether there are differences in physiological reactivity to acute psychosocial stress in women with menopausal insomnia compared with controls.

Pleurectomy Decortication in the Treatment of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Encouraging Results and Novel Prognostic Implications Based on Experience in 355 Consecutive Patients.

Objective: We report a series of 355 consecutive patients treated over 9 years in a single institution with intended PDC.

Background: Surgery for MPM has shifted from extra-pleural pneumonectomy to PDC with the goal of MCR.

Methods: Clinical and outcome data were reviewed.

Diagnostic Laparoscopy Improves Staging of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma With Routine Positron Emission Tomography Imaging.

Background: With a multimodal treatment strategy, cytoreductive surgery extends survival in malignant pleural mesothelioma. Improving the accuracy of staging can refine patient selection. Our objective was to determine whether diagnostic laparoscopy (DL) improves staging for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma with the routine use of positron emission tomography (PET).
