Adaptation of a sleep hygiene intervention for individuals with poor sleep and their companions: Results of a randomized controlled pilot trial.

Sleep is a major health issue for young adults. While sleep hygiene interventions have small-to-moderate effects, better outcomes might be achieved by delivering interventions individually to those reporting sleep difficulties, or in the presence of a supportive other or companion. To examine the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effects of an adapted sleep hygiene intervention for young adults with poor sleep, we conducted an ORBIT Phase IIb pilot randomized controlled trial (n = 51).

Liposomal Bupivacaine Versus Bupivacaine Hydrochloride for Intercostal Nerve Blockade in Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of liposomal bupivacaine (Lipo-B) and bupivacaine hydrochloride (B-HCl), in the presence of multimodal analgesia, on postoperative analgesia and opioid consumption in minimally invasive thoracic surgery (MITS) lobectomy.

Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.
