Quality measures for the care of patients with insomnia: 2024 update after measure maintenance.

Insomnia is highly prevalent and is one of the most common sleep disorders amongst adults and children in the US. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) convened the Quality Measures Task Force (Task Force) to perform maintenance on this quality measure set, developed to optimize management and care for patients with insomnia, as the measure set was originally developed and published in 2015. The Task Force reviewed the current medical literature, including updated clinical practice guidelines and systematic literature reviews, existing quality measures, and performance data highlighting gaps or variations in care since implementation of the original quality measure set to inform any potential revisions to the quality measures.

Different External Cues Elicit Specific Kinetic Strategies During a Drop Jump in Well-Trained Adolescent Soccer Players.

Barillas, SR, Lloyd, RS, Pedley, JS, and Oliver, JL. Different external cues elicit specific kinetic strategies during a drop jump in well-trained adolescent soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 39(1): e30-e39, 2025-The purpose of this study was to examine how different external cues that focus on jump height and ground contact time influence kinetic outcomes from a drop jump (DJ) in well-trained young soccer players.

Uncommon and Challenging Phenotypes of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus-Associated Head and Neck Carcinomas Revealed by High-Throughput Studies.

Background: HPV- associated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is uncommon in non-oropharynx sites and not well characterized. This study aims to investigate uncommon phenotypes of HPV-associated head and neck carcinoma, the prevalence and morphologic spectrum of HPV-associated SCC in the oral cavity, larynx and hypopharynx.

Method: P16 immunostaining and HPV E6/7 in situ hybridization (ISH) were performed on tissue microarrays comprised of SCCs from different anatomic sites: oropharynx (n = 270), hypopharynx (n = 52), oral cavity (n = 95) and larynx (n = 123).

Coffee and Cases (C&C) - Enhancing Knowledge Creation and Sharing for Organizational Learning From Clinical Debriefs in a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service: A Quality Improvement Study.

Objectives: The objective of this quality improvement (QI) study was to improve organizational learning from clinical debriefs known as "Coffee and Cases" (C&C) in a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) by increasing weekly learning summaries (LS) and documented learning points (DLP) as well as the dissemination thereof by at least 50% from baseline.

Methods: The problem analysis for sub-optimal organizational learning from C&C identified several factors, including lack of responsibility, poor documentation quality, and limited sharing of learning points. Using the Model for Improvement (MFI), interventions enhanced the learning environment, and improved documentation and dissemination.
