Few studies have examined whether sleep is related to dietary intake in aging adults. To address this gap, this study investigated (1) the associations between sleep duration and sleep quality with fruits and vegetables (FV), fiber, and fat intake in lower-income midlife and older adults and (2) sex differences in these relationships. Baseline data from 163 ethnically diverse, lower-income midlife and older adults in the NIH-funded trial were analyzed.

Background/objectives: Eating disorders, including food neophobia and restrictive eating behaviors, are pervasive among university students. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Scale (NIAS), Düsseldorf Orthorexia Scale (DOS), Night Eating Syndrome Questionnaire (NESQ), Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) among university students in China and Pakistan to assess reliability and validity and explore the relationships between eating behaviors and mental health.
Methods: Initially, responses from 1056 university students from China and Pakistan were obtained, which were reduced to 1002 after screening.

Background: Older adults now make up about two-thirds of hospital admissions, with up to 50% experiencing cognitive impairments such as dementia. These patients often struggle with adherence to care plans and maintaining regular day or night cycles, presenting challenges for nurses. Hospitals are typically unprepared to manage this patient population, resulting in increased nurse workload and challenges like managing motor agitation, which can lead to falls or accidental removal of medical devices.

Objectives: To investigate implementation fidelity, adoption, barriers and facilitators of the multimodal, nonpharmacological intervention.

Withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments in the intensive care unit most often culminates into the discontinuation of mechanical ventilation and removal of the endotracheal tube or "terminal extubation." Standards of practice call for the appropriate use of analgesia and sedation before, during and after extubation with an explicit goal to relieve suffering but not to hasten death. Patients subjected to this procedure are exposed to variable pharmacologic agents, modes, and doses, without any knowledge or monitoring of what these patients are experiencing.
