Developing structured clinical review templates in an integrated respiratory team during COVID-19: a qualitative review.
Br J Nurs
January 2025
Respiratory Nurse Specialist, NHS Dumfries and Galloway, Dumfries.
Introduction: In response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in March 2020 and required adherence to infection control measures and patient and staff safety, an integrated respiratory team (IRT) developed guideline-based templates to support the team in teleconsultation reviews of their patients. Patients had been diagnosed with sleep disordered breathing, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, interstitial lung disease or had oxygen assessment needs.
Methods: Nine IRT members collaboratively developed content for the templates to assist in clinical reviews.
Stroke recurrence and all-causemortality in CPAP-treated sleep-disordered-breathing patients.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects about 70 % of stroke patients and is closely linked to stroke development. It is unclear whether treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces the risk of stroke recurrence or mortality in post-stroke patients, partly due to limited follow-up time and small sample sizes of previous studies. To close this knowledge gap, this study investigated changes in stroke recurrence and mortality among CPAP-treated post-stroke patients with sleep-disordered breathing.

Hypertens Res
December 2024
Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, School of Medicine, University of Colorado Denver, Aurora, CO, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Uric acid, produced from purine metabolism, is linked to hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD), with new studies emerging recently highlighting its impact.
- Recent research indicates that hyperuricemia, caused by factors like diet and genetics, may contribute to various health issues including hypertension, kidney disease, and sleep disorders.
- The exact causal relationship between hyperuricemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress remains uncertain, emphasizing the need for more research to understand its role in CVD and to improve treatment options.
Using Cannabis and CBD to Sleep: An Updated Review.
Curr Psychiatry Rep
December 2024
Centre for Sleep and Chronobiology, Woolcock Institute of Medical Research, Macquarie University, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- The review examines the use of cannabis and cannabinoids for treating sleep disorders, noting that many patients prefer drug-based therapies despite a lack of strong evidence regarding their effectiveness and safety.
- After analyzing twenty-one recent studies, the review identifies trends such as the rise of minor cannabinoids, decentralized research methods, and the use of objective measures in trials.
- It emphasizes the urgent need for more rigorous, well-funded clinical trials with longer durations and larger participant groups to provide clearer guidance for clinicians and patients.
Respiratory issues and current management in neuromuscular diseases: a narrative review.
J Thorac Dis
September 2024
Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Background And Objective: Respiratory care is often embedded as a component of the overlapping management strategies in many patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD). Implementation of respiratory care strategies requires a sensitivity to the nature of the disease, the vulnerability during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and complicating comorbidities specific to each patient. Care must adjust to progression of the disease as well as the comfort and preferences of the patient.
