Objective: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an important curative treatment option for many hematologic diseases. Sleep disorders in patients with HSCT are a significant but often overlooked health problem. Therefore, this study aims to determine the frequency of sleep disorders in HSCT patients and to compare and evaluate the data before and after transplantation between autologous and allogeneic HSCT patient groups.
Patients And Methods: Patients who were referred to the Bone Marrow Transplantation Centre Clinic at Medicana International Istanbul Hospital by other centres and those who were suitable for HSCT treatment according to evaluations were included in the study. The patients underwent allogeneic and autologous HSCT. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were applied to both groups before transplantation and on the 7th and 100th days after transplantation.
Results: The PSQI total and sub-scale scores, ESS scores and ISI scores on the 7th and 100th days after transplantation were statistically significantly lower than the scores before transplantation.
Conclusions: Sleep disorders were significantly reduced in patients after HSCT. Moreover, the scores in the seven subscales of the PSQI statistically significantly decreased on the 7th and 100th days after transplantation, and sleep statistically improved and showed great improvement on the 100th day after transplantation. We believe that early detection and treatment of sleep disorders may be beneficial for this group of patients to improve their quality of life and response to treatment.

Objective: The pathophysiology of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is not fully elucidated. The lack of accurate diagnostic tools increases the probability of delayed diagnosis and timely treatment. The authors assessed the relationship of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (F2-IsoP) and oxidative stress biomarkers, nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), with DCI after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

The Psychiatric Consultation Service at Massachusetts General Hospital sees medical and surgical inpatients with comorbid psychiatric symptoms and conditions. During their twice-weekly rounds, Dr Stern and other members of the Consultation Service discuss diagnosis and management of hospitalized patients with complex medical or surgical problems who also demonstrate psychiatric symptoms or conditions. These discussions have given rise to rounds reports that will prove useful for clinicians practicing at the interface of medicine and psychiatry.

Background: Occupational burnout, resulting from long-term exposure to work-related stressors, is a significant risk factor for both physical and mental health of employees. Most research on burnout focuses on routine situations, with less attention given to its causes and manifestations during prolonged national crises such as war. According to the Conservation of Resources theory, wartime conditions are associated with a loss of resources, leading to accelerated burnout.

Background: Psychosocial interventions encompass psychotherapy and psychological education that explicitly target psychosocial adaptation. These interventions have been shown to have a substantial positive effect on reducing anxiety and depression, as well as improving overall quality of life (QoL). Nevertheless, there is still no consensus concerning the therapeutic effectiveness of these interventions.
