Intensive Sleep Retraining is a behavioral treatment for sleep onset insomnia that produces substantial benefits in symptoms after a single treatment session. This technique involves falling asleep and waking up shortly afterward repeatedly: a process that is thought to retrain people to fall asleep quickly when attempting sleep. Although originally confined to the sleep laboratory, recent technological developments mean that this technique is feasible to self-administer at home. With multiple randomised controlled trials required to confirm its efficacy, Intensive Sleep Retraining may serve as an adjunctive treatment to cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, improving short-term efficacy by kick-starting treatment gains.

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) presents challenges in intensive care units (ICUs) calling for reliable prediction of violence. This narrative review aimed to identify and evaluate risk assessment tools from acute care settings which are or might be used to predict violent behavior in adult ICU patients focusing on their performance and clinical utility.
Methods: A screening of PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar was conducted to identify risk scores used in the acute care setting such as emergency departments, hospitals and ICUs.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies represents a major advancement in the treatment of refractory hematologic malignancies, with high remission rates for relapsed B-cell lymphomas and leukemias. However, it is associated with a broad spectrum of potentially life-threatening toxicities, many of which require intensive care unit (ICU) management. Key complications include Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Immune Effector Cell-associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS), as well as severe infections, Immune Effector Cell-associated Hematotoxicity (ICAHT), coagulopathies, and organ dysfunctions resulting from the intense inflammatory response induced by CAR T-cells.
