Purpose: To describe the temporal association between leg movements (LMs) and respiratory events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to quantify the difference in scoring respiratory-related leg movement (RRLM) between the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) criterion and the criterion recommended by the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM).
Methods: Patients with OSA who presented with > 10 LMs of any type per hour of sleep were included in this study. For each participant, RRLMs were scored using both the AASM criterion and the recommended WASM criterion. The occurrence of LMs in relation to respiratory events and the difference in scoring RRLM between the AASM criterion and the criterion recommended by the WASM were quantified.
Results: In 32 patients enrolled, mean age was 48.1 ± 11.0 years and 78% were men. LMs were significantly more frequent after respiratory events, followed by before respiratory events, and were rare during respiratory events (P < 0.01). Compared with the AASM criterion, more LMs were classified as RRLMs based on the recommended WASM criterion (P = 0.01).
Conclusion: LMs are more frequent after respiratory events than before and during respiratory events, and more LMs are scored as RRLMs based on the recommended WASM criterion than based on the AASM criterion.

Background: The impact of incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into standard chemotherapy on the severity and risk of myelosuppression in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains uncertain.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated ICIs in people with NSCLC. A comprehensive search of four databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, was carried out from inception to 30 October 2023.

Background: After-hours pediatric anesthesia may pose increased risks, with a heightened potential for sudden cardio-respiratory decline. While mortality rates are low in Australia and New Zealand, critical events and morbidity occur more frequently and present ongoing challenges. However, little is known about how trainees are supervised during these high-risk periods.

Background: Iatrogenic pneumothorax is a common complication of diagnostic and therapeutic pulmonary procedures. New guidelines on primary spontaneous pneumothorax suggest ambulatory approaches may be suitable. However, guidance on iatrogenic pneumothorax occurring in patients with impaired lung function, increased age, comorbidity and frailty is lacking, and the safety profile of ambulatory management is not known.
