Introduction: Approximately 0.5 million fatalities per year are attributed to substance use disorder (SUD). SUD is refractory to therapy and has a high relapse rate. Cognitive deficits are also common in patients with SUD. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a promising treatment that may build resilience and reduce relapse among people with SUD. Our planned systematic review aims to clarify the effect of CBT on resilience and the relapse rate in adult patients with SUD compared with treatment as usual or no intervention.
Methods And Analysis: We will search the Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, EBSCO CINAHL, EMBASE and PsycINFO databases from inception to July 2023 for all relevant randomised controlled or quasiexperimental trials published in English. The follow-up period of included studies must be at least 8 weeks. The PICO (Population, intervention, control, and outcome) format was used to develop the search strategy. Search terms will be combined using boolean operators and have been customised for different databases. The Cochrane tool for randomised controlled trials will be used to assess the risk of bias in included studies. Extracted data will include bibliographic data, sample size, intervention method, summary of the findings, follow-up duration and effect sizes with standard errors. A random effects model will be used to combine effect measures. Subgroup analyses will be performed by CBT type, sex and SUD subtype, as applicable. I statistics will be used to evaluate heterogeneity, and funnel plots will be used to address publication bias. If we detect significant heterogeneity, the findings will be reported as a systematic review without a meta-analysis.
Ethics And Dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this study. The findings will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Background: Nurses face significant risks of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which adversely affects workplace safety and productivity. Yet, the extent of EDS in this workforce remains inadequately characterized.
Aim: The aims of this systematic review were to assess the pooled prevalence of EDS among nurses.

Aim: To systematically review the literature on the surgical and non-surgical methods for managing peri-implantitis.
Materials And Methods: An electronic search for randomised controlled trials published between 2019 and 2023 in the English language was performed with the Medline/PubMed database according to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The specific search terms were "periimplantitis", "non-surgical treatment", "surgical treatment" and combinations of these terms.

Background: The prehospital use of blood lactate measurements is increasing. However, the test's benefits have not been methodically evaluated in non-trauma patients. This study had three aims: (1) To assess the evidence of prehospital blood lactate measurements' prognostic value in non-trauma patients, (2) to investigate to what extent the test changed early patient treatment, and (3) to evaluate the healthcare personnel's attitude towards the test.
