Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) has been the subject of increasing research over the past decade owing to its effects on morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of ACS in patients in an onco-hematological pediatric intensive care unit in a middle-income country and to analyze patient outcomes. This prospective cohort study was conducted between May 2015 and October 2017. Altogether, 253 patients were admitted to the PICU, and 54 fulfilled the inclusion criteria for intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurements. IAP was measured using the intra-bladder indirect technique with a closed system (AbViser AutoValve, Wolfle Tory Medical Inc., USA) in patients with clinical indications for indwelling bladder catheterization. Definitions from the World Society for ACS were used. The data were entered into a database and analyzed. The median age was 5.79 years, and the median pediatric risk of mortality score was 7.1. The incidence of ACS was 27.7%. Fluid resuscitation was a significant risk factor for ACS in the univariate analysis. The mortality rates in the ACS and non-ACS groups were 46.6% and 17.9%, respectively (P < 0.05). This is the first study of ACS in critically ill children with cancer. Conclusion: The incidence and mortality rates were high, justifying IAP measurement in children with ACS risk factors.

Background: Tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancers (TBL cancers) pose a significant global health challenge, with rising incidence and mortality rates, particularly in China. Studies from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), 2021, can guide screening and prevention strategies for TBL cancer. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the burden of TBL cancers in China compared to global data.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To determine if there is a difference in reoperations for adjacent segment disease (operative ASD) and nonunion (operative nonunion) in lumbar fusions that stop at T10/T11/T12 versus L1.
Summary Of Background Data: Current lumbar spine surgery is based on the belief that ASD occurs if fusions are stopped at L1 although there is varying evidence to support this assumption.

Objective: We aimed to examine the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition often caused by obesity, which remains unclear.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey among adults in the United States (US) aged 20 to 65 years, covering the periods 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to 2018. The study included 8278 participants; we used multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analyses to explore the relationship between WWI and OSA.

Background: Women and sexual minority individuals have been found to be at higher risk for experiencing poor sleep health compared to their counterparts. However, research on the sleep health of sexual minority women (SMW) is lacking in China.
Objective: This study aimed to examine sleep quality and social support for Chinese women with varied sexual identities, and then investigate the in-depth relationships between sexual identity and sleep.
