Background: Therapeutic monitoring is routinely performed to ensure tacrolimus whole-blood concentrations fall within a predefined target. Despite this, patients still experience inefficacy and toxicity that could be related to variability in free (unbound) tacrolimus exposure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare tacrolimus-free plasma (C u ), total plasma (C p ), and whole-blood (C wb ) concentrations in adult kidney transplant recipients and to characterize tacrolimus disposition across different matrices.

Purpose: Pancreatectomy patients often experience challenging fluctuations in blood glucose levels; therefore, they require a reliable monitoring system. This study aimed to determine the accuracy and acceptability of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system compared with the intermittent capillary glucose test in patients who have undergone pancreatectomy.
Methods: Thirty non-diabetic pancreatectomy patients participated.

Background: Intraoperative physiologic parameters could offer predictive utility in evaluating risk of adverse postoperative events yet are not included in current standard risk models. This study examined whether the inclusion of continuous intraoperative data improved machine learning model predictions for multiple outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting, including 30-day mortality, renal failure, reoperation, prolonged ventilation, and combined morbidity and mortality (MM).
Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) database features and risk scores were combined with retrospectively gathered continuous intraoperative data from patients.

Although prior studies have examined associations of personality traits with sleep, most have investigated self-reported sleep, been cross-sectional, and focused on younger and middle-aged adults. We investigated associations of personality with actigraphic sleep parameters and changes in sleep in 398 cognitively normal adults aged 40-95 years (M ± SD = 70.1 ± 12.

Background: Intermittent hypoxia, a consequence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), may contribute to an increased risk of cognitive decline. However, the association between SDB and cognition remains highly variable.
Methods: Fifty-two community-dwelling healthy older adults (28 women) were recruited.
