Background: Insomnia is prevalent among patients receiving treatment for long-term musculoskeletal complaints in inpatient rehabilitation settings. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is effective for improving sleep quality in patients with pain, but a lack of therapists often limits the capacity to use this therapy in rehabilitation programs. The aim of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effectiveness of app-delivered CBT-I adjunct to inpatient multimodal rehabilitation for individuals with comorbid musculoskeletal complaints and insomnia, compared with rehabilitation (usual care) only.
Methods: This RCT has two parallel arms: 1) inpatient multimodal rehabilitation and 2) app-delivered CBT-I adjunct to inpatient multimodal rehabilitation. Patients referred to Unicare Helsefort (Norway) with long-term chronic musculoskeletal complaints are invited to the study. Eligible and consenting participants will be randomized to the intervention and usual care at a ratio of 2:1. Assessments will be carried out at baseline (prior to randomization), 6 weeks (at the end of rehabilitation), 3 months (primary outcome), as well as 6 and 12 months after the rehabilitation. The primary outcome is insomnia severity measured at 3 months. Secondary outcomes include pain intensity, health-related quality of life, fatigue, physical function, work ability, expectations about sick leave length, sick leave, and prescribed medication. Exploratory analyses are planned to identify moderators and mediators of the effect of the app-delivered intervention.
Discussion: This RCT will provide novel knowledge about the effectiveness of app-delivered CBT-I as an adjunct to usual care among patients participating in inpatient multimodal pain rehabilitation. Regardless of the results from this trial, the results will improve our understanding of the utility of dCBT-I in the field of rehabilitation and the importance of adding sleep therapy to this patient group.
Trial Registration: This trial was prospectively registered in ClinicalTrials.gov October 10, 2022 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05572697).

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the axilla, inframammary folds, buttocks, inner thighs, and anogenital regions. Patients with moderate to severe HS often seek care in the emergency department and may require hospitalization; however, the lack of clear admission criteria and management guidelines presents significant challenges. To address these issues, we conducted a clinical review aimed at hospitalists and consulting dermatologists considering hospital admission for patients experiencing severe HS flares.

Efficacy of Antimicrobial Dry Fog in Improving the Environmental Microbial Burden in an Inpatient Ward.

In healthcare environments with high microbial loads, effective infection control measures are critical for reducing airborne and surface contamination. One of the novel modalities in the achievement of these goals is the use of antimicrobial mists, such as droplets, in the form of dry fog. Although the usage of dry fog in the disinfection of contained healthcare microenvironments is well known, the effect of such a system in terms of a meaningful reduction in the microbial burden in an open inpatient ward is unclear.

Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) arising in the body or tail of the pancreas can be amenable to laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with or without concomitant splenectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for SPN using the Warshaw technique as a means to preserve spleens in children.
Methods: We reviewed our database of SPN patients 19 years and younger (January 2006-December 2023).
Impact of diagnostic stewardship on catheter-associated urinary tract infections and patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a computerized clinical decision support tool for urine cultures in patients with indwelling urinary catheters, focusing on improving diagnostic appropriateness and reducing unnecessary tests.
- The intervention was associated with a significant reduction in the number of urine cultures performed, but it did not lead to a noticeable decrease in catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) rates.
- Adverse outcomes from averted cultures were minimal, suggesting that diagnostic stewardship can be safely integrated into practices to limit unnecessary testing while maintaining patient safety.
