Aim: Suvorexant is an orexin receptor antagonist (ORA) for the treatment of insomnia. The antagonistic action of suvorexant on orexin receptors is associated with an increase in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which can potentially lead to nightmares depending on the patient's condition. However, the precise risk factors for nightmares among patients taking ORAs, such as suvorexant, have yet to be identified. In this retrospective study, we aimed to identify the risk factors for the development of nightmares in patients treated with suvorexant.
Methods: The risk factors were determined by comparing parameters between the nightmare group and the nonnightmare group. This study included 440 patients who received suvorexant at the University of Miyazaki Hospital from April 2014 to January 2021.
Results: We found that 9.1% (n = 40) of the patients experienced suvorexant-induced nightmares. There was a significant difference in the median age, which was lower in the nightmare group than in the nonnightmare group (p < 0.01). Furthermore, both multiple logistic regression analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed increased odds ratios for nightmares for individuals aged 20-39 years.
Conclusions: This study revealed that elderly patients taking suvorexant had fewer nightmares than nonelderly patients did.

Rationale: Established coronary artery disease (CAD) patients are at increased risk for recurrence of cardiovascular events and mortality due to non-attainment of recommended risk factor control targets.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the attainment of treatment targets for risk factor control among CAD patients as recommended in the Indonesian CVD prevention guidelines.

Background: Ultra-low rectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) presents technical challenges due to anatomical features. The objective of this research was to determine the risk factors linked to unsuccessful curative resections and to create a nomogram predictive model to assess the likelihood of encountering technical challenges.
Methods: Patients with ultra-low rectal tumors received ESD form June 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively enrolled.

We investigated if selected polymorphisms in DNA repair genes modify the association between exposure to particulate matter ≤ 10 micron in diameter (PM) and breast cancer (BCa) risk. We included 150,929 postmenopausal women (5,969 with BCa) from UK Biobank, a population-based prospective cohort. Cancer diagnoses were ascertained through the linkage to the UK National Health Service Central Registers.

The involvement of axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) is a critical prognostic factor affecting patient management and outcomes in breast cancer (BC). This study aims to comprehensively analyze the clinical data of BC patients, evaluate ultrasonic signs of ALNs, and explore the implications of a prediction model for ALN metastasis (ALNM) in early-stage BC patients based on ultrasonic features and clinical data. This study retrospectively analyzed ultrasonic features and clinical data from 216 patients diagnosed with unilateral invasive BC.
