Lighting interventions can mitigate fatigue by promoting circadian rhythmicity. We test whether individualized, wearable-based lighting interventions delivered via a mobile app reduce cancer-related fatigue in a randomized controlled trial with 138 breast cancer, prostate cancer, and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. Participants are randomized to tailored lighting intervention or control. The primary endpoint is PROMIS fatigue 4a at trial end, with secondary endpoints including change in daily fatigue, sleep, anxiety, depression, physical function, and overall health. Fatigue T-scores at week 11 do not differ between groups but decrease significantly from week 1 to week 11 (3.07 points, p = 0.001) in the intervention group, with a significant final-week treatment effect (p = 0.014). Daily fatigue, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and physical function improve within intervention. Further studies are needed to see if these results generalize in broader cancer care. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (trial registration number: NCT04827446).

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy in aortic stenosis patients scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
ESC Heart Fail

Aims: The prevalences of aortic stenosis (AS) and transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) increase with age. Identification of occult ATTR-CM in patients with AS can help explain out-of-proportion myocardial dysfunction, aid in prognostication and prompt initiation of disease-modifying treatment. Studies have suggested that many patients referred for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have concomitant ATTR-CM, but some have included unverified ATTR-CM in patients with ambiguous scintigrams.

Agri-food waste (AFW) represents a significant fraction of the material generated by the agri-food industry, which itself accounts for almost one-third of the annual global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Considering the growing global population and the consequent rise in food demand, the management and valorization of this waste are essential to ensure the sustainability of the entire food chain for future generations. Recycling agri-food waste offers a promising strategy to mitigate the sector's environmental impact, particularly when the waste consists of food-grade materials that enhance its intrinsic value.

Objective: Falls in brain rehabilitation centers can negatively impact patient recovery, increase injury risk, and adversely affect rehabilitation outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the incidence of falls and identify associated risk factors among patients with brain lesions in a tertiary hospital's brain rehabilitation center from June 2021 to May 2024.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted to examine patient characteristics, fall-related risk factors, functional assessments, and circumstances surrounding falls.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the disparity in culture results between sterilization and high-level disinfection (HLD) for duodenoscopes and linear endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and to assess the effectiveness of different bacterial contamination detection methods.
Methods: This is a prospective randomized study, including duodenoscopes and linear EUS with adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay values below 200 relative light units after manual cleaning which were randomly assigned to undergo either sterilization or HLD in a 1:1 ratio. Following disinfection, all endoscopes were subjected to adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay testing and cultures using both swab and liquid samples from endoscope channels.
