Background: Non-drug therapy is a common clinical treatment for chronic insomnia, and the effect of happiness perception training group based on five senses therapy on chronic insomnia has not been evaluated.
Objective: This study investigated the effects of happy sensation training group on anxiety, depression and insomnia symptoms in patients with chronic insomnia disorder.
Methods: A prospective, assessor-blind, randomized controlled design was used. Adult patients with chronic insomnia were recruited from the Sleep Medicine Center of Sichuan Provincial Center for Mental Health. Participants in the training group received 10 sessions of hospital-based happy sensation training group therapy and three months of home exercises. The control group received health instruction. Results included anxiety, depression, and insomnia and were assessed at baseline, 2-week intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Polysomnography was performed at baseline and 2-week intervention. Two-way repeated measure ANOVA and Nonparametric test were used for data analysis.
Results: 42 patients in the training group and 43 patients in the control group accomplished 3-month follow-up. There was no significant difference in anxiety, depression, insomnia and sleep Characteristics between training group and control group at baseline ( > 0.05). Compared with the control group, anxiety, depression and insomnia were improved in the training group after 2 weeks and at the 3-month follow-up ( < 0.05), sleep latency was shortened ( < 0.001), and sleep efficiency, total sleep time and N2 phase sleep were increased ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Happiness sensation training group can effectively improve the anxiety and depression of chronic insomnia patients, so as to improve insomnia. Given its acceptability and practicality, the program could be incorporated into routine treatment.

A one-pot process involving cycloaddition of the azaoxyallyl cation with thioamide and a synchronous E1-type elimination of the C2 amino group from the cycloadduct is disclosed, leading to diverse alkylidene-4-thiazolidinones. Amine elimination under acid-free conditions or without quaternization and forging a stereoselective olefin formation were among the interesting reactivity traits revealed through the present work. Conjugated thioamide permitted side-chain branching through a three-component process.

House dust mite (HDM) allergens are one of the most important causes of allergenic diseases in the indoor environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined risk thresholds for Group I HDM allergens as a concentration of 2 and 10 μg/mL in dust for producing asthma risk and polar asthma attacks, respectively. Continuing exposure to high concentrations of HDM allergens greatly increases the risk of developing allergic diseases.

Background: The prevalence of depressive symptoms, apathy, and cognitive decline increases with age. Understanding the temporal dynamics of these symptoms could provide valuable insights into the early stages of cognitive decline, allowing for more timely and effective treatment and management.
Methods: Participants from the Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care (preDIVA) trial cohort with baseline and ≥3 follow-up measurements were included, with a median of 7.

Background: Deprescribing by physicians based on the suggestions of community pharmacists is useful to ensure medication safety. Pharmacist-led deprescribing is not always implemented smoothly because of communication gaps between physicians and pharmacists. Our previous study found that assertiveness, as a communication style, is associated with pharmacist-initiated prescription changes for medication safety; however, its association with community pharmacist-led deprescribing is unclear.

Background: The importance of health literacy in personal health management is widely recognised in the general population, yet remains poorly understood in some patient groups, including people with spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D).
Objectives: The systematic review had two objectives: (1) to determine the health literacy levels of individuals with SCI/D, and (2) to identify facilitators and barriers to developing health literacy in this group.
Methods: Seven databases (CINAHL, Embase, Emcare, ProQuest, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science) were searched from inception, with an updated search completed on January 21, 2025.
