Sleep Beliefs, Pre-Sleep Behaviors, and Sleep Quality
"Sleep Beliefs, Pre-Sleep Behaviors, and Sleep Quality: Implications for Sleep Behaviors and Health" examines the influence of individual beliefs and behaviors related to sleep on overall sleep quality and health. Key aspects include common sleep beliefs, such as expectations for perfect sleep and misconceptions about recovery from sleep loss, which can contribute to sleep anxiety and counterproductive habits. Additionally, pre-sleep behaviors, like exposure to electronic devices and consumption of stimulants, can disrupt sleep, whereas relaxation practices promote better sleep quality. Understanding these factors is essential, as poor sleep quality is linked to various health issues, including cognitive impairment, cardiovascular disease, and weakened immune function. The entry underscores the importance of healthy sleep beliefs and behaviors for well-being.

Hydrocortisone in Community Acquired Pneumonia
Summary of Key Findings Oxygenation and Respiratory Outcomes: Hydrocortisone significantly improved oxygenation (PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio) and increased the number of mechanical ventilation-free days. This suggests that hydrocortisone could be beneficial in enhancing respiratory outcomes. Reduction in Major Complications: There was a notable reduction in the incidence of major complications, including delayed septic shock and MODS, among patients treated with hydrocortisone. Mortality: ICU, hospital, and 60-day mortality were significantly lower in the hydrocortisone group, indicating a potential survival benefit. Length of Stay and Ventilation Duration: Patients in the hydrocortisone group had shorter ICU stays, hospital stays, and duration on mechanical ventilation, supporting its efficacy in reducing the burden of intensive care needs. Safety Profile: Although complications like ARDS, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and acute renal failure were monitored, there were no significant increases in these adverse events with hydrocortisone. This supports its safety profile in the ICU setting.
