Quality of sleep in individuals with systemic sclerosis and its correlation with functional disability and quality of life: a cross-sectional study.
This study aimed to evaluate the quality of sleep in individuals with systemic sclerosis and its correlation with the quality of life and disability. ⋯ This study showed that poor sleep quality is a very common finding among systemic sclerosis patients, and it negatively affects both the quality of life and the degree of disability. Sleep quality is an unmet need in patients with systemic sclerosis Poor sleep quality is very common in patients with systemic sclerosis Poor sleep quality correlated with worse quality of life and greater disability.

A practical predictive model to predict 30-day mortality in neonatal sepsis.
Neonatal sepsis is a serious disease that needs timely and immediate medical attention. So far, there is no specific prognostic biomarkers or model for dependable predict outcomes in neonatal sepsis. The aim of this study was to establish a predictive model based on readily available laboratory data to assess 30-day mortality in neonatal sepsis. ⋯ We established a predictive model that can objectively and accurately predict individualized risk of 30-day mortality. The predictive model should help clinicians to improve individual treatment, make clinical decisions, and guide follow-up management strategies.

Evaluation of maternal serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels in fetal growth restriction and gestational hypertensive disease.
The objective of this study was to determine serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels in preeclampsia, eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and the presence of fetal growth restriction subgroups. ⋯ Serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels are similar between pregnancies complicated with gestational hypertensive disease and normotensive pregnancies. However, serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels were found to be lower in pregnancies complicated with gestational hypertensive disease with the presence of fetal growth restriction.
