Sleep Quality in Chronic Pain Patients With and Without Strong Opioid Use: An Observational Study Using a Wearable Device

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 45, Issue 3, September 2025.
Low‐dose strong opioids improved sleep efficiency in chronic pain patients, whereas high doses (≥ 60 mg MEDD) impaired sleep. Wearable device and self‐report data highlight the need for careful opioid titration and sleep monitoring to balance analgesia with preservation of sleep quality.

Diffuse Osteosclerosis in a Young Cat Presenting With Chronic Nasal Congestion: A Case Report

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Chronic upper airway congestion is a common presenting complaint in feline patients. This report describes the imaging findings in a cat in which upper airway signs were due in part to a systemic bone pathology that was also leading to decreased mobility. Computed tomography (CT) revealed diffuse osteosclerosis.

Next Generation Sequencing Improves Diagnostic 16S rRNA Amplicon‐Based Microbiota Analyses of Clinical Samples Compared to Sanger Sequencing

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is an important tool in addition to conventional methods for the identification of bacterial pathogens in human infections. In polymicrobial samples, Sanger sequencing can produce uninterpretable chromatograms.
