Mortality outcomes in trials of low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer are inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate whether CT urban areas China could reduce mortality and investigate the factors that associate with effect. A decision tree model three scenarios (low-dose screening, chest X-ray no screening) was developed compare results a simulated Chinese cohort (100,000 smokers aged 45–80 years). Data participant characteristics were obtained from national registries...

fMRI studies showed that acupuncture could induce hemodynamic changes in brain networks. Many of these focused on whether specific acupoints activate regions and were often limited to manual at the limbs. In this study, we investigated acupuncture's modulation effects functional networks by electroacupuncture (EA) midline abdomen. Acupoints Guanyuan (CV4) Zhongwan (CV12) stimulated 21 healthy volunteers. The needling sensations, activation, connectivity studied. We found limbic-prefrontal...
