Caregiver health is a crucial public concern due to the increasing number of elderly people with disabilities. Elderly caregivers are more likely have poorer and be care recipient than younger caregivers. The Taiwan government offers home-based long-term (LTC) services provide formal decrease burden This study examined effects LTC on caregiver according age. cross-sectional included simple random sample recipients their had used under Ten-Year Long-Term Care Project (TLTCP) in Taiwan. Data...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent in Taiwan. More than two-thirds of end-stage renal associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) or hypertension (HTN). Therefore, the formulation a special preventative policy CKD these patients essential. This study surveyed 14 traditional risk factors and identified their effects on HTN/DM compared general population.This included 5328 cases 5135 controls CKD/HTN/DM outpatient health centres 10 hospitals from 2008 to 2010. Fourteen common effect...
Total knee replacement (TKR) is considered as one of the most success among clinical interventions for patients with who suffering from osteoarthritis (OA). We sought to estimate incidence TKR using demographics, rates, lengths hospital stay, and costs 1996 2010 by analyzing Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. A total 154,553 obtained primary surgery between 2010. The diagnosis code OA procedure were selected records. To compare rate covariables, we calculated risk ratios...
The COVID-19 outbreak has not only changed the lifestyles of people globally but also resulted in other challenges, such as requirement self-isolation and distance learning. Moreover, are unable to venture out exercise, leading reduced movement, therefore, demand for exercise at home increased.We intended investigate relationships between a Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure (RFA) intervention improvements running time, cardiac force index (CFI), sleep quality (Chinese version Pittsburgh Sleep...
Background: Empowering personal health records (PHRs) provides basic human right, awareness, and intention for promotion. As care delivery changes toward patient-centered services, PHRs become an indispensable platform consumers providers. Recently, the government introduced "My bank," a Web-based electronic medical (EMRs) repository consumers. However, it is not yet PHR. To date, we do have that can let patients manage their own Objective: This study creates vision of value-added data...
Objectives The health of physicians is an important topic which needs to be addressed in order provide the best quality patient care. However, there are few studies on prevalence chronic diseases among physicians. In this study, we explored and compared probability between general population using a population-based data set Taiwan. Study design A cross-sectional study. Setting Participants Our study consisted 1426 practising 5704 participants. Primary outcome measures We chose 22 from...
Abstract Accurate identification of smoking behaviour is crucial to monitor the rate. This study used urinary cotinine (UC) as a biomarker verify effectiveness self-reported among conscripts during recruit training. The influence second-hand smoke (SHS) on UC concentration was also analysed. A cross-sectional conducted from July 2014 December 2014. participants comprised total 621 military service and basic training conscripts. self-administered questionnaire survey urine test were performed...
Objectives To use the extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to predict smoking cessation counsellors’ intentions offer support. Design Cross-sectional study Setting Taiwanese military Participants A survey 432 counsellors was conducted in 2017. Primary and secondary outcome measures All participants completed a self-administered questionnaire that solicited information concerning demographics, behaviour, self-rated suitability for being counsellor, knowledge skills learnt from training...
We compared our clinical experience with currently available reference oxygen saturation level (SpO(2)) values from the American Academy of Pediatrics/American Heart Association (AAP/AHA) neonatal resuscitation program guidelines.We enrolled 145 healthy full-term neonates; infants showing respiratory distress and those serious congenital anomalies were excluded. SpO(2) at every 1 minute until 10 minutes after birth measured recorded. Infants classified into cesarean section (CS) normal...
Flaviviruses comprise several medically important viruses, including Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile dengue virus (DENV), yellow fever and Zika (ZIKV). A large outbreak of DENV ZIKV occurred recently, leading to many cases illness death. However, despite decades effort, we have no clinically specific therapeutic drugs against ZIKV. Previous studies showed that inflammatory responses play a critical role in pathogenesis.
Skin grafts are not suitable for closing tendon- or bone-exposing wounds, which require flap surgery. Dermal regeneration templates have value such but the disadvantages of technique include implantation failures because infection, hematoma formation, inappropriate immobilization. Negative-pressure wound therapy was reported to increase graft acceptance in difficult wounds.This retrospective case series 65 patients evaluated negative-pressure combined with artificial dermis treatment acute...
Diabetes-related lower extremity amputations are an enormous burden on global health care and social resources because of the rapid worldwide growth diabetic population. This research aimed to determine risk factors that predict major amputation analyse time interval from first hospitalisation by using standard management protocols Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Data 246 patients with diabetes mellitus foot ulcers Division Plastic Reconstructive Surgery Department at XXX Hospital between...
Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of various types bullying victimization among adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and examine effects on mental health ASD.Methods: The sample was collected from Special Needs Education Longitudinal Study (SNELS) database released in 2011. Variables comprising seven psychological distress (PD) items four family-, school-, peer-related factors were included a multivariate regression analysis.Results: Exclusion verbal most frequently reported,...
With aging, pressure ulcers become a common health problem causing significant morbidity and mortality for physically limited or bedridden elderly persons. Here, we present our strategy such patients. Between August 2010 March 2019, 117 patients were enrolled. Patient age, etiology, defect size location, flap reconstruction, outcome, follow-up period reviewed. Of these patients, 64 female 53 male, with an age range of 21 to 96 years (mean 75.6). The mean area was 61.5 cm. most etiology...
Abstract Smoking rates in the military are evaluated through questionnaire surveying. Because accurate identification of smokers facilitates provision smoking cessation services, this study conducted urine cotinine concentration testing to verify accuracy self-reported behavior by female volunteer soldiers and analyzed effects second-hand on concentrations. This is a cross-sectional using purposive sampling receiving training at Taichung Recruit Training Center May 2014. simultaneously...
Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) are mosquito-borne flaviviruses that cause severe illness after infection. Currently, there no specific or effective treatments against DENV ZIKV. Previous studies have shown tyrosine kinase activities signal transduction involved in flavivirus replication, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for In this study, we found compound L3 can significantly reduce viral protein expression titers HEK-293, MCF-7, HepG2, Huh-7 cells exhibits superior efficacy...
Military aircrew are occupationally exposed to a high-G environment. A tolerance test and surveillance is necessary for military before flight training. cardiac force index (CFI) has been developed assess long-distance running by health technology. We added the parameter CFI G elucidated relationship between tolerance. noninvasive device, BioHarness 3.0, was used measure heart rate (HR) activity while resting walking on ground. The formula calculating function = weight × activity/HR. Cardiac...
Background Physicians are considered to be the most informed consumers in use of medical services since they have more information about diseases or technology. However, although plenty researchers suggested that different seeking behavior exists among physicians, very few empirical studies been conducted investigate differences utilization between physicians and general population.
