Objective Nosocomial infections are one of the severe postoperative complications that compromise perioperative safety in patients with colon cancer. However, there limited studies on constructing visual risk prediction screening tools for nosocomial these patients. The objective this study is to construct a nomogram predicting among after cancer surgery. Methods Total 1146 surgery were selected and divided into training set validation set. After identifying most significant predictors...
Purpose. Aromatherapy massage is an alternative treatment in reducing the pain of cancer patients. This study was to investigate whether aromatherapy could improve Methods. We searched PubMed and Cochrane Library for relevant randomized controlled trials without language limitations between 1 January 1990 31 July 2015 with a priori defined inclusion exclusion criteria. The search terms included aromatherapy, essential oil, pain, ache, cancer, tumor, carcinoma. There were 7 studies which met...
Postcraniotomy meningitis (PCM) is a major challenge in neurosurgery, and changing patterns of infectious agents PCM have been noted. The limited epidemiological data urgent clinical needs motivated this research. We conducted study to determine risk assessment for the current pattern agents. performed retrospective case-control significant cases postcraniotomy Changhua Christian Hospital System between January 1, 2008, December 31, 2012. was diagnosed 22 out 4392 surgical patients; reviewed...
Background: There is emerging evidence that the increased susceptibility to developing alcohol and substance use dis- orders in those with a family history of Alcohol Dependence (AD) may be related structural differences brain circuits influence salience rewards or modify efficiency information processing. Externalizing disorders childhood including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Oppositional Disorders are prominent feature positive history. The caudate nuclei have been...
As of December 2022, 2603 laboratory-identified Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infections and 935 associated deaths, with a mortality rate 36%, had been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, there are still no vaccines for MERS-CoV, which makes prevention control MERS-CoV difficult. In this study, we generated two DNA vaccine candidates by integrating Spike (S) gene into replicating Vaccinia Tian Tan (VTT) vector. Compared homologous immunization...
Abstract: Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a polymer of the monomer N ‐vinylpyrrolidone with various molecular weights, was originally developed as plasma expander. Currently, it is widely used in hair sprays, skin care products, fruit juices, and retarding agent drugs such procaine hormones. PVP polymers weight greater than 20,000 cannot be excreted by kidneys therefore are phagocytosed permanently stored reticular endothelial system, leading to so‐called storage disease. We report case...
Conclusion Multi-level surgeries for the nasal cavity and palate can reduce severity of obstructive sleep apnea with major narrowing above retropalatal airway carotid intima-media thickness, which provide cardiovascular benefits to patients. Objective To evaluate outcomes moderate-to-severe syndrome by change internal artery thickness after surgeries. Subjects methods Sixty-four patients apnea, at cavity, airways were enrolled in this study. Fifty-two underwent surgery modified...
The aims of this study were to examine unfavorable attitudes toward receiving methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) and associated factors among inmates using intravenous heroin in Taiwan. A total 315 recruited. Their MMT after discharge from prison evaluated the Client Attitudes Toward Methadone Programs Scale. associations with sociodemographic drug-using characteristics, human immunodeficiency virus serostatus, perceived family support, depression examined multiple regression analysis....
Data on the economic burden of hospital-acquired lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) among high risk hospitalized patients are lacking in China. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap. We used a prospective matched cohort design, comparing with LRTIs and 1:1 without LRTIs. Study period was from January 2013 December 2015 analyzing inpatients wards – intensive care unit (ICU), dialysis, hematology, etc. tertiary hospital. Hospital information system hospital surveillance were applied...
Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoantibodies-mediated autoimmune disease with the complications of neuromuscular junction transmission. In this study, we aimed to investigate molecular regulatory roles pentaxin 3 (PTX3) in patients and animal model MG explore its underlying mechanism. Methods: Patients were identified enrolled at our designated hospital was utilized for proposed study. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit used quantify IL-1β, IL-6, INF-γ, IL-17, TNF-α,...
In this study, we intended to genotype 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) genes and explore an association TNFAIP3 genetic polymorphism with the patients myasthenia gravis (MG) at clinical level. brief, 215 adult MG were divided into subgroups according their features, age onset, thymic pathology, autoantibodies. Two hundred thirty-five healthy controls also gender- age-matched. The allele frequencies subgrouped found be higher...
Recent years have seen massive time-series data generated in many areas. This different scenario brings new challenges, particularly terms of ingestion, where existing technologies struggle to handle such data, leading low loading speed and poor timeliness. To address these this paper presents MatrixGate, a efficient ingestion approach for data. MatrixGate implements both single-instance multi-instance parallel procedures, which is based on its unique strategies. First, uses policies tune...
To construct a predictive nomogram of the risk nosocomial infections among patients after cardiac valve replacement surgery.Nosocomial are standout challenge that worsens prognosis surgery. However, studies on in these have remained scarce.A retrospective cohort study.Patients (n = 720) following surgery from 2018 to 2019 were selected. LASSO regression and multivariate logistic utilised ascertain predictors infections. The performance was appraised by calibration discrimination. Decision...
