Despite growing evidence that an educational anaesthesia video can effectively reduce perioperative anxiety, the ideal medium for addressing anxiety is unclear.The purpose of this study was to investigate effect viewing anaesthetic patient information on levels in patients scheduled undergo surgery.A randomised controlled trial.Pingtung Christian Hospital (PTCH), Taiwan.One hundred were either experimental group (n = 50) or a control 50).At preoperative clinic, watched 8 minute video,...
Background Epidemiological and clinical studies have clearly established the link between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular consequences. Although it has been a common practice for physicians to prescribe lipid-lowering therapy patients with dyslipidemia, achievement rate is still not satisfied in Taiwan. Therefore, determinants achieving LDL-C target needed be clarified better healthcare of dyslipidemia. Method This registry-type prospective...
Objectives: The study objectives were to evaluate outcomes in patients who have received dry needling treatments and identify predictors of pain disability. Design: was a prospective cohort follow-up design. Setting: conducted at the Pain Clinic Pingtung Christian Hospital, Taiwan. Subjects: Ninety-two (92) sick-listed for 3 months or longer myofascial syndrome. Interventions: From February October 2008, participants treated clinic with trigger points muscle stretches involved muscles....
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare congenital anomaly which, if overlooked, may be associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography proved useful in identifying variety structural heart disease. This study sought to assess the accuracy surgical result on basis multiplane findings describe patient demographics clinical outcome an Oriental cohort. From July 1984 December 1995, clinical, catheterization, echocardiographic, results were...
Background Little is known about the prognosis of resistant hypertension (RH) in Asian population. This study aimed to evaluate impacts RH Taiwanese patients with hypertension, and ascertain whether patient characteristics influence association adverse outcomes. Methods Results Patients aged ≥45 years were identified from National Health Insurance Research Database. Medical records 111,986 reviewed this study, 16,402 (14.6%) recognized as having (continuously concomitant use ≥3...
Whether serum triglyceride level correlates with clinical outcomes of patients ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) remains unclear.From June 2008 to February 2012, all STEMI who were pPCI in this tertiary referral hospital and then had fasting lipid profiles measured within 24 hours included dichotomized into lower- (≦ 150 mg/dl) higher-triglyceridemic (>150 groups. Baseline characteristics, in-hospital outcomes,...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease but with significant morbidity and high mortality. There no specific way to diagnose PAH. Thus, an easy used good sensitivity specificity biomarker of PAH highly desirable aid in the screening, diagnosis, follow-up. Caveolin-1 (Cav1) structural protein caveolae expressed type I pneumocytes. Lungs tissues from idiopathic (IPAH) patients showed decreased expression Cav1 vascular endothelial cells. Therefore, we developed direct sandwich...
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate a program for managing myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Design: design randomized controlled trial. Setting: setting the clinic an academic hospital in Taiwan. Participants: Sixty-two (62) patients with 3-month or longer history MPS who were treated at institution from July November 2007 included study. Interventions: participants experimental group (n = 32) control 30). Both groups underwent trigger-point dry needling and muscle-stretch...
Optimal endovascular therapy for isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection remains undetermined. Here, we report a 56-year-old male with ischemic bowel syndrome caused by such serious vascular disease. He was treated true lumen stenting yet got aggravated in ischemia from unexpected jail of major intestinal branches perfused the false lumen, requiring subsequent complex rewiring and dilatation procedures to resolve at cost excessive fluoroscopic contrast medium exposure. Thus,...
Information regarding the effects of omega-3 fatty acid on hypertriglyceridemic patients in Chinese is still limited. This study aimed to investigate efficacy and safety Omacor®, a prescription ethyl-ester for treatment hypertriglyceridemia, administered at doses 2 g/day 4 Taiwanese patients.A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel adults with hypertriglyceridemia was conducted. After five-week diet lead period triglycerides =200-1000 mg/dL were randomized...
