This study (1) provides an integrated review of literature on prevalence depression with diseases in China United States its relationship to poorer outcomes (2) compares differences percentages receiving treatments...
There is always a lack of effective treatment for highly active refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG). Recently, telitacicept combined with efgartigimod significantly reduces circulating B cells, plasma and immunoglobulin G, which brings promising therapeutic strategies. We report case 37-year-old female patient GMG, whose condition got significant improvement control this latest after multiple unsuccessful therapies immunosuppressants. The new combination deserves further attention...

This study aimed to (1) identify subgroups of women with breast cancer the psychological symptom cluster (fatigue, depressive symptoms, and anxiety) during first 18 months adjuvant therapy (2) explore associations between demographic clinical characteristics variations in genetic polymorphisms related hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis function predicted trajectory subgroup membership. We obtained data at 4 time points from baseline among 292 postmenopausal cancer. Genetic were...
Glycosylation is a promising strategy for modulating the physicochemical properties of peptides. However, influence glycosylation on biological activities peptides remains unknown. Here, we chose bee venom peptide HYL as model and 12 different monosaccharides sugars to study effects site, number, monosaccharide structure biochemical properties, activities, cellular selectivities derivatives. Some analogues showed improvement not only in cell selectivity proteolytic stability but also...
Background and Purpose: Whether imaging parameters would independently predict stroke recurrence in low-risk minor ischemic (MIS) or transient attack (TIA) according to traditional score system (such as ABCD 2 score, which was termed on the basis of initials five factors: age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration, diabetes) remains unclear. We sought evaluate association between 1-year patients with TIA MIS different risk stratum stratified by score. Methods: included (National...
People with sickle cell disease frequently use complementary and integrative therapies to cope their pain, yet few studies have evaluated effectiveness. The 3-arm, 3-site pragmatic Hybrid Effectiveness-implementation Trial of Guided Relaxation Acupuncture for Chronic Sickle Cell Disease Pain (GRACE) has 3 priorities: (1) evaluate guided relaxation acupuncture improve pain control; (2) determine the most appropriate effective treatment sequence any given patient based on unique...
Background/Objectives: Breast cancer survivors undergoing long-term endocrine therapy often experience multiple symptoms, including pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, hot flashes, anxiety, and depression. This study explored the feasibility acceptability of integrating acupuncture for symptom management in medically underserved breast survivors. Methods: randomized controlled trial was conducted at two clinics serving populations. (N = 62) were to receive (n 31) or usual care 31). The group...
Objectives The associations between various minerals' intake and thyroid dysfunction (TD), including hyperthyroidism hypothyroidism, are still inconclusive, which may be attributed to the potential synergistic effects among minerals. Methods data were obtained from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001–2002 2007–2012 databases. Dietary interviews conducted collect consumption of multiple Blood samples collected measure concentrations free triiodothyronine, thyroxine,...
Background There are indeed several studies addressing the severity of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. However, data on post-COVID-19 sequelae MG patients remain limited. To address this gap, we collected clinical condition and prognosis with COVID-19 infection, aiming to investigate factors influencing both occurrence at 1 12 months after recovery. Method This was a retrospective analysis 150 from November 1, 2022 March 2023 First Affiliated...
Background Breast cancer survivors on endocrine therapy frequently experience multiple symptoms that significantly impact their quality of life. Acupuncture has shown potential in managing these but remains less accessible for medically underserved populations. Objective This study aimed to explore the acceptability, challenges, and facilitators acupuncture integration from perspective health system partners. Interventions/Methods Using a convergent mixed-methods approach Consolidated...
In this study, we investigated the local epidemiology and pathogen spectrum of acute respiratory infections caused by common viruses other than influenza virus (IFV) severe syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Fujian Province, China, from September 2020 to December 2023. Samples negative for IFV SARS-CoV-2 were randomly selected individuals presenting with influenza-like illness. These samples tested seven viruses-human syncytial (HRSV), human parainfluenza (HPIV), adenovirus (HAdV),...
Background: Attention control is an important part of clinical trials, allowing the influence attention to be parsed from effects intervention. Poor group design can lead unintended outcomes, overestimate effectiveness intervention, or threaten a potentially beneficial treatment. The aims this paper were describe development novel using TED Talks and provide recommendations for condition. Methods: Twenty-four selected inclusion in talks ranged 6.0 19.1 minutes total length 4 hours 12 (mean =...
