Abstract Editor’s Perspective What We Already Know about This Topic Article Tells Us That Is New Background Previous research has shown different effects of anesthetics on cancer cell growth. Here, the authors investigated association between type anesthetic and patient survival after elective colon surgery. Methods A retrospective cohort study included patients who received surgery January 2005 December 2014. Patients were grouped according to anesthesia received: propofol or desflurane....
Non-adherence to antipsychotic medication in schizophrenic patients is common and associated with symptom relapse poorer long-term outcomes. The risk factors for treatment non-adherence include dosing frequency complexity. Besides, slower dose titration an acute episode may lead attenuated efficacy. Therefore, the convenient dosage regimen rapid initiation scheme of quetiapine extended release (XR) were expected provide better effectiveness promote adherence schizophrenia. This study was...

In Brief BACKGROUND: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complication after endotracheal intubation. We compared the effectiveness on POST of spraying tube (ETT) cuff with benzydamine hydrochloride, 10% lidocaine, and 2% lidocaine. METHODS: Three hundred seventy-two patients were randomly allocated into 4 groups. The ETT cuffs in each group sprayed lidocaine or normal saline before After insertion, inflated to an airway leak pressure 20 cm H2O. Anesthesia was maintained propofol....

This study aims to investigate whether frailty severity in conjunction with cognitive function, termed as” frailty”, is associated dietary diversity older adults. cross-sectional used the data from 2014–2016 Nutrition and Health Survey Taiwan (N = 1115; age ≥ 65 years). Dietary intake was assessed using a 24 h recall food-frequency questionnaire, score (DDS; range, 0–6) food frequency were calculated. The presence of phenotypes determined FRAIL scale, which proposed by International...
