INTRODUCTION: Delirium, a common neuropsychiatric condition in hospitalised older adults, is associated with increased mortality, longer hospital stays and cognitive decline. The potential of melatonin to prevent delirium by improving sleep patterns and regulating circadian rhythms is promising, though existing evidence is mixed. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of melatonin in preventing delirium…
Our study aims to investigate the effect of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on microRNA-155 (miR-155) in the granulation tissue of patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and its correlation with wound healing. A total of sixty patients diagnosed with DFUs were randomly assigned to either the NPWT group (n = 40) or the…
With changing drug supplies and associated drug consumption behaviors, HIV transmission has increased among people who inject drugs in the United States. HIV testing and referrals to effective prevention and treatment services are critical for individual and population health, yet multilevel barriers limit access to HIV testing for this population, even within syringe services programs…
CONCLUSION: The 14-day vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy exhibits high eradication rates and low incidence of adverse reactions in retreated patients, indicating its effectiveness and safety as a rescue regimen for patients with H. pylori infection.
CONCLUSION: The administration of pronase prior to gastroscopy enhances visual field clarity, reduces examination time, and increases the detection rates of precancerous lesions and early cancer.
CONCLUSION: OSA can effectively control patients’ postoperative pain with lower perioperative haemodynamic variability. It also has lower perioperative haemodynamic variability and acute pain in patients with high pain sensitivity, making it suitable for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Oral-drug based regimens are useful in certain circumstances for transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (TI-NDMM), but few studies have compared Ixazomib based regimen with lenalidomide based regimen head-to-head. We carried out a prospective randomized, open, parallel group trial in patients with TI-NDMM in 3 China centers from March 2020 to December 2022. Sixty-three patients were…
CONCLUSIONS: In art health programs, leveraging the painting and language technologies of AI, along with the painting and simulation technologies of VR, can effectively enhance cognitive function and mental health in older people with mild cognitive impairment.
INTRODUCTION: The active involvement of end users may overcome socio-economic, cultural and context-related barriers that may reduce health promotion effectiveness in type 2 diabetes control and prevention. The «Cardio-metabolic diseases in immigrants and ethnic minorities: from epidemiology to new prevention strategies» (DIABETHIC) project funded by the European Union through the Italian Ministry of Health includes…
CONCLUSION: The correlation between ^(82)Rb clearance and [^(99m)Tc]Tc-MAG3 clearance may indicate that PET/CT determined ^(82)Rb clearance can act as an estimator of renal perfusion. The [^(99m)Tc]Tc-MAG3-to-^(82)Rb clearance ratios suggest that the extraction fraction of ^(82)Rb is higher than that of [^(99m)Tc]Tc-MAG3, further suggesting ^(82)Rb clearance as an estimator of flow. However, further studies are warranted…
