CONCLUSIONS: BA primarily based on telephone or WeChat can not only directly ameliorates psychological distress and anxiety symptoms in patients with esophageal cancer and gastric cancer but also indirectly alleviates psychological distress by enhancing self-efficacy. The study also demonstrates the potential of BA in cancer patients, a skill that can be effectively acquired by primary…
CONCLUSION: The combination of percutaneous endoscopic nucleotomy and PRP injection could be a safe and effective treatment for LDH in young and middle-aged adults to promote disc repair following endoscopic procedures.
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer enables pathological complete response (pCR) in patients initially diagnosed with axillary lymph node metastases, potentially obviating the need for axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Current targeted axillary dissection (TAD) techniques, guided by traditional tissue markers placed prior to NAC, face challenges such as marker loss and high costs.…
CONCLUSION: The point-toward-point insertion of elongated needle alleviates fatigue, anxiety and depression, and ameliorates sleep and motor function in the patients with post-stroke fatigue. It may be related to the attenuation of inflammatory responses.
Ketamine is a highly effective antidepressant (AD) that targets the glutamatergic system and exerts profound effects on brain circuits during negative emotional processing. Interestingly, the effects of ketamine on brain measures are sensitive to modulation by pretreatment with lamotrigine, which inhibits glutamate release. Examining the antagonistic effects of ketamine and lamotrigine on glutamate transmission holds…
BACKGROUND: Resistance training is hardly recommended for postmenopausal women to counteract negative effects of hormonal changes. However, some concern exists about the marked hemodynamic responses caused by high-load resistance exercises. In this regard, studies on young, healthy, physically active individuals suggest that set configuration can modulate acute cardiovascular, metabolic, and cardiac autonomic responses caused by…
CONCLUSION: The study does not support the notion that comprehensive RM, when compared to standard RM, in HF patients with CRT improves the clinical outcome of all-cause mortality or WHF hospitalizations. However, this study was underpowered due to an early termination and further trials are required.
CONCLUSION: NIPE-guided intraoperative fentanyl administration was not superior to heart rate/MAP-guided administration, as both achieved similar pain management outcomes in this study. However, NIPE may offer a more practical and precise approach, as it is an objective tool with a defined threshold. These findings suggest NIPE’s promise as a valuable tool for managing pain in…
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the placebo control group, the LGLQ group showed an improvement in the clinical symptoms of COVID-19 and a decrease in the duration of hospitalisation and infection, which confirmed that the LGLQ treatment had the same antiviral effect as the LHQW treatment. This may provide in-depth insights for antiviral therapy research.
CONCLUSIONS: This trial showed that probiotic and vitamin D co-supplementation for 12 weeks has beneficial effects on migraine headache characteristics. Further research is needed to confirm this finding.
