Objective: This study aims to examine this relationship between EO exposure and cognition in older adults.

The posttraumatic cognitive appraisal inventory (PTCAI): development and validation.

Objective: This study aims to develop and validate the Posttraumatic Cognitive Appraisal Inventory (PTCAI) for accidental trauma survivors.

Method: Based on interviews and expert feedback, the initial item pool was generated for the Negative Cognitive Appraisal Inventory of Loss and Feeling Threatened, and the Positive Cognitive Appraisal Inventory of Positively Face, Self-Sense, and Relationships. Then, we recruited two groups of accidental trauma survivors to examine the reliability and validity of the PTCAI.

Development and external validation of dual online tools for prognostic assessment in elderly patients with high-grade glioma: a comprehensive study using SEER and Chinese cohorts.

Background: Elderly individuals diagnosed with high-grade gliomas frequently experience unfavorable outcomes. We aimed to design two web-based instruments for prognosis to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS), assisting clinical decision-making.

Methods: We scrutinized data from the SEER database on 5,245 elderly patients diagnosed with high-grade glioma between 2000-2020, segmenting them into training (3,672) and validation (1,573) subsets.

Effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning on Development of Nursing Students' Critical Thinking Skills: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered approach to teaching that has been applied in medical and nursing education. The effectiveness of PBL in promoting critical thinking in nursing students has been studied extensively with mixed results.

Purpose: The meta-analysis aimed to investigate the impact of PBL interventions on critical thinking skills of nursing students.

The association between triglyceride-glucose index and cognitive function in nondiabetic elderly: NHANES 2011-2014.

Background: The relationship between Insulin resistance (IR) evaluated through homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and cognitive function is controversial among nondiabetic individuals. No study so far has reported the association between the IR evaluated through triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and cognitive function among nondiabetics. This study aims to assess this association among US nondiabetic older elderly.

Impact of the Industrialization of Older Adult Care Services on Older Individuals' Physical and Mental Health: Evidence from China's Quasi-Natural Experiment.

Purpose: Given the increasing longevity of the population, the consolidation of familial structures, and the scarcity of economic resources required to sustain an aging society, the Chinese government faces a complex and urgent challenge in effectively addressing the growing needs of older adults and establishing a long-term care services system that is both sustainable and equitable.

Patients And Methods: This study harnesses the comprehensive CLHLS data from 2011 to 2018 and utilizes the "Pilot Industrialization of Old-Age Service in a Market-Oriented Way" policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Employing the Difference-in-Differences (DID) method, our study aims to evaluate the impact of industrializing older adult care services on the physical and mental health outcomes of older adults in China.

Global research trends in immunotherapy for glioma: a comprehensive visualization and bibliometric analysis.

Background: Glioma is a prevalent and lethal brain malignancy; despite current treatment options, the prognosis remains poor. Therefore, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. However, research trends and hotspots in glioma immunotherapy have not been systematically analyzed.

The impact of using community home-based elderly care services on older adults' self-reported health: fresh evidence from China.

Background: The rapid population aging in China, characterized by a higher prevalence of illnesses, earlier onset of diseases, and longer durations of living with ailments, substantially engenders challenges within the domain of older adults' healthcare. Community home-based elderly care services (CHECS) are a feasible solution to solve the problem of older adults' care and protect older adults' health. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship, heterogeneity effects and influential mechanisms between older adults' use of CHECS and their self- reported health.

Effectiveness of creative story therapy for dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of creative story therapy versus routine nursing alone for the treatment of dementia.

Methods: We manually searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China VIP Database (VIP), China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), and Wanfang Data up to May 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of creative story therapy combined with routine nursing versus routine nursing for the treatment of dementia were included.

Causal Associations Between Gut Microbiota and Psoriasis: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Introduction: Previous studies have proposed a possible gut-skin axis, and linked gut microbiota to psoriasis risks. However, there is heterogeneity in existing evidence. Observational research is prone to bias, and it is hard to determine causality.

Tea intake or consumption and the risk of dementia: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

Purpose: Dementia affects as many as 130 million people, which presents a significant and growing medical burden globally. This meta-analysis aims to assess whether tea intake, tea consumption can reduce the risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Vascular dementia (VD).

Patients And Methods: Cochrane Library, PubMed and Embase were searched for cohort studies from inception to November 1, 2022.

Effectiveness and safety of ginkgo biloba preparations in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis of the effectiveness and safety of ginkgo biloba preparations combined with donepezil hydrochloride vs. donepezil for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Methods: Three English databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE), and four Chinese databases [the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CKNI), the Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM), the Chongqing VIP database, and WANFANG DATA)] were manually searched for literature published from the respective dates of inception of the databases to December 2022.

The Relationship between Intelligent Image Simulation and Recognition Technology and the Health Literacy and Quality of Life of the Elderly.

In order to explore the relationship between intelligent image recognition technology and the mentality and quality of life of the elderly, this paper combines intelligent image simulation technology to identify the behavior of the elderly, protect the safety of the elderly, and provide timely feedback on the adverse conditions of the elderly. Moreover, this paper improves the traditional intelligent image recognition algorithm, verifies the research method of this paper through experimental research, and puts forward corresponding suggestions. Through investigation and research, we can see that the level of health literacy of elderly patients with chronic diseases is low.

Nursing students' attitudes, knowledge and willingness of to receive the coronavirus disease vaccine: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and willingness of nursing students to receive the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine and the influencing factors.

Background: Vaccination is one of the most effective measures to prevent COVID-19, but the vaccination acceptance rate varies across countries and populations. As trustworthy healthcare providers, nursing students' attitudes, knowledge and willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may greatly affect the present and future vaccine acceptance rates of the population; however, studies related to the vaccine acceptance rates among nursing students are limited.
