Association of multidimensional frailty and quality of life in middle-aged and older people with stroke: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to (i) compare the prevalence of multidimensional frailty in middle-aged and older people with stroke and to (ii) explore the relationship between multidimensional frailty and quality of life (QoL) in this patient population.

Background: In recent years, stroke patients have become increasingly younger. As an important risk factor for stroke patients, frailty has gradually drawn research attention because of its multidimensional nature.

Cognitive behavioral therapy achieves better benefits in relieving postoperative pain and improving joint function: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, short-term psychotherapy approach that may have positive effects in terms of relieving postoperative pain. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of CBT on pain and joint function in patients after total joint arthroplasty.

Methods: We searched 3 electronic databases including randomized controlled studies (RCTs) using CBT as an intervention.

Nurse managers' burnout and organizational support: The serial mediating role of leadership and resilience.

Aims: To investigate the relationship between organizational support and nurse managers' burnout and the serial multiple mediating effects of leadership and resilience.

Background: Nurse managers are at a high risk of burnout, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, no research has been done to examine the associations between nurse managers' organizational support, leadership, resilience and burnout.

Rehabilitation Nursing for Cerebral Stroke Patients within a Suitable Recovery Empty Period.

Background: We aimed to research the value of extended nursing for cerebral stroke patients within a suitable recovery empty period.

Methods: Seventy-two cerebral stroke patients were randomized to a control group or treatment group at the recovery period at Xuzhou Recovery Hospital, China in 2016. A recovery guidance exercise was applied to the control group for a set time, while a recovery guidance exercise combined with functional training were applied to the treatment group within the recovery empty period (at 6:00-7:00 a.

Protective effects of astragalus extract against intermittent hypoxia-induced hippocampal neurons impairment in rats.

Background: Intermittent hypoxia is the main pathophysiological cause of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Astragalus shows improvement of spatial learning and memory abilities under intermittent hypoxia. Our study aimed to investigate the protective effect of astragalus against intermittent hypoxia induced-hippocampal neurons impairment in rats and lay the theoretical foundation for the sleep apnea improvement in cognitive function by astragalus.
