Case report of recurrent epistaxis caused by a live leech in the nasal cavity.

Rationale: Epistaxis is one of the common emergencies in otolaryngology. There are many causes of epistaxis, but reports of epistaxis due to nasal foreign bodies like leeches are rare.

Patient Concerns: A 55-year-old male presented with "repeated epistaxis for over 20 days.

Rhabdomyolysis caused by Botrychium ternatum intoxication: Case report and literature review.

Rationale: Botrychium ternatum ((Thunb.) Sw.), a traditional Chinese medicine, is known for its therapeutic properties in clearing heat, detoxifying, cough suppression, and phlegm elimination.

Analysis and identification of oxidative stress-ferroptosis related biomarkers in ischemic stroke.

Studies have shown that a series of molecular events caused by oxidative stress is associated with ferroptosis and oxidation after ischemic stroke (IS). Differential analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed mRNA (DEmRNAs) between IS and control groups. Critical module genes were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).

A literature review and meta-analysis of the optimal factors study of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in post-infarction aphasia.

Background: The existing literature indicates that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can potentially enhance the prognosis of poststroke aphasia (PSA). Nevertheless, these investigations did not identify the most effective parameters or settings for achieving optimal treatment outcomes. This study involved a meta-analysis aimed to identify the optimal variables for rTMS in treating post-infarction aphasia to guide the use of rTMS in rehabilitating PSA.

The influence of leader relational energy on employee cognitive well-being: A moderated mediation model.

To demonstrate how cognitive well-being effectively occurs, this study examines the interactive effects of relational energy on cognitive well-being. Based on conservation of resource (COR) theory, this study expands understanding of the relationship between leader relational energy and employee cognitive well-being, using 245 employees as the sample in the experiment of exploring the mediation role of work absorption. Meanwhile, the significance of co-worker relational energy is highlighted as a key boundary condition for effective leader relational energy.

Effect of Low-Frequency Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields and Traditional Chinese Medicine Kneading Manipulation on Sternocostal Joint Pain in Perimenopausal Women.

Aim: To investigate the clinical effect of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) kneading manipulation in the treatment of perimenopausal women with sternocostal joint pain.

Methods: A total of 80 perimenopausal women with osteoporosis (OP) with sternocostal joint pain were selected as participants in the study. The patients were assigned to either the control or the treatment group, with 40 patients in each group.

A global neural network learning machine: Coupled integer and fractional calculus operator with an adaptive learning scheme.

Find the global optimal solution of the model is one promising research topic in computational intelligent community. Dependent on analogies to natural processes, the evolutionary swarm intelligent algorithms are widely used for solving global optimization problems which directed by the fitness values. In this paper, we propose one efficient fractional global learning machine (Fragmachine) which includes two stages (descending and ascending) to determine the optimal search path.

Effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation associated with swallowing-related muscle training for post-stroke dysphagia: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Swallowing dysfunction is a common dysfunction after stroke, and its incidence exceeds 50%. Aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition induced by dysphagia not only cause psychological shock to patients after stroke, but also burden the medical payment. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation, which stimulates the cortex and cortical bulb pathways to improve swallowing function, has been one of the emerging treatments for the post-stroke deglutition disorder.

Does Inconsistent Social Support Matter? The Effects of Social Support on Work Absorption Through Relaxation at Work.

Drawing upon the conservation of resources theory and social exchange theory, we examined the effects of family supportive supervisor behavior (FSSB) and family support (FS) on work absorption at the within- and between-person levels. A 10-day study of 91 workers using 710 observations was employed. At the within-person level, the results suggested that daily relaxation at work mediated the relationships between daily FS, daily shifts in FS, and daily work absorption.
