Necessary Conditions in Social Media Addiction: Identifying Key Antecedents.

This study aims to address the fragmented understanding of the antecedents of social media addiction (SMA) by examining key factors and their roles as necessary and sufficient conditions. By integrating key variables from previous research, including the Dark Triad traits, self-regulation, social anxiety, and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), the study investigates their relationships with SMA. Data were collected through 369 questionnaires and analyzed using regression analysis and Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA).

Individualised acute normovolaemic haemodilution for non-cardiac surgery with anticipated high-dose red cell transfusion: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial in West China Hospital of Sichuan University.

Introduction: Acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) is a perioperative blood management technique involving the removal of whole blood and simultaneous infusion of colloids or crystalloids to achieve haemodilution while maintaining normovolaemia. However, its efficacy in reducing the requirement for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion remains controversial due to inconsistent findings in the literature. An individualised red cell transfusion strategy, guided by the West China Liu's Score, has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the need for allogeneic red cell transfusion.

Exploring the influence of media and social factors on altruistic behavior using the general learning model and norm activation theory.

Altruism is beneficial to society as it promotes mental and physical health alongside economic and societal growth. Previous studies have indicated, however, that people tend not to engage in altruistic behaviors toward strangers. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the factors that motivate individuals to participate in altruistic actions.

Objective: To evaluate the correlation in temporal trends in obesity and endometrioid endometrial cancer incidence in the United States using two comprehensive national databases.

The Captopril Challenge Test Predicts Cardiac Structure and Dysfunction in Primary Aldosteronism.

Context: The captopril challenge test (CCT) is a commonly used confirmation test that identifies the magnitude of renin- and angiotensin II-independent aldosterone production, and thus the presence and severity of primary aldosteronism (PA).

Objective: This study investigated the association between the post-CCT plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and cardiovascular remodeling and diastolic dysfunction.

Methods: A total of 540 PA patients with complete CCT and echocardiographic data were retrospectively analyzed.
