Mapping out the bibliometric characteristics of published in a Taiwanese academic journal in dentistry: A scopus-based analysis.

Background/purpose: Since its inception, the (JDS) has aimed to publish quality articles relevant to all fields in dentistry. The purpose of this study was to analyze the bibliometric characteristics and dissected associated factors correlated with citation counts of published in the J.

Materials And Method: Scopus® database was used to search the qualified articles published in from 2009 to 2021.

Critical Test Result Recall Supporting System (CTR RSS) Improves Follow-Up among Patients in the Community.

Follow-up care of patients in the community is an important topic for improving patient outcomes, especially when medical personnel receives a notification of the critical test result (CTR) when the CTR becomes available after patients have been out of hospital; how to recall the patient back to the hospital and follow-up treatment is essential for preventing the healthcare risk of neglecting or delayed intervention with respect to the patient’s CTR. We are concerned that the follow-up of CTR and timely recall of our patients in the community improves and facilitates patient safety. We built the CTR Recall Supporting System (RSS) to follow up and recall our patients in the community.

The Use of Information Technology in the Construction of a Nursing Communication Platform System.

In order to effectively connect patient care information and reduce the amount of administrative work, a nursing care communication platform can effectively achieve 1. Real-time display of patient information while protecting patient privacy; 2. Integration of hospital information system, with individualized medical care team information; 3.

A bibliometric analysis of top 100 most-cited articles in dentistry with author(s) affiliated with Taiwan institutes.

Background: Citation analysis can provide a historical perspective in the advancement of research, evolution, and areas of research. Taiwan exhibits rigorous academic and scientific activities in dentistry; however, based on its empirical contribution in research, there is no report in the literature analyzing the top-cited articles published by authors affiliated with Taiwan institutes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the citation characteristics of the top 100 most-cited articles published in dentistry with author(s) affiliated with Taiwan institutes.

The effects of immediate programmed cryotherapy and continuous passive motion in patients after computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty: a prospective, randomized controlled trial.

Background: The postoperative nursing intervention with immediate cryotherapy and continuous passive motion (CPM) remains elusive regarding the postoperative pain and range of motion (ROM) for patients undergoing computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (CAS-TKA).

Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial with a purposive sampling method was utilized. Sixty patients scheduled for a unilateral CAS-TKA at a medical center were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30).

Smartphone Application with Virtual Reality Goggles for the Reliable and Valid Measurement of Active Craniocervical Range of Motion.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability and validity of a hybrid device, combining virtual reality goggles, a magnetometer and an inclinometer application for smartphones, to measure craniocervical range.

Summary Of Background Data: Accurate evaluation of craniocervical range of motion is important for early detection of certain diseased conditions and monitoring the progress of interventions. The universal goniometer is widely used for the measurement but it requires experienced practitioners.

Syncope Due to Impending Cardiac Tamponade in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

Unlabelled: Pericardial effusion develops in 25 to 35% of patients with severe hypothyroidism. These effusions can be large, but rarely if ever cause tamponade. We report here a 36-year-old woman who presented with recurrent syncopal attack, which turned out to be a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis complicated by massive pericardial effusion with impending tamponade.

Influences of shift work on fatigue among nurses.

Aim: To compare the symptoms of fatigue and physiological indices in nurses who work during the day with nurses who work in shifts.

Method: One-hundred and seven nurses were recruited and asked to assess their symptoms of fatigue before their work commenced and after it finished.

Results: Using logistic regression analysis adjusted for covariates, it was found that nurses who work in shifts were more fatigued than nurses who work during the day (odds ratio = 2.

[Effects of high glucose on the cell proliferation, damage and cytokine in human peritoneal mesothelial cells].

Objective: To determine the mechanism of peritoneal fibrosis of peritoneal mesothelial cells by high glucose.

Methods: The third passage human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) from primary culture were divided into a control group (F(12)) and high glucose groups (F(12)+4% glucose) in different times (24, 48 h). The cell proliferation was assayed by the method of MTT (methylthiazoletetrazolium).
