Rhythmanalysis of care: Daily practices among informal caregivers of children with cancer.

An increasing number of people face the challenge of providing long-term, unpaid, informal care to children with cancer. The repetitive and staged processes of treatment create inherently rhythmic care practices, imposing a strict schedule on caregivers' daily routines. To explore the rhythmic nature of pediatric cancer informal care, we discuss the rhythms of daily life during intensive chemotherapy and maintenance therapy, and negotiated strategies of caring practice.

Analysis of spatial pattern and influencing factors of private clinics in the main urban area of Guiyang in China from 2021 to 2022 based on multi-source data.

Background: Private clinics are important places for residents to obtain daily medical care. However, previous researches mainly focused on public medical institutions but ignored the issue of systematic allocation of social medical resources such as clinics. It is critical to understand the private clinics distribution to analyze the rational allocation of medical resources and the spatial difference.

Increased risk of ischemic heart disease and diabetes in inflammatory bowel disease.

Background:  Previous studies showed inconsistent results regarding associations between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and diabetes. The present study aimed to make a meta-analysis to assess the risk of IHD and diabetes in IBD.

Methods:  We searched for articles published before February 2020 in the databases as follows: PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, EMBASE, and Google Scholar.

The effect of using simethicone with or without N-acetylcysteine before gastroscopy: A meta-analysis and systemic review.

Background/aim: To assess the efficacy and safety of simethicone with or without N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as premedications before gastroscopy.

Materials And Methods: We searched EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane library and Web of Science database for randomized clinical controlled trials regarding simethicone ± NAC as oral drinking agents before gastroscopy. Statistical software RevMan5.

MicroRNA-143 enhances chemosensitivity of Quercetin through autophagy inhibition via target GABARAPL1 in gastric cancer cells.

MicroRNAs have emerged as fundamental regulators in gene expression through silencing gene expression at the post-transcriptional and translational levels. In this study, miR-143 expression and biological functions in AGS/MNK28 cell lines was investigated. Results indicated that the expression of miR-143 was significantly down-regulated in cancer tissues and in gastric cancer (GC) cell lines.

Primary hepatic malignant melanoma: a case report.

Primary hepatic malignant melanoma is a very rare disease. In order to provide clues concerning diagnosis, differential diagnosis and pathogenesis of the disease, a case of a 49 year-old female patient with primary hepatic malignant melanoma is presented. B-mode ultrasound and Contrast-enhanced abdominal computerized tomography (CT) examinations revealed that nodules of varying sizes are diffusely distributed in her enlarged liver.
