Objective: To assess the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of microwave ablation (MWA) for soft tissue venous malformations (VMs).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 20 patients with symptomatic VMs in the lower extremities and trunk. MWA was performed in all 20 patients.
Objective: To evaluate the value of ultrasound-based radiomics in the preoperative prediction of type I and type II epithelial ovarian cancer.
Methods: A total of 154 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer were enrolled retrospectively. There were 102 unilateral lesions and 52 bilateral lesions among a total of 206 lesions.
Aim: To provide an overview of the administration of opioid analgesics by nurses when prescription is on an "as-needed" basis for postoperative pain, and to identify the important factors that determine the decisions of nurses, by using the framework of predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling causes in educational diagnosis and evaluation.
Methods: Multiple databases were searched for the period from 2000-2012. Out of a total of 1755 citations and 148 abstracts retrieved, 39 studies met the criteria for inclusion.
Aims: The purpose of this study was (1) to explore postoperative pain experience among Chinese thoracotomy patients during hospitalisation; (2) to identify patient-related barriers to pain management; and (3) to explore how these barriers were related to patients' pain experience.
Background: Major thoracotomy causes severe pain and extreme stress for patients. Unrelieved postoperative pain leads to high risks of postoperative complications and chronic post-thoracotomy pain syndrome, compromising the quality of life for those patients.

Objective: To measure the concentrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (s-ICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (s-VCAM-1), and von Willebrand factor (vWF) in the plasma of patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD), and to provide basic theory for the mechanism of valvular and myocardial damage.
Methods: The consecutive patients with RHD (n=40) and healthy people (n=40) were chosen. All blood samples were taken from the peripheral veins.
