Background: Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) stands as one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections, often resulting in high healthcare expenditure and mortality rates. Despite efforts, reducing the incidence of CR-BSI remains a significant challenge.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of a multidisciplinary organizational intervention on reducing intravenous CR-BSI.
Objective: To explore the effect of multimodal analgesia based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG) for gastric cancer (GC).
Methods: Clinical data of 128 patients undergoing LRG for GC, admitted to Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2021 to March 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 66 patients received a multimodal analgesic management based on ERAS (ERAS group), and 62 patients were treated with conventional mode of analgesia (control group).
Background: The primary screening technique for precancerous lesions and cervical cancer is human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, and HPV self-sampling has been shown to be consistent with clinician sampling in terms of the accuracy of the results and may improve cervical cancer screening rates. The aim of this study was to understand the level of awareness, experience, acceptability, and preference for vaginal HPV self-sampling among women in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, China, and to analyze the possible influencing factors to determine the feasibility of implementing self-sampling.
Methods: Overall, 1793 women were included in the data analysis.
This aim of this study was to investigate women's knowledge about HPV along with their experience and acceptability of self-sampling in Jiangsu province, China. A total of 862 women aged 25-63 years old from Jiangsu province who purchased an HPV self-sampling test kit were invited to complete a questionnaire designed by the authors. Participants had high acceptability for HPV self-sampling with a mean score of 4.
