Effects of Exercise Training on Cognitive Function in Individuals With Heart Failure: A Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Cognitive function is critical for disease self-management; however, it is poorer in individuals with heart failure (HF) than in age-matched people who are healthy. Aging and disease progression collectively threaten the cognitive function of individuals with HF. Exercise has been shown to improve the mobility and mortality risk factors of this population, but the effects of exercise on the cognitive function of individuals with HF are unclear.

Latency period of PROM at term and the risk of neonatal infectious diseases.

To find the risk of time thresholds of PROM for infectious diseases of term neonates. A multi-center prospective cohort study including pregnancies with PROM at term with a single fetus were conducted. Time thresholds of the duration from PROM to delivery were examined in 2-h increments to assess the rates of infectious neonatal diseases.

Predicting risk of severe neonatal outcomes in preterm infants born from mother with prelabor rupture of membranes.

Background: Perinatal complications are common burdens for neonates born from mother with pPROM. Physicians and parents sometimes need to make critical decisions about neonatal care with short- and long-term implications on infant's health and families and it is important to predict severe neonatal outcomes with high accuracy.

Methods: The study was based on our prospective study on 1001 preterm infants born from mother with pPROM from August 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018 in three hospitals in China.

The correlation between prelabour rupture of the membranes and neonatal infectious diseases, and the evaluation of guideline implementation in China: a multi-centre prospective cohort study.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of prelabour rupture of membranes (PROM) in China and to assess the association between clinical practice following the guidelines and early neonatal infections.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 15926 deliveries in ShenZhen Baoan Women's and Children's Hospital, Xibei Women's and Children's Hospital and Chengdu Women's and Children's Hospital between August 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018. Clinical data were collected for each participant.
