Article Synopsis
- Telehealth interventions are important for aiding patients with chronic conditions like heart failure and type 2 diabetes by improving health outcomes through structured conversations about lifestyle management.
- This study analyzed 729 telehealth calls made over a year to 50 heart failure patients, focusing specifically on lifestyle management topics and how these discussions related to their healthcare usage.
- The research assessed the content and structure of lifestyle-focused calls compared to those not solely about lifestyle, while also evaluating the nurses’ perspectives on the effectiveness and follow-up needed for these calls, ultimately relating them to patient admissions in the healthcare system.
[Study on the genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from hospitals in Tianjin].

Objective: To explore the characteristics on molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from hospitals in Tianjin area.
Methods: One hundred M. tuberculosis isolated strains were collected in succession from August 16th-December 25th, 2005 in Tianjin Haihe Hospital and genotyped by spoligotyping and multiple locus variable number-tandem repeat(VNTR).
Infection with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is relatively rare in areas that are high-endemic for tuberculosis. We identified 126 strains of NTM in respiratory specimens collected by the Chinese Nationwide Survey in 2000, the Beijing Tuberculosis and Thoracic Tumour Institution, and the Guangzhou Thoracic Hospital. Species diagnosis was attained by sequencing of 16S-rDNA complemented by phenotypic characterization when necessary.
