Smartphone Use by Caregivers for Patients With Heart Failure During Hospitalization: An Investigation.

This study investigated the use of smartphones by family caregivers for hospitalized patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). In total, 120 patients and their unpaid family caregivers participated in this study. The caregivers were divided into two groups based on the perceived importance of smartphones in patient care.

Challenges to therapeutic footwear usage for foot ulcer prevention among type 2 diabetes patients: A qualitative study.

Objective: Many contemporary designs solely prioritize the therapeutic function of footwear, neglecting other crucial social and environmental considerations. The study aimed to explore challenges to therapeutic footwear usage for foot ulcer prevention.

Methods: A qualitative critical ethnography design was used in this study.

Effect of "Internet + tertiary hospital-primary hospital-family linkage home care" model on self-care ability and quality of life of discharged stroke patients.

Objective: To investigate the intervention effect of an "Internet + tertiary hospital-primary hospital-family linkage home care" model on the quality of life and self-care abilities of discharged stroke patients.

Methods: The clinical data of 90 patients with stroke who were hospitalized and discharged from the Department of Neurology of the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical College for Nationalities from October 2020 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. They were split into a control group (41 cases) and an intervention group (40 cases) based on different care modes.

GPX8 regulates pan-apoptosis in gliomas to promote microglial migration and mediate immunotherapy responses.

Introduction: Gliomas have emerged as the predominant brain tumor type in recent decades, yet the exploration of non-apoptotic cell death regulated by the pan-optosome complex, known as pan-apoptosis, remains largely unexplored in this context. This study aims to illuminate the molecular properties of pan-apoptosis-related genes in glioma patients, classifying them and developing a signature using machine learning techniques.

Methods: The prognostic significance, mutation features, immunological characteristics, and pharmaceutical prediction performance of this signature were comprehensively investigated.

Third birth intention of the childbearing-age population in mainland China and sociodemographic differences: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: Global fertility declines have become an inevitable trend, and many countries are adopting policies to drive fertility increases. Fertility intention plays an important role in predicting fertility behavior. The Chinese government has recently issued the 'three-child' policy, and there is still little research on the third birth intention of the childbearing-age population.

Long noncoding RNA MSC-AS1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma oncogenesis via inducing the expression of phosphoglycerate kinase 1.

Background And Objectives: Increasing studies report that lncRNAs are dysregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which might function as significant diagnostic biomarkers of HCC. LncRNA MSC-AS1 has been newly discovered in several cancers. However, its biological effect in HCC remains to be clearly elucidated.

Correction to: Re‑fracture and correlated risk factors in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Re-fracture and correlated risk factors in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Re-fracture risk is higher following osteoporotic fracture. However, there is no accurately reported rate of re-fracture incidence in southwest China. The purpose of this study was to describe the osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) survival for re-fracture state and analyze the risk of re-fracture.
