Compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue in frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China.

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue among Chinese frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China and to explore the related factors.

Background: Frontline nurses undertake a huge nursing workload with a risk of infection, causing great pressure on them and making them face a risk of compassion fatigue during the pandemic.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from 9 March to 15 March 2020.

How to rapidly convert general wards to ICUs during the COVID-19 epidemic: Experience from Wuhan, China.

Background: Critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were surging and far outnumbered existing beds.

Aims: To describe how to rapidly convert general wards to intensive care units for critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Materials And Methods: Comprehensive assessment and analysis of available resources and standard requirements.

Analysis of the prophylactic effect of thymosin drugs on COVID-19 for 435 medical staff: A hospital-based retrospective study.

To explore the role of thymosin drugs in the prevention of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we analyzed the preventive effects of different medication timings on health medical staff, and then provided recommendations for pharmaceutical monitoring of thymus drugs. The hospital-based retrospective study analyzed 435 medical staffers, treated with or without thymosin drugs as preventive medicines in our hospital of Wuhan City, from January 25 to March 25, 2020. For the prophylactics, the medical staff was prevented from pre-exposure prophylaxis (risk prevention of exposure to COVID-19 patients before using thymosin drugs) and postexposure prophylaxis (risk prevention of exposure to COVID-19 patients after using thymosin drugs).

Application of Improved LANDMARC Indoor Positioning Algorithm in Neurology Medical Care Monitoring and Positioning System.

The paper proposes an improved LANDMARC positioning algorithm to improve the location accuracy of environmental obstacles for medicine care monitoring in neurology. The paper proposes a log path loss correction model and uses the model to compensate the positioning signal to improve the positioning accuracy of the algorithm caused by the attenuation of the indoor positioning signal by the wall. The experimental results show that the LANDMARC positioning algorithm based on the log path loss correction model can improve the positioning accuracy of medical monitoring in neurology.

Nursing Intervention for Outpatient Rehabilitation in Pediatric Patients with Hirschsprung Disease after Colectomy.

Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing intervention program for outpatient rehabilitation of children with Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) after radical colectomy for Hirschsprung disease (HD).

Background: Postoperative outcomes severely affect the quality of life in pediatric HD patients after operation. The improvement in defecation function is regarded as one of the most useful parameters to evaluate the quality of life in HD patients after radical intestinal resection.

Quality of life evaluation in juveniles with disorders of sexual development.

Purpose: To evaluate the quality of life of 6-11-year-old children and 12-17-year-old adolescents with disorders of sexual development (DSDs) following reparative surgery.

Methods: Fifty pediatric patients with DSDs, including 32 cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 2 cases of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, 1 case of partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, 6 cases of complete testicular dysgenesis, 7 cases of partial testicular dysgenesis, and 2 cases of ovotesticular DSD, with complete follow-up data, were recruited. Healthy control subjects (matched for age, gender, and living environment) served as controls.
