Compliance Rate With Triage Test and Treatment for Participants Screening Positive in Cervical Cancer Screening Programs: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess the rates of adherence to triage testing after positive screening results and referral to treatment for precancerous lesions in global cervical cancer screening programs.

Data Sources: We searched three electronic databases (Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science) for articles published in the English language from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2023. We included studies reporting the compliance rate of triage testing and precancer treatment in cervical cancer screening programs.

Correlation analysis between the changes in plasma ghrelin level and weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy combined with fundoplication.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy combined with fundoplication (LSGFD) can significantly control body weight and achieve effective anti-reflux effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the alteration in Ghrelin levels and weight loss following SGFD, and to compare Ghrelin levels, weight loss and metabolic improvements between SG and SGFD, with the objective of contributing to the existing body of knowledge on SGFD technique in the management of patients with obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 115 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery between March 2023 and June 2023 at the Department of Minimally Invasivew Surgery, Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Incidence and Outcomes of Brucella Endocarditis in a High-Prevalence Area: A Single-Center Study.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of Brucella endocarditis (BE) and observe the factors related to death to provide guidance for clinical treatment.

Methods: This study examined all patients with BE admitted to The First People's Hospital of Kashi Prefecture between January 2017 and November 2023. Clinical characteristics and follow-up outcomes were collected for analysis.

[Analysis of weight loss, metabolism, and anti-reflux effect of sleeve gastrectomy combined with fundoplication as treatment of obesity complicated by gastroesophageal reflux disease].

To explore the weight-loss, metabolism, and anti-reflux effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy combined with fundoplication (SGFD) as treatment of obesity complicated by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with the aim of identifying the best treatment for such patients. This was a retrospective cohort study. Relevant clinical data of 140 patients with obesity (body mass index≥30 kg/m) complicated by GERD (confirmed by preoperative GerdQ score, gastroscope, upper gastrointestinal radiography, 24-hour pH monitoring of esophagus, and high-resolution esophageal manometry) who had undergone bariatric surgery in the Minimally Invasive Surgery, Hernia and Abdominal Surgery Department of the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2019 to February 2023 were collected.

Survival After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Before and After Legislation for Bystander CPR.

Importance: The lack of evidence-based implementation strategies is a major contributor to increasing mortality due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in developing countries with limited resources.

Objective: To evaluate whether the implementation of legislation is associated with increased bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use and improved clinical outcomes for patients experiencing OHCA and to provide policy implications for low-income and middle-income settings.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This observational cohort study analyzed a prospective city registry of patients with bystander-witnessed OHCA between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2022.
