An interventional study on the application of heart-collateral-based enlightenment words intervention in anxiety and depression of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: To study the effect of heart-collateral-based enlightenment words intervention on anxiety and depression in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: In this class experimental study, one hundred patients who were hospitalized after PCI from May 2020 to October 2021, were included in this interventional study. They were divided into the test group (n = 50) and the control group (n = 50) based on the random number table.

Incidence and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in patients with chronic heart failure: a scoping review.

Introduction: Kinesiophobia denotes an excessive and irrational apprehension towards physical activity or exercise among patients, stemming from a perception of susceptibility to painful injury or re-injury. Cardiac rehabilitation stands pivotal in the secondary prevention spectrum for individuals with cardiovascular ailments, with exercise constituting a cornerstone of this regimen. However, the emergence of kinesiophobia poses a formidable challenge, diminishing patient adherence to cardiac rehabilitation protocols, particularly among those grappling with chronic heart failure.

Severe Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction (JHR) in a leptospirosis patient: A case report.

Leptospirosis is a zoonosis that is related to potential respiratory, renal, neurological, and cardiovascular failure. At present, antibiotics are the recommended treatment, but due to the underlying cause of the disease, they may induce the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (JHR) within 24 hours. At the same time, we speculate that JHR may aggravate the natural course of leptospirosis.

Transitional Care in Patients with Heart Failure: A Concept Analysis Using Rogers' Evolutionary Approach.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the concept of transitional care in patients with heart failure.

Background: Transitional care is increasingly being applied in patients with heart failure, but the concept of transitional care in heart failure patients is not uniform and confused with other definitions, which limits further research and practice on transitional care for these patients.

Design: Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis.

Tetrahedral DNA Nanostructure-modified Gold Nanorod-based Anticancer Nanomaterials for Combined Photothermal Therapy and Chemotherapy.

Objective: To develop an effective treatment strategy to simultaneously avoid fatal adverse effects in the treatment of oral cancer, combination therapy has been explored because of its multiple functions. This work aims to develop a novel type of gold-nanorod-based nanomaterials decorated with tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDN) carrying antitumor drugs, namely, GNR@TDN-DOX nanocomposites.

Methods: In the designed structure, TDN, with a three-dimensional geometry composed of DNA strands, can provide GC base pairs for binding with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX).
