Post-stroke arrhythmia could be a potential predictor for post-stroke depression.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is regarded as the consequence of multiple contributors involving the process of cognition, mood and autonomic system, with the specific mechanism unclear yet. As a common type of stroke-heart syndromes, post-stroke arrhythmia shared some common pathogenesis with PSD. We presumed that post-stroke arrhythmia might be an early distinguishable marker for the presence of PSD and aimed to verity their association in this study.

Exploring the central mechanism of mind-regulation electroacupuncture in treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome with anxiety and depression comorbidity based on functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Objectives: To observe the changes in the regional homogeneity (ReHo) and functional brain network in treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with anxiety and depression comorbidity with the mind-regulation electroacupuncture (EA), using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).

Methods: Thirty CFS patients with anxiety and depression comorbidity were enrolled from medical staffs as the observation group. The other 30 healthy subjects were recruited from medical university students as the control group, matching gender, age and education years with the observation group.

Gender Disparities in Patients' Decisions about the Management of Myocardial Infarction in East Chinese Province.

Background: Previous studies showed that there are gender disparities in various respects of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), including risk factors, symptoms, and outcomes. However, few of them noticed the gender disparities in patients' decision about the management of AMI, which might also be associated with the outcome.

Aims: To identify gender disparities in patients' decisions about the management of myocardial infarction.
