Development and psychometric testing of the Perception of Childbirth Environment Scale in Taiwan.

Background: Previous research has shown that women's perceptions of their childbirth environment are critical in ensuring that they feel supported and in facilitating physiological childbirth.

Aim: To develop and validate the Perception of Childbirth Environment Scale (PCES) for expectant mothers.

Methods: The PCES was developed based on findings from a scoping review and a qualitative study on childbirth environments conducted by the authors.

Multipronged Programmatic Strategy for Preventing Secondary Fracture and Facilitating Functional Recovery in Older Patients after Hip Fractures: Our Experience in Taipei Municipal Wanfang Hospital.

: The study assessed the effectiveness of a fracture liaison service (FLS) after 1 year of implementation in improving the outcomes of hip fracture surgery in older adult patients at Taipei Municipal Wanfang Hospital. : The Wanfang hospital's FLS program was implemented using a multipronged programmatic strategy. The aims were to encourage the screening and treatment of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, to take a stratified care approach for patients with a high risk of poor postoperative outcomes, and to offer home visits for the assessment of environmental hazards of falling, and to improve the patient's adherence to osteoporosis treatment.

Prognostic factors for 1-year functional outcome, quality of life, care demands, and mortality after surgery in Taiwanese geriatric patients with a hip fracture: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Hip fractures are a major public health concern among elderly individuals. This study aimed to investigate potential perioperative factors that predict 1-year functional outcome, quality of life (QoL), care demands, and mortality in geriatric patients with a hip fracture.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled geriatric patients who had undergone hip fracture surgery in one medical center from December 2017 to December 2019.

Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality in Older Adults Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery: A Case-Control Study.

Although surgery has been proven to improve the long-term survival of older adults with hip fracture, in-hospital mortality directly resulting from repair of hip fracture is undesirable. This study aimed to identify potential prognostic factors that predict in-hospital mortality risk in elderly patients following hip fracture surgery. This case-control study comprehensively collected data from older adults with hip fracture admitted to a single medical centre.

Urethral large B-cell urethral lymphoma: A case report and literature review.

Objective: We report a case of diffuse large B-cell urethral lymphoma initial presenting with non-healing urethra ulcer.

Case Report: A 68-year-old woman presented with a non-healing urethral ulcer accompanied with vulvar pruritus, which failed to medical treatment. Her medical history was unremarkable, lacking fever, weight loss or unexplained fatigue.

Loss of skeletal muscle mass can be predicted by sarcopenia and reflects poor functional recovery at one year after surgery for geriatric hip fractures.

Introduction: Hip fractures in the elderly impact negatively on functional dependence, and carry great social costs and morbidity. We assessed the decline in muscle mass and functional outcomes following hip fracture surgery .

Material And Methods: Thirty patients with a hip fracture (mean age: 80.

Focusing on long-term complications of mid-urethral slings among women with stress urinary incontinence as a patient safety improvement measure: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There are 3 different types of mid-urethral sling, retropubic, transobturator and single incision performed for women with stress urinary incontinence. Prior studies comparing these three surgeries merely focused on the successful rate or efficacy. But nevertheless, what is more clinically important dwells upon investigating postoperative complications as a safety improvement measure.

[The Impact of Late Umbilical Cord Clamping on Neonatal Jaundice and Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Randomized Controlled Trail].

Background: The current evidence supports the clinical benefits of late umbilical cord clamping. These benefits include increased blood volume and total body iron. Furthermore, delayed cord clamping facilitates the transplantation of stem cells, which helps the development of infant bodily systems.
