Article Synopsis
  • Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common issue for patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), impacting recovery and increasing healthcare costs.
  • This study involved 219 female patients who underwent LSG, and findings showed that PONV affected 71.7% of them, with factors like postoperative pain and certain serum pepsinogen levels (PGI and PGR) being significant contributors.
  • The research concluded that higher PGI levels could increase the risk of PONV, while higher PGR levels appeared to provide some protective benefits against it.

Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP), a routine nursing procedure before paediatric bowel surgery, is widely should in clinical practice, but its necessity remains controversial. In a systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the effect of preoperative MBP in paediatric bowel surgery on postoperative wound-related complications in order to analyse the clinical application value of MBP in paediatric bowel surgery. As of November 2023, we searched four online databases: the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science.

Background: The role of current pharmacological treatment after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is limited. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after LSG remains high. Auricular acupressure (AA) is believed to relieve PONV after laparoscopic surgeries, but its role in patients with obesity after LSG has yet to be confirmed.

Background: The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) believed that early identification of septic shock, aggressive fluid resuscitation and maintenance of effective perfusion pressure should be carried out. However, some of the current research focused on a single death factor for sepsis patients, based on a limited sample, and the research results of the relationship between comorbidities and sepsis related death also have some controversies.

Method: Therefore, our study used data from a large sample of 9,544 sepsis patients aged 18-85 obtained from the MIMIC-IV database, to explore the risk factors of death in patients with sepsis.

Background: Dietary management is the most important and effective treatment for citrin deficiency, as well as a decisive factor in the clinical outcome of patients. However, the dietary management ability of caregivers of children with citrin deficiency is generally poor, especially in East Asia where carbohydrate-based diets are predominant. The aim of this study was to identify the difficulties that caregivers encounter in the process of home-based dietary management, and the reasons responsible for these challenges.

Background: Mild cognitive impairment affects 36% of people aged ≥65 years in China, around 50% of whom will develop dementia within 3 years. Early intervention can slow disease progression and delay the onset of dementia; however, whether a multicomponent intervention can decelerate the progression of mild cognitive impairment remains unknown.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of a multicomponent intervention to slow mild cognitive impairment progression in Chinese patients.
