Effect of mechanical ventilation and pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with ICU-acquired weakness: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is characterized by neuromuscular damage such as limb weakness, yet the cause of ICU-AW remains unclear, which significantly increases the time a patient spends on mechanical ventilation (MV)/in ICU and can even affect a patient's survival rate and quality of life after being discharged. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR)-related measures can effectively improve the ICU-AW situation, but in the specific implementation actions, many obstacles have been produced, and the treatment effect has been controversial, especially in the application process of mechanically ventilated patients. This study aims to confirm the efficacy of using MV alongside PR for patients with ICU-AW.

Economic growth, income inequality and life expectancy in China.

China had made dramatic health gains before its economic reform that began in 1978 produced rapid economic growth in the ensuing years. Since the economic reform, China's income inequality has substantially increased, and health gains have stagnated. This article investigates the extent to which China's health stagnation may be attributable to the rise in income inequality in China.
