Respiratory diseases pose a significant global health burden, with challenges in early and accurate diagnosis due to overlapping clinical symptoms, which often leads to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. To address this issue, we developed , an artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic system that utilizes natural language processing (NLP) to extract key clinical features from electronic health records (EHRs) for the accurate classification of respiratory diseases. This study employed a large cohort of 31,267 EHRs from multiple centers for model training and internal testing.

Background: Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) relieves physical and psychological stress symptoms in nurses who exposed to nurse-to-nurse horizontal violence (HV), has great intervention potential to reverse the negative effects of HV events. Therefore, in-depth exploration of the overall characteristics of PTG in HV-exposed nurses and its influencing factors are of great practical significance to provide them with precise psychological adaptive interventions.

Objective: This study aims to describe the current state of PTG of HV-exposed nurses and its influencing factors.

Article Synopsis
  • Early-stage invasive lung adenocarcinomas (ADC) with specific histological patterns are associated with a higher risk of recurrence after surgery, making preoperative assessment crucial for treatment planning.
  • This study developed a deep learning algorithm to analyze preoperative CT scans and identify high-risk versus low-risk histologic patterns in early-stage ADC patients.
  • Results showed that the model accurately segmented lesions and successfully distinguished risk groups, with high consistency compared to human experts, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.89 in the development cohort and 0.87 in the external validation cohort.

Article Synopsis
  • Social participation is crucial for rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet few studies have focused on this aspect, leading to a need for research on the varying levels of social engagement among patients post-surgery.
  • In a study with 255 TKA patients from a hospital in China, researchers categorized participants into three social participation groups three months after surgery: low (17.9%), moderate (40.8%), and high (41.3%).
  • The study found that factors such as age, pain level, knee function, and fear of movement significantly influenced the level of social participation in these patients, highlighting the need for tailored post-operative care.

Background: Older patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are prone to insomnia. Studies have shown that insomnia affects the onset of cognitive frailty and is also strongly associated with depressive symptoms and social support. However, information on how these factors interact to influence cognitive frailty remains underexplored.

A poor quality of life (QoL) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is often associated with emotional disturbances and the ability to cope. Little is known, however, about the intrinsic links among the QoL, fear of disease progression (FoP), and coping styles in patients with PH. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relationships among QoL, FoP, and coping styles in patients with PH.
