Objective: This study aimed to identify and assess the psychometric properties of assessment instruments of caregiver contributions to self-care of chronic illness.
Methods: Ten databases and relevant websites were used to retrieve relevant literature. Methodological quality was assessed using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) Risk of Bias Checklist.
Background: Clinical nurses have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression, which seriously affect their physical and mental health. Narrative therapy (NT), a therapy for trauma-related psychological disorders, may be an effective intervention.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NT on improving PTSD symptoms, perceived stress, anxiety and depression in nurses.
Article Synopsis
- Telenursing is gaining attention in research, particularly focused on elderly patients with chronic illnesses, but there’s limited study on its knowledge structure.
- The analysis of 375 literature records showed an increasing trend in publications and citations, especially in 2022, with key contributions from the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare.
- The findings highlighted prominent themes in telenursing, identified leading institutions and authors, and emphasized keywords like "telemedicine," "chronic disease," and "older adult," offering insights for future research directions.
Purpose: Nutritional management of patients with esophageal cancer is a significant issue. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively synthesize qualitative research evidence on the experiences and requirements in nutritional management from the perspective of patients with esophageal cancer.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies were conducted.
Poststroke fatigue (PSF) is detrimental to rehabilitation and the pathogenesis is still indefinite. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are immune indicators reflecting the status of inflammation and nutrition and have been widely applied as prognostic biomarkers. We pointed to examine the connections between PSF and NLR, PNI in acute ischemic stroke patients.

However, the role of RIP3 in acute ischemic stroke remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between plasma levels of RIP3 and acute ischemic stroke with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA).
Objective This study was performed to evaluate the effect of two different methods of controlling glycemic variability (GV) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) undergoing surgery. Methods Patients with STBI were randomly grouped into a conventional adjustment process (CAP) group and modified Leuven's adjustment process (mLAP) group. Each group included 50 patients.

Methods: A plough-like pull-type sphincterotome (PLPTS) or improved short nose sphincterotome or improved needle knife was applied. VNTPST was carried out in 30 of 280 patients, whose biliary tract could not be exposed well or deep cannulation was difficult to perform during ERCP with traditional methods.
