Office of Education and Training (Graduate School), Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China.
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in China and globally, particularly among older adults. This study aimed to examine secular trends in TB mortality among older adults in China and the net effects of age, period, and cohort.
Methods: Data from the National Disease Surveillance Points (DSPs) system were analyzed using Joinpoint regression to determine annual changes in TB mortality among individuals aged 60 years and older from 2004 to 2021.
The Role of Feedback Training on Early Postoperative Recovery and Anxiety Scores in an Ambulatory Surgical Unit: A Secular Trend Study.

Background: We used a ten-item postoperative quality of recovery score (QoR-10) to assess the perioperative quality of care in an in-hospital ambulatory surgical unit.
Methods: In Phase 1 of this secular trend study (n=300 patients, 3-months duration), we collected QoR-10 scores and potential confounders, including type of anesthesia and surgery; co-morbidities; and anesthesia components of the Amsterdam scale-measured anxiety scores. Phase 2 was the one-month performance feedback learning phase in which modifiable variables identified in Phase 1 were translated to actionable steps, reinforcing the already existing routine of our department's clinical practices, including pain, shivering and anxiety.
Characteristics of Ra-226 particles from legacy contamination and implications for radiological protection.

Radioactive particles are physically discrete sources of radioactivity that have been released into the environment as result of past accidents, incidents, and practices, and can present a hazard to members of the public. The historical use of radium in the luminising of aircraft components, and the subsequent decommissioning of those aircraft and associated waste disposal practices, has left a legacy of contamination, such as the radioactive particles containing Ra-226 at Dalgety Bay, Scotland. The aim of this research was to physically, chemically, and radiologically characterise Ra-226 particles from Dalgety Bay and consider the implications for radiological protection of the public.

Background: Pediatric hypertension (HTN) is increasing over time. Worldwide, the blood pressure (BP) trend has been poorly studied. The aim of our study is to evaluate the recent trend in BP in a school-aged children sample, and to search for factors that might influence BP variability.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFToday's children are experiencing a secular decline in gross motor skill development, resulting in developmental delays (DD). Understanding which development facets affect gross motor DD presentation supports prevention strategies. This study explored the influence of executive function, self-concept, and others associated with gross motor DD in preschool-aged children with and without disabilities.
