Objective: To probe into effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on in vitro fertilization and embryo transplantation (IVF-ET) in the patient of infertility with different syndromes.
Methods: Among the 126 patients of infertility who received EA for IVF-ET, 52 cases of kidney deficiency type (group A), 44 cases of the liver-qi stagnation type (group B) and 30 cases of phlegm-dampness type (group C) were selected. All of them in the 3 groups were treated with EA before and during controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation, and the effects of EA on the patients in the 3 groups were investigated.
Results: The fertility rate, implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate were 81.3%, 23.5%, 44.1% in group A, 80.5%, 27.8%, 46.5% in group B and 71.9%, 17.1%, 32.7% in group C, respectively, group A and B being better than group C (P<0.05) ; the good quality embryo rate of 70.7% in group B was significantly higher than 57.9% in group C (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in patient's basal condition, the dosage and administration time of gonadotropin, and blood level of estradiol on the day of injection of human chorionic gonadotropin, the number of gained oocytes, oocyte cleavage rate and the number of transplantation embryo among the 3 groups.
Conclusion: Clinical effects of EA treatment on IVF-ET in the infertility patients of kidney deficiency type and the patients of the liver-qi stagnation type are better than that in the patients of phlegm-dampness type.

Background: A better understanding of correlates of sugary drink consumption is essential to inform public health interventions. This study examined differences in perceived healthiness of sugary drinks and related social norms between countries, over time, and sociodemographic groups and associations with sugary drink intake.
Methods: This study used annual cross-sectional data from the International Food Policy Study from 2018 to 2021 in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Mexico.
"I surely don't call for fun": experiences of being a "frequent caller" to the Danish emergency helpline.

Department of Research and Development, Central Denmark Region, The Prehospital Emergency Medical Services, Brendstrupgaardsvej 7, Aarhus N, 8200, Denmark.
Background: While most Danish citizens never or very rarely call the national emergency helpline, 1-1-2, a few citizens call very often. In this article, we attend to the often-unheard voices of frequent callers, exploring why these citizens call 1-1-2 and why they often do not feel helped.
Methods: The article is based on a mixed-methods study on citizens in the Central Denmark Region who had called 1-1-2 five or more times during a period of six months in 2023.

Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: The triglyceride‒glucose index (TyG index) is a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance (IR) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is associated with cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have reported that H-type hypertension is likewise a predictor of adverse events in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the relationship between the TyG index and prognosis in patients with H-type hypertension combined with CHD has not yet been reported.

Background: Lysinuric protein intolerance is a rare autosomal disorder caused by mutations in the Slc7a7 gene that lead to impaired transport of neutral and basic amino acids. The gold standard treatment for lysinuric protein intolerance involves a low-protein diet and citrulline supplementation. While this approach partially improves cationic amino acid plasma levels and alleviates some symptoms, long-term treatment is suggested to be detrimental and may lead to life-threatening complications characterized by a wide range of hematological and immunological abnormalities.
