Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, No.1 Da Hua Road, Dong Dan, Dongcheng District, Beijing, 100730, PR China.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) severity and fat, bone, and muscle indices.
Methods: This study included 102 patients with OSAHS and retrospectively reviewed their physical examination data. All patients underwent polysomnography, body composition analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography (CT) and blood test.
Effectiveness and utilization of a cognitive screening program for primary geriatric care.
Alzheimers Res Ther
January 2025
Department of Neurosciences, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, 92093-0948, USA.
Background: Effective detection of cognitive impairment in the primary care setting is limited by lack of time and specialized expertise to conduct detailed objective cognitive testing and few well-validated cognitive screening instruments that can be administered and evaluated quickly without expert supervision. We therefore developed a model cognitive screening program to provide relatively brief, objective assessment of a geriatric patient's memory and other cognitive abilities in cases where the primary care physician suspects but is unsure of the presence of a deficit.
Methods: Referred patients were tested during a 40-min session by a psychometrist or trained nurse in the clinic on a brief battery of neuropsychological tests that assessed multiple cognitive domains.
Risk factors for long-term severe tricuspid regurgitation following mitral valve replacement: a retrospective study.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Xuzhou Central Hospital, No.199 Jiefang South Road, Quanshan District, Xuzhou, 221009, People's Republic of China.
Background: The aim of this study is to identify factors associated with the development of long-term severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following mitral valve replacement (MVR).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 308 patients who underwent single-valve MVR at Xuzhou Central Hospital between April 2017 and December 2022. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasound indicated that all patients had either no or mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation.
Risk factors for re-hospitalization within 90 days of discharge for severe influenza in children.

Background: Influenza virus is a contagious respiratory pathogen that can cause severe acute infections with long-term adverse outcomes. For paediatric patients at high risk of severe influenza, the readmission and the associated risk factors remain unclear.
Methods: Children discharged with a diagnosis of severe or critical influenza from October 2021 to March 2022 were included.
