Objectives: The number of people in Western countries on long-term sick-leave and disability pension due to musculoskeletal complaints and psychological health problems is increasing. The main objective of this study was to examine whether fear-avoidance beliefs, illness perceptions, subjective health complaints, and coping are prognostic factors for return to work after multidisciplinary vocational rehabilitation, and to assess the relative importance and inter-relationship of these factors.
Methods: A prospective cohort study with a 1-year follow-up period was performed. A total of 135 individuals on long-term sick-leave (87 women, mean age 45 years) participated in a 4-week inpatient multidisciplinary vocational rehabilitation programme. The participants had been out of work for an average of 10.5 months.
Results: Fear-avoidance beliefs about work was the most important risk factor for not returning to work, both at 3 months (odds ratio (OR) 3.8; confidence interval (CI) 1.30-11.32) and 1 year (OR 9.5; CI 2.40-37.53) after the intervention. Forty-eight percent of the variance in fear-avoidance beliefs was explained by subjective health complaints, illness perceptions and education. Coping explained only 1% of the variance.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that interventions for these patients should target fear of returning to work and illness perceptions about subjective health complaints.

Department of Neurosurgery, Shenzhen Nanshan People's Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong, People's Republic of China.
Background And Purpose: The treatment effect of consciousness after brain injury is currently uncertain. Thus, this study aimed to retrieve the evidence from neurologists around the world on the management of consciousness disorders in patients with severe brain injury and evaluate and summarize the evidence, providing the guidance on the related management for clinicians.
Methods: Following the evidence summary report standard of Fudan University Center for Evidence-Based Nursing, clinical guidelines, expert consensuses, systematic reviews, and evidence summaries were systematically retrieved from UpToDate; BMJ Best Practice; Guidelines International Network; the Cochrane Library; Embase; PubMed; Sinomed; Web of Science; CNKI; WanFang database; American Academy of Neurology (AAN); American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM); European Academy of Neurology; and National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a process in which impaired perfusion is restored by restoring blood flow and tissue recirculation. Nanomedicine uses cutting-edge technologies that emerge from interdisciplinary influences. In the literature, there are very few in vivo and in vitro studies on how cerium oxide (CeO) affects systemic anti-inflammatory response and inflammation.

Methods: In 2020, the European society for Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN) conducted a cross-sectional survey to identify the existing pediatric nephrology healthcare systems in 48 European countries covering a population of more than 200 million children.
Adaptive average arterial pressure control by multi-agent on-policy reinforcement learning.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Multidisciplinary Center for Infrastructure Engineering, Shenyang University of Technology, Shenyang, 110870, China.
The current research introduces a model-free ultra-local model (MFULM) controller that utilizes the multi-agent on-policy reinforcement learning (MAOPRL) technique for remotely regulating blood pressure through precise drug dosing in a closed-loop system. Within the closed-loop system, there exists a MFULM controller, an observer, and an intelligent MAOPRL algorithm. Initially, a flexible MFULM controller is created to make adjustments to blood pressure and medication dosages.

Background Multimorbidity and polypharmacy are common in older adults and pose a considerable challenge to the health and social care system. They are complex and interrelated concepts in geriatric care that require early detection and patient-centered shared decision-making by multidisciplinary, team-led comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) across all health and social care settings. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the economic burden of multimorbidity and polypharmacy among geriatric patients.
