Mood disorders are common problems in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, most clinical treatment focus on anti-viral and anti-fibrosis rather than taking care of mood disorders. In the past decades, we have developed a Chinese medicine treatment method together with nursing intervention, which shows a positive treatment effect on patients. 158 cases of hepatitis B patients were randomly divided into one control group (78 cases), and one observation group (80 cases). The patients in control group received hepatology nursing, liver protecting and transaminase lowering medicine, and ear acupoint bean pressing treatment. In addition to the nursing and treatment as the control group, the patients in observation group were given targeted nursing interventions, including psychological intervention, emotional intervention, cognitive intervention, and systematic family and community support intervention. The anxiety level and sleep quality of patients in both groups were compared. The improvement of hepatic indexes was checked and life qualities in both groups were also compared. Compared to the control group, the patients in the observation group provided have statistically significant mprovement on anxiety control, sleep quality, and hepatic indexes changes (P<0.05). The observation group also showed remarkably better life quality scores (GQLI-64) than the control group (P<0.01). This research confirmed that targeted nursing intervention coupled with ear acupoint bean pressing showed effective improvement on the anxiety control and sleep quality of chronic hepatic B patients, and demonstrated better hepatic index recovery. Patients in the observation group also have higher life quality scores than the control group.

Objective: This ancillary study's purpose is to describe the relationship between dose of treatment and body mass index (BMI) outcomes in a tele-behavioral health program delivered in the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network to children and their families living in rural communities.
Methods: Participants randomized to the intervention were able to receive 26 contact hours (15 hr of group sessions and 11 hr of individual sessions) of material focused on nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral caregiver training delivered via interactive televideo. Dose of the intervention received by child/caregiver dyads (n = 52) from rural areas was measured as contact hours.

Background: The online nature of decision aids (DAs) and related e-tools supporting women's decision-making regarding breast cancer screening (BCS) through mammography may facilitate broader access, making them a valuable addition to BCS programs.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the scientific evidence on the impacts of these e-tools and to provide a comprehensive assessment of the factors associated with their increased utility and efficacy.
Methods: We followed the 2020 PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and conducted a search of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases from August 2010 to April 2023.

Background: Lifestyle interventions have been acknowledged as effective strategies for preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the accessibility of conventional face-to-face interventions is often limited. Digital health intervention has been suggested as a potential solution to overcome the limitation.

Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease primarily treated through molecular-targeted therapies. However, emerging evidence suggests that dietary interventions may also play a role in managing inflammation associated with this condition. The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), prevalent in southern European countries, has been widely recognized for its ability to reduce cardiovascular mortality, largely due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
