AI Article Synopsis
- A root cause analysis (RCA) was studied for its effectiveness in treating elderly patients with acute pancreatitis, focusing on identifying underlying issues and proposing solutions.
- 94 patients were divided into two groups: a control group receiving routine care and an observation group receiving RCA-focused care.
- Results showed that the RCA method led to higher clinical efficacy, lower anxiety and depression scores, fewer complications, and greater patient satisfaction compared to the routine care group.
- The findings suggest that using RCA in treatment could significantly benefit elderly patients suffering from acute pancreatitis.
Article Abstract
Background: A root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured method used to address problems. It seeks to identify the root causes of problems, and proposes solutions to achieve an ultimate goal. This study sought to investigate the effects of an RCA in treating elderly patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods: 94 patients with AP, who had been admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020, were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into two groups using the random number table method. Each group comprised 47 patients. The control group received routine care, while the observation group underwent RCA care. The clinical efficacy, patients' negative emotions before and after the intervention, the incidence of complications, and patients' levels of satisfaction with the nursing they received were compared between the two groups.
Results: The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Scale scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group after the 2-week intervention (P<0.05). The incidence of total complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The observation group's level of satisfaction with the nursing they received was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The RCA method can improve clinical efficacy, relieve negative emotion, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve the level of satisfaction with nursing of elderly patients with AP. It is worthy of promotion.

Background: There is no standardization within hand and upper-extremity surgery regarding which patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are collected and reported. This limits the ability to compare or combine cohorts that utilize different PROMs. The aim of this study was to develop a linkage model for the QuickDASH (shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and PROMIS PF CAT (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function computerized adaptive testing) instruments to allow interconversion between these PROMs in a hand surgery population.

CesA proteins response to arsenic stress in rice involves structural and regulatory mechanisms, highlighting the role of BES1/BZR1 transcript levels under arsenate exposure and significant downregulation of BZR1 protein expression. Plants interact with several hazardous metalloids during their life cycle through root and soil connection. One such metalloid, is arsenic and its perilous impact on rice cultivation is a well-known threat.

Malaria remains a significant public health problem in India. Although temperature influences Anopheline mosquito feeding intervals, population density, and longevity, the reproductive potential of the Plasmodium parasite and rainfall influence the availability of larval habitats, and evidence to correlate the impact of climatic factors on the incidence of malaria is sparse. Understanding the influence of climatic factors on malaria transmission will help us predict the future spread and intensification of the disease.

The accurate measurement of spatiotemporal parameters, such as step length and step frequency, is crucial for analyzing running and sprinting performance. Traditional methods like video analysis and force platforms are either time consuming or limited in scope, prompting the need for more efficient technologies. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a commercial Global Positioning System (GPS) unit integrated with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in capturing these parameters during sprints at varying velocities.

Background/aims: India's linguistic and cultural diversity necessitates a region-specific validated Visual Functioning Questionnaire. The objective of this study was to translate the Indian Vision Function Questionnaire-33 (IND-VFQ-33) into the Kannada language and test its psychometric properties, underlying factor structure, and model fit.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 330 participants, and basic psychometric properties (reliability, convergent, discriminant, construct validity, responsiveness, etc.
