Objective: To explore the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome and analyze the risk factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: 141 T2DM patients, who were hospitalized in department of endocrinology of our hospital from February 2020 to December 2020, were chosen as research subjects. The patients were divided into an observation group (n=65, T2DM with MCI) and a control group (n=76, T2DM with normal cognitive function) according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score and diagnostic criteria of MCI. Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between MoCA score and influencing factors, and multiple logistic regression analyses were applied to analyze the risk factors of T2DM patients.
Results: Deficiency of kidney essence (34/65, 52.31%) and phlegm obstructing orifices (16/65, 2.62%) were common in T2DM patients with MCI. The observation group had apparently lower MoCA scores than the control group (23.46±3.12 points vs. 27.39±2.56 points, =8.2150, =0.0000). According to the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, age, course of diabetes, homocysteine (HCY) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) were the independent risk factors of MCI, and the education level was a protective factor.
Conclusion: Mental deficiency and phlegm obstruction are common in T2DM patients complicated with MCI. The factors such as age, diabetes course, education degree, HCY and HbAlc are closely related to MCI. The occurrence of MCI in T2DM patients can be prevented by improving the education degree of patients, effective control of blood glucose and reduction of HCY level.

Among the most pressing problems societies face today are economic inequality and the erosion of democratic norms and institutions. In fact the two problems-inequality and democratic erosion-are linked. In a large cross-national statistical study of risk factors for democratic erosion, we establish that economic inequality is one of the strongest predictors of where and when democracy erodes.

Objective: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In particular, functional outcomes of SAH caused by large or giant (≥ 10 mm) ruptured intracranial aneurysms are worsened by high procedure-related complication rates. However, studies describing the risk factors for poor functional outcomes specific to ruptured large/giant aneurysms are sparse.

Objective: To assess factors influencing Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) risk, incorporating maternal demographics, behaviors, medical conditions, pregnancy-related factors, and PM2.5 speciation pollutants exposures.
Methods: Using Florida de-identified birth records, logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess associations between maternal exposure to PM2.

Objective: Hand function, an important component of daily functioning, declines with age, yet the degree to which occupation modifies such declines is largely unknown.Methods: Older adults (≥65) completed an online cross-sectional survey containing a standardized hand function questionnaire, occupation-related questions, and demographic information. Participants were then categorized by their longest-held occupation as Blue Collar or White Collar.
