Aim: To investigate the risk factors and optimize the management of entrapped temporal horn (ETH) following lateral ventricular tumor surgery.
Material And Methods: We reviewed 41 cases of lateral ventricular tumors treated at the department of neurosurgery of our institution between January 2012 and September 2020. We summarized and analyzed the preoperative symptoms, intraoperative conditions, postoperative complications of the entrapped temporal horn, treatment measures, and recovery.
Results: Of the 41 patients, 14 (34.1%) had ETH complications. A univariate analysis revealed that the tumor location, tumor diameter, the intraoperative use of hemostatic materials, no extraventricular drainage (EVD) was placed at the end of the operation, tumor stroke, the exposure mode of the tumor boundary, and postoperative meningitis were potential risk factors for the development of ETH. A multivariate binary logistic stepwise regression analysis revealed that tumor diameter ≥3.2 cm (OR=14.808, p=0.037), tumor stroke (OR=50.793, p=0.015), non-EVD (OR=0.023, p=0.033), and the mechanical separation of the tumor boundary (OR=30.617, p=0.045) were risk factors for ETH.
Conclusion: ETH often occurs following the surgery of lateral ventricle tumors. Large tumor diameter, tumor stroke, non-EVD at the end of operation, and the mechanical separation of the tumor boundary are the risk factors of ETH. The natural exposure of the tumor boundary during surgery, avoiding the use of hemostatic materials, placing an EVD tube at the end of operation, and postoperative infection control can effectively reduce the occurrence of ETH. It is essential to select the appropriate treatment method for patients with postoperative ETH.

Aim: To explore the holistic impact of socioeconomic and mental health inequalities on the global burden of type 2 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study used data on the incidence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and mortality of type 2 diabetes as well as DALYs attributable to risk factors during 1990-2021 from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was applied to assess the temporal trends from 1990 to 2021.

Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) is a critical determinant influencing the short-term prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and is associated with increased mortality rates among hospitalized individuals. AIS frequently coexists with coronary heart disease (CHD), complicating treatment and leading to more severe symptoms and worse outcomes. Shared risk factors between CHD and AIS, especially elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), contribute to atherosclerosis and inflammation, which worsen brain tissue damage.

Aims: Previous studies have shown that eGDR and TyG, as indicators of insulin resistance (IR), were key risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study further explored the relationship between eGDR change and new-onset CVD, and compared the predictive value of eGDR change, eGDR and TyG.
Materials And Methods: A total of 2895 participants without CVD at baseline from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included, using K-means clustering and cumulative eGDR to measure eGDR change between 2012 and 2015.
Development of an online psychological intervention to prevent depression in patients with atrial fibrillation: lessons learned in a user-centered design study.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Approximately 30% of patients with atrial fibrillation suffer from depression. Depression in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with poor health outcomes, reduced health-related quality of life, and elevated societal costs. Preventing depression in this population may therefore lead to better health outcomes for the individual patient and reduced burden on society.

Background: Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause more rapid progression to cirrhosis than HCV-monoinfection. In this study, incident HCV case (IHCV)s were investigated in a HIV clinic in Korea.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective HIV cohort was constructed who visited National Medical Center in Korea from 2013 to 2022 and performed ≥ 1 anti-HCV antibody tests (anti-HCV) during the study period.
