Objective: Aim: To access the neurological manifestations and activities of daily living in patients with encephalopathy of one of the following types: post-infectious, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, alcohol-induced, and microvascular ischemic disease of the brain.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: In the period of 2021-2022 we examined 520 patients, who signed the informed consent, taking into account their age, sex, occupation, the cause, and the disease duration. Such parameters were evaluated, as the data of neurological manifestations, the activities of daily living (Barthel index), cognitive functioning (MoCA-test), and statistical methods (Statistica 13.0).
Results: Results: A probable influence of the age factor on the frequency of occurrence of different types of encephalopathies was established (χ2=235.05; p<0.001). The cognitive impairment was diagnosed in 53.79 % of patients with CTE, 66.21% with SVD, and 58.82% with AE. 40% of patients with CTE are dependent on their activities of daily living, among patients with SVD - 31,72 %, among patients with AE - 44.12%, among patients with PIE - 53.91%. 17.97% of patients with PIE had moderate dependence by the Barthel index. Thus, the severity of disability doesn't depend on the age or sex of patients but is correlating with the duration of the disease.
Conclusion: Conclusions: The neurological manifestations in patients with encephalopathies and their activities of daily living were studied profoundly and the data obtained opened new directions in the following research.

Objective: Early diagnosis of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is crucial for improving the outcomes of critically ill patients. Hence, this study was designed to identify predisposing factors for ICUAW and establish a predictive model for the early diagnosis of ICUAW.
Methods: This prospective observational multicenter study included septic patients from the comprehensive ICUs of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and 10 other hospitals between September and November 2023.

Department of Nephrology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 58th, Zhongshan Road II, Guangzhou, 510080, Guangdong, PR China.
Background: The high prevalence and prolonged duration of inflow pain and drain pain experienced by peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients following PD catheter implantation impact their quality of life. However, there is limited data on the frequency and predisposing factors of these pains in the Chinese population undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
Methods: This study encompassed individuals who underwent peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation at our institution from September 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325000, China.
Background: The Weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) has emerged as a predictive factor for a range of metabolic disorders. To date, the predictive value of the WWI in relation to sarcopenia in individuals with diabetics has not been extensively explored. This study aims to investigate the impact of the WWI on the prevalence of sarcopenia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Background: Evidence is lacking on whether chronic pain is related to the risk of cancer mortality. This study seeks to unveil the association between chronic pain and all-cause, cancer, as well as non-cancer death in cancer patients based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.
Methods: Cancer survivors aged at least 20 (n = 1369) from 3 NHANES (1999-2004) cycles were encompassed.
