Purpose: The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the effectiveness of promoted resilience intervention to facilitate resilience, self-efficacy, coping mode, and social support for oesophageal cancer patients in rural China.
Methods: A two-arm, parallel design, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted in a comprehensive tertiary hospital in Anhui from August 2021 to September 2022. A total of 82 oesophageal cancer patients were assigned to two groups via blocked randomization. The intervention group (n = 41) received the Promoted Psychological Resilience Intervention based on survivors' experiences and the control group (n = 41) received routine care. Study data were collected using the sociodemographic information, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and Perceived Social Support Scale.
Results: The groups were well-balanced at baseline. Post-intervention and three months after intervention, the resilience, self-efficacy, acceptance-resignation, and social support were all significantly different in the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05 for each). The main effect of group, time, and the interaction between group and time was statistically significant in the scores of resilience, self-efficacy, acceptance-resignation, and social support, except for the factor of self-determination and friends support (p < 0.05 for each).
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that an intervention program based on the experiences of long-term oesophageal cancer survivors can promote patients' resilience.

Unlabelled: Most of the available tools to assess adherence to Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) were constructed for adults, having limited applicability to children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to validate a specific questionnaire to assess adherence to MedDiet in children aged 3 to 6 years (MED4CHILD questionnaire). The validation was performed in a baseline examination of a cohort of children who were recruited in schools in seven cities.

Objectives: Tested the prospective relationship of a resilient personality prototype determined prior to disability onset to well-being among persons with and without debilitating functional impairments nine to 10 years later. A resilient profile was expected to predict well-being through its beneficial associations with positive affect, perceived control and social support.
Design: Longitudinal, prospective observation study.

Over recent years, automated Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has been an area of concern for many researchers due to its widespread application in surveillance systems, healthcare environments, and many more. This has led researchers to develop coherent and robust systems that efficiently perform HAR. Although there have been many efficient systems developed to date, still, there are many issues to be addressed.

The rapid advancement of tactile electronic skin (E-skin) has highlighted the effectiveness of incorporating bionic, force-sensitive microstructures in order to enhance sensing performance. Among these, cilia-like microstructures with high aspect ratios, whose inspiration is mammalian hair and the lateral line system of fish, have attracted significant attention for their unique ability to enable E-skin to detect weak signals, even in extreme conditions. Herein, this review critically examines recent progress in the development of cilia-inspired bionic tactile E-skin, with a focus on columnar, conical and filiform microstructures, as well as their fabrication strategies, including template-based and template-free methods.
