Background This study aimed to identify factors affecting the length of hospital stay (LOS) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II, with a focus on patient-dependent determination of discharge. The goal was to explore strategies to shorten LOS. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 398 patients (494 knees) who underwent primary TKA.

Introduction: In this study, we assessed whether the ratio of glucose management index (GMI) to glycated albumin (GA) was linked to microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who also possessed a shortened erythrocyte lifespan.
Methods: This study encompassed individuals from the Tianjin Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Cohort who completed continuous glucose monitoring and had an erythrocyte lifespan of under 90 days. Differences in GMI/GA were compared between the T2DM patients with or without microvascular complications, including diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Objective: Improper use of human albumin (HA) is now common in clinical settings. This study aims to explore the feasibility of the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle in promoting the rational use of HA.
Methods: The differences between the control and observation groups (after the PDCA cycle) in terms of serum albumin detection rate, serum albumin values, HA usage, and rationality were analysed and compared using a before-and-after control method.

Background: Acute cholecystitis (AC) is increasingly common and imposes a burden on healthcare systems, particularly in the elderly population. While laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the definitive treatment, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is often preferred based on various factors. The treatment of elderly patients requires a multidisciplinary approach that carefully assesses surgical risks due to age-related changes and comorbidities.

Resistance by bacteria to available antibiotics is a threat to human health, which demands the development of new antibacterial agents. Considering the prevailing conditions, we have developed a library of new naphthalimide-coumarin moieties as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents to fight against awful drug resistance. Preliminary studies indicate that compounds and display excellent antibacterial activity against , exceeding the performance of marketed drug amoxicillin.
