Putting the broken pieces of life together, Baloch family caregivers' confrontation with schizophrenia: a phenomenological study.
BMC Psychol
January 2025
Nursing Research Center, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran.
Background: Long-term care of patients with schizophrenia, which creates a burden of care, leads to disruption in interactions, social and personal relationships, changes in lifestyle, and shifts in the roles of family members. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of family caregivers who are caring for a family member with schizophrenia within the Baloch ethnicity.
Methods: This is a qualitative study, using a descriptive phenomenological approach.
Cross-talk-free, high extinction ratio, and ultra-compact all‑optical 4 × 2 encoder using graphene-based plasmonic waveguides.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Communications and Electronics, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran.
This paper presents an all-optical 4 × 2 encoder based on graphene-plasmonic waveguides for operation in the wavelength range of 8-12 μm. The basic plasmonic waveguide consists of a silicon (Si) strip and a graphene sheet supported by two dielectric ridges. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are stimulated in the spatial gap between the graphene sheet and the Si strip.

Ann Surg Oncol
January 2025
Departments of Thoracic Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Background: This study proposes a modified lymph node (LN) staging category (BALN) on the basis of the number of positive LNs before (prepN) and after (ypN) neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) to improve prognostic stratification in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Patients And Methods: A total of 381 patients with ESCC who underwent nCRT at three medical centers were retrospectively enrolled. The ypN categories were scored according to the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee of Cancer (AJCC) staging manual.
Predictive value of temporal muscle thickness for prognosis in newly diagnosed IDH wild-type glioblastoma patients: evaluated for a Chinese population.
Eur Radiol
January 2025
Department of Neurointervention, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of Temporal Muscle Thickness (TMT) in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma.
Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type genotype glioblastoma, who underwent surgical treatment and concurrent chemoradiotherapy at our center between May 2019 and May 2023. Multi-model and multivariate Cox regression were used to examine factors associated with overall and progression-free survival.
Effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib calcineurin inhibitor in interstitial lung disease secondary to anti-MDA5-positive dermatomyositis: a multi-centre cohort study.
Eur Respir J
January 2025
Department of Rheumatology, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China
Objective: To compare the effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib (TOF) calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) as initial immunosuppressive regimen for anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5-positive dermatomyositis with interstitial lung disease (MDA5+DM-ILD).
Methods: Adult Chinese patients with newly-diagnosed MDA5+DM-ILD (ILD course<3 months) from five tertiary referral centres between April 2014 and January 2023 were included for this retrospective cohort study. The primary effectiveness endpoint was lung transplantation-free survival within 1 year.
