Establishment and Validation of a Pathologic Upgrade Prediction Nomogram Model for Gastric Low-Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia Patients After the Eradication of .

Background: As yet, there is no unified method of treatment for the evaluation and management of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) worldwide.

Methods: Patients with gastric LGIN who had been treated with eradication were gathered retrospectively. Based on several relevant characteristics described and analyzed by LASSO regression analysis and multivariable logistic regression, a prediction nomogram model was established.

The Relationship of the Type of Intracerebral Hemorrhage to Early Disease Evolution and Long-Term Prognosis After r-tPA Thrombolysis.

To investigate the relationship of different subtypes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to early disease evolution and long-term prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(r-tPA). Seventy ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous r-tPA who underwent computed tomography (CT) within 24 hours after thrombolysis were divided into 4 types (hemorrhagic infarction type 1 [HI-1], HI-2, parenchymal hemorrhage type 1 [PH-1], or PH-2 which according to the size of the hematoma and the presence or absence of space-occupying effect). Early evolution of the disease was observed by the change in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score within 24 hours after thrombolysis.

Can Acupuncture Improve Chronic Spinal Pain? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To investigate the effect and safety of acupuncture for the treatment of chronic spinal pain.

Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, the WHO Clinical Trial Registry, and the US National Library of Medicine clinical trial registry were searched from January 1, 2000, to November 1, 2019.

A Novel Silicone Fixation Dressing: A Possibly Ideal Method for Drainage Tube Fixation.

Some issues of drainage tube after surgery, such as unplanned extubation and local pain, have been puzzling surgeons. We designed a product that uses a two-way wrap technique to fix the tube in place, absorption pad to absorb excess fluid spill around the tube and a restickable silicone adhersive property which maintains the adhersive strength of the fixation for at least 10 days. The preliminary clinical studies results showed a possibly better fixation property by giving the drainage tube a firmer hold, easy to use device and a relatively painless noninvasive procedure method as compared to the traditional drainage fixation.
