Effect of Electroacupuncture Treatment on Bladder Function and Urodynamic Features of Neurogenic Bladder in Stroke: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Neurogenic bladder dysfunction is a common consequence of stroke, and it substantially impacts the quality of life and functional independence of affected individuals. Traditional treatment modalities have limitations in achieving optimal outcomes. This study aims to explore the effects of electroacupuncture treatment on bladder function and neurogenic bladder urodynamic characteristics in stroke patients.

Evaluation of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Strategies in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019-Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

Different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) strategies are available for subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. We aimed to evaluate three conventional PEEP strategies on their effects on respiratory mechanics, gas exchanges, and hemodynamics. This is a prospective, physiologic, multicenter study conducted in China.

An analysis of clinical values of MRI, CT and X-ray in differentiating benign and malignant bone metastases.

Objective: To investigate the clinical values of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and X-ray in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant bone metastases.

Methods: A total of 80 patients with bone metastases admitted to our hospital were selected as the study subjects. X-ray, CT and MRI examinations were performed, respectively.

A correlation analysis of short-term imaging manifestations and long-term function using ROC curve after tibial fracture surgery.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between short-term imaging techniques and long-term function using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve after tibia fracture surgery.

Methods: Seventy patients with tibia fracture admitted to our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and were divided into a < 60 years old group (n = 40) and a ≥ 60 years old group (n = 30), a removed internal fixation group (n = 26) and a retained internal fixation group (n = 44). The short-term imaging results, long-term function, the degree of pain, the range of ankle joint motion, and the subjective satisfaction of patient care were scored and compared among the four groups.
