Influence of parental attitudes and coping styles on mental health during online teaching in the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the online delivery model became the primary mode of education. With multiple pressures on society and families, mental health issues for parents have become particularly pronounced. Most of the current research has focused on the psychological state of education practitioners and children, with little attention to parents' mental health issues.

May Measurement Month 2021: an analysis of blood pressure screening results from China.

We reported findings from participants screened during the May Measurement Month 2021 in China, which aimed to raise awareness of raised blood pressure (BP), and to investigate the risk factors of BP. The study participants were adults (≥18 years), ideally in whom BP had not been measured in the previous year. Blood pressure was measured three times consecutively with 1 min intervals in the sitting position, using a validated upper-arm cuff automated BP monitor (Omron HEM-7081IT), and transmitted to a central cloud database via a smartphone app.

Comparative analysis of pressure ulcer development in stroke patients within and outside healthcare facilities: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The risk of pressure ulcers in stroke patients is a significant concern, impacting their recovery and quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate the prevalence and risk factors of pressure ulcers in stroke patients, comparing those in healthcare facilities with those in home-based or non-clinical environments. The study aims to elucidate how different care settings affect the development of pressure ulcers, serving as a crucial indicator of patient care quality and management across diverse healthcare contexts.

Two mechanical thrombectomies in acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours: A case report on a patient with atrial fibrillation.

Mechanical thrombectomy is the gold standard in treating acute ischemic stroke complicated by large vessel occlusion. However, there are limited studies on repeated mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. In this case, we report a 68-year-old male with atrial fibrillation who developed sudden left limb weakness and motor aphasia for 6 hours, and his National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 10.

Gender differences in psychiatric outpatients: a before and during COVID-19 pandemic study in general hospitals from China.

Background: Little is known about the gender characteristics and the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) impact on psychiatric department outpatients in general hospitals in China.

Methods: We retrospectively collected 225,947 outpatient clinic records before and during COVID-19 pandemic from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020 in the psychiatric clinic of 3 general hospitals, gender composition of patients was analyzed in different five age groups and nine diagnostic categories at three levels: total patient visits, number of patients and number of first-visit patients.

Results: The total male-to-female ratio of psychiatric outpatient records in 3 general hospitals from 2019 to 2020 was 1:1.

Development, Validation, and Comparison of Image-Based, Clinical Feature-Based and Fusion Artificial Intelligence Diagnostic Models in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Pulmonary Ground-Glass Nodules.

Objective: This study aimed to develop effective artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic models based on CT images of pulmonary nodules only, on descriptional and quantitative clinical or image features, or on a combination of both to differentiate benign and malignant ground-glass nodules (GGNs) to assist in the determination of surgical intervention.

Methods: Our study included a total of 867 nodules (benign nodules: 112; malignant nodules: 755) with postoperative pathological diagnoses from two centers. For the diagnostic models to discriminate between benign and malignant GGNs, we adopted three different artificial intelligence (AI) approaches: a) an image-based deep learning approach to build a deep neural network (DNN); b) a clinical feature-based machine learning approach based on the clinical and image features of nodules; c) a fusion diagnostic model integrating the original images and the clinical and image features.
