E-health literacy in stroke patients: Latent profile analysis and influencing factors.

Aims: This study sought to explore latent categories of electronic health (e-health) literacy among stroke patients and analyse its influencing factors.

Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive exploratory design with the STROBE reporting checklist was applied.

Methods: Between July and October 2020, 558 stroke participants from three tertiary care hospitals in Henan Province, China, were recruited using a convenience sampling method.

Second trimester screening for the basilar artery: a new approach using slowflowHD.

Objectives: Sonographic evaluation of the basilar artery is challenging, and a limited number of reports are available about the prenatal period, as manual positioning of probes is technically difficult. The objective of this study was to describe a sonographic transabdominal approach based on slowflow HD for screening of the basilar artery during the second trimester scan.

Methods: A total of 49 women who were enrolled in a second trimester screening were included when the fetus was in the occipitoanterior position.

Effects of different therapy regimens to increase final adult height in males at advanced bone age with idiopathic short stature.

Background: This retrospective study explored the effect on adult height of a combination of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and aromatase inhibitors (AIs), or rhGH and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa), and compared their effects with rhGH alone in males at advanced bone age with idiopathic short stature (ISS).

Methods: In this retrospective study, rhGH or rhGH combined with GnRHa or rhGH combined with AI therapy was given to males with advanced bone age (13-15 years) and diagnosed with ISS. The patients were followed to assess their adult height.

FTACMT study protocol: a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial of faecal microbiota transplantation for autism spectrum disorder.

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complicated diffuse developmental disorder that commonly involves gastrointestinal distress and dysbacteriosis. Emerging lines of evidence have shown faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to be a potential therapeutic strategy for improving the clinical outcomes of patients with ASD by re-establishing their intestinal microflora. We are undertaking the first-ever multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial of FMT for the treatment of children with both ASD and gastrointestinal symptoms and will assess the feasibility and efficacy outcomes of this strategy.

The TBX1/miR-193a-3p/TGF-2 Axis Mediates CHD by Promoting Ferroptosis.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common noninfectious cause of death during the neonatal stage. T-box transcription factor 1 (TBX1) is the main genetic determinant of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.

Uterine dehiscence in pregnant with previous caesarean delivery.

Background: The main risk factor for uterine scar dehiscence is a previous caesarean section. Better characterisation of the ultrasonographic features of uterine scar dehiscence may improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy in pregnant women with a caesarean scar. This study aimed to evaluate the ultrasonographic features of uterine scar dehiscence in pregnant women and maternal and neonatal outcomes.
