External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) following breast conserving surgery has been shown to improve survival by preventing local recurrence, in the Early Breast Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group meta-analysis (2). Standard radiotherapy typically requires numerous fractions over a 3-5 week period and is performed weeks or months after surgery or chemotherapy.展开更多

In the occurrence and development of glomerulonephritis, proteinuria is themain manifestation, which is easily recurrent but not easily got rid of in a short period of time. It may remain even after disappearance of the general symptoms. In some patients, there are no symptoms and signs at all in the initial stage, except proteinuria, the only distinct manifestation. Prof. Ye Chuanhui, from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has accumulated rich experience for treating this disorder, which is introduced in the following.……展开更多

We conclude that it is an indispensible strategy to give priority to the development of urban sectors to promote economic growth and reduce rural poverty, and that the development of low value-added agriculture yields few, if any, benefits in decreasing rural poverty. By first adopting urban-biased policies and promoting industrialization, China has created new sources of economic growth and urban employment opportunities to absorb the surplus rural workforce. Entering labor-intensive industrial sectors for higher incomes has thus become a critical avenue for the rural poor to benefit from economic growth and escape poverty.展开更多

We therefore reviewed our experience to compare with published data. Methods: Retrospective review of 27 patients who underwent proximal aortic surgery by a single surgeon at an inner city community hospital between May 2004 and April 2015. 16 patients, mean age 51.7 ± 13.6 years old, 75.0% males underwent emergency surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, while 9 with root or ascending aortic aneurysm, mean age 50.3 ± 15.0 years old, 88.9% males had elective proximal aortic surgery. 2 patients with arch aneurysm were excluded. Results: Four (25.0%) patients with acute dissection were in Penn class A, 3 (18.7%) Penn B, 3 (18.7%) Penn C and 6 (37.5%) Penn B+C. 10 (62.5%) patients underwent emergency root replacement with 60.0% (6/10) mortality all related to malperfusion including 2 patients with bloody stools, while 6 (37.5%) underwent supracoronary graft replacement with 16.6% (1/6) mortality from cardiac tamponade. The 5-year survival was 89.0%. In patients with aortic aneurysm, 8 (88.9%) underwent elective root replacement and 1 (11.1%) supracoronary graft replacement with zero mortality. Conclusion: Supracoronary graft replacement is performed for the majority of uncomplicated acute type A dissections and can be undertaken by the average general cardiac surgeon with acceptable results. Visceral malperfusion especially when associated with bloody stools portends a poor prognosis, and aortic dissection should be excluded in any Marfan patient presenting with acute abdomen. Delaying intervention in attempting transfer to a tertiary hospital can potentially increase preoperative mortality, known to rise with each passing hour from onset of acute dissection. Patients presenting therefore to community hospitals should probably undergo surgery there to avoid complications associated with delay.展开更多

In order to remove this contradiction, this phenomenon was studied in depth, theoretically and experimentally, using an experimental setup similar to Faraday’s. Calculations of the induced electromotive force, based on relativity on the one hand and on Faraday’s view on the other were made with the help of measurements of the magnetic field components. Accurate magnetic field measurements are confirmed by analytical calculations. Precise-induced electromotive force measurements confirmed Faraday’s view and contradicted the theory of relativity.展开更多

In the treatment of GA, he adopts the syndrome differentiation based upon the pathogenic factors, in combination of syndrome differentiation based upon the six meridians, to reinforce and benefit the spleen and kidney, clear away heat and remove dampness as the therapeutic principle. By acupuncture mainly at the acupoints of the Spleen and Liver Meridians, he also proposes to select the acupoints by the theory of Na Zi Fa (earthly branch method) ofZi Wu Liu Zhu (midnight-noon ebb-flow), and to puncture the surrounding area of the involved joints shallowly by multiple needles as the major needling method, simultaneously with the reinforcing and reducing manipulations based upon the respiration. In the treatment, acupuncture and acupoint-injection are often used. In diet, low purine diet is often suggested. In health education, the patients are often instructed to understand the disease correctly, eliminate fears and cooperate with doctor's treatment positively.展开更多

They were managed by a team of seven endoscopists on 24-h call whose experience was categorized into two levels (high and low) according to the number of endoscopic hemostatic procedures undertaken before the study. Endoscopic treatment was standardized according to Forrest classification of lesions as well as the subsequent medical therapy. Time of endoscopy was subdivided into two time periods: routine (8 a.m.-5 p.m.) and on-call (5 p.m.-8 a.m.). For each category of experience and time periods rebleeding rate, transfusion requirement, need for surgery, length of hospital stay and mortality we compared. Multivariate analysis was used to discriminate the impact of different variables on the outcomes that were considered.RESULTS: Study population consisted of 272 patients (mean age 67.3 years) with endoscopic stigmata of hemorrhage. The patients were equally distributed among the endoscopists, whereas only 19% of procedures were done out of working hours. Rockall score and Forrest classification at admission did not differ between time periods and degree of experience.Univariate analysis showed that higher endoscopist's experience was associated with significant reduction in rebleeding rate (14% vs 37%), transfusion requirements (1.8±0.6 vs 3.0±1.7 units) as well as surgery (4% vs 10%), but not associated with the length of hospital stay nor mortality. By contrast, outcomes did not significantly differ between the two time periods of endoscopy.On multivariate analysis, endoscopist's experience was independently associated with rebleeding rate and transfusion requirements. Odds ratios for low experienced endoscopist were 4.47 for rebleeding and 6.90 for need of transfusion after the endoscopy.CONCLUSION: Endoscopist's experience is an important independent prognostic factor for non-variceal acute upper GI bleeding. Urgent endoscopy should be undertaken preferentially by a skilled endoscopist as less expert staff tends to underestimate some risk lesions with a negative influence on hemostasis.展开更多

It is shown that there is a spectral shift in the nonparaxial case relative to the paraxial one and the critical position changes, at which the spectral switch occurs. The ratio of the waist width to the central wavelength ω0/λ0 and relative spatial correlation length △ affect the spectral difference. The smaller ω0/λ0 is, the larger the difference between the nonparaxial and paraxial results appears. The effect of relative spatial correlation length △ is relatively small.展开更多

We therefore reviewed our experience to compare with published data.

As against what was</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">expected, and relate this with the information given pre surgery. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Methodology:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Post treatment self-completed questionnaires were administered to consented </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">patients that had dental implants placed between July 2017 and December 2019. The surgical procedure followed the standard protocol and </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">data related to post-surgical experience were collected one week after the surgery</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">to obtain </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">information on the level of pain/discomfort and amount of swelling experienced f</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">ollowing surgery. The effect of the information on coping ability following surgery was also assessed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">p</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> value ≤</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">0.05)</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">.</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Results:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Twenty-seven patients received 44 implants to replace 48 teeth. The mean age of the patients was 45</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">±</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">16.3</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">(SD) years. Teeth mostly replaced were the maxillary central incisors (39.6%). </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The majority of the patients 77.7% reported to experience less pain/discomfort </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">than expected and 66.6% had less swelling than expected. While 29.6% felt they had excellent explanation of what to expect,</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">51.9% said they had good explanation.</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The post-surgical experience between males and females was not statistically significant</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">(pain</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">:</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> p</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">= 0.08, swelling</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">:</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">p</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">= 0.64). However, the majority </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">(8/12) that had good to excellent information preoperatively, had significa</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">ntly </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">less discomfort than expected. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Conclusion: </span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Positive, encouraging and satisfactor</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">y experience of patients following implant surgical procedure is related to adequate and correct information pre-surgery.</span>

文摘Objective:Post-stroke urinary incontinence(UI)is one of the sequelae of stroke.This situation affects all aspects of the patient’s life–physically,psychologically,socially,and spiritually.This study aimed to investigate the experience of patients’success in facing a post-stroke UI.Methods:A qualitative study using the Rapid Assessment Procedure(RAP)approach was used in this study.Informants were selected using purposive sampling.In-depth interviews with as many as 8 patients who had recovered from post-stroke UI and living in the greater area of Southeast Sulawesi(Indonesia)were conducted.In-depth interviews were also conducted with 8 caregivers and 2 nurses.Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach and interpretation of data was based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing.Results:Five successful things the patients experienced during post-stroke UI were identified.The five successes were as follows:they provided information to get to know and understand post-stroke UI,followed the procedures to overcome post-stroke UI,conducted self-control exercises and stayed motivated,performed daily activities independently according to ability,and made use of family suppor t and peers’attention.Conclusions:These findings indicated that persistence,belief,independence,and social support(family and peer)made patients to successfully face their post-stroke UI and improved their quality of life.These findings also became the basis for developing a poststroke UI management model based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing.

文摘Starting from the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral, this paper studies the spectral behavior in Young's experiment illuminated by nonparaxial partially coherent light and compares with the paraxial case, where the influence of nonparaxiality of partially coherent light on the spectral shifts and spectral switches is stressed. It is shown that there is a spectral shift in the nonparaxial case relative to the paraxial one and the critical position changes, at which the spectral switch occurs. The ratio of the waist width to the central wavelength ω0/λ0 and relative spatial correlation length △ affect the spectral difference. The smaller ω0/λ0 is, the larger the difference between the nonparaxial and paraxial results appears. The effect of relative spatial correlation length △ is relatively small.
