文摘To present the advances of evidence-based medicine and clinical research methodology in integrative oncology,we conducted a literature review of real-world studies of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in cancer care and summarized the available evidence.Pragmatic randomized controlled trials(pRCTs)and clinical registry studies are becoming more popular as they could compensate for the limitations of RCTs.Many RCTs of TCM for cancer treatment as well as systematic reviews have been published.The most investigated therapies are based on acupuncture,Chinese herbal compounds,and Chinese patent medicines.Acupuncture has a significant advantage in relieving cancer-related symptoms.Published studies focus more on improving clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators.However,the patient's quality of life deserves more attention.

文摘BACKGROUND Perioperative hypothermia(PH)negatively affects the physical and mental health of patients to varying degrees.Currently,there is no effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)intervention for gynecological patients with PH.AIM To apply the best evidence on the prevention and management of PH in gynecological patients,improve the quality of perioperative evidence-based care based on treatment by an MDT for gynecological patients and analyze the effect of MDT-and evidence-based practice(EBP)projects on the psychological status and cognitive function of gynecological patients with PH.METHODS Under the guidance of knowledge translation and combined with the opinions of involved stakeholders and clinical experts,the best evidence for PH prevention and management in gynecological patients was selected and adjusted to suit the practice setting.Based on the evidence,the practice plan was developed,and the MDT intervention was carried out in the preoperative ward,the preoperative preparation room,the intraoperative operating room,the postanesthesia care unit,and the 24-hour postoperative gynecological ward through the EBP program.The incidence of hypothermia,the nurses’awareness,the implementation rate of examination indicators,and the thermal comfort level,psychological status and cognitive function of patients were compared before and after the implementation of the program.RESULTS The incidence of PH in gynecological patients decreased from 43.33%to 13.33%after the implementation of the scheme.The implementation rate of examination indicators 6-10,12,14,16-18,21,and 22 reached 100%,and that of other indicators was above 90%,except for examination indicators 5 and 13,which was 66.67%;the indices were significantly improved compared with the baseline(before evidence application)(P<0.05).The score of nurses'awareness of PH prevention and management in gynecological patients increased from 60.96±9.70 to 88.08±8.96,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The total score of the perioperative thermal comfort level of patients undergoing gynecological surgery was 27.97±2.04,which was significantly increased compared with the score of 21.27±1.57 observed by researchers at baseline(P<0.001).The perioperative Hamilton Depression Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores of patients undergoing gynecological surgery decreased from 15.03±3.16 and 13.93±2.64 to 4.30±1.15 and 3.53±0.78,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P<0.001).The perioperative Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale score of the gynecological surgery patients increased from 23.17±1.68 to 26.93±1.11,also with statistical significance(P<0.001).CONCLUSION MDT-based EBP for PH prevention and management in gynecological patients during the perioperative period can standardize nursing operations,improve nurses'awareness and behavioral compliance with gynecological hypothermia management,and reduce the occurrence of PH in gynecological patients while playing a positive role in reducing patients’negative emotions and enhancing their cognitive function.
文摘Background:Evidence-based interventions(EBIs)are frequently adapted or modified during the implementation process to meet the needs of the target context,public health professionals,or health practitioners.However,little is known about how the EBIs of the same clinical problem at a different time(sustainability)and a different setting(scalability)should be adapted to facilitate implementation.To address this gap,this research aims to analyze the adaptations process of EBIs by taking post-stroke dysphagia screening as an example based on a series of empirical studies.Methods:We reviewed three best practice implementation projects of post-stroke dysphagia identification and management in China's Mainland,and conducted a comparative analysis of three projects of dysphagia screening practical decision-making according to core elements of evidence-based nursing(EBN).Results:We identified the core elements of EBN that influence decision-making in each best practice implementation project.The decision-making of screening time and tool for dysphagia in the three projects varied.Project 1:Post-stroke dysphagia was screened using Water Swallow Test(WST)before the first intake of liquid or food.Project 2:A sustainability study based on project 1,post-stroke dysphagia was screened using Standardized Swallowing Assessment(SSA)before the first intake of liquid or food,within 24 hours of admission.Project 3:A community scalability study based on project 2,post-stroke dysphagia was screened using Water Swallow Test(WST)before the first intake of liquid or food,within 24 hours after referral.Conclusions:Adaption of EBIs needs to fully consider the best available external evidence from systematic research,clinical expertise,patient preferences,as well as context.
文摘The concept of evidence-based practice has persisted over several years and remains a cornerstone in clinical practice,representing the gold standard for optimal patient care.However,despite widespread recognition of its significance,practical application faces various challenges and barriers,including a lack of skills in interpreting studies,limited resources,time constraints,linguistic competencies,and more.Recently,we have witnessed the emergence of a groundbreaking technological revolution known as artificial intelligence.Although artificial intelligence has become increasingly integrated into our daily lives,some reluctance persists among certain segments of the public.This article explores the potential of artificial intelligence as a solution to some of the main barriers encountered in the application of evidence-based practice.It highlights how artificial intelligence can assist in staying updated with the latest evidence,enhancing clinical decision-making,addressing patient misinformation,and mitigating time constraints in clinical practice.The integration of artificial intelligence into evidence-based practice has the potential to revolutionize healthcare,leading to more precise diagnoses,personalized treatment plans,and improved doctor-patient interactions.This proposed synergy between evidencebased practice and artificial intelligence may necessitate adjustments to its core concept,heralding a new era in healthcare.
文摘Several studies exist in the literature regarding the exploitation of artificial intelligence in intensive care.However,an important gap between clinical research and daily clinical practice still exists that can only be bridged by robust validation studies carried out by multidisciplinary teams.
文摘Objective:To analyze the value of applying evidence-based nursing in the perioperative care of patients with ankle fractures and propose corresponding measures to improve the quality of patient care.Methods:The study started in May 2022 and was terminated in March 2023.During this period,50 patients with ankle fractures treated by our hospital were selected as research subjects.They were divided into a control group and a research group.The control group had 25 patients who received routine care,and the research group had 25 who received evidence-based care.The nursing effects of the two groups were observed and compared.Results:The pain scores,quality of life,incidence of adverse reactions,and nursing satisfaction of patients in the research group were all significantly better than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Evidence-based nursing can effectively improve the quality of care,reduce the risk of adverse reactions,and promote patient recovery,so it is suitable for clinical implementation.

文摘We study the Nadaraya-Watson estimators for the drift function of two-sided reflected stochastic differential equations.The estimates,based on either the continuously observed process or the discretely observed process,are considered.Under certain conditions,we prove the strong consistency and the asymptotic normality of the two estimators.Our method is also suitable for one-sided reflected stochastic differential equations.Simulation results demonstrate that the performance of our estimator is superior to that of the estimator proposed by Cholaquidis et al.(Stat Sin,2021,31:29-51).Several real data sets of the currency exchange rate are used to illustrate our proposed methodology.

文摘Oscillation detection has been a hot research topic in industries due to the high incidence of oscillation loops and their negative impact on plant profitability.Although numerous automatic detection techniques have been proposed,most of them can only address part of the practical difficulties.An oscillation is heuristically defined as a visually apparent periodic variation.However,manual visual inspection is labor-intensive and prone to missed detection.Convolutional neural networks(CNNs),inspired by animal visual systems,have been raised with powerful feature extraction capabilities.In this work,an exploration of the typical CNN models for visual oscillation detection is performed.Specifically,we tested MobileNet-V1,ShuffleNet-V2,Efficient Net-B0,and GhostNet models,and found that such a visual framework is well-suited for oscillation detection.The feasibility and validity of this framework are verified utilizing extensive numerical and industrial cases.Compared with state-of-theart oscillation detectors,the suggested framework is more straightforward and more robust to noise and mean-nonstationarity.In addition,this framework generalizes well and is capable of handling features that are not present in the training data,such as multiple oscillations and outliers.
