Effect of Individualized Nutrition Intervention Care Combined with Swallowing Training on Postoperative Nutritional Status in Patients with Laryngeal Cancer

Introduction: Laryngeal carcinoma accounts for 13.9% of head and neck tumors, and squamous cell carcinoma is the main pathological type. At present, the treatment of laryngeal cancer is mainly surgical treatment or postoperative radiotherapy. The surgery is delicate, complex, time-consuming and traumatic. Postoperative patients are prone to dysphagia, leading to an increase in the incidence of malnutrition. Malnutrition can cause a series of negative effects, including weight loss, increased incidence of infection, reduced tolerance of anti-tumor treatment, and extended length of hospital stay. Therefore, how to effectively improve the nutritional status of laryngeal cancer patients through nursing intervention has become an important topic of nursing research. Objective: Investigate the effect of individualized nutrition intervention care combined with swallowing training on postoperative nutritional status in patients with laryngeal cancer. Methods: A total of 120 consecutive patients who underwent laryngeal surgery at our hospital for the first time between May 2018 and May 2021 were selected for the study and equally divided into the control group and the study group by the random number table method, with 60 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were given swallowing function training and health counseling, and the study group adopted individualized nutrition intervention care based on the control group. The nutritional status, swallowing function, and quality of life (QOL) of the patients were assessed using the Patient-generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core30 (QLQ-C30) before the intervention and three months after the intervention. Results: Before the intervention, the scores of MDADI, PG-SGA, and QLQ-C30 were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05), and three months after the intervention, the scores of MDADI and QLQ-C30 increased and the score of PG-SGA decreased in the study group, with significant differences (P 0.05). At three months after the intervention, patients in the study group had higher scores on MDADI, QLQ-C30 and lower scores on PG-SGA than the control group, with significant differences (P Conclusion: Combining individualized nutrition intervention care with swallowing training improves the postoperative nutritional status, swallowing function, and QOL of patients with laryngeal cancer.

The Role and Safety of Personalized Care in Improving Thrombocytopenia after Lymphoma Chemotherapy

Objective:To explore and analyze the effect and safety of personalized nursing in improving thrombocytopenia after lymphoma chemotherapy.Methods:80 lymphoma patients with thrombocytopenia after lymphoma chemotherapy in the Department of Hematology of our hospital from May 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into an experimental group and reference group by random drawing,with 40 cases in each group.The experimental group received individualized nursing,and the reference group received routine nursing.The platelet count,platelet-related indicators,incidence of adverse reactions,and life scores were compared between the two groups.Results:Before the intervention,there was no significant difference in platelet count between the groups(P>0.05);after the intervention,the platelet count in the experimental group was significantly higher compared to the reference group(P<0.05).In the experimental group,the duration for platelet decline and the time for platelets to normalize were notably shorter compared to the reference group(P<0.05).Moreover,the personality group displayed a significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions than the reference group(P<0.05).Prior to the intervention,there were no statistically significant differences(P>0.05)in the life scores between the two groups,such as functional condition,symptom manifestation,and health scores among the groups.However,post-intervention,the personality group exhibited a significant improvement in those scores compared to the reference group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Individualized nursing can optimize the platelet level in thrombocytopenia after lymphoma chemotherapy,improve symptoms,and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.

Nursing care of 25 children with Kawasaki disease

Objective The aim of this study is to estimate the incidence and describe the diagnosis,treatment and nursing care of Kawasaki Disease among children in Guilin city,Guangxi Province,China.The study is also designed to assess clinical aspects of retrospection,management and outcome,specifically in relation to cardiac disease.Methods To retrospectively collected the clinical data of pediatric patients with Kawasaki's disease at the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University in China,which covered a two-year period from 2015 to 2016.Results During the two-year study period,a total of 25 cases of Kawasaki disease were reported in the hospitals,comprising of 11 boys and 14 girls(male-female ratio was 1∶1.27).The seasonal distribution showed a slightly higher incidence in spring and summer.The patients’mean age of onset was 2.78 years old.The average hospitalization days of patients were 8.08(range from 5 to18days).16 Kawasaki patients were diagnosed as bronchial pneumonia.Coronary arterial abnormalities were detected during follow up by UCG in 5 cases,but no coronary artery aneurysm was found.All 25 patients recovered and were discharged from the hospital.Conclusion Early treatment and proper nursing management are key issues to prevent the occurrence of coronary artery aneurysm in Kawasaki Disease patients.

Comparison of Two Types of Nursing Application in PACU Affect Postoperative Satisfaction

The very key element in quality of nursing care is individualized nursing care. Individual differences among patients in terms of their health, illness, social classes and cultural background which lead to different needs emphasize on providing individualized care. And it is strongly related to postoperative care satisfaction. In fact, it tailored nm,ning activities with unique peculiarity of each patient. Actually, it changes all standardized nursing procedures and activities. We aimed to look into the differences between those two types of nursing application in postanesthesia care unit （PACU）, affect postoperative care satisfaction in the research. Methods： We conducted a prospective control study that included 325 patients ,randomly divided into two groups： Individualized nursing care group and ordinary nursing care group, undergoing general anesthesia. The 2 groups of patients were similar in respect to gender distribution, age, and type of surgery and had been admitted into the PACU after elective surgery. Data was collected by interviewing with patients using Satisfaction Questionnaire （North Health Service Hospital Consumer Assessment Works by and service systems （H C A H P S） in patients over Meaning of the questionnaire Chinese Translation Version ） , after assessing its content validity and reliability with Chronbach＇s alpha method. Using SPSS ver. 17 to analysis data .Results： General information on the two groups were no statistically significant differences （P〉 0. 05）. Individualized nursing care group （98.2%） compared with the ordinary nursing care group satisfaction （92%） significantly increased （P 〈0. 01）. Conclusions： Deployment of individualized nursing care in PACU can significantly improve postoperative satisfaction compared to ordinary nursing care.

Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery – an interventional glaucoma revolution

The glaucoma surgical landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade with the introduction and integration of micro-invasive glaucoma surgery(MIGS)techniques.These modalities target physiologic outflow pathways or optimize previously utilized glaucoma surgical methods in order to deliver safety,efficacy,and individualized care to the patient.MIGS techniques can be classified based on anatomical location as well as method of intraocular pressure(IOP)reduction.This review will focus on MIGS optimizing the conventional outflow pathway via intervention at Schlemm’s canal,MIGS optimizing the uveoscleral outflow pathway via suprachoroidal shunting,and MIGS optimizing the transscleral or subconjunctival outflow pathway which has long been utilized by glaucoma surgeons performing traditional filtration procedures.The wide array of currently available MIGS modalities can be staggering to the glaucoma care provider,but an understanding of the landscape and the large classes of interventional strategies can allow for clinical decision making based on the specifics of the patient’s needs and the pathophysiology of their disease.
