To observe the clinical significance of modified sling in the treatment of moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI). ⋯ The efficacy of the modified sling in the treatment of moderate SUI is the same as that of the traditional sling, but the operation time is shorter, the operation is simpler, and the local pain is significantly reduced.

Advanced cardiovascular surgery in structural heart disease require accurate pre-operative evaluation. Most of non-invasive imaging technologies remain limited in two-dimensional and show insufficiency of visualization for procedural planning. The aim of this study was to discuss the value of patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D) printing in treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). ⋯ The proposed optimal 3D-modelled septal myectomy allows intraoperative monitoring of the shape and volume of the myocardium resection to achieve the 'ideal' interventricular septum. It eliminates obstruction in the LVOT and SAM, resulting in LV remodeling with an increase in LV end-diastolic volume and diameter at early follow-up.
-
To assess risk of fetal growth restriction (FGR) by combined screening in early and mid-pregnancy. ⋯ The predictive efficiency of combined FGR screening in early and mid-pregnancy surpasses that of simple mid-pregnancy screening. It is recommended to use the integrated screening program in early and mid-pregnancy to predict FGR.
-
To investigate the clinical application values of procalcitonin (PCT), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in the early diagnosis of sepsis. ⋯ Compared with hs-CRP and SAA, PCT had a higher clinical application value for sepsis, and PCT could be used as a reliable index for the early diagnosis of sepsis.

To evaluate the effects of structured exercise regime on Glycosylated hemoglobin and C reactive protein in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. ⋯ Structured exercise regime helps in reducing values of glycosylated hemoglobin and C reactive protein in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.
