To investigate the correlations of cognitive function with serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and leptin in patients with schizophrenia. ⋯ Increased levels of Hcy and SHBG and decreased leptin are strongly associated with the occurrence of cognitive impairment in SCZ cases. Therefore, clinical observation and monitoring of these markers can help identify changes in patient conditions.
-
To compare and find out the relationship between psychological distress, general health and life satisfaction among children with thalassemia and children undergoing dialysis. ⋯ Psychological distress is higher in children undergoing hemodialysis and general health is also not good but the level of satisfaction is almost equal between the two groups. This is justified that chronic illnesses do not preclude children from leading happy and satisfying lives.
-
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) without uterine manipulator for patients with early-stage cervical cancer. ⋯ Compared with conventional laparoscopy, hysteroscopy without the use of uterine manipulators can significantly reduce the levels of SCC-Ag, CEA, and CA-125 in patients with early-stage cervical cancer within two years after the surgery, without increasing postoperative complications or affecting survival, and has the same safety.
-
To compare the pregnancy outcome of the fresh cycle or freeze-thaw cycle embryo transfer of patients treated with a long follicular phase regimen and antagonist regimen, and explore the clinical therapeutic effect of the two regimens. ⋯ The antagonist regimen has a low dosage and short medication time and can achieve a high embryo utilization rate and blastula formation rate, saving time and cost for patients.
-
To explore the effect of multimodal analgesia based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG) for gastric cancer (GC). ⋯ Patients undergoing LRG for GC can benefit from a multimodal pain management plan based on ERAS to reduce postoperative pain, alleviate inflammation, stress responses, and shorten the postoperative recovery process.
