To investigate the clinical effects of MOTOmed intelligent exercise training combined with intensive walking training on the rehabilitation of walking, nerve and lower limb functions among patients with hemiplegia after stroke. ⋯ MOTOmed intelligent exercise training combined with intensive walking training can significantly improve the walking function, nerve function and lower limb function among patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

To assess frailty in cirrhotic by calculating Liver Frailty Index (LFI) using bedside clinical tests and correlate it with Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), MELD, MELD Na, Fib- 4 and Transient Elastography (TE) scores. ⋯ Significant correlation between frailty score in cirrhotic with cirrhosis severity scores highlights the need for frequently assessing LFI in all cirrhotic at regular follow up visits.

All medicine and healthcare undergraduates were encountered with terminations and delays of professional examinations. These alterations were on topmost of other tasks the COVID-19 pandemic carried out for instance not roaming, covered faces with masks and specifically segregation. This interruption of normal life was a major cause of mental health disaster and it is no surprise that medicine and healthcare undergraduate has had high rates of psychological effects including hopelessness, stress and suicidal thoughts. This study aimed to investigate the unmediated connection of anxiety and stress related mental health decline and suicide among medical and nonmedical undergraduates during the pandemic of covid-19. ⋯ This study offered more data that the concerns, anxieties and uncertainties caused by pandemic COVID-19, don't roll out alone but remain as long-lasting problems demanding ongoing attention.

To detect the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and microRNA-210 (miR-210) in the aqueous humor of patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) combined with macular edema, and explore their correlations with CRVO combined with macular edema. ⋯ In patients with CRVO combined with macular edema, HIF-1α mRNA and miR-210 were highly expressed in the aqueous humor, which may play an important role in the occurrence and development of the disease.

Lemierre syndrome (LS) is an oropharyngeal infection, followed by bacteremia, thrombosis of the internal jugular vein and subsequent hematogenic metastasis via septic emboli. We report a case of Lemierre syndrome complicated by descending necrotizing mediastinitis due to a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in a 5-month-old Saudi boy.
