Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of group hope therapy on self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
This study aims to determine the effect of group hope therapy on the self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes. ⋯ The results of the study suggested that group hope therapy had a significant impact on self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes but had no effect on academic self-efficacy and self-efficacy in blood glucose management.

Contribution of aspiration to the diagnosis of lung cancer in endobronchial ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy.
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration has been successfully applied in both diagnosis and staging of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathies and masses, especially in malignant cases. However, the optimal procedure of Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration to further increase diagnostic yield and minimize processing complexity remains controversial. This study aims to compare aspiration biopsy (Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration) and non-aspiration biopsy (Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle capillary sampling) in terms of sample adequacy, diagnosis, and quality in malignant cases. ⋯ Although the agreement between the two procedures is weak, Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle capillary sampling can be performed with less personnel, without reducing diagnostic yield and tissue adequacy. These findings can assist clinicians in determining the optimal procedure for Endobronchial ultrasound-guided.

Long-term follow-up results of unfractionated heparin infusion treatment for submassive pulmonary thromboembolism.
Treatment options for submassive pulmonary thromboembolism cases vary depending on the patient's hemodynamic stability, comorbidities, and bleeding risk. The long-term effect of unfractionated heparin treatment on pulmonary hypertension and mortality is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of unfractionated heparin treatment on pulmonary thromboembolism. ⋯ Our study suggests that unfractionated heparin is safe in the treatment of submassive pulmonary thromboembolism in terms of bleeding risk and reduces pulmonary artery pressure.
