Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy with music therapy in reducing physics test anxiety among students as measured by generalized test anxiety scale.
The study determined the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with music in reducing physics test anxiety among secondary school students as measured by generalized test anxiety scale. ⋯ We concluded that CBT-music program has a significant benefit in improving the management of physics test anxiety among secondary school students.

Observational Study
Cerebral oxygen desaturation in patients with totally thoracoscopic ablation for atrial fibrillation: A prospective observational study.
Epicardial radiofrequency ablation for stand-alone atrial fibrillation under total video-assisted thoracoscopy has gained popularity in recent years. However, severe cardiopulmonary disturbances during the surgery may affect cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. We therefore hypothesized that regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) would decrease significantly during the surgery. In addition, the influencing factors of rSO2 would be investigated. ⋯ Totally thoracoscopic ablation for atrial fibrillation caused a significant decrease in rSO2. There were positive correlations between rSO2 and PaO2, MAP, and BE.

Clinical Trial Observational Study
A prospective observational study to investigate the correlation analysis between neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and deafness gene: Study protocol clinical trial (SPIRIT compliant).
There are many studies on the relationship between serum levels of hyperbilirubinemia and hearing impairment. However, the mechanism of hyperbilirubinemia on auditory impairment is not clear. ⋯ In this study, we will combine gene sequencing with clinical indications of hyperbilirubinemia to find the loci suitable for high-frequency pathogenic deafness related to hyperbilirubinemia, so as to provide early guidance for deafness gene screening in children with hyperbilirubinemia.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a clinically common and recurrent disease. However, many trials have shown that auriculotherapy (AT) can effectively treat CLBP. There are currently no systematic reviews of this therapy. The plan aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this treatment in patients with CLBP. ⋯ CRD42020151584.

Case Reports Comparative Study
Role of diffusion tensor imaging in analyzing the neural connectivity of the parieto-insular vestibular cortex in pusher syndrome: As case report.
Pusher syndrome is a disorder of postural control. It is associated with unilateral lesions on central vestibular system. In the current study, we attempted to identify and investigate neural connectivity of the parieto-insular vestibular cortex in a patient with pusher syndrome, using diffusion tensor imaging. ⋯ Restoration of an injured projection pathway between the vestibular nuclei and parieto-insular vestibular cortex with recovery of pusher syndrome was found in a patient with stroke.
