Case Reports
Macular hole with inner limiting membrane peeling off spontaneously in Terson syndrome: A case report.
Terson's syndrome with inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeled off spontaneously is rarely seen, and the mechanism of it is not clear. Here we report a case of Terson Syndrome with a rare finding: the ILM peeled off spontaneously associated with macular hole (MH). ⋯ ILM peeled off spontaneously associated with MH is a rarely seen complication of Terson Syndrome. Due to the large-scale of the ILM peeling off, final visual acuity may be poor in patients, even though successful macular hole closure after the operation.

Yoga complemented cognitive behavioral therapy on job burnout among teachers of children with autism spectrum disorders.
Job burnout is a syndrome of reaction to chronic job-related stress which affects overall health, limits occupational efficacy, and personal accomplishments of employees thereby thwarting organizational outcomes. Burnout symptoms are common among teachers of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and affect the academic progress of the children. This study investigated the effectiveness of Yoga-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Y-CBT) in reducing occupational burnout among teachers of children with autism in Lagos States, Nigeria. ⋯ It was concluded that Y-CBT modalities could help to reduce the burnout symptoms among teachers of children with ASD.

This study aims to describe the occurrence, severity degree, and correlated risk factors of dental fluorosis among the 12-year-old schoolchildren of Jilin, China. We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive study among 960 12-year-old schoolchildren in Jilin. The Dean index was utilized to evaluate the severity degree of dental fluorosis. ⋯ The results of logistic regression showed that schoolchildren who brushed teeth more frequently (OR: 2.012, 95% CI 1.767-2.342), deficiency of parental supervision (OR: 4.219, 95% CI 3.887-4.573), and lived in rural areas (OR: 2.776, 95% CI 2.163-3.489) were more correlated with enamel fluorosis. Moreover, schoolchildren whose mothers or fathers were of high education level (OR: 0.336, 95% CI 0.217-0.413 and 0.346, 95% CI 0.113-0.512) and only child (OR: 0.378, 95% CI 0.213-0.415) were protective factors for dental fluorosis. In the Jilin province of China, the risk indicators for dental fluorosis include rural areas, more frequency of brushing, low educational background of parents, and deficiency of parental supervision.

Meta Analysis
Prognostic value of serum bilirubin in patients with heart failure: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Heart failure (HF) is one of the common and critical disease, and often accompanied by increased level of serum bilirubin, but the role of an indicator of bilirubin to monitor the prognosis of patients with heart failure is still unclear, so we implemented the study to systematically evaluate the predictive value of bilirubin in HF. ⋯ INPLASY202140116.

Meta Analysis
Effectiveness and safety of Liuhedan for treating cellulitis: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Liuhedan is a famous traditional Chinese Medicine formula used to treat cellulitis in China. However, there are no systematic reviews for the evidence and the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of Liuhedan for treating cellulitis. The aim of this study is to summarize previous evidence, assessing the efficacy and safety of Liuhedan treating cellulitis. ⋯ Ethical approval is unnecessary as this protocol is only for systematic review and does not involve privacy data. The findings of this study will be disseminated electronically through a peer-review publication or presented at a relevant conference.
