Randomized Controlled Trial
Design and application of personalized exercise prescription for primary osteoporosis.
Regular exercise has been shown to have a beneficial effect on primary osteoporosis (POP). However, current exercise prescriptions have limitations such as insufficient individualized features and low participant compliance, which in turn limit their application in clinical practice. In this study, we propose to establish a personalized exercise prescription based on the Chinese traditional exercise-Yi Jin Jing, combined with treadmill exercises and strength training, and then observe its effects on pain, muscle strength, balance, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolic indexes in patients with POP. ⋯ This trial aimed to enrich the content and form of exercise rehabilitation prescriptions for patients with POP, which is conducive to improving the exercise rehabilitation effect and quality of life in this population.

Lung ultrasound score-based assessment of postoperative atelectasis in obese patients according to inspired oxygen concentration: A prospective, randomized-controlled study.
According to a recent meta-analysis, in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30, a high fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) did not increase postoperative atelectasis. However, a high FiO2 generally increases the risk of postoperative atelectasis. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of FiO2 on the development of atelectasis in obese patients using the modified lung ultrasound score (LUSS). ⋯ High FiO2 had a greater effect on the development of atelectasis in obese patients than did low FiO2; however, in normal-weight individuals, FiO2 did not have a significant effect on postoperative atelectasis.

The purpose to the present study is to research the association between age at surgery and survival outcomes of patients with sarcoma in head and neck. Twenty-six patients with head and neck sarcoma who underwent by surgery from 2003 to 2017 were enrolled in the present observation study. Patients who did not undergo chemotherapy were significantly older age at surgery by Mann-Whitney U test. ⋯ Shorter survival rates of overall, disease-specific, local recurrence-free and disease-free were associated with older age by log-rank test. Age (≥55 years/<55 years) was correlated with shorter overall survival by multivariate analysis of Cox's proportional hazards model adjusting with chemotherapy (absence/presence). In conclusion, older age predicts worse overall survival in head and neck sarcoma.

Integrative and complementary health practices (ICHP) question the hegemony of the biomedical, technical and hospital paradigm, as they are an important axis in the process of redefining the health care model. Understanding how ICHP are offered to the elderly population can help to improve the production of changes in care and in the daily life of health services. ⋯ This scoping review will provide evidence to help health professionals, managers and users to recognize more effective therapeutic inventions for promoting, preventing and protecting comprehensive health at different levels of care.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Examining the impact of randomized control intervention on depressive symptoms in schoolchildren with atypical behaviors.
The need to investigate depression among disadvantaged groups motivated this study. This study investigated the impacts of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on depressive symptoms in schoolchildren with atypical behaviors in Enugu State Nigeria. ⋯ Following the outcomes, we concluded that REBT is a long-term efficacious intervention for treating depressive symptoms in schoolchildren with atypical behaviors in Enugu State Nigeria regardless of location and gender.
