A Nomogram to Better Predict the In-Hospital Mortality of Trauma Patients with Sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit.
Trauma has a high incidence and mortality worldwide, and sepsis is one of the main causes of mortality in trauma patients. Therefore, it is essential to identify the risk factors of in-hospital mortality for trauma patients with sepsis. ⋯ The new nomogram has a well predicted value for in-hospital mortality for patients with trauma and sepsis in intensive care units.

Changing Effects of Minimally Invasive Surgical Intervention on ALT, AST, and UA in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome.
This study aims at exploring the effect of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on the liver and kidney function indexes of patients and analyze the changes in these indexes after minimally invasive surgery. ⋯ There are some abnormalities in liver- and kidney-function-related indexes in patients with OSAHS, and minimally invasive surgery can help to improve liver and kidney function in these patients.

Observational StudyEpidemiological Trends and Attributable Risk Burden of Cervical Cancer: An Observational Study from 1990 to 2019.
Cervical cancer, especially in underdeveloped areas, poses a great threat to human health. In view of this, we stratified the age and social demographic index (SDI) based on the epidemiological development trend and attributable risk of cervical cancer in countries and regions around the world. ⋯ In the past three decades, the increase in the global burden of cervical cancer is mainly concentrated in underdeveloped regions (concentrated in low SDI). On the contrary, in countries with high sustainable development index, the burden of cervical cancer tends to be reduced. Alarmingly, ASIR in areas with low SDI is on the rise, which suggests that policy makers should pay attention to the allocation of public health resources and focus on the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer in underdeveloped areas, so as to reduce its incidence rate, mortality, and prognosis.
