To evaluate risk factors having significant effect on mortality of smear positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) inpatients. ⋯ Increasing age, poverty, smoking history, and presence of comorbidities like DM, CLD, HIV, hypertension, and anemia are associated with higher mortality in smear positive PTB cases.
-
To investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgery on locally advanced breast cancer and its prognosis. ⋯ Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in combination with TAC scheme can reduce the difficulty of operation, improve the curative effect of patients, significantly improve the prognosis of patients and prolong the survival time, which is worth clinical application.
-
To compare the mean change in Corneal Endothelial cell Density (CED), from baseline (pre-operative value), two months after phacoemulsification cataract surgery between type II diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients. ⋯ There is a significant difference between diabetic population and normal population in terms of corneal endothelial loss after uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery.

Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) is one of the common multiple diseases in neurology. Patients with severe HICH have high risk of disability and poor prognosis. ⋯ Mild hypothermia in combination with micro-traumatic evacuation of cerebral hemorrhage has significant clinical effect in the treatment of severe HICH. It can significantly improve neurological function and quality of life, causing few adverse reactions. Its clinical application value is high.
-
To compare and analyze the clinical effects of internal fixation of minimally invasive elastic stable intramedullary nail and plate in the treatment of pediatric femoral shaft fracture. ⋯ Pediatric femoral shaft fractures can be treated with internal fixation of minimally invasive elastic intramedullary nail, and it has advantages of significant curative effect, small trauma and fast postoperative recovery, which is conducive to fracture healing and worth promoting.
