To evaluate the clinical efficacy of early postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with temozolomide chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with malignant glioma. ⋯ Early postoperative IMRT combined with temozolomide chemotherapy is an effective treatment regimen for patients with malignant glioma, boasting a variety of advantages such as high efficiency, cognitive function, favorable recovery of health status, significantly improved progression-free survival rate and overall survival rate, and no significant increase in adverse reactions.
-
To understand the incidence and related risk factors of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) in preterm infants. ⋯ The incidence of EUGR in premature infants at discharge is relatively high. Strengthening perinatal health care for pregnant women, reducing the incidence of intrauterine growth retardation and preterm birth, giving intestinal feeding as soon as possible after birth, and actively participating in preventing and treating postnatal complications are effective ways to reduce the incidence of EUGR at discharge.
-
To determine the effects of donor and red blood cells concentrate characteristics on recipient hemoglobin increment following red blood cells transfusion in pediatric patients. ⋯ Donors' age and Rh blood group and red blood cell concentrates' washing accounts for significant rise in recipient's post-transfusion hemoglobin. These factors may be used to predict changes in recipients' hemoglobin before transfusion.
-
To evaluate the radiographic patterns on Chest X-Ray (CXR) in accordance with Modified Brixia Scoring as supporting imaging tool in triaging of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pneumonia. ⋯ Chest radiograph is used for triaging of suspected COVID pneumonia patients in emergency settings. It assesses the severity of disease according to modified Brixia scoring for treatment plan.
-
To analyze the application efficiency of two tracers for sentinel lymph node mapping in patients with endometrial cancer. ⋯ Nano activated carbon can obtain good detection effect in sentinel lymph node recognition in endometrial cancer patients, with shorter tracing time and higher total duration than methylene blue suspension.
