To determine frequency of burnout in emergency physicians and to identify its impact on their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). ⋯ Physicians working in emergency settings have high frequency of burnout and it adversely affects their mental and physical health related quality of life.
-
To compare and analyze the clinical effects of microscopic surgery and conventional surgery in children with penile hypospadias and the differences in postoperative urodynamic indexes. ⋯ Microscopic surgery is a method with significant clinical value in the treatment of penile hypospadias.
-
To investigate the efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) combined with endovascular treatment (EVT) on vascular recanalization rate and peak systolic velocity (PSV) in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). ⋯ IVT combined with EVT can improve the vascular recanalization rate and PSV in patients with ACI, which is worthy of promotion in clinical practice.
-
To explore the factors affecting the intraoperative conversion of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to thoracotomy in patients with lung cancer. ⋯ Conversion from VATS to thoracotomy may increase the risk of complications in patients with lung cancer. Tumor in the upper lobe, central lung cancer, history of pulmonary tuberculosis, high degree of pleural adhesion and large tumor diameter are risk factors for conversion from VATS to thoracotomy.
-
To investigate the clinical effects of HBV infection on patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). ⋯ Patients in the RA and SLE groups after HBV infection have an increased degree of inflammatory response in their organism, an altered normal state of immunoglobulin and T-lymphocyte subsets, and a loss of organism immune function, leading to an increase in disease activity.
