To assess health related quality of life (HRQOL) of children who had undergone surgical intervention after lower limb trauma. ⋯ HRQOL of children at discharge after management of lower limb trauma was lower than age-matched control group. It, however, significantly exceeded controls' scores after six months showing complete recovery.
-
To evaluate the various temporary transvenous pacemaker (TPM) access sites, its indications, procedural complications, and outcomes of patients. ⋯ Atrioventricular block is the commonest indication for temporary pacing in our study. The average time the TPM remained in place was significantly higher in the trans jugular approach group along with a higher complication rate in this group.

The requirement to change position whilst under general anaesthesia may expose patients to significant risks. We devised and implemented a concise and comprehensive patient positioning safety tool with the aim of reducing risks and improving patient safety during position changes under anaesthesia.
-
To evaluate the clinical value of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of recurrent cervical cancer. ⋯ Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy is a safe and effective regimen for recurrent cervical cancer, boasting significant clinical efficacy, reduced tumor markers, no significant increase in adverse reactions, and significantly improved three-years and five years survival rate.
-
To investigate the clinical effects of NRLP1 expression in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) combined with arrhythmia. ⋯ The NLRP1 pathway is associated with the presence of arrhythmias after PCI treatments, and the NLRP1 expression level may be useful as a predictor of arrhythmia in patients with STEMI.
