CT与MRI对脑梗死后出血性转变的诊断价值

目的探讨CT与MRI在脑梗死后出血性转变(HT)中的诊断价值。方法对2011-01—2014-04我院收治的45例HT患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析,对CT与MRI的检查结果进行对比。结果45例患者中,脑内血肿34例(75.6%),脑梗死病灶内片状、斑点状或条状出血11例(24.4%)。其中大面积脑梗死继发出血24例(53.3%),中等面积继发出血15例(33.3%),小面积脑梗死继发出血6例(13.3%);CT检出HT 10例(22.2%),MRI检出45例(100%),差异有统计学意义(P0.05);在对不同部位的HT检查中,CT检出幕上出血9例(20.0%),幕下出血1例(2.2%);MRI检出幕上出血39例(86.7%),幕下出血6例(13.3%)。MRI对幕上及幕下出血的检出率均优于CT(P0.05)。结论在HT的诊断中,MRI比CT更加准确和敏感,在判断出血时间、指导临床治疗以及预后判断中具有重要意义。     

Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic oral health transformation project

The Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic (YVFWC) is one of the largest community health centers in the country with clinics throughout south-central Washington and northern Oregon. Its dental program consists of 14 dental clinics providing general and specialty services to the low-income populations it serves. Modeling itself after the YVFWC medical managed care program; the Dental program recently added value-based metrics to its dental practice after Oregon offered a value-based dental reimbursement plan in 2019. This is the first-step YVFWC's dental program that has taken to prepare for value-based reimbursement and transform its dental practice in order to reduce the disease burden in its patient population. The purpose of this article is to describe the processes YVFWC undertook to prepare itself for the new reimbursement model, which included the development of metrics, a metric validation process, a clinical dashboard, and a method for improving metrics. It also outlines its medical/dental integration improvement brought about by embedding hygienists into the medical primary care teams.     

甲状腺手术患者围术期优质护理干预效果探讨

目的观察分析在甲状腺手术患者护理中予以围术期优质护理干预的应用价值。方法此研究从本院甲状腺手术患者中选取样本,总例数为80例,研究时间始于2017年4月,止于2019年4月,依据护理方案的异同对患者进行分组,试验组予以围术期优质护理干预,对照组予以常规性护理干预,对比两组护理结果。结果研究可得,试验组护理满意率相对较高,组间数据对比得知与对照组相比统计值合理(P<0.05)。研究可得,试验组并发症发生率相对较低,组建数据对比得知与对照组相比统计值合理(P<0.05);研究可得,试验组预后生活质量相对较高,组建数据对比得知与对照组相比统计值合理(P<0.05)。结论此研究得知,在甲状腺手术患者护理中予以围术期优质护理干预,能提高患者护理效果,降低其并发症发生情况,并进一步改善患者预后效果。     

中期18F-FDG PET-CT两种图像判读法在弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤预后评估中的应用

目的:探讨中期正电子发射型计算机断层显像(positron emission tomography-computed tomography,PET-CT)Deauville五分法(Deauville five-point scale,5-PS)与最大标准摄取值缩减率(maximum standard uptake value variation,△SUVmax)两种图像判读法在弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,DLBCL)患者预后评估中的应用价值。方法:回顾性分析2012年10月至2018年6月重庆医科大学附属第一医院收治的94例DLBCL患者资料。采用Kaplan-Meier法及Cox比例风险回归模型进行生存资料分析,计算并采用χ2检验比较5-PS和△SUVmax对DLBCL患者预后预测的能力。结果:5-PS和△SUVmax分别以4分、86%进行分组。5-PS<4分组、△SUVmax≥86%组的患者无进展生存期(progression free survival,PFS)和总生存期(overall survival,OS)均优于5-PS≥4分组、△SUVmax<86%组的患者(P<0.05)。△SUVmax与5-PS对患者PFS和OS均有影响,较高的阴性预测值(89.4%,93.6%;76.1%,85.9%),较低的阳性预测值(48.9%,31.9%;47.8%,34.8%),并且△SUVmax对于患者的敏感性优于5-PS(82.1%,83.3%vs.39.3%,44.4%)。单因素分析中国际预后指数(international prognostic index,IPI)(P=0.007)、△SUVmax(P<0.001)、5-PS(P=0.014)及基线全身肿瘤代谢体积(total metabolic tumor volume,TMTV)(P=0.001)与PFS相关,△SUVmax(P=0.014)、5-PS(P=0.033)、TMTV(P=0.004)与OS相关;多因素分析显示TMTV是OS的独立预测因子(P=0.005),△SUVmax和TMTV是PFS的独立预测因子(P=0.002,P=0.020),并且△SUVmax<86%且高水平TMTV患者较低TMTV患者的PFS明显缩短(P=0.001)。结论:5-PS和△SUVmax均能初步评估DLBCL患者预后,但△SUVmax具有更高的预测价值,并且联合基线TMTV可以对DLBCL患者进行再次危险度分层。     

Interventions to respond to COVID 19 pandemic in Mumbai and way forward

With the emergence of COVID 19 pandemic, the approach used by Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) was based on all guidelines of COVID 19 prepared by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW). However, Mumbai undertook a special innovate model used in the mission Mumbai – Dharavi for COVID 19. Additionally, MCGM undertook a proactive approach of “chasing the virus” with its 4Ts: 1. Tracing 2. Tracking 3. Testing 4. Treating in high-risk slum clusters and it reflects the result of declining the incidence and case fatality due to COVID 19. Establishing public health surge capacities which include active surveillance, contact-tracing and follow-up besides early detection, isolation and management of cases are important steps for fighting the COVID 19 pandemic. Collaborating with all partners and setting up a Task force for establishing clinical management protocols was unmissable.     

糖化血红蛋白在糖尿病(DM)诊断中的应用价值

目的探究糖化血红蛋白在糖尿病(DM)诊断中的应用价值。方法选取该院收治的36例糖尿病(DM)患者作为观察组,时间区间为2019年10月—2020年10月,实施糖化血红蛋白展开筛查和诊断,同时选择36名无糖尿病的健康者为对照组,分析并发症发生率、血糖指标、生活质量、心理状态评分等情况。结果观察组的空腹血糖、糖化血红蛋白和餐后2 h血糖的指标均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组经糖化血红蛋白展开筛查和诊断后,发现其各项生活质量评分均高于筛查诊断前,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论针对糖尿病(DM)患者,采用糖化血红蛋白展开筛查和诊断,可有效反映患者血糖改变情况,进一步提升临床上患者疾病诊断准确性,改善其不良负性心理情绪,提供可靠的参考资料,同时显著改善患者的生活质量,安全有效,具有临床应用价值。
