键对键与面对面联动在改善心外科患者不良情绪和睡眠质量的应用评价

目的:探讨分析键对键与面对面联动在改善心外科患者不良情绪和睡眠质量中的应用效果.方法:选取2018年5月至2019年5 月湖南师范大学附属第一医院收治的心脏外科手术患者100例作为研究对象,按照患者病房号分为对照组和观察组,每组50例.对照组采用常规护理,观察组在此基础上实施键对键与面对面联动的护理模式.结果:出院3个月后,与对照组患者比较,观察组患者情绪、机体不适感、睡眠质量显著改善,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论:键对键与面对面联动的护理模式可显著改善心外科患者的不良情绪,提高睡眠质量,值得临床推广.     

Myocardial infarction classification and its implications on measures of cardiovascular outcomes,quality, and racial/ethnic disparities

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States, with approximately 805 000 cumulative deaths from myocardial infarctions (MI) from 2005 to 2014. Gender and racial/ethnic disparities in MI diagnoses are becoming more evident in quality review audits. Although recent changes in diagnostic codes provided an improved framework, clinically distinguishing types of MI remains a challenge. MI misdiagnoses and health disparities contribute to adverse outcomes in cardiac medicine. We conducted a literature review of relevant biomedical sources related to the classification of MI and disparities in cardiovascular care and outcomes. From the studies analyzed, African Americans and women have higher rates of mortality from MI, are more probably to be younger and present with other comorbidities and are less probably to receive novel therapies with respect to type of MI. As high-sensitivity troponin assays are adopted in the United States, implementation should account for how race and sex differences have been demonstrated in the reference range and diagnostic threshold of the newer assays. More research is needed to assess how the complexity of health disparities contributes to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Creating dedicated medical quality teams (physicians, nurses, clinical documentation improvement specialists, and medical coders) and incorporating a plan-do-check-adjust quality improvement model are strategies that could potentially help better define and diagnose MI, reduce financial burdens due to MI misdiagnoses, reduce cardiovascular-related health disparities, and ultimately improve and save lives.     

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation improves sleep in Parkinson's disease patients: a retrospective study and a meta-analysis

BackgroundMost Parkinson's patients suffered from sleep problems. There is increasing evidence that Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) has a positive effect on several sleep parameters, improving overall sleep quality in patients with PD. However, the results are controversial.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study and meta-analysis to assess the Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS) in Parkinson's patients.ResultsWe reviewed our data of patients who underwent STN-DBS, and then extracted five other trials to perform a meta-analysis. The pooled results showed an advantage on post-operative PDSS in both our medical center and pooled results (MD = 20.41, 95% CI = [13.03, 27.79], I² = 61%, P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)-Ⅲ score between pre and post-operation (MD = −12.59, 95% CI = [−14.70, −10.49], I² = 90%, P < 0.001). What's more, Parkinsonian medication was significantly lower in the post-operative groups after DBS (MD = −314.71, 95% CI = [−468.13, −161.28], I² = 53%, P < 0.001).ConclusionIn the retrospective study and meta-analysis of 6 trials, we found that DBS can significantly increase sleep quality. Furthermore, motor function improved and Parkinsonian medication was significantly decreased postoperatively. The sample size was enough and no further investigations would change the conclusion.     

全科医师人文素质教育现状的探讨及反思

全科医师立足于基层医疗，旨在提高、满足基层居民卫生服务的全面需求。正是由于全科医师的定位及服务人群的特殊性，相对于专科医师来说，人文素质教育在全科医师培养中占据着更为重要的地位。如今，国内外越来越重视全科医师的人文素质培养，但我国相对于发达国家仍有不足。本文进一步强调了全科医师培养中人文素质教育的重要性，同时通过对比国内外全科医师人文素质教育的现状，进一步反思我国人文素质教育的改进方法。
