The aim of this study was to identify some risk factors of failure of surgical management of common bile duct stones, in our center between 2007 and 2019.
This study investigated quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) subtypes as auxiliary tools to assess Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Patient assessed using the Korean version of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV and were assigned to one of three groups: ADHD, ADHD-Not Otherwise specified (NOS), and Neurotypical (NT). The investigators measure absolute and relative EEG power in 19 channels and conducted an auditory continuous performance test. The investigators analyzed QEEG according to the frequency range: delta (1-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), slow alpha (8-10 Hz), fast alpha (10-13.5 Hz), and beta (13.5-30 Hz). The subjects were then grouped by Ward's method of cluster analysis using the squared Euclidian distance to measure dissimilarities.
The Dip Home-Based Dipstick Analyzer (henceforth HBDA) is composed of a kit and a smartphone application. The device will be provided to the subject in a simulated home-use environment. All subjects will be asked to complete the urine test by following the application guidance, including providing a urine sample and scanning the urine strip after placing it on the Color-Board. The user will also complete a questionnaire to collect information regarding the use of the HBDA device. Following the usability test performed by the lay user, the subject's urine sample will be tested by the professional user using the comparator device. The use of the HBDA device will be evaluated for accuracy and identified risks. Additionally, measurable usability criteria for specific, critical steps will be evaluated.
Nausea and vomiting after surgery are one of the complications that occur after general anesthesia, and the frequency is reported to range from 10% to 80% in the high-risk group. Several studies have introduced drugs and methods to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. Among them, midazolam administered before surgery is known to have anti-anxiolytic and sedative effects on the prevention of nausea and vomiting after surgery. It has also been reported to increase its effectiveness when administered with other antiemetic agents. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of administration of combination with midazolam and different antiemetic agents on the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in high-risk patients.
This retrospective study includes 74 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture from March 2012 to September 2018, aiming to compare the mid-term curative effect of primary repair and gastrocnemius turn-down flaps and guide clinical decision.

The COPACABANA study is designed as a single-centre, open, prospective trial aimed to assess the influence of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) on downstream myocardial ischemia via the novel computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging technique. To this end, consecutive patients with CTO of a major coronary artery scheduled to undergo percutaneous recanalization of occluded coronary artery based on clinical grounds, will undergo stress CTP using state-of-the-art dual-energy CT scanner at 2 time points (before and 3 months after successful restoration of flow in the CTO vessel).
This trial studies the side effects of radiation therapy used alone, and if it can achieve a high cure rate in the treatment of patients with MALT lymphoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This treatment may improve the patient's lymphoma.
A cluster randomized controlled study was carried out in chronic psychiatric wards of a general hospital in central Taiwan. Sixty-eight eligible male individuals admitted to 2 wards were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. Participants in the experimental group underwent an oral health promotion program that consisted of biweekly group education sessions, and a 12-week individual behavioral modification for oral hygiene course. The participants in the control group received usual care only. Dental plaque (measured by the Plaque Control Index) was examined by a single dentist before and after the experiment.
