This study aims to explore the health effects of group games for patients with chronic mental illness. The goal of this clinical intervention study is to compare the efficacy of group games in two ways (experimental group/ group game-based or control group) to improve the health of patients with chronic mental illness. The main questions it aims to answer are: The efficacy of applying group game-based activities to increase interest and improve the physical fitness of patients with chronic mental illness. Also, the goal of this clinical interventional study is to clarify the positive benefits of psychological and social aspects. Subjects will be asked to complete the questionnaire and physical ability examination after filling out the consent of this study. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Participants in the experimental group will accept the group game-based activities for 12 weeks (twice per week, 22 times). In contrast, Participants in the control group will accept the activities the psychiatric day wards and halfway house offer as usual. After 12 weeks of intervention, The Participants in both groups will be asked to fill out the questionnaire and physical ability examination. One month later, Participants in both groups will be asked to fill out the questionnaire and physical ability examination again. The study will last for 4 months. The time points for completing the questionnaire are listed following: Baseline/ pre-intervention test(T1), First post-intervention test (T2, 12 weeks later) and Second post-intervention test (T3, 4 weeks later). The researchers will compare the difference in effectiveness between the two groups.
The purpose of this clinical trial was to find out whether Tok Sen massage (a massage method with wooden instruments from northern Thailand) is more effective than pressure massage in relieving pain and improving quality of life in participants with chronic low back pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can Tok Sen Massage Relieve Chronic Lower Back Pain? Can Tok Sen massage improve the quality of life of patients with chronic low back pain? Researchers compared Tok Sen massage with pressure massage, which works on low back pain, to see if it could treat chronic low back pain. Participants will: Receive Tok Sen massage or pressure massage every week for 1 month. Questionnaires and flexion measurements before and after each massage. After the massage session, fill out the online questionnaire once a month for three months.

The outcomes are Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test and 400-meter sprint test was performed.
"Triage" is the first process of emergency treatment. It is mainly based on the severity of the disease and the appropriate allocation of limited people, time, place, and medical resources. It is very important and related to the quality of medical care. In order to accurately judge the severity of patients, reduce the individual errors of artificial memory and increase the consistency of the judgment of triage levels, the new emergency five-level triage classification standard (Taiwan Triage and Acuity Scale) was implemented in 2010. , TTAS), the purpose is to allocate medical resources in the most appropriate manner at the appropriate time. It has been revised many times so far, so correct injury classification can maximize the safety of people's lives. This article reviews the relevant literature and finds that to have an efficient injury classification so that each patient receives appropriate medical allocation, an organized, effective and systematic injury inspection process structure is needed to enable the injury nurse to perform correct inspections. Injury skills and cognition should be actively promoted, and this policy must require traumatization nurses to continuously update their traumatization cognition and skills, and must also continue to conduct regular assessments and reviews to continuously improve the quality of traumatization grading by traumatization nurses. It can be seen that triage nurses must have skills, knowledge, attitudes and systems to improve the accuracy of triage levels and ensure the treatment of patients who need priority treatment . Therefore, this study can be used to understand the learning effectiveness of trauma care before and after diversified teaching, which can be used as a basis for teaching new trauma care nurses.
This study adopted an experimental research design to explore the effects of a warm water foot bath program on fatigue, sleep, and heart rate variability in patients with heart failure. The subjects of the study were heart failure patients in the cardiology outpatient department. The patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The control group received routine care and wore an actigraph. The experimental group received 4 additional care in addition to routine care and wearing an actigraph. Weekly warm water foot bath, data collection includes subjective sleep quality and fatigue level, physiological measurements: sleep quality-sleep time and efficiency, and heart rate variability index.
Introduction: WHO defines youth as 15-24 years age group. At this stage, the brain is still under development, with high impulsiveness, being fond of stimulation and yearning for peer life. Compared with traditional interpersonal interaction, modern youths use the Internet as a main interpersonal interaction platform and conduct lots of leisure activities on the Internet. Poor cognitive emotion regulation strategies and personal traits may extend to new types of mental health issues; and are associated with depression, anxiety, suicidal/self-injurious behaviors, and cyberbullying. Objectives: (1) To investigate whether emotion regulation strategies while facing stressful events are highly related to with cyberbullying, social media, and internet gaming disorder. (2) To investigate the relation between cyberbullying and depression, anxiety, suicide/self-injury among Taiwanese youths. (3) To investigate the probability of cyberbullying, social media addiction, and internet gaming disorder occurring at the same time. Method: This cross-sectional study recruits cases of youths from 15 to 24 years old and collects data through questionnaires survey. In addition to collection of basic data, Internet using habits, and medical history, self-rated questionnaires include Suicide/Self-Injury Ideation Questionnaire, The Beck Depression Inventory 2nd Edition, Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children-Taiwan version, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Cyberbullying Questionnaire, and Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form.
This is a non-interventional study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Saxenda® in obese adults and adolescents in Taiwan. The participants will recieve Saxenda® treatment which is a medicine that doctors can already prescribe. The study will last for about 26 weeks.
Research Objectives To use AI computer-aided detection software to assist physicians in reading CT scans of lung nodules, providing auxiliary diagnostic tools for medical decision-making. The software can mark nodule locations and related information during routine physician reading. This study will obtain prospective consent to use patient CT images for software reading and compare with clinical physician diagnosis, in order to enhance software training and improve recognition of lung lesions for early diagnosis and treatment. Study Design Collect CT images of untreated lung nodules 4-30mm in size that are scheduled for surgery. No limits on age, gender, disease type, with image resolution <2.5mm. AI and clinicians will judge nodule characteristics separately. Surgical resection followed by comparison with pathology reports will evaluate diagnostic accuracy. Study Procedures A double-blinded method will be used. AI and physicians will record nodules as likely benign or malignant separately. After surgical resection, the lesions will undergo pathological staging and the diagnostic accuracy of both groups will be compared. Expected Results Compare the diagnostic accuracy of AI and clinicians to improve AI training quality, achieve early diagnosis and treatment goals, and provide patients with better medical care quality. Monitoring Method AI and clinicians will read separately, adhering to shared decision making without affecting patient access to diagnosis and treatment. Keywords: lung nodules, early lung cancer, artificial intelligence, chest CT, minimally invasive surgery, lung image analysis software
