A retrospective chart review will be conducted to identify patients receiving breast reconstruction and simultaneous breast neurotization. Their reconstructed breasts will be included as study group. Patients receiving breast reconstruction without neurotization will be included as negative control group. Their contralateral normal breasts in the study and the negative control group will be included as positive control. Patients' demographic data, their breast cancer treatment parameters, such as the staging, previous radiotherapy history, postmastectomy radiotherapy, neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy will be included. The reconstruction results will be evaluated as well. Statistics Data will be analyzed using graphing and statistical analysis software. Independent t test will be applied to calculate continuous variables in demographic values, while Chi-square will be applied to calculate categorical variables such as postoperative complications. A probability of less than 0.05 will be considered significant. Potential risks: No Confidentiality: All the patient identifiable information, which includes name, chart number and birthday, involved in the study will be strictly confidential.
The goal of this clinical trial is to [learn about cognitive stimulation by multidomain dietary education including the dietary board game via LINE in non-dementic type 2 diabetic adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: [Question 1: Could multi-domain dietary education as cognitive stimulation improve cognitive function?] [Question 2: Could multi-domain dietary education improve dietary control belief ?] [Question 3: Could multi-domain dietary education improve health behavior?] [Question 4]: Could multi-domain dietary education improve HbA1C, and lipid profile? Participants of experimental A group will receive a video about lifestyle education 5 minutes weekly for 3 weeks, a dietary board game 10 minutes weekly for 10 weeks, and a 24-hour dietary recall record 2 times weekly for 7 weeks. And participants of the experimental B group receive the usual clinical treatment. Then experimental A and Experimental B groups will cross over 12 weeks later. Researchers will compare the effect of intervention between the experimental A group and the experimental B group.
