Correlation between carotid artery ultrasound parameters and lacunar infarction by Peipei Yang, Ying Hui, Shuohua Chen, Xinyu Zhao, Wei Huang, Xiaoshuai Li, Shouling Wu, Yuntao Wu, Ling Yang, Jing Chen, Zhenchang Wang, Xian-Quan Shi

“…Internal diameter of CCA and ICA, plaque in CCA and ICA, resistance index (RI) of CCA and ICA, pulsatility indexes (PI) of CCA and ICA, systolic/diastolic(S/D) of CCA and ICA, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) were positively associated with LI; peak systolic velocities (PSV) of CCA, end-diastolic velocities (EDV) of CCA and ICA, average velocity (AVG) of CCA and ICA were negatively associated with LI. Multivariate regression analysis showed that CCA-internal diameter (95%CI, 1.04–1.93; p = 0.025), CCA-plaque (bilateral) (95%CI, 1.06–4.37; p = 0.034), and cf-PWV (95%CI, 1.01–1.15; p = 0.017) were independent factors of presence of LI. …”

Current status of nurses’ public health emergency response capacity for emerging infectious disease: a cross-sectional study by Qin Qiu, Qin Qiu, Yuntong Liu, Fanping Meng, Fanping Meng, Xinhua Wang, Chunxiang Su

“…There was a significant difference in scores for nurses’ public health emergency response capacity for EIDs in terms of clinical role (p = 0.008), hospital classification (p = 0.000), and rescue experience (p = 0.000). Multiple regression analysis revealed that the hospital classification and rescue experience of EIDs were the influential factors of nurses’ emergency response capacity (R2 = 0.044, F = 11.023, p < 0.05), and rescue experience significantly predicted emergency response capacity scores.ConclusionThe findings revealed that the nurses’ public health emergency response capacity for EIDs was at a moderate level and the capacity of the dimensions were unbalanced, necessitating targeted improvement. …”
