ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence of middle ear barotrauma due to hybaric oxygen therapy by using Health Education Atlas.Methods 100 patients were divided into two groups by random number table. The research group(49 patients)was educated by Health Education Atlas.The control group(51 patients)was educated by traditional education approach.During the first three days,we observed and recorded the eardrum injury and asked patients ear discomfort everyday.Results The incidence rate of middle ear barotrauma of the research group was 6.1%,which of the control group was 19.6%.The eardrum injury of the research group was milder than the control group(χ2 =4.02,P <0.05).Conclusion Education using Health Education Atlascan reduce the incidence of middle ear barotrauma due to hybaric oxygen therapy.
ABSTRACT
The growth of brain metastasis needs appropriate microenvironment, and the change of normal brain microenvironment is the basis for exploring metastasis with MRI. Through the local magnetic field changes and the application of contrast agents for improving the discrepancy of the cerebral tissue, MR can accurately detect brain metastasis in position, number, size, and shape. MR with contrast-enhanced technique is the first choice for screening brain metastasis. The application of all kinds of new MR techniques, sequences and intracellular contrast agents can not only further improve the specificity of detection, but also improve the sensitivity of MRI, which is favorable to formulating reasonable treatment and prolonging the lifetime of the patients. The microenvironment of brain metastasis and advances in the new MR techniques were reviewed in this article.
