Influência da percepção de risco sobre a COVID-19 no sofrimento psicológico dos profissionais de saúde / Influence of risk perception of COVID-19 on psychological distress of health professionals / Influencia de la percepción de riesgo del COVID-19 en el sufrimiento psicológico de los profesionales de la salud

A saúde mental dos profissionais de saúde da linha de frente durante a pandemia da doença coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) está relacionada a uma percepção qualitativa de risco sobre a doença, segundo a Teoria do Traço Difuso. Uma pesquisa de levantamento foi realizada com 134 profissionais de saúde da linha de frente em um município da região metropolitana do Rio Grande do Sul. Os participantes responderam a um questionário on-line sobre percepção de risco e a Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measure. Análises de regressão linear corroboraram a literatura, indicando que a percepção qualitativa do risco estava relacionada a menor sofrimento psicológico e uma avaliação quantitativa, a maior sofrimento. Os resultados demonstraram a importância da Teoria do Traço Difuso para compreensão dos riscos associados ao sofrimento mental (potencialmente clínico) de profissionais de saúde durante a pandemia

Mental health of frontline health professionals during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is related to a qualitative perception of risk about the disease, according to Fuzzy Trace Theory. A survey was carried out with 134 frontline health professionals in a city within the metropolitan area of Rio Grande do Sul. Participants answered an online questionnaire on risk perception and the Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measure. Linear regression analysis corroborated the literature, indicating that a qualitative perception of risk was related to less psychological distress and, a quantitative assessment, to greater suffering. Results showed the importance of Fuzzy-Trace Theory for understanding the risks associated with (potentially clinical) psychological distress of health professionals during the pandemic

Risk assessment for coronary heart disease in urban residents of Handan City in 2017-2018 / 公共卫生与预防医学

Objectiv e To investigate the risk of coronary heart disease in urban residents of Handan City from 2017 to 2018, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease. Methods A total of 1 546 residents in an urban area of Handan were selected as the research subjects. According to coronary artery stenosis, they were divided into the coronary heart disease group and the non-coronary heart disease group. The physical indexes and laboratory test results of the two groups were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors of coronary heart disease. Results The correlation analysis of the results reveled that the increase of LDL-C level, smoking history, diabetes, hypertension and body mass index were significantly correlated with the incidence of coronary heart disease (P<0.05), which were the risk factors for the onset of coronary heart disease. Conclusion The incidence of coronary heart disease in urban residents of Handan from 2017 to 2018 was related to a variety of factors, among which the increase of LDL-C level, smoking history, diabetes, hypertension and body mass index were high risk factors for coronary heart disease. Quitting smoking, reducing the intake of high salt and sugar, and controlling the LDL-C level and body weight are important to reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease.

Severe alcoholic hepatitis and acute-on-chronic liver failure / 临床肝胆病杂志

Rapid progression or aggravation of jaundice, coagulation abnormalities and liver-related complications in patients with alcoholic hepatitis indicates that they may develop severe alcoholic hepatitis. Some of these patients can progress acute-on-chronic liver failure with acute insults, such as infection and binge drinking and binge, showing as acute decompensation, organ failure and high 28-day mortality rate. Early identification and effective intervention can improve the prognosis of acute-on-chronic liver failure. Intestinal barrier dysfunction and liver-gut axis imbalance play an important role in the development of severe alcoholic hepatitis and acute-on-chronic liver failure. It is important to improve the basic nutritional status of patients. Effective drug therapies are limited in improving the condition and prognosis of acute-on-chronic liver failure. Early liver transplantation can bring great benefits to these patients.
