: Hope is of great importance for patients diagnosed with cancer, especially those that are terminally ill. The diagnosis often puts an end to the realization of personal, social, and professional goals. The aim of this study was to characterize the hope of hospitalized patients diagnosed with cancer in the terminal phase of the disease. The research tool used in the study was Block’s hope test (NCN-36; NCN- Nadzieja Chorych Nowotworowych - Hope of Cancer Patients), designed for patients with life-threatening diseases. The results showed that the patients were characterized by a moderate level of global hope. The highest levels of hope were noted in the spiritual-religious area and the lowest levels of hope concerned curing the disease. Patients exhibited varied levels of hope and varied internal structures of hope. They presented four different types of hope: optimistic, moderate, religious, and weak. Optimistic hope was found most frequently in patients diagnosed with a terminal phase of cancer, while weak hope was represented by the smallest group of these patients.

Symptoms of depression as a clinical entity have been the object of factor analyses by Hamilton (1960) and by Overall (1962). In each of these studies data consisted of observations of male in-patients whose hospital diagnosis was depression. Subjects were rated on the basis of interview behaviour in sets of items considered relevant to clinical concepts of the disorder. Dimensions obtained in Overall's analysis agreed very closely with factors which had previously been identified in psychiatric ratings of schizophrenic patients (Lorr, 1953; Lorr, McNair, Klett, and Lasky, 1962; Overall and Gorham, 1962). This finding was interpreted as evidence that “certain basic factor dimensions appear in various different types of patients” (Overall, 1962). Hamilton felt that a single word-label might describe qualitatively different behaviours, depending on diagnosis; he therefore insisted on the importance of context (nosological category) in assessing the significance of any given symptom.

During this 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia epidemic, some experts have expressed concern for the mental healthcare of different types of population groups. However, hospitalised patients with severe mental illness are seemingly overlooked. Psychiatric patients are still a vulnerable group who need to obtain more attention and respect, particularly during the COVID-19 outbreak in China. In this commentary, we briefly introduce the situation of hospitalized patients with severe mental illness and suggest some effective measures that should be rapidly undertaken to reverse current challenges.

Epidemiological Characteristics

Abstract Background: Severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) threaten human health and cause a large number of hospitalized patients every year. However, as one of the most common pathogen that cause acute respiratory tract infection, the molecular epidemiological information relating to hMPV among patients with SARI is limited. Here, we evaluate the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of hMPV infections among children hospitalized patients with SARI from January 2016 to December 2020 in Huzhou, China.Methods: From January 2016 to December 2020, a total of 1133 nasopharyngeal swabs collected from children inpatients with SARI were screened for hMPV by real-time PCR. All samples that tested positive for hMPV were further typed by sequencing partial sequences of hexon gene. Genotypes of hMPV were confirmed by phylogenetic analysis. Epidemiological data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010 and service solutions (SPSS) 21.0 software.Results: 56 (4.94%) samples were positive for hMPV, children under 5 years old accounted for 85.71% (48/56) of the infections. Higher activity of hMPV infection could be seen in the period in Spring and Winter. 3 different types of hMPV were identified in hospitalized SARI cases, with hMPV-B1 (42.86 %) was the most prevalent types, followed by HAdV-B2 (35.71 %) and hMPV-A1(21.42 %). The predominant genotypes of hMPV during our study period varied according to surveillance year. Overall, 1 type (hMPV-B1) were detected in 2016, 2 different types(hMPV-B1 and HAdV-A1) were detected in 2017, 3 different types(hMPV-B1, hMPV-B2 and hMPV-A1) were detected in 2018, 2 different types(hMPV-B1 and hMPV-B2) were detected in 2019, 1 type (hMPV-B2) were detected in 2020.Conclusions: This study revealed the prevalence and the molecular epidemiological characteristics of hMPV infections among children hospitalized patients with SARI in Huzhou from January 2016 to December 2020. The hMPV prevalence is related to age and season. As the most prevalent hMPV types, hMPV-B1 was co-circulating with other types and presented an alternate prevalence pattern.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the incidence, microbiological features and management of surgical site infections (SSIs). Methodology: All patients in the surgical ward were followed from admissions until discharge during the study period. Only hospitalized patients with certain SSIs within 30 days of surgeries were included in the study. Results: A total of 457 patients were followed during the study period. Interestingly, only 9 (1.9 %) of the patients developed SSIs. Most of the patients were males 6 (66.7%) and Saudi nationals 7 (77.8 %). The most common surgical procedures were laparoscopic and orthopedic surgeries with a similar rate of 3 (3.3 %). Conclusion: This study revealed that the incidence of SSIs was quite lower at the hospital where the study was conducted and different types of antibiotics were used and recommended for prophylaxis.

Objective. To study medical awareness of cardiovascular risk factors (RFs) in different types of hospitalized patients (pts). Methods. A total of 150 pts from neurological, endocrinological and cardiac units one of Moscow city hospital were enrolled into the survey (50 pts in each unit). The pts were interviewed during the I-II days of the hospitalization. A special questionnaire was developed in‑ cluding socio-demographic and clinical indicators, open questions on the awareness of traditional cardiovascular RFs and their target values. Results. Pts of three units did not differ in gender and age. The range of diagnoses corresponded to the profile of the unit. The survey revealed an extremely low awareness of major cardiovascular RFs of pts in all 3 units: almost none of them pointed to elevated cholesterol (0%, 4% and 0%, respectively) and blood pressure (2%, 2% and 0%) respectively) as RF of cardiovascular diseases. The pts of the three units most often referred to stress (64%, 56% and 66%, respectively) and unhealthy diet (50%, 56% and 64%, respectively) as the main cardiovascular RFs. On average, pts in three units correctly indicated only 2 RFs. Conclusion. The survey revealed a low awareness of cardiovascular RFs in different types of medical pts, including cardiac pts, at time of hospital admission.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.
