Medical Big Data

The ultrasonic imaging research of nursing care for preventing and treating clinical infection of hemodialysis patients based on smart medical big data is studied. 100 hemodialysis patients were selected from May 2019 to May 2020. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group and routine group with 50 cases in each group. The PWV of common carotid artery was measured by ultrasonic rapid imaging technology, including BS value at the beginning of systole and ES value at the end of systole. According to the effect of preventive nursing intervention of intelligent medical treatment, the MHD group adopted preventive nursing intervention, while the routine group adopted traditional nursing service. The infection rate and quality of life score of patients in both groups were evaluated. The results showed that there were significant differences in BS and ES values between the MHD group and PWV in the normal group ( P < 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in BS value and ES value between MHD patients with plaque and those without plaque ( P > 0.05 ). It is proved that the ultrafast ultrasound imaging technology is safe, simple, noninvasive, nonradioactive, and fast and can automatically and accurately detect carotid PWV. It is expected to become a new imaging method for quantitative evaluation of arteriosclerosis degree in MHD patients. Preventive nursing intervention can reduce the incidence of infection in hemodialysis patients and improve their quality of life. Smart medical treatment has brought us a lot of convenience. As patients, we should change our concept, actively participate in it, and contribute to the development of smart medical treatment.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting quality of life of hemodialysis patients.Methods: As a descriptive study, the data were collected from 172 hemodialysis patients receiving hemodialysis at 4 medical institutions. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression.Results: The influential variable of the quality of Life of hemodialysis patients were resilience, symptom experience and monthly income less than 2 million won. These factors explained for 48.7% of the quality of Life of hemodialysis patients.Conclusions: The most ideal method to increase the quality of hemodialysis patients’ lives is to develop an integrated nursing intervention that will increase patients’ resilience and reduce the intensity of symptoms.

Intradialytic hypertension can reduce the quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Providing appropriate nursing interventions will reduce morbidity, and improve the quality of intradialytic hypertensive patients. Provision of “SEHAT” nursing intervention package in the form of providing support, education and empowering, holistically with attention to therapeutic sensitivity can be applied to overcome patients problems. The purpose of the study was to analyze the "SEHAT" nursing intervention package to improve the quality of life of intradialytic hypertensive patients. The research method was a randomized controlled trial on 40 samples of hemodialysis patients which were divided into 20 group samples and 20 control group samples. The research instrument uses the Indonesian version of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL-36). The intervention was carried out for 4 weeks using the SEHAT nursing intervention package. The results showed an increase in the quality of life scores of respondents in the intervention group after being given SEHAT nursing intervention (p=0.000). There was a significant difference in the quality of life scores between the intervention group and the control group after being given the intervention (p=0.000). The “SEHAT” nursing intervention package is effective for improving the quality of life of intradialytic hypertensive patients.

This article reports on the journey of a child with an inoperable hypothalamic-origin pilocytic astrocytoma causing hydrocephalus, which was refractory to treatment with shunts, and required a new approach. With multidisciplinary support, excellent nursing care and parental education, the child's hydrocephalus was managed long term in the community with bilateral long-tunnelled external ventricular drains (LTEVDs). This article describes the patient's journey and highlights the treatment protocols that were created to achieve this feat. Despite the difficulties in initially setting up these protocols, they proved successful and thus the team managing the patient proposed that LTEVDs are a viable treatment option for children with hydrocephalus in the context of inoperable tumours to help maximise quality of life.

Abstract Purpose There is no consensus on quality of life (QOL) in patients with acromegaly requiring medical treatment after surgery compared with those achieving remission by surgery alone. Methods QuaLAT is a cross-sectional study comparing QOL in surgery-only treated acromegaly patients versus those requiring medical treatment post-surgery. Patients attending clinics were identified and divided into—Group 1: patients who had surgery only and were in biochemical remission, Group 2: all patients on medical treatment post-surgery, Group 3: patients from Group 2 with biochemical control. Participants were asked to fill three questionnaires; Acromegaly Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACROQOL), 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF36), and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Results There were 32 patients in Group 1 and 25 in Group 2. There was no difference in QOL scores between groups 1 and 2, as measured by ACROQOL (mean difference [MD] = − 2.5, 95% CI − 16.6 to 11.6; p = 0.72), SF36v2 [Physical component score (PCS) MD = − 4.9, 95% CI − 10.9 to 1.2; p = 0.12; mental component score MD = − 3.0, 95% CI − 10.5 to 4.4; p = 0.44], or FSS (MD = − 0.004, 95% CI − 1.14 to 1.33; p = 0.1). Comparison between groups 1 and 3 however showed that PCS (and 3 subdomains) was significantly better in group 3 (MD = − 8.3, 95% CI − 14.8 to -1.8; p = 0.01). All three QOL scores were lower when compared with healthy controls. Conclusions Medical treatment not only achieves a QOL comparable to surgery, it may also be associated with better QOL in physical subdomains. When compared with healthy controls, QOL remains worse in treated acromegaly patients compared to controls.
