Early full nursing helps patients with some dysfunctions speed up the reorganization of central nervous system functions and coordinate muscle and limb activities. Postdischarge continuation nursing for patients who have not fully recovered after being discharged from the hospital can transfer nursing work from the hospital to the family to meet their nursing needs. In this study, early full nursing combined with postdischarge continuation nursing was used for patients with traumatic brain injury to explore its efficacy and its impact on patients' motor function, quality of life, and complications. The results of the study show that the total effective rate of the observation group (95.92%) was higher than that of the control group (85.71%). At discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge, the upper limb Fugl-Meyer score, lower limb Fugl-Meyer score, ARAT score, FIM score, 4 dimensions of GQOLI-74 score, and Barthel index scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group in the same period. The postoperative complication rate (10.20%) of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (26.53%). Early full nursing combined with postdischarge continuation nursing can improve the rehabilitation effect, effectively promote the recovery of motor function in patients with traumatic brain injury, improve the quality of life, and reduce postoperative complications.

Abstract The incidence of cerebral apoplexy has been on the rise in recent years, and research on the treatment and care of this disease has also received much attention. Therefore, a clinical study of neurological care for cerebral apoplexy rehabilitation care was conducted. Firstly, the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm is introduced, and then the Diffie-Hellman prediction model is established. The patient is taken as an example to carry out simulation test, and the prediction model is compared with the real data. The data of the network model training set, the verification set and the test set are obtained. Patients were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method. The evaluation indicators included the treatment efficiency and the quality of life of the two groups. The results showed that the effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The experiment proves that the clinical effect of neurological nursing on cerebral apoplexy rehabilitation nursing is positive, which can improve the limb movement and self-living ability of patients, improve the quality of life of patients and improve patient satisfaction. Clinical study of neurology nursing on cerebral apoplexy rehabilitation nursing is discussed in this paper, and the rehabilitation nursing method and formal standardized nursing process of this disease are standardized.

Objective. This study was to compare the effects of symptomatic treatment and high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) treatment on patients with advanced lung cancer complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to explore the clinical application effect of HFNC treatment in such patients. Methods. 80 patients with advanced lung cancer and COPD admitted to the hospital were selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into a control group (n = 40) and an observation group (n = 40). The computed tomography (CT) image data of all patients were classified. The neural network was trained to obtain the network weights. Based on surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, patients in the control group received anti-inflammatory, phlegm, and other symptomatic treatments, while patients in the observation group received HFNC treatment on this basis. The blood gas analysis results, clinical symptoms (cough, wheezing, rales, etc.), inflammatory factors (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), plateletcrit (PCT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)), and quality of life of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results. When the model MSE was the smallest, the corresponding hidden layer neuron node value was 49, so 49 was set as the optimal number of hidden layer neuron nodes. CT images were imported into the constructed model system, and the model diagnosis system could still diagnose and classify under the premise that the pathological characteristics were not obvious. There was no significant difference in clinical data between the two groups of patients before treatment ( P > 0.05 ). After treatment, the clinical symptoms, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), hs-CRP, PCT, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels were greatly reduced; those of patients in the observation group were much better in contrast to those of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The total effective rate in the observation group was 97.5%, and the effective rate in the control group was 87.5%. After treatment, the functional assessment of cancer therapy-lung (FACT-L) score was obviously higher than that before treatment ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the quality of life in the observation group was increased by 45.69% compared with that before treatment, and the quality of life in the control group was increased by 35.77%. Conclusion. HFNC therapy can improve the lung function of patients with advanced lung cancer and COPD, alleviate the development of the disease, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective. To explore the effect of rapid rehabilitation nursing combined with continuous nursing after discharge on patients with cerebral infarction (CI) in recovery period and its influence on motor function, mental state, and quality of life. Methods. From January 2018 to December 2020, 136 patients with CI in recovery period were selected and randomly divided into control group (n = 68) and observation group (n = 68). The control group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was given rapid rehabilitation nursing combined with continuous nursing after discharge. The general clinical data of the two groups were recorded, and the nursing efficiency, modified Barthel index scale (MBI), stroke patients motor assessment scale (MAS), self-rating anxiety and depression scale (SAS and SDS), and quality of life assessment scale (QLI) were compared between the two groups. Results. The nursing effective rate of the observation group (94.12%, 64/68) was higher than that of the control group (82.35%, 56/68) ( P < 0.05 ). The MBI score, MAS score, and QLI score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the SAS and SDS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Rapid rehabilitation nursing combined with continuous nursing after discharge can promote the rapid recovery of patients with CI in recovery period, which can improve the patient’s motor function, reduce unhealthy psychology, and improve the quality of life.

Objective Attention problems are common in children who sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The differential features of TBI-related Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and primary ADHD are largely unknown. This study aimed to compare sleep problems and quality of life between children with TBI and ADHD and children with primary ADHD. Methods Twenty children with TBI (mean age = 12.7 ± 3.1 years) who had clinically significant ADHD symptoms according to the structured diagnostic interview and rating scales and a control group with primary ADHD (n = 20) were included. Parents completed Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and Kinder Lebensqualitätsfragebogen: Children’s Quality of Life Questionnaire-revised (KINDL-R). Neurology clinic charts were reviewed for TBI-related variables. Results When compared to children with primary ADHD, the Total Score and Sleep Onset Delay, Daytime Sleepiness, Parasomnias, and Sleep Disordered Breathing subscores of CSHQ were found to be higher in children with TBI and ADHD. The Total Score and Emotional Well-Being and Self-Esteem subscores of the KINDL-R were found to be low (poorer) in children with TBI and ADHD. The Total Score and certain subscores of KINDL-R were found to be lower in TBI patients with a CSHQ > 56 (corresponds to significant sleep problems) when compared to those with a CSHQ < 56. CSHQ Total Score was negatively correlated with age. Conclusion Children with TBI and ADHD symptoms were found to have a poorer sleep quality and quality of life than children with primary ADHD. ADHD in TBI may be considered as a highly impairing condition which must be early diagnosed and treated.

Whole body vibration has been proven to improve the health status of patients with fibromyalgia, providing an activation of the neuromuscular spindles, which are responsible for muscle contraction. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two types of whole body vibrating platforms (vertical and rotational) during a 12-week training program. Sixty fibromyalgia patients (90% were women) were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: group A (n = 20), who performed the vibration training with a vertical platform; group B (n = 20), who did rotational platform training; or a control group C (n = 20), who did not do any training. Sensitivity measures (pressure pain and vibration thresholds), quality of life (Quality of Life Index), motor function tasks (Berg Scale, six-minute walking test, isometric back muscle strength), and static and dynamic balance (Romberg test and gait analysis) were assessed before, immediately after, and three months after the therapy program. Although both types of vibration appeared to have beneficial effects with respect to the control group, the training was more effective with the rotational than with vertical platform in some parameters, such as vibration thresholds (p < 0.001), motor function tasks (p < 0.001), mediolateral sway (p < 0.001), and gait speed (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, improvements disappeared in the follow-up in both types of vibration. Our study points out greater benefits with the use of rotational rather than vertical whole body vibration. The use of the rotational modality is recommended in the standard therapy program for patients with fibromyalgia. Due to the fact that the positive effects of both types of vibration disappeared during the follow-up, continuous or intermittent use is recommended.

Background and objectives: Acquired brain injury (ABI) is the first cause of disability and physical activity (PA) is a key element in functional recovery and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) during the subacute and chronic phases. However, it is necessary to develop PA programs that respond to the heterogeneity and needs of this population. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PA program on the HRQoL in this population. Materials and Methods: With regard to recruitment, after baseline evaluations, participants were assigned to either the intervention group (IG, n = 38) or the control group (CG, n = 35). Functional capacity, mood, quality of life and depression were measured pre- and post-intervention. The IG underwent the “Physical Activity and Sport for Acquired Brain Injury” (PASABI) program, which was designed to improve HRQoL (1-h sessions, two to four sessions/week for 18 weeks). The CG underwent a standard rehabilitation program without PA. Results: Results for the IG indicated significant differences and large effect sizes for the physical and mental dimensions of quality of life, as well as mood and functional capacity, indicating an increase in HRQoL. No significant differences were found for the CG across any variables. Conclusions: The PASABI program was feasible and beneficial for improving physiological and functionality variables in the IG. The wide range of the activities of the PASABI program allow its application to a large number of people with ABI, promoting health through PA, especially in the chronic phase.

Objective: To evaluate the patient’s awareness of his or her difficulties in the chronic phase of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to determine the factors related to poor awareness. Design/Setting/Subjects: This study was part of a larger prospective inception cohort study of patients with severe TBI in the Parisian region (PariS-TBI study). Intervention/Main measures: Evaluation was carried out at four years and included the Brain Injury Complaint Questionnaire (BICoQ) completed by the patient and his or her relative as well as the evaluation of impairments, disability and quality of life. Results: A total of 90 patient-relative pairs were included. Lack of awareness was measured using the unawareness index that corresponded to the number of discordant results between the patient and relative in the direction of under evaluation of difficulties by the patient. The only significant relationship found with lack of awareness was the subjective burden perceived by the relative (Zarit Burden Inventory) ( r = 0.5; P < 0.00001). There was no significant relationship between lack of awareness and injury severity, pre-injury socio-demographic data, cognitive impairments, mood disorders, functional independence (Barthel index), global disability (Glasgow Outcome Scale), return to work at four years or quality of life (Quality Of Life after Brain Injury scale (QOLIBRI)). Conclusion: Lack of awareness four years post severe TBI was not related to the severity of the initial trauma, sociodemographic data, the severity of impairments, limitations of activity and participation, or the patient’s quality of life. However, poor awareness did significantly influence the weight of the burden perceived by the relative.
