Article Abstract

Objective: To analyze factors influencing the service experience of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination and psychological status of patients admitted to a hospital and propose targeted solutions, and optimize the examination process and nursing by analyzing the MRI examination experience and psychological effect on patients.

Methods: The MRI examination rooms of two tertiary general hospitals in Haikou City were sampled at random, and 206 patients who met the study criteria were surveyed on site.

Results: (1) The item with the lowest mean score for patient examination services was whether earplugs were provided to the patient during the examination (B8 = 0.47). (2) Environmental logistics experience (16.83 ± 3.036) received the lowest score among the three service experience dimensions. (3) The average anxiety score of the patients was 5.38. (4) There was a positive correlation between the examination experience and the examination service experience of the patients. (5) Patients with higher monthly income had decreased anxiety (coefficient = -2.334), and MRI examination of the extremities relieved the anxiety (coefficient = -4.782).

Conclusion: The environmental logistics factors, poor service attitude, examination site, and income were the most significant factors affecting the MRI examination experience and psychological status of patients, which can be improved by providing information, enhancing the waiting environment, providing targeted patient education, and evaluating the experience immediately.

In recent decades, arthroscopic meniscal repair has been increasingly indicated for meniscal tears in the last decades. Although literature generally reports favorable surgical outcomes, it remains unclear whether the repaired meniscus maintains its function over the long term while performing its chondroprotective function without recurrent tear after clinical healing. A 43-year-old Japanese man who underwent meniscal repair for a bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus (MM) at the age of 15 years presented with right knee pain and catching symptoms without a preceding traumatic event.

Optic Nerve Head Pigmentation: Case Report and Literature Review.

Neuroophthalmology

September 2024

Neuro-Ophthalmology Department, King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

We describe a case of unilateral sectoral pigmentation of the optic disc in a healthy 58‑year‑old female who presented with decreased vision and visual field defect in the involved eye since childhood. The patient was initially diagnosed with melanocytoma of the optic nerve given the suggestive clinical appearance. Thorough assessment with magnetic resonance imaging studies, laboratory work-ups and ophthalmic examination indicated that the pigmentation was linked to optic nerve hypoplasia.

Emerging diseases in wildlife pose significant diagnostic challenges, with increasing evidence that not all cases of inflammatory disease can be directly attributed to infectious pathogens. This case series shows the results of clinical examination, magnetic resonance imaging, and necropsy results of two foxes, a silver fox () and a polar fox (), with non-suppurative meningoencephalomyelitis. Extensive diagnostics, including pathogen screening and next-generation sequencing, failed to identify a definitive causative infectious agent.
