Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Objective This study aimed to explore the effects of noise reduction on the physical and mental state of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in an orthopedic clinic.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 patients with LDH who received conservative treatment in the orthopedic outpatient clinic of Tsinghua University Hospital from February 2022 to February 2023. The orthopedics department underwent noise reduction renovations in August 2022 and has implemented noise control management since then. Sixty patients admitted before the renovations were assigned to the conventional group, and 60 patients admitted after the renovations were assigned to the noise reduction group. The two groups were compared in terms of noise levels during treatment, subjective negative perceptions of noise, pain level (visual analog scale [VAS] scores), negative emotions (self-rating anxiety scale [SAS] and self-rating depression scale [SDS]], sleep quality (Pittsburgh sleep quality index [PSQI]) and quality of life (36-item short-form health survey [SF-36]) before and after a 2-week treatment.
Results: Noise level and negative perception of noise in the noise reduction group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the noise reduction group had lower VAS, SAS, SDS, and PSQI scores (P < 0.05) but higher a SF-36 score than the conventional group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Noise reduction in an orthopedic clinic can reduce pain levels and negative emotions and improve the sleep quality and quality of life of patients with LDH.

Background: Stroke, frequently associated with carotid artery disease, is evaluated using carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA). Dual-energy CTA (DE-CTA) enhances imaging quality but presents challenges in maintaining high image clarity with low-dose scans.
Objectives: To compare the image quality of 50 keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) generated using Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) and Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) algorithms under a triple-low scanning protocol in carotid CTA.

Cervical cancer remains a significant cause of female mortality worldwide, primarily due to abnormal cell growth in the cervix. This study proposes an automated classification method to enhance detection accuracy and efficiency, addressing contrast and noise issues in traditional diagnostic approaches. The impact of image enhancement on classification performance is evaluated by comparing transfer learning-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models trained on both original and enhanced images.

Introduction: Submarine environments pose unique challenges to maintaining physical activity and exercise routines due to confined spaces, demanding schedules, and limited resources. This study investigated submariners' physical activity patterns, sleep quality, and perceived exercise barriers in both land- and sea-based settings, with the goal of informing targeted health interventions.
Materials And Methods: Ethics approval was granted by the Defence Science and Technology Group and Edith Cowan University review panels.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the psychological effects of real and virtual greenspaces and identify key environmental features that contribute to perceived restorativeness and mood changes in university students.
Study Design: A mixed-methods crossover experimental design was used to evaluate psychological responses to three types of greenspaces: real campus greenspaces, virtual campus greenspaces, and virtual forest greenspaces.
Methods: Thirty-five college students participated in three 20-min greenspace exposures, spaced one week apart in randomized order.
