Objective: To assess the effects of self-efficacy theory centered comprehensive interventions on perioperative nutritional status, self-management ability, self-efficacy perception, and quality of life in patients undergoing radical surgery for gastric cancer.
Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, 213 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at a tertiary specialized hospital in Sichuan Province from October 2023 to April 2024 were selected as the research subjects for randomized controlled trial. The selected patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group with 107 cases and the control group with 106 cases. The experimental group received self-efficacy centered comprehensive interventions including dietary guidance, psychological intervention and counseling, symptom management, exercise guidance, etc. The control group received routine medical interventions. The nutritional status, self-efficacy, self-management ability, and quality of life of the two groups of patients were evaluated at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after discharge from hospital.
Results: The analytical outcomes across diverse time intervals demonstrated that the nutritional risk of patients in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while the self-efficacy scale, self-management ability scale, and quality of life scores in the experimental group were all higher than those in the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Comprehensive interventions centered on self-efficacy theory can improve the nutritional status, self-efficacy, self-management ability, and quality of life of patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective: Aim: To find out new objective criteria for laser histological differential diagnosis of thyroid pathology based on the use of a digital method of layer-by-layer polarization-interference mapping of polarization ellipticity maps of microscopic images of native histological sections of thyroid biopsy.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Four groups of patients were studied: control group 1 - healthy donors (51 patients); study group 2 - patients with nodular goiter (51 patients); study group 3 - patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (51 patients); study group 4 - patients with papillary cancer (51 patients). Methods used: polarization-interference, statistical.

Objective: To verify the effect of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).
Methods: the sample included controlled and randomized experimental studies of individuals with LC, at any stage of the disease, over 18 years of age, of both sexes, who performed any type of physical exercise compared to any other intervention or no intervention, with quality of life as the outcome assessed by the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ). The search for articles was conducted in 11 databases.

Background: Parasite antigens and plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels from luminal origin in visceral leishmaniasis (VL) patients are correlated with cellular activation and low CD4+T cell counts.
Objectives: Our aim was to verify whether Leishmania infantum infection damages the intestinal barrier and whether combination antimonial/antibiotic contributes to the reduction of LPS levels and immune activation.
Methods: Golden hamsters were grouped in: G1-uninfected; G2-infected with L.
