Article Abstract

Background: In China, community-dwelling older adults with intrinsic capacity (IC) impairments often turn first to primary care centers, where they face increasingly complex health needs. Given the high prevalence of IC impairment among older adults in Chinese communities, there is a pressing need to explore context-specific, nurse-led multi-domain interventions to support functional ability and healthy aging.

Design: A parallel-group, cluster randomized trial conducted in September 2023, involving 86 older adults from two distinct communities.

Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to either a 14-week nurse-led multidomain intervention or usual care. Intrinsic capacity-including composite IC, and the domains of locomotion, cognition, vitality, psychological well-being, and sensory function-was assessed at baseline (T0), immediately post-intervention (T1), and one month post-intervention (T2). Statistical analyses included descriptive and inferential tests.

Results: Data from 81 participants were analyzed. The intervention group showed significantly higher IC scores than the control group at both T1 and T2 (T1: t = 6.607, P < 0.001; T2: t = 7.118, P < 0.001). Significant between-group (F = 38.948, P < 0.001), time (F = 19.753, P < 0.001), and interaction effects (F = 36.830, P < 0.001) were observed. Improvements were noted in the locomotion, cognition, and vitality domains (P < 0.05), while no significant changes were found in psychological or sensory domains (P > 0.05).

Conclusion: The nurse-led multidomain intervention effectively enhanced intrinsic capacity, particularly in locomotion, cognition, and vitality, but had limited impact on psychological and sensory domains. Further research is warranted to optimize intervention strategies for improving IC among community-dwelling older adults.

Introduction: Despite high coverage of routine childhood vaccines, uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the Pacific Island nation of Tonga has been slow. Culturally appropriate communication resources on the importance, safety, and effectiveness of the HPV vaccine are critical to support acceptance and uptake. To develop these resources, it is important to understand what people want to know.

Rare diseases, defined by the 2002 Rare Disease Act, affect fewer than 5 in 10,000 individuals. Rare metabolic bone diseases (MBDs), such as osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatasia, osteopetrosis, and other unclassified disorders, can disrupt bone development and remodeling, posing diagnostic and management challenges. This study analyzed data from the rarembd.

The surgical approach of ureteral stricture has changed dramatically over the past 15 years with the rise of robotic upper urinary tract reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of all robotic ureteral reconstructions performed at a single academic center for ureteral stricture and to assess the predictive factors of stricture recurrence. The charts of all patients who underwent robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction between 2013 and 2024 at a single academic center were retrospectively reviewed.

Objective: Reveal the changing rule of the positional relationship between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery by measuring the relevant parameters between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery in different age groups.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1240 cases of cervical spine imaging data from 2018 to 2021 in the Radiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. The distance between the uncinate process superior ridge and vertebral artery and the maximum of pedicle transverse angle, the minimum of pedicle transverse angle, the range of pedicle transverse angle and the pedicle width were measured according to age groups.

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are generally benign neoplasms, though in rare cases may exhibit aggressive behavior. In 2024, the PANOMEN-3 workshop released a new clinical-pathological classification. The objective of this study was to examine the potential of the PANOMEN-3 classification to predict prognosis of PAs and guide treatment in our single center cohort of patients with PAs.
