Risk factors and drug resistance of non-tuberculous mycobacteria in HIV/Aids patients
Background The incidence and infection rate of Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are increasing across different regions, with regional variations in the types, distribution, and drug resistance profiles. Our objective was to investigate the risk factors, distribution of predominant Mycobacteria species, and phenotypic drug resistance profiles in co-infected HIV/AIDS patients in southern China. Methods Blood and sputum samples were collected fro…
An investigation into the impact of family integrated care on extrauterine growth restriction at discharge in very low birth weight infants
Background: Family integrated care (FIC) encourages parental involvement in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and has been found to promote weight gain in preterm infants. Extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) results from inadequate growth among very low birth weight infants (VLBWI), which has been found to contribute to parental anxiety. To address an existing gap in research, we aimed to examine the impact of parental involvement on EUGR a…
The COPD risk associated with adulthood weight change and early adulthood BMI
Gaps concerning general adiposity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are delaying policies for weight interventions in COPD prevention, especially adiposity in early adulthood and weight changes during adulthood. Based on the China Kadoorie Biobank, a prospective cohort between 2004–2008 covering 5 urban and 5 rural areas, we included 138,764 males and 194,159 females aged 35 ~ 70 years. Weight change was defined as the difference b…
The positivity rates and drug resistance patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using nucleotide Maldi-TOF MS assay among suspected tuberculosis patients in Shandong, China
Objective: (MTB) among suspected tuberculosis (TB) patients in Shandong Province, the second-largest population province in China. Methods: A prospective, multi-center study was conducted from April 2022 to June 2023. Pathogen and drug resistance were identified using nucleotide matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (nucleotide MALDI-TOF MS). Results: Of 940 suspected TB patients included in this study, 552 …
Nomogram model for screening the risk of frailty in older adult atrial fibrillation patients
Background: Frailty is common in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but the specific risk factors contributing to frailty need further investigation. There is an urgent need for a risk prediction model to identify individuals at high risk of frailty. Aims and objectives: This cross-sectional study aims to explore the multiple risk factors of frailty in older adult patients with AF and then construct a nomogram model to predict frailty risk. Metho…
Efficacy and Risk Factors of Interferon-Gamma Release Assays among HIV-Positive Individuals
Latent tuberculosis is prevalent in HIV-infected people and has an impact on the progression of AIDS. The aim of this study is to match a more accurate IGRA method for the better detection of latent tuberculosis infection in HIV patients. All 2394 patients enrolled were tested using three IGRA methods. The positive rate consistency of pairwise comparison and risk factors were analyzed. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was app…
Effects of an autonomy-supportive intervention programme (Asip) on self-care, quality of life, and mental health in heart failure patients
“Now I hear what you say” - How short EAP courses can foster successful academic interactional strategies
Tuberculosis among Ambulatory People Living with HIV in Guangxi Province, China
The prevalence of TB among ambulatory people with HIV in Guangxi Province was 14 times higher than the general population, and the annual declined TB prevalence indicated the effectiveness of TB and HIV control and prevention over recent years. The findings proved that symptom screening was insufficient for TB diagnosis and highlighted the importance of systematic TB screening at every visit to a health facility
How did development zones affect China’s land transfers? The scale, marketization, and resource allocation effect
A translanguaging perspective on medium of instruction in the CFL classroom
Although recent years have witnessed increasing interest in learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) in China and around the world, there seems to be a paucity of research into the medium of instruction in the CFL classroom. This paper describes a study of the practice of MoI choice in the CFL classroom, situated within the framework of translanguaging. Five focus group interviews and eight classroom observations were conducted across five un…

Agglomerative patterns and cooperative networks of the online video industry in China
This paper examines the impacts of new digital technologies on the geographies of cultural production. Drawing on a large dataset collected from a leading Chinese online video platform, it analyses the geographical distribution and cooperative networks of a newly emerged subsector of cultural industries, namely the online video industry. The results reveal the transformative impacts of new internet platforms on the agglomeration of cultural indus…
Building a People-Centred Integrated Care Model in Urban China
The establishment of the Luohu Hospital Group transformed the originally fragmented delivery system into a tightly integrated service delivery networks. Though valuable lessons have been generated, the reform and its impacts require ongoing monitoring
Electronic Peer Feedback, EFL Academic Writing and Reflective Thinking
Electronic peer feedback (e-PF) has offered a number of benefits to English as a foreign language (EFL) students' academic writing competence and reflective thinking. However, little research has been conducted to examine whether e-PF can be incorporated in Confucian heritage culture (CHC) contexts. With a sample of 40 Vietnamese university students, the purpose of this study was threefold: (a) to explore whether e-PF improved students' global an…
Hot and Cold Spot Areas of Household Tuberculosis Transmission in Southern China
The aims of the study were: (1) compare sociodemographic characteristics among active tuberculosis (TB) cases and their household contacts in cold and hot spot transmission areas, and (2) quantify the influence of locality, genotype and potential determinants on the rates of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among household contacts of index TB cases. Parallel case-contact studies were conducted in two geographic areas classified as "cold" and…
Tuberculosis Transmission in Households and Classrooms of Adolescent Cases Compared to the Community in China
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the link between the history of exposure to tuberculosis (TB) in the household and diagnosed TB cases at school, and to compare the detection rate of active TB among household contacts and classroom contacts of adolescent TB cases with the rates among contacts of healthy controls. From November 2016 to December 2017, a prospective matched case-control study was conducted using passively identified index adoles…
Antibiotic prescribing for upper respiratory infections among children in rural China
BACKGROUND: Overuse of antibiotics contributes to the development of antimicrobial resistance. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the condition of antibiotic use at health facilities at county, township and village levels in rural Guangxi, China. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions in 2014 for children aged 2-14 years with upper respiratory infections (URI). Twenty health facilities were randomly…
Prevalence of past‐year dental visit among US adults, 1999–2010
Estimates of PPYDV from BRFSS were notably higher than estimates from MEPS, NHIS, or NHANES except among the edentate. Trends in PPYDV over time, however, were consistent across all surveys
Permanent tooth loss and sugar‐sweetened beverage intake in U.S. young adults
Frequency of SSB consumption was positively associated with tooth loss among young adults even when the average SSB intake was less than one time per day. This study suggests that efforts to reduce SSB intake among young adults may help to decrease the risk of tooth loss

Developing a Pedagogy of Metacognition and Transfer
Schools and teachers in England and Wales are under pressure to raise standards. Currently, there is little direct relationship between research activity and support for teachers in meeting these demands. The context for the article is teaching thinking which is being promoted as a means to raise standards by the current government. Teaching thinking includes the concepts of metacognition and transfer in its underpinnings but there is little prac…
