    Abstract In today’s society, many families do not have children due to various reasons. The reasons include the pressure brought by childcare, and that double-income families do not have time to raise children, especially novice parents who will retreat. For this reason, we made a chatbot to solve problems. Through the questionnaires collected by our study, we found that most novice parents use INFANBOT when their children cry, thus, we used a baby’s cry as an example here. When parents face a baby’s cry, they can tap the button “burst into tears!”. The chatbot will immediately tell parents how to solve the problem. The authors designed a chatbot system named INFANBOT that combined the concepts of infancy health education to alleviate parents’ troubles at work and parenting. It also reduced the anxiety of caregivers during the parenting process and gave them correct parenting knowledge. The INFANBOT is a real-time system that can provide real-time services to novice parents. Additionally, when the user is using INFANBOT, the system will record the problems encountered and invite the user to fill in a questionnaire at an appropriate time to improve the system. After a preliminary study, we found that INFANBOT can solve most of the problems encountered by users. Statistically, all respondents gave above 4.5 points in the Likert-type five-point scale. Therefore, most respondents felt that INFANBOT could solve their problems effectively and quickly. The INFANBOT system developed by this study is designed to meet the needs of users. The system design of INFANBOT established in this study met the needs of its users and can help users improve their parenting troubles. This study also has positive effects and contributions to society: 1. After using INFANBOT, users can effectively improve their knowledge of children’s health education. 2. After using INFANBOT, users feel recognition of the professionalism of the health care knowledge provided by the robot, which can effectively improve the user’s parenting problems. 3. Most of ...

    Abstract Background/purpose: Self-etching bonding systems are widely used in fiber post cementation. However, no clear guidelines are established for choosing pre- or co-curing procedures. We investigated the bond strength of fiber post cementation using pre-/co-curing methods in self-etching bonding systems and compared them with those of a self-adhesive system.
    Materials and methods: Post spaces were prepared in 30 single-rooted premolars/canines, and the fiber posts were cemented in three ways (10 specimens per group): using a self-etching bonding system with either a pre-curing or simultaneous co-curing procedure (RelyX™ Ultimate; groups SE-pre and SE-co, respectively) and using a self-adhesive system (RelyX™ Unicem 2, group SA). Each specimen was embedded and sliced perpendicularly to the long axis into three 2.5-mm-thick sections. Microphotographs of the coronal and apical surfaces of each section were acquired, and push-out tests (1 mm/min) were performed. One-way analysis of variance was conducted on the data, followed by Tukey's honestly significant difference post hoc test.
    Results: The bond strength in the whole root was not significantly different among the three groups. When independently evaluating each portion, group SE-co exhibited significantly lower coronal bond strength. The bond strength varied among root regions only in group SE-pre; the apical region had a significantly lower value.
    Conclusion: No cementation method is superior in all portions. Regarding pre-curing methods, clinicians must caution the fit between the post and post space, which may be affected by the pre-polymerized bond layer. The co-curing method used in a larger coronal cement space contributes to the poor bond strength.

    Abstract Objectives: Nasopharyngeal cancer is a common cancer in East and South Asia. The radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimen has advanced in recent years. However, many patients still suffer from local recurrence and distant metastasis; thus, identifying medication that can be combined with standard treatment to improve the treatment outcomes in nasopharyngeal cancer patients is an unmet need.
    Methods: We included nasopharyngeal cancer patients from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database (NHIRD). The primary endpoint was set as the cancer-specific mortality rate. Metformin cohorts and non-Metformin cohorts were matched by sex, age, and the year of the index date. Propensity score matching with a ratio of 1:1 was applied.
    Results: A total of 6078 subjects were included in the study, with 3039 patients in each group. Male participants outnumbered female participants. Most of the patients were aged 50 to 64; the mean age was 60.4 ± 10.4 years in Metformin non-users, and that of Metformin users was 59.9 ± 10.5 years. Metformin users had a lower risk of death due to nasopharyngeal cancer (adjusted HR = 0.80; 95% CI = 0.71, 0.90) than controls.
    Conclusions: We concluded that Metformin might be effective at reducing the cancer-specific mortality rate in nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Further randomized control trials should be completed.

    Abstract Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) is a complication observed in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants on mechanical ventilation. Despite various proposed therapeutic interventions, the success rates have shown inconsistency. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) stands out as a novel respiratory support mode, offering lower pressure and tidal volume in comparison to conventional ventilation methods. In this case report, we present five ELBW infants with refractory PIE who were transitioned to NAVA ventilation. Following the switch to NAVA, all cases of PIE gradually resolved. In contrast to traditional modes, NAVA provided respiratory support with significantly lower fraction of inspired oxygen, reduced peak inspiratory pressure, diminished mean airway pressure, and decreased tidal volume within 7 days of NAVA utilization (

    Abstract Myofascial pain around an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) during hemodialysis (HD) can affect a patient compliance with HD and quality of life. Prolonged use of analgesics is often associated with increased adverse events. Juan Bi Tang (JBT) is an ancient decoction of Chinese traditional medicinal plants commonly used to treat spasms and pain in the shoulder and upper arm, and it is popularly believed to have favorable outcomes in Asian populations. This interventional prospective pilot study was worked to demonstrate the potential of JBT for fistula-associated myofascial pain in HD patients and to prepare for future randomized controlled trials. Eligible patients were enrolled in this study and took JBT to treat fistula-associated myofascial pain for 4 weeks. Pain scores on a visual analogue scale (VAS) were reported at baseline, after a 4-week intervention, and 2 weeks after completion of treatment. The Kidney Disease Quality of Life 36-Item Short Form and a safety laboratory monitor were statistically compared between different time points. A total of 20 patients were selected as eligible participants and completed the intervention and questionnaires. The mean VAS score was significantly reduced after JBT treatment (P < .01). Participants reported improved physical (P < .01) and mental health (P < .05) after treatment. However, only improvements in mental health were preserved 2 weeks after the end of treatment (P < .05). In this study, complementary JBT for HD patients with fistula-related myofascial pain was viable and well tolerated, and it demonstrated the expected effects on pain control.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to inadequate insulin secretion, resistance, or both. The cardiovascular complications of DM are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. There are three major types of pathophysiologic cardiac remodeling including coronary artery atherosclerosis, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, and DM cardiomyopathy in patients with DM. DM cardiomyopathy is a distinct cardiomyopathy characterized by myocardial dysfunction in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and valvular heart disease. Cardiac fibrosis, defined as the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, is a hallmark of DM cardiomyopathy. The pathophysiology of cardiac fibrosis in DM cardiomyopathy is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular mechanisms. Cardiac fibrosis contributes to the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which increases mortality and the incidence of hospitalizations. As medical technology advances, the severity of cardiac fibrosis in DM cardiomyopathy can be evaluated by non-invasive imaging modalities such as echocardiography, heart computed tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear imaging. In this review article, we will discuss the pathophysiology of cardiac fibrosis in DM cardiomyopathy, non-invasive imaging modalities to evaluate the severity of cardiac fibrosis, and therapeutic strategies for DM cardiomyopathy.

    Abstract Neurorehabilitation devices and technologies are crucial for enhancing stroke recovery. These include noninvasive brain stimulation devices that provide repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation, which can remodulate an injured brain. Technologies such as robotics, virtual reality, and telerehabilitation are suitable add-ons or complements to physical therapy. However, the appropriate application of these devices and technologies, which target specific deficits and stages, for stroke therapy must be clarified. Accordingly, a literature review was conducted to evaluate the theoretical and practical evidence on the use of neurorehabilitation devices and technologies for stroke therapy. This narrative review provides a practical guide for the use of neurorehabilitation devices and describes the implications of use and potential integration of these devices into healthcare.
