The Safety and Efficiency of Endovascular Treatment of Acute or Subacute Thromboembolic Occlusions of Lower Extremity.

Based on the development of new tools, including drug coated balloon, paclitaxel eluting stent, interwoven stents, debulking tools, More and more acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity included stage IIb were treated with endovascular procedures. Most guidelines suggests only stage I and stage IIa lesions are suitable for endovascular treatments. Therefore, a well-designed real-world study that track the safety and clinical relevant outcomes, are required to determine the optimal therapies for patients with acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity.

Neuromodulation of the Autonomic Nervous System in Athletes

There are few studies in the literature that have evaluated the effects of using percutaneous stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve for sports purposes (to accelerate recovery after physical exertion). It has been demonstrated that tVNS in athletes improved the rate of heart rate recovery, reduced lactic acid levels in blood plasma, reduced pain, reduced overtraining syndrome and fatigue levels.

Tenofovir Alafenamide Switch Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis B

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients may be unsatisfied to entecavir (ETV) therapy due to the inconvenience in drug taking, i.e., fasting for more than 2 hours and/or dose adjustment according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has been approved to be highly effective and safe in patients with CHB, and is convenient in drug taking, i.e., once daily regardless food taking and renal function.Therefore,TAF can be a good option in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to assess the improvement on satisfaction (including drug adherence) of TAF switch therapy in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. In addition, with expected adherence improvement in TAF switch therapy, the efficacy of TAF switch therapy may be improved, and the efficacy benefits can be evaluated by the changes of some novel biomarkers, such as HBV core-related antigen (HBcrAg). The investigators therefore aim to conduct a prospective cohort study of TAF switch therapy for CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy.

Comparing of Using Interactive E-books and Traditional Education Methods for Nursing Students and Nursing Staff

Cancer-related comorbidities are a major focus of care for medical staff, especially the incidence of "insomnia" in cancer patients should not be underestimated, and the treatment of cancer-related insomnia by clinical medical staff is often limited to verbal instructions and suggestions, lacking routine and a systematic process. Although "Cognitive behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBTI)" is widely used, due to the limitation of personnel and high time cost, later generations improved "Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (BBTI)", which not only broadens the clinical application but also increases the patient's willingness to cooperate. In recent years, the integration of technology into teaching has become a trend. Among them, interactive e-books are widely used. It not only enhances users' learning motivation and interest but also is effective in building practical confidence. It can also customize course content according to different needs. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of using interactive e-book teaching and traditional teaching methods to learn Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia. The object is aimed at nursing students and clinical nurses. An experimental research design is adopted. A total of 165\~180 clinical nurses and university nursing students will be pre-selected and randomly assigned to the control group or the experimental group. The control group learned through paper health education leaflets and traditional oral explanations; the experimental group used interactive e-books to intervene in learning Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia, the subjects needed to fill out the pre-test and post-test questionnaires before and after the experiment to compare the difference in the learning effects of the two groups of subjects, and expect that the group using interactive e-book will have better learning effects and course satisfaction.

Well-being in Students and Teachers Study

The goal of this randomized trial is to test the effectiveness of two universal classroom-based mindfulness social and emotional learning (SEL) programs (one for students and one for teachers) by examining behavioral outcomes on 5th and 6th grade students and their teachers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the singular and combined effects of a mindfulness-based SEL education programs for teachers and their students on the development of students' and their teachers' social, emotional, and cognitive competence, and well-being? * Can mindfulness-based SEL education programs for students and teachers foster the creation of caring, inclusive, equitable, and collaborative classroom contexts? * Can mindfulness-based SEL education programs support the development of students' and teachers' prosocial attitudes, mindsets that positively impact student learning? * Are the effects durable beyond the end of the programs with regard to the singular and combined mindfulness-based SEL interventions? A total of 24 classrooms will be randomized into one of three study conditions: 1. Mindfulness SEL program for Educators only 2. Mindfulness SEL program for Educators and Mindfulness SEL program for Students in combination, and 3. "Business as usual" (comparison groups in which regular classroom SEL curricula is implemented). Data will be obtained via multiple objective and subjective methods (e.g., self- and teacher-reports, peer behavioral assessments) from different sources (e.g., self-, peer-, and teacher-reports). Data will also be collected to monitor implementation of the two programs. To explore the ways in which these two programs impact student, teacher, and classroom outcomes, data will be analyzed to compare students and teachers in the three conditions. In Phase One (year one), the investigators will conduct an experimental "outcome" study to examine the singular and combined effects of the two programs by comparing pre-test and post-test measures across the three conditions. In Phase Two (year two), the investigators will conduct a six-month follow up with those teachers and students who participated in Phase One in order to determine the degree to which the program effects are durable after the program has ended.
