Comparative Analysis of the Outcomes of Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy with D2 and D3 Lymphadenectomy in the Treatment of Patients with Right Colon Cancer by A. A. Nevolskikh, V. A. Avdeenko, Yu. Yu. Mikhaleva, T. P. Pochuev, P. V. Sokolov, R. F. Zibirov, I. P. Reznik, N. D. Silin, L. O. Petrov, S. A. Ivanov, A. D. Kaprin

“…To eliminate heterogeneity and adequately select groups, a pseudorandomization technique was used, after which the groups (n = 68) became statistically comparable in all main clinical parameters.Results. Statistically significant differences were obtained in the median duration of surgical intervention, which was longer in the group of patients with D3 lymph node dissection — 150 (60–393) and 213 (70–390) minutes (p < 0.001), and in the median time of flatus passage — 2 (1–4) and 3 (1–9) days, respectively (p = 0.042). …”

Urban monitoring, evaluation and application of COVID-19 listed vaccine effectiveness: a health code blockchain study by Tao Wang, Hongyan Li, Chaoqun Li, Zheheng Li

“…This study uses this system and statistical simulation to analyse three urban application scenarios, namely evaluating the vaccination rate (VR) and determining the optimal vaccination strategy, evaluating herd immunity and monitoring the VE on variant.Main outcome measures The primary outcomes first establish an urban COVID-19 listed VE monitoring, evaluation and application system by using the health code blockchain, combined with the dynamic monitoring model of VE, the evaluation index system of VE and the monitoring and evaluation system of personal privacy information use, and then three measures are analysed in urban simulation: one is to take the index reflecting urban population mobility as the weight to calculate the comprehensive VR, the second is to calculate the comprehensive basic reproduction number (R) in the presence of asymptomatic persons, the third is to compare the difference between the observed effectiveness and the true effectiveness of listed vaccines under virus variation.Results Combining this system and simulation, this study finds: (1) The comprehensive VR, which is weighted to reflect urban population mobility, is more accurate than the simple VR which does not take into account urban population mobility. …”

A study on the interaction of family function of parents of premature infants on home care preparation (早产儿父母家庭功能对家庭护理准备的交互作用研究) by JIANG Canhui (江灿慧), CHEN Yingfang (陈樱芳), YE Yanli (叶严丽)

“…Results The premature infants of mother had higher home care readiness than fathers, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0. 05), but there was no statistically significant difference in family function between the parents of premature infants (P＞0. 05). The main effect showed that both the father and mother's family functions had a positive predictive value for their own family care preparation (β father=0. 214, β mother=0. 311, both P＜0. 05). …”

Standardised packaging, minimum excise tax, and RYO focussed tax rise implications for UK tobacco pricing. by Rosemary Hiscock, Nicole H Augustin, J Robert Branston, Anna B Gilmore

“…Tax changes following the implementation of standardised packaging and the MET were more widely and quickly passed on to smokers in the form of higher prices than the tax change pre-implementation. The main limitations are first that because we do not know the exact mechanism by which Nielsen scales up sample data to provide UK estimates, we could only use data for a set three year period during which the same adjustments are made. …”
