Abstract: Objective: To assess application of humanistic nursing care for patient with bipolar disorder who use SPECT renal dynamic imaging when they are treated. Methods: 120 participants were invested to join our study from January 2018 to December 2018, who were diagnosed as bipolar disorder and were receive measure was associated with SPECT renal dynamic imaging. We randomly assign the participants to two groups, that include control group (n = 60) and intervention group (n = 60). The control group participants were received traditional nursing services. Base on traditional nursing services, the intervention group patients has additional humanistic nursing care in the treatment process. Our researchers collected the information include the participants character, the satisfaction of patients and satisfaction rate of different age group in intervention group. The information from hospital database, interview and simple questionnaires. Result: In participants characteristics, the patients compliance of two groups have different in the result [57 (95%) vs 49 (80%), p = 0.025]. In patient satisfaction research, the intervention group has better assessment in overall result, it not only has not dissatisfaction assessment but also has most very well assessment rate [42 (70.0%) vs 32 (53.3%)]. In satisfaction rate of different age group research, the most very well assessments from ‘< 20 years old’ group and ‘> 41 years old’ group. Conclusion: the humanistic nursing care provide great improvement of satisfaction to the patient with bipolar disorder who use SPECT Renal dynamic imaging when they are treated.

Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the role of fetal pulmonary artery Doppler indices and quantitative ultrasound texture analysis of the fetal lung (quantus FLM) in prediction of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Method: This Observational prospective cross sectional study included 40 pregnant women between 28 and 40 weeks gestation. The diagnostic accuracy of MPA Doppler measurements (pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI) and acceleration time/ejection time (AT/ET) for diagnosis of neonatal RDS was tested by comparing the Doppler findings with the clinical outcome. Results: Of the 40 eligible fetuses, 9 (22%) developed neonatal RDS There was a significant correlation between the AT/ET and the development of the RDS as the AT/ET was significantly lower in the RDS +ve group (mean 0.27) in comparison to the RDS-ve group (mean 0.34) (P 0.001). While both PI and RI showed no statistically significant difference in between the two groups. A cutoff value of 0.3 for AT/ET predicted the development of RDS (sensitivity: 77.78%, specificity: 83.87%). Quantus FLM predicted the development of neonatal RDS with high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy (88.98%, 90.32%, 72.7%, 96.6% and 90%respectively). The area under curve was 0.896. Conclusion: Neonatal RDS can be predicted using the MPA AT/ET and quantitative ultrasound texture analysis of the fetal lung (quantus FLM) with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract: Background: COVID-19 caused by SARS CoV-2 involves respiratory system leading to respiratory failure and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in critical patients. Several chest imaging features have been reported in patients with COVID-19 ranging from focal to diffuse lung opacities. There is no data from Saudi Arabia on the chest imaging findings in these patients. Material and Methods: CT chest data of 29 patients who were admitted with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was reviewed. Radiology abnormality was categorized based upon pattern and distribution. Clinical and laboratory data of patients were collected by reviewing the electronic medical record. Patients were divided into mild and severe group based on clinical assessment and laboratory criteria. Radiology changes were compared with disease severity. Results: Median (Q1, Q3) age was 58 (41,70) years and median (Q1, Q3) time from symptom onset to CT scan was 6.5 (3.0, 9.75) days. Bilateral ground glass opacities were the most common CT scan feature in patients with COVID-19 (76%). Opacities were dominant in the lower zone (72%) and frequently distributed peripherally (48%). Severe disease was most likely to have bilateral opacities compared with mild (p = 0.001) and it was correlated with rise of inflammatory markers, Ferritin (p=0.014) and C-reactive protein (p=0.0003). Conclusion: Most patients with COVID-19 who have abnormal CT scan of chest show ground glass opacities. Bilateral opacities are more common in severe disease and is correlated with elevated inflammatory markers.
