Heart failure(HF)is the final stage of various cardiovascular diseases.The period of high incidence of death and readmission in patients with HF within 2 to 3 months after discharge is defined as the"vulnerable period".The management of vulnerable period focuses on how to identify high-risk groups with the need of close follow-up and more active intervention.Despite the application of various effective medical treatment and nursing strategies,readmissions in HF patients remain high,which not only poses a significant financial burden on the healthcare system but also carries the prognostic impact of worsening survival associated with repeated hospitalizations.Remote monitoring is a promising approach for early detection of worsening HF and intervention before apparent decompensation.Remote monitoring includes patient reporting of remote vital signs monitoring,wearable devices,information from cardiac implantable electronic devices and invasive remote hemodynamic monitoring.Remote cardiac monitoring devices have developed rapidly.A wide variety of monitoring devices have been developed,and trials have been conducted to explore the availability and safety of remote monitoring devices and their effectiveness in reducing the risk of HF re-hospitalization.Wearable devices are easy to be accepted by patients because of their non-invasive,portable,cost and other factors.

This case report has described a case of papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct in a young male. This patient was admitted with a mass in the anterior neck for 2 years. Preoperative Bultrasonography, CT and MR showed a subcutaneous cystic mass with irregular calcification shadow in the central region of the neck without obvious enhancement. Initial diagnosis was thyroglossal duct cyst, and was excised by Sistrunk under general anesthesia. The postoperative pathological examination showed thyroglossal duct cyst combined with thyroid papillary carcinoma, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry as thyroglossal duct papillary carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the correlation between social factors and postpartum depression.Methods A total of 182 parturients were investigated with Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)and self-designed questionnaire.The social factors and postpartum depression of parturients were analyzed using univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis.Results Family income,relation of family,relation of couples,sex of newborns and negative life events were associated with the risk of postpartum depression.Conclusions Low family income,bad relation of family,bad relation of couples,female newborns,and negative life events during pregnancy may increase the risk of postpartum depression.
