Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) represents a prevalent and noteworthy complication in the context of pediatric surgical interventions. In recent times, a hypothesis has emerged positing that cerebral ischemia and regional cerebral oxygen desaturation might serve as potential catalysts in the pathogenesis of POD. The primary aim of this study was to methodically examine the potential relationship between POD and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO) and to assess the predictive and evaluative utility of rSO in the context of POD.

Cotton fabric is extensively utilized due to its numerous applications, but the flammability associated with cotton fabric poses potential security risks to individuals. A halogen-free efficient flame retardant named poly [(tetramethylcyclosiloxyl spirocyclic pentaerythritol)-piperazin phosphate] (PCPNTSi) was developed to consolidate the fire retardance of cotton fabrics. After PCPNTSi treatment, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of cotton fabric with 30 % weight gain (CP3) was raised to 32.

With the advantages of large field of view, low cost and simple structure, the freeform optical system has extensive requirements in space exploration and other fields. However, the current machining methods for freeform are difficult to meet the requirements of optical use. Based on a developed fast servo tool (FTS) device, this paper proposes an error compensation turning method for freeforms.

The fast tool servo (FTS) technology has unique advantages in the machining of complex surfaces such as special-shaped targets and free-form surfaces. In view of the shortcomings in the performance of the existing FTS device, this paper puts forward a novel FTS which uses two piezoelectric ceramics instead of flexure hinges to provide restoring force. Firstly, the feasibility of the double-drive principle is verified theoretically, and the corresponding mechanism is optimized accordingly.

The sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has deep and wide negative mental impacts on the public, and studies on the impact of COVID-19 on social and mental well-being are necessary. This study aimed to evaluate mental distress, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and its related risk factors in Chinese adults in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used a large-scale cross-sectional design.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pediatric surgical nurses about enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS).
  • Researchers conducted a cross-sectional survey with 34 questions distributed electronically to 855 nurses across 22 hospitals in China from February to April 2021.
  • Findings indicated that there's significant room for improvement in nurses' knowledge about postoperative recovery and preoperative preparation, influenced by factors like education level, years of experience, hospital type, and regional differences.

Aim: This study aimed to explore how different dimensions of caregivers' reaction shape their caring experience, and the factors associated with different reaction patterns.

Design: A second analysis of a multisite cross-sectional study were conducted. Caregivers of children with imperforate anus (IA) were enrolled in three tertiary children's hospitals in Eastern China between November 2018 and February 2019.

Postoperative delirium is a serious complication that relates to poor outcomes. A risk prediction model could help the staff screen for children at high risk for postoperative delirium. Our study aimed to establish a postoperative delirium prediction model for pediatric patients and to verify the sensitivity and specificity of this model.

Background: To improve nursing quality and safety, it is essential to better understand relationships between sleep quality, mindfulness, and work-family conflict among nurses.

Purpose: To examine the relationships among sleep quality, mindfulness and work-family conflict, and the mediating effect of mindfulness.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using survey data from five comprehensive tertiary first-class hospitals in Xiamen.
