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.

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.

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.

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.
