Local environment perceived in daily life and urban green and blue space visits: Uncovering key factors for different age groups to access ecosystem services.

Inequality in access to green and blue spaces is a major issue in the field of environmental justice. Various factors significantly influence visitations to these spaces, including residential, commuting, and shopping areas. However, studies have mainly focused on residential environments.

Evaluation of the Noninvasive Estimated Continuous Cardiac Output System for Pediatric Patients: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: The estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) system is a hemodynamic monitor that uses electrocardiograms and pulse oximeter waves to noninvasively estimate cardiac output. The coefficients for esCCO measurement have been established for adult patients, but the appropriate coefficients for pediatric patients are unclear. Therefore, this study determined esCCO coefficients for pediatric patients and validated the accuracy and tracking ability of a modified esCCO system.

Accuracy of non-invasive core temperature monitoring in infant and toddler patients: a prospective observational study.

Purpose: Careful perioperative temperature management is important because it influences clinical outcomes. In pediatric patients, the esophageal temperature is the most accurate indicator of core temperature. However, it requires probe insertion into the body cavity, which is mildly invasive.

Quantification of full and empty particles of adeno-associated virus vectors via a novel dual fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay.

The adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector is one of the most advanced platforms for gene therapy because of its low immunogenicity and non-pathogenicity. The concentrations of both AAV vector empty particles, which do not contain DNA and do not show any efficacy, and AAV vector full particles (FPs), which contain DNA, are important quality attributes. In this study, a dual fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (dFLISA), which uses two fluorescent dyes to quantify capsid and genome titers in a single analysis, was established.

X-ray Pelvimetry Has No Impact on the Outcomes of Trial of Labor after Cesarean Delivery: A Retrospective Single-center Study.

Few studies have examined the relationship between pelvic size and the success or failure of trial of labor after cesarean delivery (TOLAC). Here we aimed to determine whether pelvic size and morphological data obtained from radiography contribute to the first successful TOLAC. This retrospective single-center observational study enrolled pregnant women who underwent TOLAC between 2010 and 2021.
