Acute pancreatitis (AP), a condition marked by its swift progression, substantial individual discrepancies, and profound concealment, poses a formidable challenge. Within its severe form, known as severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), the disease assumes an even more prevalent status, often entwined with dire complications such as pancreatic abscess, circulatory shock, and the direst of all, multiple organ failure. Regrettably, the conjunction of SAP with gastric mucosal exfoliation culminating in massive hemorrhage remains an exceptionally rare phenomenon within the clinical realm.

Background: Weighted blanket is an emerging non-pharmacotherapy for sleep disorders, but its effect on sleep among relatively healthy adults with insomnia remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate whether weighted blankets could better improve sleep quality and sleep-related symptoms among adults with insomnia.

Methods: In a prospective, pilot randomized controlled trial conducted in three tertiary hospitals in China, participants with clinical insomnia were randomized (1:1) to receive weighted blanket intervention or normal blanket intervention for 1 month by random-number tables.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the effectiveness of 0.05% atropine eyedrops in slowing myopia progression in children, focusing on how different application frequencies affect peripheral refraction (PR).
  • One hundred thirty-eight myopic children were assigned to groups based on the frequency of atropine usage: daily, twice per week, or once a week, with measurements taken over one year to assess changes in spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL).
  • Results showed that daily use (7/7) led to the slowest myopia progression and demonstrated a myopic shift in PR, whereas the once-a-week group (1/7) experienced more significant myopia progression and different shifts in relative peripheral refraction across the retina.

Antimicrobial phototherapy has gained recognition as a promising approach for addressing bacterial biofilms, however, its effectiveness is often impeded by the robust physical and chemical defenses of the biofilms. Traditional antibacterial nanoplatforms face challenges in breaching the extracellular polymeric substances barrier to efficiently deliver photosensitizers deep into biofilms. Moreover, the prevalent hypoxia within biofilms restricts the success of oxygen-reliant phototherapy.

Quantifying terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) and soil moisture dynamics accurately is crucial for understanding the global water cycle and surface energy balance. We present a novel, long-term dataset of global ET and soil moisture derived from the newly developed Simple Terrestrial Hydrosphere model, version 2 (SiTHv2). This ecohydrological model, driven by multi-source satellite observations and hydrometeorological variables from reanalysis data, provides daily global ET-related estimates (e.

Photocatalysis offers a direct, yet robust, approach to eradicate pathogenic bacteria. However, the practical implementation of photocatalytic disinfection faces a significant challenge due to low-efficiency photogenerated carrier separation and transfer. Here, we present an effective approach to improve photocatalytic disinfection performance by exploiting the pyro-phototronic effect through a synergistic combination of pyroelectric properties and photocatalytic processes.

  • The study examined how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impacts anxiety after a stroke in patients who had noncardiogenic ischemic strokes.
  • The research included 180 patients, analyzing their sleep patterns and anxiety levels using various psychological assessments during both the acute phase and six months post-stroke.
  • Findings indicated that severe OSA was linked to increased anxiety shortly after the stroke, while anxiety levels at six months were more influenced by initial anxiety and cognitive status rather than OSA.

With the widespread prevalence of drug-resistant pathogens, traditional antibiotics have limited effectiveness and do not yield the desired outcomes. Recently, alternative antibacterial therapies based on ultrasound (US) have been explored to overcome the crisis of bacterial pathogens. Antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy (aSDT) offers an excellent solution that relies on US irradiation to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and achieve antibiotic-free mediated antimicrobial effects.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of lung ultrasound score (LUS) combined with central venous oxygen saturation variations (ΔScvO) in the outcome of ventilator weaning in patients after thoracic surgery.

Methods: The clinical data of 60 patients who received tracheal intubation ventilator-assisted breathing after thoracic surgery were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into successful (n = 35) and failed (n = 25) groups according to the postoperative weaning outcomes. The factors influencing the failure of weaning in patients after thoracic surgery were compared and analyzed, and the values of LUS, ΔScvO as well as the combination of both were calculated to predict the failure of weaning in patients after thoracic surgery.
