Intelligence data acquisition based on embedded system in Chinese cuisine cooker (CCICR V1.0).

The Chinese cooking process, intricate and diverse, encompasses a wide range of dishes, generating substantial data that often poses significant challenges for automation. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a versatile, highly reliable, user-friendly, and intelligent data recorder specifically designed for Chinese cuisine-the Chinese Cuisine Intelligent Cooker Recorder-V1.0 (CCICR-V1.

A prospective single-arm study on the efficacy and safety of short-course oral corticosteroids followed by topical corticosteroids in patients with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Background: Little evidence exists regarding an integrated multidimensional evaluation methodology to analyze the within-patient effects of medical treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We aimed to use an integrated evaluation model to analyze the effects of short-course oral corticosteroid (OCS) followed by intranasal corticosteroid spray (INCS) therapy in patients with severe CRSwNP.

Methods: In all, 32 patients with severe CRSwNP received oral methylprednisolone for three weeks followed by intranasal budesonide spray for nine weeks in this prospective single-arm study.

Identification of multiple isoforms of glucocorticoid receptor in nasal polyps of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Background: The conventional belief that glucocorticosteroid (GC) acts through a single brand glucocorticoid receptor (GR)α protein has changed dramatically with the discovery of multiple GR isoforms. We aimed to evaluate whether multiple GR protein isoforms are expressed in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and whether GR protein isoform expression profiles differ between different endotypes of CRSwNP.

Methods: Thirty-eight patients with CRSwNP and ten healthy volunteers were included.

Pronounced Dead Twice: What Should an Attending Physician Do in Between?

BACKGROUND Organ donation after cardiac death (DCD) is a well-accepted practice in the medical, philosophical, and legal fields. It is important to determine the amount of time required for the loss of circulation to lead to irreversible brain loss, and ultimately brain death. CASE REPORT We report a rare case of organ donation after cardiac death.

Sinonasal manifestations and dynamic profile of RT-PCR results for SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients.

Background: Sinonasal symptoms were usually reported to appear initially, yielding the symptoms important for the early detection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study was conducted retrospectively to investigate the detailed sinonasal manifestations and dynamic profile of real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in COVID-19 patients longitudinally.

Methods: This retrospective study included 11 consecutive patients.

Neonate Death Due to Marijuana Toxicity to the Liver and Adrenals.

BACKGROUND Marijuana is the considered the most widely available and used drug across the world. Up to this time, there have been no reports of human death directly caused by acute marijuana toxicity in adults, fetuses, or newborn neonates. CASE REPORT We report a death of an 11-day-old white female neonate due to acute marijuana toxicity.

Hemorrhagic Infarction of Cerebellum and Brainstem Due to Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection - Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Radiculopathy is a painful condition usually due to a compressed nerve in the spine. It is reported that cervical radiculopathy has an annual incidence of 83.2 cases per 100 000 people.

Accidental Finding of Atherosclerosis with 90% Stenosis of the Coronary Artery In a 17-Year-Old White Male.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, though no case reports of teenage deaths due to the disease were found after extensive literary research. A case is presented of a 17-year-old male driver involved in a motor vehicle collision. Autopsy examination revealed multiple blunt force injuries.

Otorhinolaryngological profile and surgical intervention in patients with HIV/AIDS.

Little is known about the diagnosis and surgical management of head and neck conditions in patients with HIV/AIDS. This study was conducted to characterize the otorhinolaryngological (ORL) profiles, surgical interventions and outcomes in patients with HIV/AIDS. This retrospective study included patients with HIV/AIDS who underwent head and neck surgeries at You'an Hospital from November 2009 to February 2017.

The effectiveness of lamivudine in preventing hepatitis B viral reactivation in rituximab-containing regimen for lymphoma.

In rituximab-containing regimen for lymphoma, the role of lamivudine therapy has not been well established. Therefore, in this nonrandomized phase II clinical study, hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers with B-cell lymphoma who received rituximab-containing regimen were treated with oral administration of lamivudine. The incidence and severity of hepatitis along with other adverse clinical outcomes were analyzed.

Combined shock-wave and immunogene therapy of mouse melanoma and renal carcinoma tumors.

The effects of ultrasonic shock waves (SW), recombinant interleukin-12 (rIL-12) protein and DNA plasmids coding for interleukin-12 (pIL-12) were investigated on progression of mouse B16 melanoma and RENCA renal carcinoma tumors. Tumor cells were implanted and grown on the hind legs of syngeneic mice. Before treatment, mice were anesthetized and the tumor region was shaved and depilated.
