Anti-phasic oscillatory development for speech and noise processing in cochlear implanted toddlers.

Human brain demonstrates amazing readiness for speech and language learning at birth, but the auditory development preceding such readiness remains unknown. Cochlear implanted (CI) children (n = 67; mean age 2.77 year ± 1.

Management of regional citrate anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy: guideline recommendations from Chinese emergency medical doctor consensus.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is widely used for treating critically-ill patients in the emergency department in China. Anticoagulant therapy is needed to prevent clotting in the extracorporeal circulation during CRRT. Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) has been shown to potentially be safer and more effective and is now recommended as the preferred anticoagulant method for CRRT.

Experimental research on rapid removing characteristics of carbon monoxide generated during gas explosions.

A large amount of gas, such as CO, accumulates in a coal mine after an explosion, leading to CO poisoning. In this study, a self-developed platform was used to eliminate CO from coal mines and determine the mass of the rapidly eliminated CO and its concentration in the eliminated gases. Equations were derived to calculate the amount of CO eliminated and the removing rate.

Effect of Sn on the CO Catalytic Activity and Water Resistance of Cu-Mn Catalyst.

In view of the problem that excessive CO in underground coal mine space can easily lead to a large number of casualties, Cu-Mn-Sn water-resistant eliminators with different Sn contents were prepared by a co-precipitation method. The activity of the eliminators was analyzed by using an independently developed activity testing platform, N adsorption and desorption, XRD, SEM, XPS, and FTIR to characterize the activity factors and water resistance. The results showed that Cu-Mn-Sn-20 with 20% Sn content had the highest activity, which was 3.

Experimental Study on the Evolution Trend of the Pore Structure and the Permeability of Coal under Cyclic Loading and Unloading.

In the deep mining process of coal seams, the mechanical environment of the coal body is complex and in the state of cyclic loading and unloading. The change in the stress state leads to the change in the pore characteristics and the permeability. To investigate the effects of cyclic loading and unloading on the pore characteristics and the permeability of coal, the seepage experiment was carried out for the coal samples using the self-developed triaxial permeation instrument.

Study on the Regulatory Effects of GA on Soybean Internode Elongation.

Excessive plant height is an important factor that can lead to lodging, which is closely related to soybean yield. Gibberellins are widely used as plant growth regulators in agricultural production. Gibberellic acid (GA), one of the most effective active gibberellins, has been used to regulate plant height and increase yields.

Association Between Early Stage-Related Factors and Mortality in Patients with Exertional Heat Stroke: A Retrospective Study of 214 Cases.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the factors involved in the early stage of exertional heat stroke (EHS) that are associated with mortality.

Methods: In this retrospective, case-control study, patients from 11 tertiary medical centers in China were enrolled from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2019. Demographic information, underlying diseases, ambient temperature, and relative humidity, clinical manifestations, initial body temperature, time from onset to diagnosis of EHS (including suspected), and the duration of body temperature > 38°C of all enrolled patients were recorded.

The Neural Processing of Vocal Emotion After Hearing Reconstruction in Prelingual Deaf Children: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Brain Imaging Study.

As elucidated by prior research, children with hearing loss have impaired vocal emotion recognition compared with their normal-hearing peers. Cochlear implants (CIs) have achieved significant success in facilitating hearing and speech abilities for people with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. However, due to the current limitations in neuroimaging tools, existing research has been unable to detail the neural processing for perception and the recognition of vocal emotions during early stage CI use in infant and toddler CI users (ITCI).

Removal of CO Generated by a Gas Explosion Using a Cu-Mn Elimination Agent.

Addressing the issue of suffocation and casualties caused by a large amount of poisonous CO gas generated after a gas explosion, research involving an experimental system for the removal of CO using a Cu-Mn elimination agent was studied. The influence of O concentration, temperature, and CO concentration on the elimination performance of the agent after a gas explosion was studied. The quantitative relationship between the amount of CO eliminated, the elimination rate, the O concentration, and temperature was analyzed.

The Relationship Between 24-Hour Indicators and Mortality in Patients with Exertional Heat Stroke.

Background: Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a life-threatening illness that can lead to multiple organ damage in the early stage.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between 24-hour indicators and mortality in patients with EHS.

Methods: The records of EHS patients hospitalized were collected and divided into the death group and the survival group.
