Research on an Active Hydrogen Maser Digital Circuit Control System Based on FPGA.

A hydrogen maser is a high-precision time measurement instrument with high frequency stability and low frequency drift, which is widely used in satellite navigation, ground time keeping, frequency measurement, and other fields. An active hydrogen maser (AHM) is better than the current space passive hydrogen maser (PHM) in orbit in terms of its frequency stability and drift rate, but it has the disadvantages of large volume and weight. To further reduce the volume and weight of the circuit, this paper demonstrates a digital circuit control system based on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA).

Value of electrophysiological indicators in differential diagnosis of parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy.

Background: We evaluated the value of electrophysiological indicators by external anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG), sympathetic skin response (SSR), R-R interval variation (RRIV), and Bulbocavernosus Reflex (BCR) in differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: A total of 41 patients with MSA and 32 patients with PD were enrolled. The electrophysiological changes of autonomic dysfunction were assessed with BCR, EAS-EMG, SSR, and RRIV, and the abnormal rate of each indicator was calculated.

Effects of low-dose furosemide combined with aminophylline on the renal function in septic shock patients.

Background: To investigate the effects of low-dose furosemide and aminophylline on the renal function in patients with septic shock.

Methods And Results: A total of 109 eligible septic shock patients in the intensive care unit were randomly divided into a control group ( = 55) and an intervention group ( = 54). The control group received normal saline, and the intervention group received low-dose furosemide (0.

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as Potential Predictors of Prognosis in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been emerging as the novel inflammatory biomarkers for determining the prognosis of various diseases. This study aimed to investigate the individual and joint effects of NLR and PLR on functional outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Our study involved 448 eligible patients with first-ever AIS.

Circulating Neutrophil-Derived Microparticles Associated with the Prognosis of Patients with Sepsis.

Introduction: Because of its high morbidity and mortality, sepsis remains the leading cause of death in the ICU. Microparticles (MP) have been largely studied as potential diagnostic or prognostic markers in various diseases including sepsis.

Objective: The biological and clinical relevance of neutrophil-derived microparticles (NDMPs) within the MP population remains unclear.

Application of bulbocavernosus reflex combined with anal sphincter electromyography in the diagnosis of MSA and PD.

Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are characterized by abnormal changes in the extrapyramidal system and autonomic nervous system. The two diseases are consistent in some clinical manifestations and few objective indicators for preclinical prediction.

Method: The value of anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG) in the diagnosis of MSA has been recognized by researchers, while the bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) has been found to be of great significance in the diagnosis of PD and MSA.

A comparison of contrast transthoracic echocardiography and contrast transcranial Doppler in cryptogenic stroke patients with patent foramen ovale.

Objective: In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to cryptogenic stroke (CS) caused by the patent foramen ovale (PFO). This study aims to compare contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) and contrast transcranial Doppler (cTCD) to determine whether cTTE is more suitable and reliable than cTCD for clinical use.

Methods: From March 2017 to May 2018, patients who suffered from migraines, stroke, hypomnesis, or asymptomatic stroke found casually were included in our study.

Platelet-to-neutrophil ratio is a prognostic marker for 90-days outcome in acute ischemic stroke.

To investigate the prognostic value of platelet-to-neutrophil ratio (PNR) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. In this study, a total of 400 AIS patients were included. Demographic, clinical, laboratory data were collected on admission, and PNR was calculated according to platelet and neutrophil counts on admission.

Correlation of Changes in Leukocytes Levels 24 Hours after Intravenous Thrombolysis With Prognosis in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Objective: Leukocytes play a crucial role in inflammation and immune response. This study aims to demonstrate the value of changes in leukocytes levels 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis to predict prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: From Jan 2016 to Oct 2017, the patients who suffered AIS to our center within 4.
