Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in obstetrical patients: a meta-analysis.

Critically acute and ill and Obstetrical patients constitute a unique clinical population with a high mortality rate. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is gradually being used in obstetrical acute and critically ill patients and has shown great advantages. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese CNKI Database, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched from the earliest available date to March 15, 2024, to obtain relevant studies on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in obstetric patients.

Aspirin in Patients with Viral Hepatitis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a disease demonstrating increasing morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Studies have shown that aspirin can reduce the incidence of liver cancer; however, the degree of benefit in patients with viral hepatitis is unclear. This study focused on the association between aspirin use and HCC risk in patients with chronic viral hepatitis.

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing for complex detection: a meta-analysis.

Objective: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has been gradually applied to the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) due to its rapid and highly sensitive characteristics. Despite numerous studies on this subject, their results vary significantly. Thus, the current meta-analysis was performed to assess the performance of the mNGS on tuberculosis.

Prevalence of malnutrition based on global leadership initiative in malnutrition criteria for completeness of diagnosis and future risk of malnutrition based on current malnutrition diagnosis: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The proposal of the global leadership initiative in malnutrition (GLIM) criteria has received great attention from clinicians. The criteria are mainly used in the research environment and have the potential to be widely used in the clinic in the future. However, the prevalence of malnutrition and risk of future malnutrition based on a current diagnosis of malnutrition are worth exploring.

Hypothermia may reduce mortality and improve neurologic outcomes in adult patients treated with VA-ECMO: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: VA-ECMO can greatly reduce mortality in critically ill patients, and hypothermia attenuates the deleterious effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury. We aimed to study the effects of hypothermia on mortality and neurological outcomes in VA-ECMO patients.

Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases was performed from the earliest available date to 31 December 2022.

A Trajectory Collaboration Based Map Matching Approach for Low-Sampling-Rate GPS Trajectories.

GPS (Global Positioning System) trajectories with low sampling rates are prevalent in many applications. However, current map matching methods do not perform well for low-sampling-rate GPS trajectories due to the large uncertainty between consecutive GPS points. In this paper, a collaborative map matching method (CMM) is proposed for low-sampling-rate GPS trajectories.

Factor diagnosis and future governance of dangerous goods accidents in China's ports.

Dangerous goods are particularly hazardous, as they can be flammable, explosive, and toxic. These characteristics make them vulnerable to accidents, and such mishaps during port operations can lead to massive economic losses and even deaths. It is, therefore, necessary and important to analyze and study the dangerous goods accidents at ports, so as to identify major factors and prevent them.

Isocoumarin derivatives and benzofurans from a sponge-derived Penicillium sp. fungus.

Ten new fungal metabolites, including three hydroisocoumarins, penicimarins A-C (1-3), three isocoumarins, penicimarins D-F (6-8), and four benzofurans, penicifurans A-D (11-14), together with four known isocoumarin derivatives (4, 5, 9, 10), were obtained from the sponge-derived fungus Penicillium sp. MWZ14-4, collected from the South China Sea. Their planar structures and relative configurations were elucidated by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data and by comparison with related known compounds.
