Quality appraisal of clinical practice guidelines for the management of Dysphagia after acute stroke.

Objectives: Dysphagia is a common complication in stroke patients, widely affecting recovery and quality of life after stroke. The objective of this systematic review is to identify the gaps that between evidence and practice by critically assessing the quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for management of dysphagia in stroke.

Methods: We systematically searched academic databases and guideline repositories between January 1, 2014, and August 1, 2023.

Sampling efficiency of a polyurethane foam air sampler: Effect of temperature.

Effective monitoring of atmospheric concentrations is vital for assessing the Stockholm Convention's effectiveness on persistent organic pollutants (POPs). This task, particularly challenging in polar regions due to low air concentrations and temperature fluctuations, requires robust sampling techniques. Furthermore, the influence of temperature on the sampling efficiency of polyurethane foam discs remains unclear.

Research progress of the POP fugacity model: a bibliometrics-based analysis.

With the emergence of environmental issues regarding persistent organic pollutants (POPs), fugacity models have been widely used in the concentration prediction and exposure assessment of POPs. Based on 778 relevant research articles published between 1979 and 2020 in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), the current research progress of the fugacity model on predicting the fate and transportation of POPs in the environment was analyzed by CiteSpace software. The results showed that the research subject has low interdisciplinarity, mainly involving environmental science and environmental engineering.

Genome Sequence of Sulfide-Dependent Denitrification Bacterium sp. Strain XSG, Isolated from Marine Sediment.

We report the draft genome sequence of sp. strain XSG, isolated from a marine sediment. The genome is 3,047,478 bp long with a GC content of 68.

The characteristics and mixing states of PM during a winter dust storm in Ningbo of the Yangtze River Delta, China.

Dust particulates play an essential role for the nucleation, hygroscopicity and also contribute to aerosol mass. We investigated the chemical composition, size distribution and mixing states of PM using a single-particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SPAMS), Monitor for AeRosols and Gases (MARGA), and off-line membrane sampling from 2018.1.

[The Correlation of Fast-track Extubation Ultrasound Score and Clinical Multi-organ Information Indicators of Postoperative of Cardiac Surgery].

Objective: To evaluate the correlation of Fast-track extubation ultrasound score (FTEUS) and clinical multi-organ information indicators in post-cardiac surgery patients.

Methods: prospectively recruit post-cardiac surgery patients who were about to extubating from Febuary 2019 to September 2019. A fast-track extubation ultrasound score protocol (FTE-USP) was developed on the basis of the conventional fast-track extubation standard precisely and individualized.

Identifying the Pollution Characteristics of Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Associated with Functional Districts in Ningbo, China.

Duplicate polyurethane foam based passive air samplers (PUF-PAS) were deployed at seven sites in Ningbo from November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2015 and were used to analyze 15 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Higher benzo[a]pyrene toxic equivalent concentrations were observed in the industrial areas during wintertime. Correspondence analysis (CA) was used to characterize the PAH congener profiles associated with each functional district and their temporal variations.

Characteristics of pollutant gas releases from swine, dairy, beef, and layer manure, and municipal wastewater.

Knowledge about characteristics of gas releases from various types of organic wastes can assist in developing gas pollution reduction technologies and establishing environmental regulations. Five different organic wastes, i.e.

[Pollutant production and discharge from livestock and poultry industries and land carrying capacity in Zhejiang Province].

Based on the investigation of pollutant production and discharge from a typical scale pig farm in Zhejiang Province at three pig growth stages (piglets, fattening pigs, and sows) in the autumn and winter 2007 and the spring and summer 2008, the coefficients of pollutant production and discharge from the pigs as well as the total annual pollutant production and discharge from the farm were estimated. In the meantime, the annual application amount of animal manure to the farmlands in Zhejiang Province was estimated by using these coefficients and the livestock and poultry inventories in Zhejiang Province in 2007. It was estimated that the total amount of applied animal manure in the Province in 2007 was 2106.
