Objective: To provide evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and management of lower limb ischemia in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients during treatment according to search, evaluate, and summarize the best evidence on the prevention and management of lower limb ischemia in patients with VA-ECMO.
Methods: Based on the PIPOST framework (population, intervention, professional, outcome, setting, and type of evidence), an evidence-based question was formulated. A systematic search was conducted according to the "6S" evidence pyramid model in both domestic and international databases, as well as professional association websites, for all evidence related to the prevention and management of lower limb ischemia in VA-ECMO patients (aged ≥18 years).

Electrode materials are pivotal in fuel cell-based gas sensors, yet conventional Pt-based catalysts often suffer from limitations in electronic structure and stability, restricting the practical application of HS detection. Here, we introduce a Pt catalyst supported by a titanium-tungsten nitride (TiN-WN) composite for an electrochemical HS sensor. Leveraging the multilevel electron transfer of the Pt/TiN-WN composite, this sensor achieves electron accumulation on the Pt surface, yielding enhanced conductivity and abundant active sites for high HS sensitivity.

To this end, an idiodynamic method was applied in this study to understand classroom WTC inspired by complex dynamic systems theory (CDST) on a micro-timescale. The present research investigated how four Chinese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) exhibited WTC dynamics during a group communicative task in a natural classroom environment and what factors were attributed to impacting their WTC dynamics during the task.

With the compelling popularity of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), Wi-Fi sensing has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Starting from 2010, Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI)-based wireless sensing has enabled various exciting applications such as indoor localization, target imaging, activity recognition, and vital sign monitoring. In this paper, we retrospect the latest achievements of Wi-Fi sensing using commodity-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices from the past 5 years in detail.

The rapid development of e-health has provided a favourable platform for managing health-related outcomes in pregnant women, and nurses are the professional group that is most likely to provide e-health services. Nurse-led e-health interventions have attracted increasing attention, but their effects are uncertain.

This study explores the impact of carbon utilization on exopolysaccharide (EPS) production and monosaccharide composition in Ganoderma lucidum, aiming to promote the biosynthesis of polysaccharides with high mannose composition. Sucrose supply significantly increased the mannose proportion to 35.

However, there is a lack of biomonitoring research concerning both urine and blood in population with definite exposure. We performed a biomonitoring study that involved 103 REEs exposed males and 110 males as non-REEs exposed controls.

Background: Mucormycosis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological malignancies, but its characteristics are not fully understood. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of the clinical features of mucormycosis in patients with hematological malignancies in eastern China.
Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted on the demographic profile, microbiology, management, and 90-day mortality of mucormycosis patients with hematological malignancies between 2018 and 2023.
() antisense RNA (AS) is a non-coding RNA that regulates cariogenic virulence and metabolic activity. Dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), a quaternary ammonium methacrylate used in dental materials, has strong antibacterial activity. This study examined the effects of AS on DMAHDM susceptibility and their combined impact on inhibiting biofilm formation and protecting enamel hardness.

Although highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has changed infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from a diagnosis with imminent mortality to a chronic illness, HIV positive patients who do not develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDs) still suffer from a high rate of cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis. Regardless of viral load and CD count, HIV-associated cardiomyopathy (HIVAC) still causes a high rate of mortality and morbidity amongst HIV patients. While this is a well characterized clinical phenomena, the molecular mechanism of HIVAC is not well understood.

This scheme combines amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise, phase modulator (PM), and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to achieve dual masking in both intensity and phase fields, achieving 10Gb/s information transmission. A common-signal-induced method is used to achieve the synchronization of the system.
