Objective: To investigate the applicability of a modified verbal learning test redesigned from the memory subtest of the Syndrom Kurztest (SKT) in perioperative cognitive evaluation.

Methods: Patients receiving elective herniorrhaphy and their accompanying family members (set as normal controls), 55-75 years old, were randomly divided into two groups. The two groups received the self-made objects memory test derived from the SKT (SMOT) SMOT or a traditional auditory verbal learning test (AVLT).

Article Synopsis
  • NIID is a complex disease with varying symptoms, making early diagnosis difficult, and PSP-like symptoms had not previously been associated with it.
  • A 58-year-old man initially diagnosed with probable PSP showed symptoms like Parkinsonism and gaze problems, but further testing revealed he actually had NIID due to specific genetic expansions and skin biopsy findings.
  • This case highlights the need for clinicians to consider NIID as a possible diagnosis when faced with PSP-like symptoms, even in the absence of typical imaging indicators.

Identification of critical source areas (CSAs) for non-point source (NPS) pollution is of great significance for environment governance and prevention. However, the CSAs are generally characterized as great spatial dispersion, and spatially heterogeneous precipitation has a great influence on the spatial distribution of nutrient yields. Therefore, we identify the CSAs for nutrient yields in an agricultural watershed of Northeast China at hydrological response units (HRUs) scale based on the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), assess the impacts of spatially heterogeneity of precipitation on the identification of the CSAs, analyze the sensitivity of nutrient yields to precipitation by scenarios analysis method, and further identify priority management areas (PMAs) that have poor ability to retain nutrients.

Article Synopsis
  • Healthy aquatic ecosystems support sustainable human development and are greatly affected by water quality, which impacts macroinvertebrate communities.
  • The study developed a framework to analyze the relationship between macroinvertebrate communities and water quality factors in urban rivers, using the North Canal River in Beijing as a case study.
  • Key findings identified fluoride, biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia-nitrogen, and total phosphorus as crucial water quality factors influencing macroinvertebrate communities, with results indicating generally unhealthy river conditions, especially downstream.
