Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on developing a predictive model for postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in patients with herpes zoster (HZ) due to the lack of existing practical models.
  • It involved 174 patients at a Pain Management department in Beijing, identifying risk factors like age, gender, pain severity, and rash size through a 3-month follow-up.
  • The final model showed high accuracy in predicting PHN, with a ROC curve area of 0.81, demonstrating effectiveness in estimating risk based on identified predictors.

By collecting water and sediment samples from Yangzonghai Lake and analyzing the total amount and speciation of arsenic, the spatial distribution of arsenic in surface water and sediments was analyzed, the current status of arsenic pollution were estimated, the anthropogenic contribution rate and the arsenic reserve in the lake were calculated respectively. Meanwhile, the sources of arsenic were investigated. The results indicated that the total arsenic content in Yangzonghai Lake was 71.
