Symptom Cluster Assessment Tools for Gastric Cancer Care in China: A Comprehensive Review.

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor, and its incidence rate ranks first among malignant tumors of the digestive tract, seriously endangering human physical and mental health. Changes in the physiological state of gastric cancer patients can bring about many physical and psychological symptoms and have a serious impact on their quality of life. Symptom clusters are 2 or more concurrently occurring and interrelated symptoms, with the core symptoms within the cluster remaining stable over time and the symptoms in the cluster being independent of each other.

Design of a Novel Medical Acoustic Sensor Based on MEMS Bionic Fish Ear Structure.

High-performance medical acoustic sensors are essential in medical equipment and diagnosis. Commercially available medical acoustic sensors are capacitive and piezoelectric types. When they are used to detect heart sound signals, there is attenuation and distortion due to the sound transmission between different media.

Responses of heavy metals mobility and resistant bacteria to adding time of activated carbon during chicken manure composting.

With the wide application of compost in agriculture, heavy metals (HMs) continue to accumulate in the soil environment, which poses a great threat to the health of the soil environment. Therefore, it is critical for effectively reduce the mobility of HMs. In this study, the influence of activated carbon (AC) addition time on mobility of HMs (Cu, Zn and Pb) and HMs resistant bacteria structure were evaluated during chicken manure composting.
