Experiments with adult (8-10 months) and old (24-26 months) male rats were carried out to investigate the effect of stress on the values of central hemodynamics and inotropic cardiac function--stroke volume, minute volume, stroke index, as well as output volume rate, output volume rate index and systolic frequency. It is found that stress causes more significant disturbance of inotropic function in old rats as compared with adult animals. This disorder occurs earlier in old rats. Probably it is a result of more pronounced damaging effect of the stress on the myocardium of old rats against the background of decreased compensatory systemic abilities.

Individualized blood pressure regulation and acute kidney injury in older patients having major abdominal surgery: a pilot randomized trial.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication, and hypotension may contribute. We therefore tested the primary hypothesis that individualized intraoperative blood pressure regulation reduces postoperative AKI in older surgical patients.
Methods: We enrolled patients ≥60 years old scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery with invasive arterial pressure monitoring.
Accuracy of nursing diagnoses identified at admission and discharge of patients with decompensated heart failure.
Int J Nurs Knowl

Paulista Nursing School, Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, São Paulo, Brasil.
Purpose: To determine the accuracy of nursing diagnoses at hospital admission and discharge for patients with heart failure (HF).
Methods: This comparative study examined the documentation in 155 medical records of patients with an admitting diagnosis of HF during August 2018 and July 2019. An audit tool was used to record the diagnoses made by nurses during routine care at the time of admission and discharge.
Event cameras only report changes in brightness when thresholds in individual pixels relative to previous levels are crossed. They output sparse streams of events that quantify these changes spatially and temporally. We have developed a measurement system using two event cameras in a stereo configuration with a specialized projector for 3D measurements of static objects.

AVT - Biochemical Engineering, RWTH Aachen University, Forckenbeckstr. 51, D-52074, Aachen, Germany.
Background: Shake flasks are essential tools in biotechnological development due to their cost efficiency and ease of use. However, a significant challenge is the miniaturization of process analytical tools to maximize information output from each cultivation. This study aimed to develop a respiration activity online measurement system via off-gas analysis, named "Transfer rate Online Measurement" (TOM), for determining the oxygen transfer rate (OTR), carbon dioxide transfer rate (CTR), and the respiration quotient (RQ) in surface-aerated bioreactors, primarily targeting shake flasks.

Lymphadenopathy is associated with lymph node abnormal size or consistency due to many causes. We employed the deep convolutional neural network ResNet-34 to detect and classify CT images from patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy and healthy controls. We created a single database containing 1400 source CT images for patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy (n = 700) and healthy controls (n = 700).
