Research on multi-objective hierarchical site selection coverage of fire station.
PLoS One
December 2024
Shanghai Fire Research Institute Of MEM, Shanghai, China.
The fire station location has essential theoretical and practical values, not only in terms of maintaining the safety of life and property, but also enriching the optimization theory of site selection problems. To study the multi-objective siting problem of fire stations, we firstly divided demand areas and fire stations into three levels to form a comprehensive hierarchical emergency coverage network covering fire risk areas. Secondly, the nodes of the original location of the fire station were added to the set of nodes of the planned construction of the fire station.

However, the evidence for this claim was obtained from studies that included patients with both primary and secondary PPOI. How primary PPOI affects the hospital length of stay (LOS) and healthcare costs is not well documented.

The relationship between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry has evolved significantly over the years, raising concerns about ethical practices in medical prescribing. This article explores the multifaceted influence of pharmaceutical companies on physician behaviour, highlighting how marketing strategies, financial incentives, and promotional activities can compromise the integrity of clinical decision-making. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, the article examines the implications of inculcating ethics in undergraduate medical programmes, so future healthcare professionals understand the importance of making evidence-based decisions.

BMC Vet Res
December 2024
Department of Large Animal Diseases and Clinic, Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Warsaw, 02-787, Poland.
Background: Porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) significantly impacts the swine industry worldwide, leading to economic losses due to poor growth performance, reduced feed efficiency, higher medication costs, and adversely affecting pig welfare by causing clinical symptoms such as fever, cough, loss of appetite, lethargy, and dyspnea. Cranio-ventral pulmonary consolidation (CVPC) and pleuritis are the most frequent macroscopic lung lesions observed in PRDC and are indicators of decreased animal welfare. This study aimed to quantify the effects of CVPC and pleurisy on carcass weight, meatiness, and average daily carcass weight gain (ADCWG) in fattening pigs, thereby assessing their impact on both production and welfare.

JGH Open
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine Zhejiang University Hangzhou China.
Article Synopsis
- Hybrid ESD is a newer technique gaining attention for treating laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) compared to traditional ESD.
- A study analyzed outcomes from 890 patients who underwent ESD, revealing that hybrid ESD resulted in shorter procedure times and lower hospitalization costs but had a lower R0 resection rate.
- For LSTs sized 10-30 mm, hybrid ESD is a viable option that balances cost savings and operative efficiency without sacrificing resection quality.
