Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of early continuous high-volume-hemofiltration in the treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
Methods: Based on the method of prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial, 60 patients with SAP between January 2005 and July 2011 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were divided into control group and hemofiltration group. The hemofiltration group was treated with early continuous high-volume-hemofiltration and not in the control group. The changes of vital signs, clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.
Results: After hemofiltration, the clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, tachycardia and respiratory distress in hemofiltration group were significantly remitted compared to those in the control group (P < 0.05). The APACHEIIscore (13.3 ± 1.0 vs 14.1 ± 1.2) and the level of TBil [(20.4 ± 11.3) µmol/L vs (28.1 ± 10.9) µmol/L], creatinine [(178.7 ± 71.8) µmol/L vs (215.6 ± 51.3) µmol/L], blood urea nitrogen [(10.1 ± 5.6) mmol/L vs (13.2 ± 3.8) mmol/L] and ALT [(51.3 ± 13.2) U/L vs (62.5 ± 14.3) U/L] were decreased compared to those in the control group (all P values < 0.05). The level of PaO2/FiO2 (197.3 ± 32.4 vs 178.3 ± 31.7) was increased (P < 0.05). After hemofiltration, heart rate was decreased gradually (P < 0.05) in the hemofiltration group than in the control group. Mean artery pressure (mAP) increased gradually (P < 0.05) in the hemofiltration group than in the control group.
Conclusion: Early continuous high-volume-hemofiltration has significant effects on the treatment of SAP including the improvement of clinic symptoms, the blockade of development from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), improvement of organ function and prevention from the complications. It may become one of the important therapies for SAP.

Background: Mental health remains among the top 10 leading causes of disease burden globally, and there is a significant treatment gap due to limited resources, stigma, limited accessibility, and low perceived need for treatment. Problem Management Plus, a World Health Organization-endorsed brief psychological intervention for mental health disorders, has been shown to be effective and cost-effective in various countries globally but faces implementation challenges, such as quality control in training, supervision, and delivery. While digital technologies to foster mental health care have the potential to close treatment gaps and address the issues of quality control, their development requires context-specific, interdisciplinary, and participatory approaches to enhance impact and acceptance.

Hydrogels, three-dimensional polymeric networks capable of absorbing and retaining significant amounts of aqueous solution, offer a promising platform for controlled release of desired compounds. In this study, we explored the effects of urea delivery through galactoxyloglucan-sodium alginate hydrogels on the phenotypic and metabolic responses of , a vital oilseed and vegetable crop. The experiments were conducted with four treatments: control (without hydrogel beads and urea), direct urea supplementation (U), hydrogel beads with urea (HBWU), and hydrogel beads without urea (HBWOU).

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).

Importance: Chronic hypertension and preeclampsia are leading risk enhancers for maternal-neonatal morbidity and mortality. Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) indicators include heart, kidney, and liver disease, but studies have not excluded patients with preexisting diseases that define SMM. Thus, SMM risks for uncomplicated chronic hypertension specific to preeclampsia remain unclear.

Importance: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is an uncommon but severe hyperinflammatory illness that occurs 2 to 6 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Presentation overlaps with other conditions, and risk factors for severity differ by patient. Characterizing patterns of MIS-C presentation can guide efforts to reduce misclassification, categorize phenotypes, and identify patients at risk for severe outcomes.
