Accurate urine sodium measurements at home using Point of Care Testing in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome.

Clin Nutr ESPEN

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Intestinal Failure Unit, Radboud University Medical Centre Nijmegen, Geert Grooteplein 10, 6500 HB, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Electronic address:

Background And Aims: Measurement of the urine sodium concentration (USC) is a simple procedure that in many patients adequately indicates their hydration status. This is of particular importance in patients suffering from short bowel syndrome (SBS), who may very rapidly dehydrate and are at risk for permanently compromising their kidney function. A point of care test (POCT) that allows reliable measurement of USC would enable these patients to effectively evaluate their sodium- and water balance in the at home setting, thereby avoiding hospital visits and delayed test results.

Sarcopenia, an age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, is increasingly recognized as a significant condition in the aging population, particularly among those with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the interplay between sarcopenia and cardiogeriatrics, emphasizing shared mechanisms such as chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging), hormonal dysregulation, oxidative stress, and physical inactivity. Despite advancements in diagnostic frameworks, such as the EWGSOP2 and AWGS definitions, variability in criteria and assessment methods continues to challenge standardization.

Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Rolling Bearings Based on CBAM-CNN-LSTM.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Changchun University, Changchun 130022, China.

Predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is vital for ensuring the reliability and safety of equipment and components. This study introduces a novel method for predicting RUL that utilizes the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to address the problem that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) do not effectively leverage data channel features and spatial features in residual life prediction. Firstly, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is applied to convert the data into the frequency domain.

Abnormal Operation Detection of Automated Orchard Irrigation System Actuators by Power Consumption Level.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Agricultural Machinery Engineering, Graduate School, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Republic of Korea.

Information and communication technology (ICT) components, especially actuators in automated irrigation systems, are essential for managing precise irrigation and optimal soil moisture, enhancing orchard growth and yield. However, actuator malfunctions can lead to inefficient irrigation, resulting in water imbalances that impact crop health and reduce productivity. The objective of this study was to develop a signal processing technique to detect potential malfunctions based on the power consumption level and operating status of actuators for an automated orchard irrigation system.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in echocardiography represents a transformative advancement in cardiology, addressing longstanding challenges in cardiac diagnostics. Echocardiography has traditionally been limited by operator-dependent variability and subjective interpretation, which impact diagnostic reliability. This study evaluates the role of AI, particularly machine learning (ML), in enhancing the accuracy and consistency of echocardiographic image analysis and its potential to complement clinical expertise.
