Purpose: To investigate the use of a head-fixed feedback sensor to improve good positioning times after macular hole or retinal detachment surgery. The instructional methods, macular hole closure rates, and questionnaire responses were also evaluated.
Methods: After randomization, sensor devices with different feedback types (none/acoustic/vibration) were fixed on the patients' heads. Two positioning recommendations (verbal/illustrated) were used. The posturing data were logged every 500 ms for 24 hours.
Results: Forty-eight data sets (24 per group) were evaluated. Using sensory feedback, the median time for face-down positioning after macular hole surgery (Group 1) was significantly boosted from 463 minutes (range: 61-1,168) to 1,257 minutes (range: 1,024-1,327). The side positioning time after retinal detachment surgery (Group 2) increased from a median of 1,032 minutes (range: 520-1,165) to 1,284 minutes (range: 1,231-1,437). The night-time alarm records were reduced; however, the instructional methods exhibited no noteworthy effects. The questionnaires indicated positive acceptance of the sensors.
Conclusion: Sensory feedback may help in cases where face-down or side positioning is recommended. These constant reminders were superior to verbal or written reminders; however, further studies are required to assess the clinical impact of sensory feedback on patient positioning.

In order to achieve high quality production of vitamin E and plant sterols, it is necessary to conduct rapid and accurate detection of fungal toxins in their production raw material (vegetable oil deodorizer distillate, VODD). In this study, the flower-like biomimetic enzyme of silver-doped ZnO was synthesized through wet chemical method and in-situ reduction method. Based on above work, a flower-like biomimetic enzyme modified glass carbon electrode was fabricated, and its excellent detection capability against fungal toxins zearalenone was confirmed through electrochemical analysis.

The existence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in agricultural products poses significant threats to human health and environment, underscoring the critical need for its prompt and precise quantification. A particle counting immunosensor for the highly sensitive detection of OTA was presented, employing SiO@CuO nanoparticles to facilitate click chemistry. The quantity of SiO@CuO nanoparticles, and consequently the Cu²⁺ concentration, can be directly altered through the immune response involving OTA.

Background: Telestroke assessments are widely used to remotely assess adults with suspected stroke, although they have not been studied in children. SPOT, the Study of Performing the PedNIHSS Over Televideo, tested the feasibility of assessing the Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS) by televideo in children.
Methods: Children aged 2 to 17 years with and without strokes were recruited and examined in the outpatient neurology clinic.
