Background: A meta-analysis was carried out to study the effect of intracranial pressure monitoring on the prognosis of severe craniocerebral injury and to provide reference for treating craniocerebral diseases.
Methods: A Boolean logic search method was adopted, and "intracranial pressure monitoring", "craniocerebral injury", "prognosis", and "brain injury" were set as search terms. The literature searched included PubMed, Medline, and the China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), and literature that set non-intracranial pressure monitoring as a control for comparative research was screened. RevMan was then employed to perform the meta-analysis.
Results: 13 studies were included, most of which were of medium and high quality (low-risk bias). The results showed that no heterogeneous in-hospital mortality was found between groups (χ2=0.76, I2=0%, P=0.98) and the hospital mortality of experimental group was dramatically inferior to control (ctrl) group (Z=3.69, P=0.0002). Heterogeneity was found in the probability of favorable functional prognosis between groups (χ2=8.01, I2=50%, P=0.09) and the probability of favorable functional prognosis in experimental group was remarkably superior to that in ctrl group (Z=2.48, P=0.01). Incidence of renal failure was not heterogeneous between groups (χ2=3.17, I2=0%, P=0.53) and the incidence of renal failure in experimental group was notably inferior to ctrl group (Z=2.71, P=0.007). Finally, the incidence of lung infection in the two groups was heterogeneous (χ2=6.35, I2=37%, P=0.17) and incidence of lung infection in experimental group was dramatically lower versus ctrl group (Z=2.13, P=0.03).
Discussion: Our results showed Intracranial pressure monitoring can effectively reduce in-hospital mortality and the incidence of infection in patients with severe craniocerebral damage and enhance the functional prognosis of patients. Due to the inclusion criteria imposed in this study, the number of included articles was limited, and in future analyses the sample size should be increased to prevent bias.

Pressure Sensor Array Based on Four DNA-Nanoenzymes with Catalase-like Activity for Portable Multiple Detection of Foodborne Pathogens.

This study has developed a pressure sensor array based on four functionalized DNA-nanoenzymes with catalase-like activity for multiple detections of foodborne pathogens through a portable pressure manometer. Benefiting from functionalization of 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid and β-mercaptoethylamine, the diversity of nonspecific interactions between four DNA-nanoenzymes and each of the nine bacteria leads to differences in pressure response patterns by catalyzing HO to generate exclusive "fingerprints". As effective statistical tools for processing multivariate data, principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis are employed to identify nine foodborne pathogens by analyzing pressure response patterns.

Background: Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has been evaluated in COPD, but with varying results. We aimed to evaluate whether a tablet system that monitors disease-related parameters in patients with COPD could influence physical and mental health-related quality of life, compared with usual care (UC).
Methods: 70 patients with Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) group D COPD (61% women, aged 71±8 years, forced expiratory volume in 1 s % predicted 41±13%, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) 19±7 points) were recruited at the COPD centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, and randomised to a tablet-based RPM system or UC for a 26-week period, after which they crossed over to the alternative management for another 26 weeks.

Industrial Design Engineering, Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is a treatment that promotes healing of chronic wounds. Despite high prevalence of chronic wounds in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), NPWT devices are not available nor affordable. This study aims to improve chronic wound care in LMICs by presenting the Wound Care (WOCA) system, designed for building, testing and use in LMICs.

In order to solve the engineering problem of a large amount of wind leakage in the 8106 comprehensive mining working face of the Carboniferous System under the influence of overlapping mining of two coal seams in Yongdingzhuang Mine, Datong Mining Area, this paper utilizes finite element numerical simulation software to study the wind leakage characteristics of the 8106 working face and the distribution range of the spontaneous combustion "three zones" of the mining area. The results show that, under the condition of external air leakage, the internal pressure of the goaf is greater than the external pressure, the upper pressure is greater than the lower pressure, and the seepage direction is from the top down and from the inside out. Under the condition of no external air leakage, the air leakage source is mainly concentrated in the air inlet lane.
