Objectives: Our study aims to investigate the safety and efficiency of the Codonics Safe Label System (SLS) in a prospective simulation study.
Methods: Three sets of simulated experiments involving 82 anesthetists were carried out on patient simulator mannequins. The primary outcome assessed through the simulated experiments was the effectiveness of the SLS in avoiding vial swap errors. Secondary outcomes analyzed included the efficacy of the SLS in preventing syringe swap and the difference in time taken to prepare standardized drugs as compared with conventional methods.
Results: The SLS was associated with a significant reduction in all 4 stages of vial swap error. The incidence of wrong ampoule breakage was significantly lower in the SLS group compared with the conventional group (12.1% versus 38.5%, P = 0.007). The number of staff who drew the wrong ampoule was similarly lower in the SLS group compared with the conventional group (4.9% versus 33.3%, P = 0.001). The proportions of staff who eventually wrongly labeled the loaded syringe were 0% in the SLS group and 17.9% in the conventional group (P = 0.005).Drug preparation time was longer for the SLS group than for the conventional group (239.6 ± 45.9 versus 160.3 ± 46.5 seconds, P < 0.001).There was no significant difference in the incidence of syringe swap with the use of the SLS.
Conclusions: The use of the SLS is effective in reducing vial swap error, but not syringe swap errors, and is associated with increased time taken for anesthetic drug preparation.

Comparative study on lake ice phenology changes and driving factors in large lakes of mid-latitude Xinjiang, China.

College of Geographic Science and Tourism, Xinjiang Normal University, Urumqi, 830017, China. Electronic address:
The changes in lake ice phenology (LIP) can intuitively reflect the climate evolution in the regions where lakes are located, serving as an important indicator of climate change. The Tianshan Mountains, situated at the southern edge of freezing lakes in the Northern Hemisphere, are a crucial water resource base in Xinjiang and support significant ecosystems closely related to human activities. In the context of intensified climate change, this study focuses on the geographical location, altitude, and water quality differences among large lake groups in the mid-latitude region of Xinjiang, aiming to explore the characteristics of LIP changes in these lakes and their responses to driving factors, thereby providing a basis for effective environmental management and protection.

: Lichen Sclerosus (LSc) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition predominantly affecting the anogenital regions, with a well-recognised potential for malignancy. This study examines the incidence, demographic characteristics, and regional distribution of LSc in Sweden over a 20-year period. The analysis is based on data from the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR), with a focus on cases diagnosed in specialist care settings.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the molecular pathological mechanisms of the liver in metabolic disease-susceptible transgenic pigs via multiomics analysis.
Materials And Methods: The triple-transgenic (PNPLA3-GIPR-hIAPP) pig model (TG pig) was successfully constructed in our laboratory via the CRISPR/Cas9 technique previously described. Wild-type (WT) pigs and TG pigs after 2 or 12 months of high-fat and high-sucrose diet (HFHSD) induction (WT2, TG2, WT12, and TG12 groups, respectively) were used as materials.

Strigolactones (SLs) are apocarotenoid plant hormones that regulate shoot branching. The natural SLs can be divided into two groups, canonical and non-canonical SLs according to those chemical structures. In a model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, it has been thought to produce only non-canonical SLs.

Article Synopsis
- FSHD is a genetic muscle disorder that can start in childhood, affecting about 20% of patients early on. Understanding its progression and outcomes is important for care and research.
- A study followed 20 childhood-onset FSHD patients over 5 years, assessing muscle function and disease severity with various tests. Most participants did not notice changes in their condition, despite measurable progression.
- Results showed variable disease progression, with improvements in quality of life and decreased fatigue. The study emphasizes the need for more sensitive outcome measures and larger international studies in future pediatric research.
