Day Surgery Ward, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, 230001 People's Republic of China.

Published: December 2022

Objective: To investigate the effect of changing the normal appointment mode on day surgery.

Methods: From December 2020 to December 2021, 302 patients with day surgery admitted to the hospital by using the unified reservation mode of the intelligent bed system were selected as the experimental group, while 302 patients with day surgery admitted to the hospital by using the decentralised bed reservation mode were randomly selected as the control group. The same-day surgery cancellation rate, bed utilisation rate and patient satisfaction were analysed and compared between the two groups.

Results: The treatment experience of the patients in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group. The same-day surgery cancellation rate was lower than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: The unified computer reservation mode of the intelligent bed reservation system is superior to the decentralised reservation mode across departments. A daytime intelligent bed reservation mode was adopted for unifying bed appointments, which could effectively reduce the same-day cancellation rate of day surgery, improve bed utilisation and improve patient satisfaction.

With the development of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology, the need for real-time data processing and communication in vehicles is increasing. Traditional request-based methods face challenges in terms of latency and bandwidth limitations. Mode 4 in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), also known as autonomous resource selection, aims to address latency and overhead issues by dynamically selecting communication resources based on real-time conditions.

Dietary Conversion from All-Concentrate to All-Roughage Alters Rumen Bacterial Community Composition and Function in Yak, Cattle-Yak, Tibetan Yellow Cattle and Yellow Cattle.

Animals (Basel)

October 2024

Key Laboratory of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Animal Genetic Resource Reservation, College of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Southwest Minzu University, Chengdu 610041, China.

The experiment was to compare the effects of switching all-concentrate to all-roughage diets on rumen microflora and functional metabolism of yak, cattle-yak, Tibetan yellow cattle and yellow cattle living in different altitudes. A total of 24 yaks, cattle-yaks, Tibetan yellow cattle and yellow cattle with a similar weight and good body condition aged 3.5 years were selected and divided into four groups according to species.

As autonomous driving may be the most important application scenario of the next generation, the development of wireless access technologies enabling reliable and low-latency vehicle communication becomes crucial. To address this, 3GPP has developed Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) specifications based on 5G New Radio (NR) technology, where Mode 2 Side-Link (SL) communication resembles Mode 4 in LTE-V2X, allowing direct communication between vehicles. This supplements SL communication in LTE-V2X and represents the latest advancements in cellular V2X (C-V2X) with the improved performance of NR-V2X.

Ridesourcing platforms thrive on socio-economic inequality.

Sci Rep

March 2024

Department of Transport & Planning, Delft University of Technology, Delft, 2628 CN, The Netherlands.

Limited available market share data seems to suggest that ridesourcing platforms benefit from, even thrive on, socio-economic inequality. We suspect that this is associated with high levels of socio-economic inequality allowing for cheap labour as well as increasing the share of travellers with a considerably above-average willingness to pay for travel time savings and comfort. We test the relation between inequality and system performance by means of an agent-based simulation model representing within-day and day-to-day supply-demand interaction in the ridesourcing market.

The present Systematic Review with Meta-analysis study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Portable A-mode Ultrasound (P-US) for measuring body fat percentage (BF%). Only studies with participants of both genders which had assessed BF% using P-US compared to the reference standard were selected. Publications up until May 31, 2022 were searched in the MEDLINE, COCHRANE, Science Direct, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, PEDro, SPORT Discus, CINAHL and SCOPUS databases.
