This study is to explore the application of target temperature management and therapeutic hypothermia in the treatment of neuroprotection patients with severe traumatic brain injury and its effect on oxidative stress. From February 2019 to April 2021, 120 patients with severe traumatic brain injury cured were selected in our hospital. The patients were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The control group accepted mild hypothermia therapy. The experimental group took targeted temperature management and mild hypothermia therapy. This study compared the prognosis, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, oxidative stress level, brain function index and the incidence of complications in different groups. The prognosis of the experimental group was better (P < .05). After treatment, the NIHSS score lessened. The NIHSS score of the experimental group was lower at 3 and 6 weeks after treatment (P < .05). Following treatment, the level of superoxide dismutase-1 in the experimental group was higher and the level of malondialdehyde was lower (P < .05). After treatment, the brain function indexes of patients lessened. The experimental group's myelin basic protein, neuron specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein indexes were lower (P < .05). The incidences of pendant pneumonia, atelectasis, venous thrombosis of extremities and ventricular arrhythmias in the experimental group were remarkably lower (P < .05). Targeted temperature management and mild hypothermia treatment can improve neurological function, maintain brain cell function, and reduce stress-reactions risk. The incidence of complications during hospitalization was reduced.

Aim: This study aimed to protect brain functions in patients who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest through the application of local cerebral hypothermia. By utilizing a specialized thermal hypothermia device, this approach sought to mitigate ischemic brain injury associated with post-cardiac arrest syndrome, enhance survival rates, and improve neurological outcomes as measured by standardized scales.
Methods: A prospective, single-center cohort study was conducted involving patients aged ≥18 years who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest and achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

There is an ever-increasing demand for novel plant proteins that are non-allergenic, nutritionally complete, adequately functional, and can be sustainably sourced. RuBisCo is a protein that fulfills these requirements and can be sourced from alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Therefore, this study investigated several techniques to adequately extract alfalfa protein.

This study investigates the spatio-temporal distribution of formaldehyde (HCHO) over the mainland Southeast Asian region (including Northeast India) from 2019 to 2022 using TROPOMI satellite data. HCHO is a key atmospheric trace gas which is influenced by both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. We analyze HCHO levels in relation to atmospheric species including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and environmental factors such as land surface temperature (LST), precipitation (PPT), fire radiative power (FRP), and enhanced vegetation index (EVI).

Spontaneous coal fires are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global warming. However, the lack of reliable estimation methods and research has obscured the full environmental impact of these emissions. This paper presents a novel quantification method for fugitive carbon emissions from spontaneous coal combustion.

Livestock manure is difficult to manage for high moisture and nutrients. High-temperature composting (> 75 °C) reduces moisture. However, the humification process, crucial for nutrient recycling, remains poorly understood.
