This study presents the quantity and quality of flax ( L.) and hemp ( L.) fibers obtained depending on the fiber extraction method. The extraction methods used in this study were osmotic degumming, dew retting, and water retting. The degummed straw was analyzed for fiber content, while the metrological, chemical, and physical properties were determined for the fibers obtained. It was shown that these properties change based on the method of fiber extraction used. The highest fiber content in the straw was obtained using the osmotic degumming method. These fibers are characterized by a light color, no unpleasant odor, low linear mass, good tenacity, lowest hygroscopicity, and reduced flammability compared to fibers obtained via the dew and water retting of straw.

Institutional Experience With Robotic Lobectomy After Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: The real-world safety of robotic resections after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy remains poorly defined in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Due to reported increased operative challenges after neoadjuvant immunotherapy, we aim to describe our early institutional experience and outcomes after robotic resection in this clinical context.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent a robotic lobectomy, comparing patients from June 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023, who were treated with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy consistent with the Checkmate-816 protocol and a control group with upfront resection.
Prognostic impact of subcutaneous fat quality and sarcopenia on the survival outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the quantity and quality of subcutaneous fat and prognosis following colorectal cancer resection.
Method: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 399 patients who underwent curative resection for stage 2 or 3 colorectal cancer between January 2013 and March 2019. This study examined the correlation between sarcopenia and various fat parameters, including fat area and density, and assessed their impact on the prognosis.

To improve the effectiveness of government environmental attention on resource allocation, this study proposes a measurement framework using text analysis and an unsupervised Word2vec model to quantify local government environmental attention of 288 Chinese cities. We further examine its impact on total factor productivity (TFP) of China's listed firms from 2010 to 2021 using the high-dimensional fixed-effects and panel quantile regression models. The findings show that: (1) Local government environmental attention contributes positively to TFP, with each unit increase raising TFP by approximately 1.

Objectives: Emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians express dissatisfaction with the quality and quantity of clinical feedback received from hospitals, which is exacerbated by the absence of standardized feedback processes. A reported lack of regular feedback impedes their ability to learn and improve care. We evaluated a newly implemented feedback tool's utilization and perceived impact on EMS clinicians and our health system.
