Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a severe, orphan disease characterized by a steady increase in symptoms of parkinsonism, cerebellar disorders, and autonomic failure. In addition to autonomic failure, which is considered the defining symptom of this type of atypical parkinsonism, there are a range of other non-motor clinical manifestations, such as sleep disorders, pain syndrome, anxiety-depressive disorders, cognitive impairment (CI). CI, especially severe CI, has long been considered as a distinctive feature of MCA. Recently, there have been many clinical studies with pathomorphological or neuroimaging confirmation, indicating a high prevalence of cognitive disorders in MCA. In this article, we discuss the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of MCA and CI in MCA, as well as the range of clinical manifestations of cognitive dysfunction.

Tangerine peel is a traditional Chinese herb and has been widely applied in foods and medicine for its multiple pharmacological effects. Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), a member of the cytokine receptor family, is widely expressed in multiple tissues in especial kidney and plays protective effects in adverse physiological and pathological conditions. We hypothesized that it might be EPOR agonists existing in Tangerine peel bring such renal benefits.

Including sensor information in medical interventions aims to support surgeons to decide on subsequent action steps by characterizing tissue intraoperatively. With bladder cancer, an important issue is tumor recurrence because of failure to remove the entire tumor. Impedance measurements can help to classify bladder tissue and give the surgeons an indication on how much tissue to remove.

A novel method for solving the multiple-attribute decision-making problem is proposed using the complex Diophantine interval-valued Pythagorean normal set (CDIVPNS). This study aims to discuss aggregating operations and how they are interpreted. We discuss the concept of CDIVPN weighted averaging (CDIVPNWA), CDIVPN weighted geometric (CDIVPNWG), generalized CDIVPN weighted averaging (CGDIVPNWA) and generalized CGDIVPN weighted geometric (CGDIVPNWG).

Background: The emergence of colistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a significant public health concern, as colistin has been the last resort for treating such infections. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of colistin-resistant CRKP isolates in Central South China.
Methods: CRKP isolates from twelve hospitals in Central South China were screened for colistin resistance using broth microdilution.
