To evaluate the alarm notification of artificial intelligence in detecting parasites on the KU-F40 Fully Automatic Feces Analyzer and provide a reference for clinical diagnosis in parasite diseases. A total of 1030 fecal specimens from patients in our hospital from May to June 2023 were collected, and parasite detection studies were conducted using the KU-F40 automated feces analyzer (normal mode method, floating-sedimentation mode method), acid-ether sedimentation method, and direct smear microscopy method, respectively. The positive detection rate of parasites in the 1030 fecal specimens was 22.9% (236 cases), of which the KU-F40 normal mode method had a detection rate of 16.3% (168 cases), the acid-ether sedimentation method had a detection rate of 19.0% (196 cases), and the direct smear microscopy method had a detection rate of 13.1% (135 cases). The detection rates of the first 2 methods were higher than those of the direct smear microscopy method, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). The detection rate of the KU-F40 floating-sedimentation mode method was 11.9% (123 cases), which was lower than that of the direct smear microscopy, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > .05). The sensitivity of the KU-F40 normal mode method, acid-ether sedimentation method, direct smear microscopy method, and the KU-F40 floating-sedimentation mode method were 71.2%, 83.1%, 57.2%, and 52.1%, respectively, and the specificity was 94.7%, 100%, 100%, and 97.7%, respectively. The coincidence rates of the KU-F40 normal mode method was 90.78%, with Kappa values of 0.633. The positive detection rate of parasites using the KU-F40 normal mode method is higher than that using the direct smear microscopy method. It has high sensitivity and specificity and has advantages such as high automation and fast detection speed. It can replace the microscopy method for routine screening and has higher clinical application value in the diagnosis of intestinal parasitic diseases.

Background: There is an under-reporting of anaesthesia-related safety events. Incident-capturing systems (ICSs) are essential for patient safety monitoring, identifying risks and ongoing opportunities for improvement. After a literature review and assessment of our current ICSs, we concluded that our institution lacked a reliable anaesthesia-specific ICS system, leading to under-reporting of anaesthesia-related safety events.

Background: Recent studies show that the increase in breath hydrogen (BH) and symptoms after ingestion of inulin is reduced by co-administering psyllium.

Objectives: To determine if slowing delivery of inulin to the colon by administering it in divided doses would mimic the effect of psyllium. Primary endpoint was the BH area under the curve AUC.

The construction of structure-guided aptamers and the ultra-sensitive aptamer-based lateral flow assays (Apt-LFA) integrated detection method hold significant potential for food analysis. Using an engineered modified sequence strategy, we successfully developed the aptamer Cap-1-2M4, significantly enhancing its affinity for capsaicin (CAP) to 0.6197 ± 0.

Objective: To evaluate the 36-month clinical performance of Single Bond Universal Adhesive (SBU; 3M ESPE, Germany) in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) using different modes of adhesion according to the FDI criteria. The primary outcome was the retention loss of the restorations, while the secondary outcomes included marginal staining, marginal adaptation, post-operative sensitivity and tooth vitality, recurrence of caries erosion and abfraction, and tooth integrity, all evaluated according to the FDI criteria.

Materials And Methods: In this study, the SBU Adhesive was applied to 246 NCCLs of 25 patients using different modes of adhesion: Self-etch (SE), selective-enamel-etching (SLE), and etch-and-rinse (ER).
