AI Article Synopsis

  • The paper examines the treatment of acute pharyngitis using the acupoints related to "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions," which are mainly located around the neck area.
  • It explains that acute pharyngitis is primarily caused by external factors like wind and heat affecting the throat, with these factors hindering treatment.
  • Various techniques, such as point-pressing and bleeding at the ear apex, are utilized to alleviate these symptoms by clearing the pathways in the head and neck to eliminate the harmful factors.

Article Abstract

The paper explores the thoughts and manipulations of at "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" for the treatment of acute pharyngitis based on "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" in (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" refer to the special acupoints of meridians, mostly located at the neck region. It is the "window" of the head and neck, acting on dispersing wind and regulating and blood by opening the "window". Acute pharyngitis is caused by the invasion of exogenous wind and heat to the throat or by re-attack of exogenous factors and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach. Pathogenic wind and heat is the chief causative factor. Based on the theory and location of "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions", the manipulations of , i.e. point-pressing, plucking and smoothing, are operated to open "" (door and window) of the head and face, combined by bleeding at the ear apex so that the path is opened for pathogen elimination. As a result, the pathogenic wind and heat are dispelled, movement is promoted and the throat is benefited.

Objective: This study aims to perform a meta-analysis that integrates multiple literature sources to evaluate the clinical efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for treating lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD).

Methods: A systematic search was conducted across various databases, including CNKI, VIP, WANFANG DATA, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science, for clinical comparative studies on OLIF and MIS-TLIF for treating LDD, covering the time frame from the inception of the databases to September 2024. Following PRISMA guidelines, studies were screened, assessed, and data were extracted rigorously.

  • * The article explores the predictive value of combining the Monocyte-to-High-Density Lipoprotein ratio (MHR) and thromboelastography parameters for acute cerebral infarction, highlighting its potential role in improving diagnosis and treatment.
  • * Experimental results indicated that while certain parameters, like HDL, correlate with mortality within 90 days, overall differences in mortality rates were not significant; the study suggests that this combined approach could enhance personalized treatment strategies for cerebral infarction.

Boundary-Repairing Dual-Path Network for Retinal Layer Segmentation in OCT Image with Pigment Epithelial Detachment.

J Imaging Inform Med

December 2024

Department of Health Administration and Policy, College of Health and Human Services, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, 22030, USA.

Automatic retinal layer segmentation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is crucial for the diagnosis of ocular diseases. Currently, automatic retinal layer segmentation works well with normal OCT images. However, pigment epithelial detachment (PED) dramatically alters the retinal structure, causing blurred boundaries and partial disappearance of the Bruch's Membrane (BM), thus posing challenges to the segmentation.
