Life support technology is one of the most critical technologies in manned submersibles, acting for the pilots of the submersible and thus directly affecting its underwater safety. Due to its importance, many countries and international organizations have proposed standards and specifications for life support technology. This paper presents an overview of the life support technology of manned submersibles, comparing the standards proposed for it. Furthermore, it analyzes the specific data of oxygen supply and carbon dioxide absorption, both of which are critical aspects of life support technology in each standard, and identifies the data that is widely acknowledged and recognized as the basis for establishing ISO standard 22252:2020). Finally, ISO standard data such as oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration are further confirmed by the environmental parameters of manned submersibles such as the .

Although empirical support for the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (11th ed.; ICD-11) distinction between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD) is growing, research into the ICD-11 CPTSD model in prison staff is lacking. This study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to (a) determine if there are distinct groups of trauma-exposed prison governors (i.

In 2023, a breast cancer risk assessment and a subsequent positive test for the BRCA-2 genetic mutation brought me to the uncomfortable intersection of a longstanding career as an advocate for high-quality medical evidence to support shared patient-provider decision making and a new role as a high-risk patient. My search for studies of available risk-management options revealed that the most commonly recommended approach for women with a ⩾20% lifetime breast cancer risk, intensive screening including annual mammography and/or magnetic resonance imaging beginning at age 25-40 years, was supported only by cancer-detection statistics, with almost no evidence on patient-centered outcomes-mortality, physical and psychological morbidity, or quality of life-compared with standard screening or a surgical alternative, bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy. In this commentary, I explore parallels between the use of the intensive screening protocol and another longstanding women's health recommendation based on limited evidence, the use of hormone therapy (HT) for postmenopausal chronic disease prevention, which was sharply curtailed after the publication of the groundbreaking Women's Health Initiative trial in 2002.

Objective: Breast cancer patients often face a significant financial burden, leading to financial toxicity due to the necessity for long-term care, costly treatment, and follow-up measures. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the available qualitative evidence on how breast cancer patients cope with financial toxicity and their unmet need to promote the implementation of effective intervention strategies.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, CNKI, Wan Fang Data, and VIP databases were systematically searched for literature related to the study topic.

subsp. () possesses a -specific uter embrane rotein XAC1347 (OMP) that exerts a role in the expression of the type III secretion system for pathogenicity. In this study, we reported that OMP was required for salt stress tolerance and cell membrane integrity, as well as the expression of the genes for the production of extracellular polysaccharides.
