Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of placing an indicator light indicating inadequate ventilation near the face mask during positive-pressure ventilation with respiratory function monitors (RFMs) in neonatal resuscitation. The study is a three-group, randomised, controlled, crossover simulation trial.
Methods: Paediatrics residents, neonatology fellows, and attending neonatologists at a single neonatal intensive care unit. A ventilation simulation with a manikin was performed three times consecutively using the same scenario with three different ventilation evaluation methods (A) RFM plus indicator light and conventional methods (heart rate and chest rise) (B) RFM and conventional methods, and (C) conventional methods alone.
Results: The ratio of gaze duration on the manikin to the total trial duration was recorded using an eye-tracking device. The proportion of trials with adequate ventilation (expiratory tidal volume [VTe], 4-10 mL/kg; peak inspiratory pressure <30 cm HO; leak <40 %) was determined. After excluding incomplete data, 63 simulations (22 participants) were analysed. The ratios of the gaze duration on the manikin to the total trial duration were significantly different among settings A (0.60 [95 % confidence interval: 0.52-0.67] sec/sec), B (0.51 [0.43-0.59] sec/sec), and C (0.80 [0.76-0.84] sec/sec). Ventilation with adequate VTe and less leakage was more frequent in settings A and B than in setting C (adequate VTe: A, 91 %; B, 91 %; and C, 83 %; less leak: A, 76 %; B, 78 %; and C, 57 %).
Conclusions: An indicator light close to the facemask with an RFM directed the eyesight towards the manikin without compromising the ventilation quality during the simulation of neonatal resuscitation.

This research utilizes density functional theory to investigate the ground and excited-state properties of a new series of organic dyes with D-π-A configurations (D1-D6) for their potential application in dye-sensitized solar cells. The study focuses on modifying these dyes using various functional groups as π-bridges to optimize their electronic properties and improve their efficiency as sensitizers in DSSCs. The frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) were analysed to evaluate electron transfer properties.

Previous studies have suggested that ginsenoside Rg glycine ester derivative (RG) exhibits therapeutic potential in mitigating hypoxia. This study aimed to elucidate the potential mechanism of RG in hypoxia injury through a combined approach of metabolomics and network pharmacology. Initially, a CoCl-induced cell hypoxia model was established, and the therapeutic impact of RG on biochemical indices was evaluated.

The wheelchair service delivery process (SDP) is a large complex system and therefore has many potential points of failure; determining priorities for improvement is challenging. The complexities introduce several barriers to accessing and maintaining wheelchairs for individuals with mobility impairments. Given the breadth and depth of the barriers, it is important to know in which areas to focus future policy reform efforts.

Background: Postpartum is a critical period to interrupt weight gain across the lifespan, decrease weight-related risk in future pregnancies, promote healthy behaviors that are often adopted during pregnancy, and improve long-term health. Because the postpartum period is marked by unique challenges to a person's ability to prioritize healthy behaviors, a multi-level/domain approach to intervention beyond the individual-level factors of diet and activity is needed.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to understand postpartum people's perceptions about the relationship between their social networks and support, and their health behaviors and weight.

Currently, the development of red Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials attracts a lot of attention in optical thermometry sensors, solid lighting, display, and plant growth areas. Nevertheless, the thermal stability of Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials is still a crucial issue. Herein, a new red RbNaVF:Mn luminescent material with outstanding thermal stability was successfully synthesized through the facial coprecipitation method.
