Background: Validated monitoring methods for evaluating the balance of nociception and anti-nociception (BNAN) are needed in general anesthesia. This study assessed six photoplethysmography (PPG) parameters, computed from finger photoplethysmographic waveforms in patients undergoing gynecological surgery under general anesthesia.
Methods: A total of 20 participants were included, each undergoing general anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil. The same concentration of remifentanil was maintained throughout the experiment, four different intensities of electrical stimulation were administered, and the patient's fingertip PPG was meticulously recorded. PPG data were preprocessed to extract six PPG morphological parameters, and photoplethysmographic amplitude (PPGA), pulse beat interval (PBI), and surgical pleth index (SPI). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) were constructed and calculated to accurately measure its ability to reflect the nociceptive stimulus state. The consistency of different phase parameters at different stimulus intensities was evaluated by calculating the prediction probabilities. All results were compared with those obtained using SPI, PPGA, and PBI.
Results: After stimulation, all parameters and SPI showed significant changes compared with those before stimulation (p = 0.000). The catacrotic phase parameters (AC and MHC) showed higher discrimination in adequate analgesia and congruence with electrical stimulation intensity than the overall phase parameters, PPGA, and anacrotic phase parameters (AC: AUC = 0.851, Pk = 0.800; MHC: AUC = 0.837, Pk = 0.792).
Conclusions: In this study, six PPG morphological parameters were proposed and observed for the first time to effectively distinguish the occurrence of nociception. Compared with the overall phase parameters, PPGA, and anacrotic phase parameters, catacrotic phase parameters were more capable of characterizing noxious stimuli and more consistent with changes in electrical stimulation intensity.

The relationship between the structure and function of condensed matter is complex and changeable, which is especially suitable for combination with machine learning to quickly obtain optimized experimental conditions. However, little research has been done on the effect of temperature on condensed matter and how it affects device performance because the difference between the in situ physical property parameters (which are lowered by the surface tension and mixing entropy) and the basic parameters of the bulk makes accurate AI predictions difficult. In this work, P3HT/ITIC was chosen as the donor/acceptor material for the active layer of organic phototransistors (OPTs).

The self-assemblies of topological complex block copolymers, especially the AB type miktoarm star ones, are fascinating topics in the soft matter field, which represent typical self-assembly behaviors analogous to those of biological membranes. However, their diverse topological asymmetries and versatile spontaneous curvatures result in rather complex phase separations that deviate significantly from the common mechanisms. Thus, numerous trial-and-error experiments with tremendous parameter space and intricate relationships are needed to study their assemblies.

Electron beams evolved as important tools for modern technologies that construct and analyze nanoscale architectures. While electron-matter interactions at atomic and macro scales are well-studied, a knowledge gap persists at the molecular to nano level─the scale most relevant to the latest technologies. Here, we employ liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy supported by density functional theory calculations and a mathematical random search algorithm to rationalize and quantify electron beam-induced processes at the molecular level.

In the present study, magnetic-calcined bamboo composite adsorbents (MCBC200, MCBC400, MCBC600, MCBC800, and MCBC1000) were prepared, and their physicochemical characteristics (scanning electron microscope images, differential thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform-IR, specific surface area, surface functional groups, and point of zero charge [pH]) were evaluated. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB, cationic dye) using the prepared adsorbents was assessed. The value of pH and the specific surface area of MCBC400 were 7.

Polymer liquid chromatography at critical conditions (LCCC) is a chromatographic separation condition achieved by carefully balancing the interaction of a polymer with stationary and mobile phases to make the elution time of a polymer in chromatography independent of its molecular weight. By removing the dependence of elution time on polymer molecular weight, the LCCC then allows separation of polymer samples on the basis of secondary differences, such as topology, branching, and end-group functionality, that are otherwise difficult to resolve. Despite its potential, LCCC remains under-employed due to the complexity of its optimization and the scattered nature of existing data.
