Background: Restoration of hand function postextended radial forearm free flap (E-RFFF) is vital but challenging due to complex forearm anatomy and potential complications like reduced range of motion and sensory deficits. Traditional rehabilitation protocols often do not effectively address these issues.
Purpose: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of a hand therapy protocol that incorporates early active motion to enhance recovery outcomes after E-RFFF.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an emerging swift and nondestructive detecting method, offering a unique structural signature of analytes down to ultrasensitive levels. Herein, we present a novel SERS-based core-shell nanostructure with optimized silver shell thicknesses, capped with 2-mercaptoethylamine (2-MCE), to simultaneously detect multiple agrochemical residues in fruit samples. Compared to unmodified Au@AgNPs, the modified Au@Ag@2-MCENPs integrated with SERS exhibited improved sensitivity and stability, exhibiting a strong relationship between the SERS intensities and pesticide concentrations in the fruit samples, with LODs of 0.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) in managing limb swelling, alleviating pain, and promoting functional recovery in patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Method: This was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 160 patients who underwent ACLR at a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen between August 2021 and April 2023. The study compared the outcomes of conventional nursing care with complex decongestive therapy (CDT).

Background: Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) decreased sharply in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is unknown if survival recovered to pre-pandemic levels, or how recovery varied by community racial and ethnic composition.
Methods: We analyzed adults with non-traumatic OHCA from 2015-2022 in the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival using multivariable regression models with generalized estimation equations to calculate risk-adjusted rates of survival to discharge during 2015-2019 (pre-pandemic period) versus 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Head and neck reconstruction is among the most expensive types of surgery, requiring long operation time and hospital stays, with high complication rates. Enhanced recovery after surgery improves the quality of post-operative recovery. In this study, we evaluated and compared the costs and outcomes in patients who underwent free flap reconstruction after head and neck cancer surgery with or without enhanced recovery.
