Our department established risk assessment criteria for medical adhesives in neonates by applying the best evidence in the management program for the reduction of medical adhesive-associated skin injuries in neonates, in terms of the use and removal of adhesives. Methods: A systematic search and quality assessment of topics related to medical adhesive-related skin injury in neonates was conducted to summarize the best evidence and to conduct a quality review in the neonatal unit. Results: After 2 rounds of review, medical and nursing staff in the neonatal unit had a 98% compliance rate for the knowledge of neonatal medical adhesive-related skin injury and a satisfactory compliance rate for the other 9 indicators;after the application of the evidence, the incidence of neonatal medical adhesive-related skin injury was significantly lower than that before the application of the evidence, and the differences were statistically significant (P Conclusion: The application of the best evidence-based management program in neonatal medical adhesive-associated skin injury can reduce the incidence of neonatal medical adhesive-associated skin injury, reduce neonatal infections, and improve the integrity of the protective skin barrier in neonates.展开更多
Four powder metallurgy(PM)Ni-based superalloys with different Hf and Ta contents were creep-tested at 650℃ and 970 MPa,700℃ and 770 MPa,and 750℃ and 580 MPa,respectively.The effect of Hf and Ta on creep deformation...Four powder metallurgy(PM)Ni-based superalloys with different Hf and Ta contents were creep-tested at 650℃ and 970 MPa,700℃ and 770 MPa,and 750℃ and 580 MPa,respectively.The effect of Hf and Ta on creep deformation behaviors of the superalloys was studied from multiple scales by SEM,electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope(AC-STEM).The results showed that Hf and Ta suppressed the intergranular fracture and initiation of cracks during the acceleration creep stage,which prolonged the creep rupture time.Hf and Ta inhibited the stacking faults extending and the dislocation climbing and promoted the Suzuki segregation of W during the steady-state creep stage,which reduced the minimum creep rate and delayed the start time of the acceleration creep stage.The Suzuki segregation of Co,Cr,Mo,Ti,Nb,W,and Ta along stacking faults was observed after Hf and Ta addition,leading to the localized phase transformation in the γ′phase,and the stacking fault phase was chemically disordered.This study provided ideas for the composition design of novel PM Ni-based superalloys and theoretical foundations for the combined addition of Hf and Ta.展开更多

These gaps required innovative problem-solving by public health agencies (PHAs), including local health departments (LHDs), to respond to rapidly changing community conditions during and after the pandemic. Many schools and programs of public health (SPPH) worked with PHAs to mobilize public health (PH) students through practice-based teaching (PBT). Current research indicates PBT benefits all stakeholders—PHAs, students, faculty, SPPH, and ultimately the community served. However, more research is needed on the utility of PBT in addressing a community’s systemic public health issues, the extent to which the academic-community collaboration enhances a PHA’s capacity, and the impact of the pedagogy on preparing the workforce for an evolving PH landscape. This paper examines the process of a semester-long PBT course, guided by the PBT STEPS framework, which includes five steps from collaboration to implementation to evaluation of a PBT course. The collaborating PHA and its student group addressed community trauma and resilience issues during the semester. Additionally, it examines the longer-term impacts after the semester for the PHA, community, and the workforce by 1) conducting a formative evaluation to understand needs and gaps in the community;2) redesigning an intervention that merged the results of the formative evaluation with the intervention developed during the semester;and 3) securing funding and resources for intervention sustainability. Through the documentation of a post-course partnership between an LHD and faculty at a large school of public health, this case study illustrates the potential for PBT to lay the foundation for ongoing research that supports more impactful interventions for PHAs while bolstering the workforce abilities of students as future practitioners.展开更多

However, challenges such as data silos and fragmented knowledge hinder the effective utilization of this information. This study proposes a novel framework for intelligent Question-and-Answer (Q&A) systems based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to address these issues. The system efficiently acquires domain-specific knowledge by leveraging external databases, including Relational Databases (RDBs) and graph databases, without additional fine-tuning for Large Language Models (LLMs). Crucially, the framework integrates a Dynamic Knowledge Base Updating Mechanism (DKBUM) and a Weighted Context-Aware Similarity (WCAS) method to enhance retrieval accuracy and mitigate inherent limitations of LLMs, such as hallucinations and lack of specialization. Additionally, the proposed DKBUM dynamically adjusts knowledge weights within the database, ensuring that the most recent and relevant information is utilized, while WCAS refines the alignment between queries and knowledge items by enhanced context understanding. Experimental validation demonstrates that the system can generate timely, accurate, and context-sensitive responses, making it a robust solution for managing complex business logic in specialized industries.展开更多

Although pure oats are inherently gluten-free, the widespread contamination with gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, or rye during agricultural and processing stages introduces the potential for gluten exposure through topical application. This raises important questions about whether gluten proteins, when applied to damaged skin, might penetrate the epidermal barrier and contribute to immune responses in genetically predisposed celiac patients, given that even minute amounts of gluten can trigger systemic symptoms. Emerging evidence suggests that transdermal absorption of gluten peptides through impaired skin integrity might bypass the gastrointestinal route, yet the precise mechanisms and clinical significance of this pathway remain poorly understood. The role of compromised skin in facilitating gluten absorption and the possible activation of CD4+ T-cells, mimicking gastrointestinal pathways, warrants further investigation. Additionally, the ability of gluten peptides to reach deeper dermal layers and potentially enter the systemic circulation remains speculative, though theoretically possible in severely disrupted skin barriers. Without clinical and molecular studies to determine the risk of topical gluten exposure, particularly in celiac patients with skin injuries, there remains a potential for undetected immune activation and subsequent adverse health outcomes in this sensitive population.展开更多
