It examines the effects on their physiological and psychological responses and overall satisfaction with nursing care. Methods: A total of 84 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group using a random number table. Each group consisted of 42 patients. The control group received standard surgical nursing care. In addition to standard care, the intervention group received handshake and information support from the circulating nurse before anesthesia induction. Vital signs were recorded before surgery and before anesthesia induction. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the State-Anxiety Inventory (S-AI), while nursing satisfaction was assessed using a numerical rating scale. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups in systolic and diastolic blood pressures before surgery and anesthesia induction (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in heart rate before anesthesia induction (P Conclusion: Providing handshake and information support before anesthesia induction effectively reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and enhances comfort and satisfaction among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.展开更多

文摘To improve the efficiency of ship traffic in frequently traded sea areas and respond to the national“dual-carbon”strategy,a multi-objective ship route induction model is proposed.Considering the energy-saving and environmental issues of ships,this study aims to improve the transportation efficiency of ships by providing a ship route induction method.Ship data from a certain bay during a defined period are collected,and an improved backpropagation neural network algorithm is used to forecast ship traffic.On the basis of the forecasted data and ship route induction objectives,dynamic programming of ship routes is performed.Experimental results show that the routes planned using this induction method reduce the combined cost by 17.55%compared with statically induced routes.This method has promising engineering applications in improving ship navigation efficiency,promoting energy conservation,and reducing emissions.
文摘BACKGROUND Tofacitinib is an oral,selective Janus kinase inhibitor that is approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC).The 8-week induction protocol involves the administration of 10 mg twice daily(bid)with the possibility of extending the induction period to 16 weeks.The maintenance dose of tofacitinib is either 5 mg or 10 mg bid.AIM To assess predictors for clinical remission and drug persistence in patients with UC receiving the extended induction tofacitinib protocol.METHODS This was a real-world multicenter retrospective study in patients with moderateto-severe UC.Patients received physician-directed extended induction tofacitinib treatment.We collected clinical and demographic data at baseline and data regarding clinical,laboratory,and endoscopic evaluations,therapeutic modifications,and adverse events at the 52-week follow-up.Possible predictors for clinical remission at week 52 was the primary endpoint.Differences between patients receiving 5 mg bid vs 10 mg bid at week 52 and identification of predictors for treatment persistence were secondary endpoints.RESULTS Thirty-seven consecutive patients from 11 medical centers were included[51.4%males with median age 39(17-64)years].Twenty-eight patients continued treatment until week 52(75.7%)with 67.9%receiving 10 mg tofacitinib;all had prior history of biologic use.We observed that 57.1%of patients achieved clinical remission(66.7%in the 5 mg tofacitinib group and 52.6%in the 10 mg tofacitinib group,P=0.483).De-escalation to 5 mg tofacitinib was attempted in 17 patients with a success rate of 52.9%.Prior biologic use was significantly more frequent in patients treated with 10 mg tofacitinib.Active smoking was significantly associated with treatment discontinuation at week 52.We identified eight adverse events,and only one led to treatment discontinuation.CONCLUSION Our results supported the extended induction strategy with tofacitinib in selected patients with UC.Patients with prior failure of advanced therapies particularly benefitted,highlighting the importance of personalized maintenance regimens.

文摘The investigation of reaction kinetics is the key to understanding the nature of reaction processes.However,monitoring fast photochemical reactions by mass spectrometry remains challenging.Herein,we developed an optical focusing inductive electrospray(OF-iESI)mass spectrometry platform for real-time and in-situ photoreaction monitoring.Coaxial irradiation from back of nanoelectrospray emitter with a taper section was utilized,so the emitter could act as optical lens to help achieving much larger optical power density at emitter tip compared to other sections,which allowed for in-situ reaction monitoring of photoreactions.Through theoretical calculations,the highest optical power density region volume was ca.45 nL.We also integrated a controller for the laser source(450 nm),enabling the modulation of pulse duration(>1 ms).This facilitates the study of photochemical reaction kinetics.The in-situ capability of this device was proved by capturing the short-lived photogenerated intermediates during the dehydrogenation of tetrahydroquinoline.This device was further used to investigate the kinetics of triplet energy transfer based Paternò-Büchi reaction.The reaction order has hitherto remained undetermined while the result of OF-iESI suggested it followed pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics.The short-lived donor-acceptor collision complex intermediate was also successfully identified by tandem mass spectrometry.

文摘Superconducting kinetic inductance detectors(KIDs)are considered to be a highly promising technique for the large-scale imaging of millimeter and submillimeter waves in astronomy.As the pixel density and the array size increase,the electromagnetic crosstalk inevitably becomes a problem that prevents increasing the multiplexing during the development of larger KIDs arrays.In this work,an effective method is introduced to suppress the electromagnetic crosstalk and achieve a compact pixel distribution and small frequency intervals.The electromagnetic crosstalk is first analyzed by simulating the behavior of two neighboring pixels,and the physical distance and the frequency interval are optimized.Then,the arrangement of the pixels on the whole array is redesigned using a genetic algorithm to satisfy the requirements.The simulation results reveal that the normalized electromagnetic crosstalk can be reduced to 0.5%on an 8×8 array.Larger arrays of 16×16 pixels have been fabricated and measured to validate this method,and the results reveal that both the resonance property and survival rate of pixels are improved effectively with this method.This method will be very helpful for designing high-multiplexing KIDs arrays within a limited bandwidth.

文摘CO_(2) and CH_(4) as major causes of global warming could both be eliminated to produce syngas undermild conditions through dry reforming methane driven by electromagnetic induction heating(EMIH-controlled DRM).Using EMIH-configured characterization and density functional theory,it is shownthat the EMIH-induced negative electric field at the electromagnetic interface facilitates CO_(2) dissociation and atomic oxygen transfer,which is the source of the promoting effect of EMIH.By employing pure H2 in a one-step high-temperature reduction process,the interfacial effect between the NiMgAl compound and the Fe fiber could be improved,thereby increasing the influence of the EMIH-induced electric field.Consequently,the R-NiMgAl/Fe fiber catalyst with EMIH achieves about 90%conversions of CH_(4) and CO_(2) at 500℃,while traditional heating-driven DRM on R-NiMgAl requires 700℃ to accomplish the same result.
文摘Objective: This study evaluates the impact of handshake and information support on patients’ outcomes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It examines the effects on their physiological and psychological responses and overall satisfaction with nursing care. Methods: A total of 84 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group using a random number table. Each group consisted of 42 patients. The control group received standard surgical nursing care. In addition to standard care, the intervention group received handshake and information support from the circulating nurse before anesthesia induction. Vital signs were recorded before surgery and before anesthesia induction. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the State-Anxiety Inventory (S-AI), while nursing satisfaction was assessed using a numerical rating scale. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups in systolic and diastolic blood pressures before surgery and anesthesia induction (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in heart rate before anesthesia induction (P Conclusion: Providing handshake and information support before anesthesia induction effectively reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and enhances comfort and satisfaction among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

文摘BACKGROUND Splenic artery aneurysm(SAA)rupture is a rare,life-threatening condition characterized by acute intra-abdominal hemorrhage and hemodynamic instability.Ruptured SAAs may exhibit a biphasic and relatively slow clinical progression,commonly referred to as the“double-rupture phenomenon”.The reported incidence of the double-rupture phenomenon ranges 12%-21%in patients with ruptured SAAs,potentially due to variations in intra-abdominal pressure.Following anesthesia induction,muscle relaxation can decrease intra-abdominal pressure,potentially triggering the double-rupture phenomenon and leading to circulatory collapse.CASE SUMMARY A 61-year-old female presented to the Department of Emergency with upper abdominal pain,abdominal distension,dizziness,and vomiting.Her vital signs were initially stable.Physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness and positive-shifting dullness.Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed cirrhosis,severe portal hypertension,and splenomegaly.Acute rupture was suggested by a hematoma on the upper left side outside the SAA.Surgeons deemed intravascular intervention challenging and open splenectomy inevitable.Circulatory collapse occurred after anesthesia induction,likely due to a double rupture of the SAA.This double-rupture phenomenon may have resulted from an initial rupture of the SAA into the omental bursa,forming a hematoma that exerted a tamponade effect.A second rupture into the peritoneal cavity may have been triggered by decreased intra-abdominal pressure following anesthesia induction.The patient’s life was saved through early,coordinated,multidisciplinary significant postoperative bleeding or hypoxic encephalopathy.CONCLUSION Anesthesia-induced pressure reduction may trigger a second SAA rupture,causing collapse.Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary teamwork improve outcomes.This is a rare and life-threatening case of SAA rupture,which is of great significance to the medical community for understanding and handling such emergencies.

文摘For permanent magnet synchronous machines(PMSMs),accurate inductance is critical for control design and condition monitoring.Owing to magnetic saturation,existing methods require nonlinear saturation model and measurements from multiple load/current conditions,and the estimation is relying on the accuracy of saturation model and other machine parameters in the model.Speed harmonic produced by harmonic currents is inductance-dependent,and thus this paper explores the use of magnitude and phase angle of the speed harmonic for accurate inductance estimation.Two estimation models are built based on either the magnitude or phase angle,and the inductances can be from d-axis voltage and the magnitude or phase angle,in which the filter influence in harmonic extraction is considered to ensure the estimation performance.The inductances can be estimated from the measurements under one load condition,which is free of saturation model.Moreover,the inductance estimation is robust to the change of other machine parameters.The proposed approach can effectively improve estimation accuracy especially under the condition with low current magnitude.Experiments and comparisons are conducted on a test PMSM to validate the proposed approach.

文摘Mechanical energy produced by human motion is ubiquitous,continuous,and usually not utilized,making it an attractive target for sustainable electricity-harvesting applications.In this study,flexible magnetic-Juncus effusus(M-JE)fibers were prepared from plant-extracted three-dimensional porous Juncus effusus(JE)fibers decorated with polyurethane and magnetic particles.The M-JE fibers were woven into fabrics and used for mechanical energy harvesting through electromagnetic induction.The M-JE fabric and induction coil,attached to the human wrist and waist,yielded continuous and stable voltage(2 V)and current(3 mA)during swinging.The proposed M-JE fabric energy harvester exhibited good energy harvesting potential and was capable of quickly charging commercial capacitors to power small electronic devices.The proposed M-JE fabric exhibited good mechanical energy harvesting performance,paving the way for the use of natural plant fibers in energy-harvesting fabrics.
