A fast and well-performed collision cancellation algorithm is proposed based on the geometric analysis and the angular propagation （AP）, and a 3-D real-time interactive system is developed for the motion simulation of the guide wire and the catheter inside the specific patient vascular. The guide wire or the catheter is modeled as the ＂multi-body＂ representation and properties are defined by its intrinsic characteristics. The motion of the guide wire or the catheter inside the vascular is guided by the collision detection and the collision cancellation algorithm. Finally, a relaxation procedure is used to achieve more realistic status. Experimental results show that the behavior of the guide wire or the catheter depends on the defined parameters. The real-time simulation can be achieved. The result shows that the simulation system is effective and promising.展开更多

文摘Background:Early Hearing Detection and Intervention(EHDI)plays a critical role in improving language,cognitive,and socio-emotional outcomes for infants with hearing loss.In Nigeria,however,EHDI implementation remains limited by fragmented service delivery,uneven technological capacity,and sociocultural factors that delay timely diagnosis.This study explored the perspectives of paediatric audiologists and parents to provide a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges influencing early hearing care across diverse Nigerian settings.Methods:A mixed-methods design was employed across audiology facilities selected systematically from four Nigerian geopolitical zones.Twenty-five paediatric audiologists and twenty-three parents of children with congenital hearing loss participated.Quantitative data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing awareness,diagnostic access,and intervention experiences.Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and two focus group discussions.Thematic analysis followed Braun and Clarke's six-step framework,with dual coding,external auditing,and member validation to enhance credibility.Results:Quantitative findings demonstrated broad agreement on the diagnostic value of otoacoustic emissions(OAEs)and automated auditory brainstem responses(AABRs),the developmental benefits of early intervention,and the importance of active parental involvement.However,respondents identified persistent barriers including high costs of screening and therapy,poor public awareness of early hearing loss symptoms,and a critical shortage of trained personnel,and unequal distribution of diagnostic tools,particularly in rural and northern regions.Thematic analysis further underscored disparities in diagnostic capacity,sociocultural interpretations of deafness that delay clinical consultation,and economic constraints that hinder continuity of care.While families who accessed early intervention reported improved communication,social engagement,and learning readiness in their children,systemic gaps continue to limit widespread success.Conclusions:Despite growing technological capacity and awareness of EHDI benefits,significant structural,financial,and sociocultural challenges continue to impede timely diagnosis and intervention in Nigeria.Strengthening national policies,ensuring equitable distribution of diagnostic tools,expanding professional training,subsidising services,implementing culturally sensitive awareness campaigns and integration of Universal Newborn Hearing Screening into routine postnatal care are essential to improving outcomes for deaf infants.
文摘Objective:To explore the impact of systematic stepwise rehabilitation nursing intervention on the prognosis and disease uncertainty of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage,and to provide feasible strategies for clinical nursing.Methods:Eighty patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to June 2025 were selected and randomly divided into an observation group(n=40,receiving systematic stepwise rehabilitation nursing)and a control group(n=40,receiving conventional nursing).The intervention effects were analyzed by comparing changes in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores for neurological recovery,Short Form 36 Health Survey(SF-36)scores for quality of life,Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale(ESCA)scores for self-management ability,compliance,and the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale(MUIS)scores between the two groups.Results:All scores in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group after the intervention(p<0.05).Specifically,the NIHSS scores decreased more significantly,the total SF-36 scores increased,the ESCA scores increased significantly,while the MUIS scores decreased significantly,and compliance improved markedly,indicating a reduction in disease uncertainty among patients.Conclusion:Systematic stepwise rehabilitation nursing intervention can significantly improve neurological recovery,quality of life,self-management ability,and compliance in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage,while effectively reducing disease uncertainty.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
文摘BACKGROUND Approximately 30%of patients with head and neck cancer experience adverse effects caused by anxiety and depression.Considering the high prevalence,implementing customized interventions to ease adverse emotional states is imperative.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT)-based psychological interventions in improving the psychological well-being and quality of life(QoL)of patients with laryngeal carcinoma.METHODS This study enrolled 120 patients admitted from February 2022 to February 2024.The control group,comprising 50 participants,received standard supportive psychological care,while the research group,consisting 70 participants,underwent CBT-based interventions.Several clinical outcomes were systematically assessed that included postoperative recovery metrics(duration of tracheostomy and nasogastric tube dependence and length of hospitalization),psychological status(Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale),nutritional markers(serum albumin and hemoglobin levels),sleep quality(Self-Rating Scale of Sleep and Athens Insomnia Scale),and QoL(Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck).RESULTS The results demonstrated that the research group experienced superior outcomes,with significantly reduced durations of tracheostomy and nasogastric tube dependence,as well as shorter hospital stays,compared with the control group.Additionally,the research group exhibited markedly lower post-intervention Self-Rating Anxiety Scale,Self-Rating Depression Scale,Self-Rating Scale of Sleep,and Athens Insomnia Scale scores,along with minimal but higher change in serum albumin and hemoglobin levels compared with the control group.All five domains of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck showed notable improvements in the research group,exceeding those observed in the control group.CONCLUSION CBT-based psychological support positively affects the mental well-being and QoL of patients with laryngeal carcinoma,highlighting its potential for broader clinical application.
文摘Objective:This review aimed to evaluate existing evidence of educational interventions targeted at parents and caregivers of children with type 1 diabetes(T1D)to improve diabetes management outcomes.Methods:A general review was conducted with primary caregivers of children younger than 18 with T1D as the population of interest.Journal searches were performed using the CINAHL,EBSCO,Pub Med,Scopus,Science Direct,and Google Scholar,databases for publications between 2017 and 2024,with full text in English.Results:A total of 26 studies were included in the review.Nine of these studies focused on various educational interventions,both technology-based and non-technology-based.By contrast,17 studies examined the impact of these interventions on caregiver outcomes,such as treatment adherence and glycemic control in children with T1D.So,the following research questions guided this review:(1)What is the effectiveness of diabetes education interventions on glycemic control in children with T1D?(2)How do caregiver knowledge and self-efficacy affect diabetes management outcomes?Conclusions:Diabetes interventions highlight the vital role of empowering caregivers of children with T1D with knowledge,skills,and support to improve and enhance their adherence to treatment,knowledge,and self-efficacy that ultimately contribute to better glycemic control of children as reflected by their Hb A1c levels.This review highlights the importance of diabetes education interventions for caregivers of children with T1D.The evidence indicates that such interventions can improve caregiver knowledge,self-efficacy,and glycemic control in children.However,variability in outcomes suggests that fur ther research is needed to identify the most effective educational strategies.

文摘According to the Mindlin plate theory and the first-order piston theory,this work obtains accurate closed-form eigensolutions for the flutter problem of three-dimensional(3D)rectangular laminated panels.The governing differential equations are derived by the Hamilton's variational principle,and then solved by the iterative Separation-of-Variable(i SOV)method,which are applicable to arbitrary combinations of homogeneous Boundary Conditions(BCs).However,only the simply-support,clamped and cantilever panels are considered in this work for the sake of clarity.With the closed-form eigensolutions,the flutter frequency,flutter mode and flutter boundary are presented,and the effect of shear deformation and aerodynamic damping on flutter frequencies is investigated.Besides,the relation between panel energy and the work of aerodynamic load is discussed.The numerical comparisons reveal the following.(A)The flutter eigenvalues obtained by the present method are accurate,validated by the Finite Element Method(FEM)and the Galerkin method.(B)When the span-chord ratio is larger than 3,simplifying a 3D panel to 2D(two-dimensional)panel is reasonable and the relative differences of the flutter points predicted by the two models are less than one percent.(C)The reciprocal relationship between the mechanical energy of the panel and the work done by aerodynamic load is verified by using the present flutter eigenvalues and modes,further indicating the high accuracy of the present solutions.(D)The coupling of shear deformation and aerodynamic damping prevents frequency coalescing.

文摘Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system.They act as the first line of defense against pathogens and play essential roles in neuroinflammation and tissue repair after brain insult or in neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases(Borst et al.,2021).Together with infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages,microglia also play a critical role for brain tumor development,since immunosuppressive interactions between tumor cells and tumor-associated microglia and macrophages(TAM)are linked to malignant progression.This mechanism is of particular relevance in glioblastoma(GB),the deadliest form of brain cancer with a median overall survival of less than 15 months(Khan et al.,2023).Therefore,targeting microglia and macrophage activation is a promising strategy for therapeutic interference in brain disease.
文摘Healthy life expectancy is a pivotal measure of population health by integrating both life expectancy and the quality of years lived.A significant increase in life expectancy was evident in most populations during the past decades worldwide[1],but the growth in healthy life expectancy has generally lagged behind[2].China has made substantial strides in enhancing both life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
文摘The intersection of visual impairment and mental health has profound effects on quality of life and warrants attention from healthcare providers,educators,and policymakers.With 20 million children under the age of 14 affected globally,older adults also experience significant psychological impact including depression,anxiety,and cognitive impairment.The implications of vision-related challenges extend far beyond mere sight.Depression and anxiety,exacerbated by social isolation and reduced physical activity,underscore the need for comprehensive interventions that address both medical and psychosocial dimensions.By recognizing the profound impact of ocular morbidities like strabismus,myopia,glaucoma,and age-related macular degeneration on mental health and investing in effective treatments and inclusive practices,society can pave the way for a healthier,more equitable future for affected individuals.There is evidence that myopic children experience a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms compared to their normal peers,and interventions like the correction of strabismus can enhance psychological outcome-demonstrating the value of an integrated management approach.
文摘BACKGROUND Liver abscess is a common clinical liver disease mainly caused by suppurative bacteria or amoebae,with early clinical signs of chills,high fever,jaundice,and other symptoms.Establishing its early diagnosis is difficult,which may lead to misdiagnosis.AIM To observe the effects of psychological guidance combined with evidence-based health intervention in patients with liver abscess treated with ultrasound.METHODS A total of 120 patients with bacterial liver abscess admitted to our hospital from May 2018 to February 2021 were selected and divided into groups according to their intervention plan.RESULTS After the intervention,Self-Rating Depression Scale,Self-Rating Anxiety Scale,Self-Perceived Burden Scale(SPBS),and quality of life scores(physical functioning,role physical,bodily pain,general health,vitality,social functioning,role emotional,mental health)were lower than before the intervention in the two groups.The observation group had lower negative sentiment,SPBS,and quality of life scores than the control group.In the observation group,31 and 24 patients had good and general compliance,respectively,with a compliance rate of 91.67%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group.The observation group had significantly lower total incidence of incision infection,abdominal abscess,hemorrhage,and severe abdominal pain than the control group.CONCLUSION Three-dimensional psychological guidance combined with evidence-based health intervention in treating liver abscess can reduce patients’burden and negative emotions,improve patient compliance and quality of life,and reduce complications.
文摘BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors.The three-dimensional quality structure model is a quality assessment theory that includes three dimensions:Structure,process,and results.AIM To investigate the effects of nursing interventions with three-dimensional quality assessment on the efficacy and disease management ability of patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery.METHODS In this prospective study,the control group received routine nursing,and the intervention group additionally received a three-dimensional quality assessment intervention based on the above routine care.Self-efficacy and patient disease management abilities were evaluated using the General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES)and Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale,respectively.IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows,version 17.0,was used for the data processing.RESULTS This study recruited 112 patients who were assigned to the control and experi-mental groups(n=56 per group).Before the intervention,there was no significant difference in GSES scores between the two groups(P>0.05).After the inter-vention,the GSES scores of both groups increased,with the experimental group showing higher values(P<0.05).At the time of discharge and three months after discharge,the scores for positive attitudes,self-stress reduction,and total score of health promotion in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The implementation of a three-dimensional quality structure model for postoperative patients with esophageal cancer can effectively improve their self-management ability and self-efficacy of postoperative patients.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the value of rehabilitation nursing based on mind mapping model combined with psychological intervention for patients with nephrotic syndrome(NS).Methods:A total of 60 patients with NS who visited our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected as samples and randomly divided into groups.The observation group received rehabilitation nursing based on the mind mapping model combined with psychological intervention,while the control group received routine intervention.The differences in emotional scores,self-care ability scores,compliance,and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The anxiety(SAS)and depression(SDS)scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,while the self-care ability scale(ESCA)score was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The compliance rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The complication rate of NS in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Rehabilitation nursing based on the mind mapping model combined with psychological intervention can enhance self-care ability,reduce negative emotions,and reduce complications in NS nursing,which is efficient and feasible.
文摘To address the problem of multi-missile cooperative interception against maneuvering targets at a prespecified impact time and desired Line-of-Sight(LOS)angles in ThreeDimensional(3D)space,this paper proposes a 3D leader-following cooperative interception guidance law.First,in the LOS direction of the leader,an impact time-controlled guidance law is derived based on the fixed-time stability theory,which enables the leader to complete the interception task at a prespecified impact time.Next,in the LOS direction of the followers,by introducing a time consensus tracking error function,a fixed-time consensus tracking guidance law is investigated to guarantee the consensus tracking convergence of the time-to-go.Then,in the direction normal to the LOS,by combining the designed global integral sliding mode surface and the second-order Sliding Mode Control(SMC)theory,an innovative 3D LOS-angle-constrained interception guidance law is developed,which eliminates the reaching phase in the traditional sliding mode guidance laws and effectively saves energy consumption.Moreover,it effectively suppresses the chattering phenomenon while avoiding the singularity issue,and compensates for unknown interference caused by target maneuvering online,making it convenient for practical engineering applications.Finally,theoretical proof analysis and multiple sets of numerical simulation results verify the effectiveness,superiority,and robustness of the investigated guidance law.

文摘Three-dimensional(3D)urban structures play a critical role in informing climate mitigation strategies aimed at the built environment and facilitating sustainable urban development.Regrettably,there exists a significant gap in detailed and consistent data on 3D building space structures with global coverage due to the challenges inherent in the data collection and model calibration processes.In this study,we constructed a global urban structure(GUS-3D)dataset,including building volume,height,and footprint information,at a 500 m spatial resolution using extensive satellite observation products and numerous reference building samples.Our analysis indicated that the total volume of buildings worldwide in2015 exceeded 1×10^(12)m^(3).Over the 1985 to 2015 period,we observed a slight increase in the magnitude of 3D building volume growth(i.e.,it increased from 166.02 km3 during the 1985–2000 period to 175.08km3 during the 2000–2015 period),while the expansion magnitudes of the two-dimensional(2D)building footprint(22.51×10^(3) vs 13.29×10^(3)km^(2))and urban extent(157×10^(3) vs 133.8×10^(3)km^(2))notably decreased.This trend highlights the significant increase in intensive vertical utilization of urban land.Furthermore,we identified significant heterogeneity in building space provision and inequality across cities worldwide.This inequality is particularly pronounced in many populous Asian cities,which has been overlooked in previous studies on economic inequality.The GUS-3D dataset shows great potential to deepen our understanding of the urban environment and creates new horizons for numerous 3D urban studies.
