Patients were divided into ICU-AW group and non-ICU-AW group according to whether they developed ICU-AW, or categorized into EEN and parenteral nutrition(PN) groups according to nutritional support. ICU-AW was diagnosed using the Medical Research Council score. The primary outcome was the occurrence of ICU-AW.RESULTS: The significant factors associated with ICU-AW included age, sex, type of nutritional therapy, mechanical ventilation(MV), body mass index(BMI), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), and creatinine(Cr) levels(P<0.05). The PN group developed ICU-AW earlier than did the EEN group, with a significant difference observed(log-rank P<0.001). Among biomarkers for ICU-AW, the mean prealbumin(PAB)/C-reactive protein(CRP) ratio had the highest diagnostic accuracy(area under the curve [AUC] 0.928, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.892–0.946), surpassing the mean Cr/BUN ratio(AUC 0.740, 95% CI 0.663–0.819) and mean transferrin levels(AUC 0.653, 95% CI 0.574–0.733).CONCLUSION: Independent risk factors for ICU-AW include female sex, advanced age, PN, MV, lower BMI, and elevated BUN and Cr levels. EEN may potentially delay ICU-AW onset, and the PAB/CRP ratio may be an effective diagnostic marker for this condition.展开更多

In this letter, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an enhanced long-distance weak signal transmission method assisted by weak measurement. Performing heterodyne detection and light intensity compensation on two nearly symmetric post-selected paths, the method enables real-time estimation of a time-varying phase while maintaining robustness against technical noises proportional to light intensity or photon number, detector common-mode noise, and significant attenuation over long-distance transmission. Experimental results indicate a potential phase sensitivity at the level of 10-8rad even with a signal light intensity attenuation of 48.1 d B. Potentially, combining the adaptive adjustment strategy, the method may provide a viable solution in remote weak signal detection and extraction,thereby contributing to optical integrated communication and sensing.展开更多
