[Treatment approaches for affected eyes in hospitalized patients with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma: a multicenter retrospective analysis].

To investigate the treatment approaches for attacking eyes in patients with clinical acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG) and their alignment with the recommendations in the . A cross-sectional study was conducted, including medical records of consecutive inpatients diagnosed with APACG from 22 ophthalmic centers nationwide during three periods: September 7, 2020, to January 6, 2021; September 7, 2021, to January 6, 2022; and September 7, 2022, to January 6, 2023. For patients meeting the inclusion criteria in both eyes, the right eye was uniformly selected for analysis.

From Support Vector Machines to Neural Networks: Advancing Automated Velopharyngeal Dysfunction Detection in Patients With Cleft Palate.

Background: The generation of intelligible speech is the single most important outcome after cleft palate repair. The development of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) compromises the outcome, and the burden of VPD remains largely unknown in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To scale up VPD care in these areas, we continue to explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for automatic detection of VPD from speech samples alone.

Peritoneal Lavage Cytology Predicts Peritoneal Metastasis and is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Patients with Stage II-III Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Peritoneal lavage cytology (PLC) is used to detect peritoneal micrometastases in gastrointestinal malignancies, but its prognostic value in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains controversial, particularly in stage II-III. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of PLC in predicting postoperative outcomes and peritoneal metastasis risk among patients with stage II-III CRC, thereby facilitating individualized treatment strategies.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 375 patients with stage II-III CRC who underwent curative resection with standardized intraoperative PLC between January 2017 and August 2018.

Cooperative Design of Magnesium Ions with Cations or Anions in 2D VS Electrodes.

Two-dimensional vanadium disulfide (VS) is widely used in electrode materials for aqueous batteries but still suffers from limited capacity and rate. We designed an interlayer reaction based on VS in synergy of Mg with conventional cations or anions (H, NH, OH, NO, F, Cl, and SO) (dividing these ions' workings into dual-ion batteries, Mg-anion co-(de)intercalation, and gap-filling). Relatively more suitable paired ions were recommended for each of the three mechanisms.

Review of Chemical Components, Pharmacological Effects, Clinical Applications, and Processing Methods of Rubi Fructus (Fupenzi).

Fupenzi is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with unique nutritional and medicinal value. It has a history of over a thousand years as a medicine-food homologous herb and is widely used in clinical practice. To provide a reference for further research and clinical application of Fupenzi, this article reviews its chemical components, pharmacological effects, clinical applications, and processing methods by consulting domestic and foreign literatures.
