Article Abstract
Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) improves postoperative outcomes in various surgeries, but the optimal fluid choice between balanced salt solutions (BSS) and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) remains debated. This meta-analysis compared postoperative outcomes of GDFT using BSS versus 6 % HES in elective major abdominal surgery. Comprehensive database searches identified eight RCTs (1739 patients) published between 2000 and 2024. No significant differences were found in overall postoperative complications [RR 1.04 (95 % CI 0.90-1.20); p = 0.59], including renal, cardiovascular, respiratory complications, or mortality. However, BSS required significantly higher intraoperative fluid volumes [SMD 0.61 (95 % CI 0.42-0.80); p < 0.001] and led to greater postoperative fluid balance [SMD 0.39 (95 % CI 0.20-0.59); p < 0.001]. 6 % HES should not be used routinely. GDFT using BSS achieves the same outcomes at a lower cost and without the risk of bleeding.

Disordered rock-salt LiVO (DRX-LVO) anode exhibits distinctive 3D Li percolation transport networks, which offers the unique advantage for ultra-charging. However, the existing chemical lithiation preparation routes not only pose safety risks due to the use of highly reactive reagents but also inevitably result in products with poor crystallinity. Investigating the origin, impact, and strategies for crystallinity degradation is pivotal for advancing the industrialization of chemical lithiation.

Taste and smell are critical for food intake and maintaining adequate energy balance, particularly in isolated, confined, and extreme (ICE) environments. Hypoxic conditions, low humidity, and limited chemosensory exposure at Concordia Station in Antarctica may impair taste and smell functions, though research remains scarce. Gustatory and olfactory functions were assessed in 19 participants (39.

Litopenaeus vannamei exhibits strong salinity adaptation; however, its survival and growth are significantly reduced in freshwater environments. To investigate the response mechanisms of L. vannamei to freshwater conditions, gill tissues from shrimp cultured for 30 days in both freshwater and seawater environments were used as experimental material in this study.

Electrochemical CO reduction to formic acid, powered by renewable electricity, enables a sustainable carbon cycle by providing a versatile chemical feedstock and energy carrier. Bismuth-based catalysts are known for their high formate selectivity but face challenges in balancing selectivity and stability at industrial current densities. In this study, we present a two-step approach that combines molten-salt synthesis with in situ reduction to fabricate polycrystalline bismuth catalysts with rich exposed grain boundaries (GB-Bi).
