Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of home skin temperature management in winter on the complications of expander and skin expansion efficiency in ear reconstruction patients.
Methods: A total of 58 patients were involved and divided into control group and experimental group according to the different postoperative nursing methods. The control group was given routine nursing, and the experimental group received additional home hot compress guidance. At the end of expansion, complications, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, expansion time, and satisfaction score were used to evaluate the effect of the intervention.
Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly-lower wound-related complications rate (7.14% vs 28.57%), lower VAS score (2.68 ± 1.19 vs 4.32 ± 1.02), and shorter expansion time (82.36 ± 8.69 vs 89.79 ± 9.87 days). Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group (92.86% vs 67.86%), < .05.
Conclusions: During skin soft tissue expansion, home skin temperature management through hot compress can effectively reduce the incidence of complications, improve the expansion efficiency, reduce the pain of patients, and ultimately improve the overall satisfaction of patients.

Oxidized high-density lipoprotein associates with cardiometabolic dysfunction in coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome.

Background: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) function, rather than its concentration, plays a crucial role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Diminished HDL antioxidant properties, indicated by elevated oxidized HDL (nHDL) and diminished paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity, may contribute to vascular dysfunction and inflammation. Data on these associations in CAD patients, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), remain limited.

This research paper explores the role of speaker, listener and real-time social attention for pronoun comprehension in autistic and nonautistic children in northeast United States. We assessed the pronoun comprehension of 22 autistic children (average age of 62 months, range 46-80 months) and 22 nonautistic children (average age 44 months, range 30-57 months) matched on expressive vocabulary scores. We evaluated first- and second-person possessive pronoun comprehension ("my" and "your") using a game in which two experimenters hid stickers and provided clues to their location by providing a verbal clue (e.

Introduction: Patients with advanced solid tumors may be considered for early phase clinical trials investigating the safety, tolerability, and dosing of experimental therapies. Optimizing participant selection is critical to maximize clinical benefit and meet trial endpoints with fewer participants. One in six participants does not meet routine life expectancy requirements (>3 months), highlighting the need for improved prognostication.

This experiment evaluated the effects of supplementing yeast culture ( ) on in situ ruminal degradability, rumen fermentation and microbiota responses of heifers consuming a forage-based diet. Twelve ruminally-cannulated Angus-influenced heifers were ranked by body weight ( 180 ± 4 kg) and assigned to 4 groups of 3 heifers each. Groups were enrolled in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square design containing 3 periods of 21 d and 14-d washout intervals.

During disease, there may be increased local demands for zinc (Zn) and vitamin A to support pathogen response. This study evaluates the effects of intranasal Zn and vitamin A treatments on steers experimentally infected with bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens, bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and , hypothesizing that steers treated with Zn and vitamin A (VA) will have improved recovery to BRD challenge. Forty-eight Angus crossbred steers (333 ± 4.
