Abstract Aims To estimate the spatiotemporal patterns in infective endocarditis (IE) burden along with its attributable risk factors at national, regional, and global levels, which is essential to optimize targeted prevention, clinical practice, research. Methods results Based on all available data sources, incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of IE 204 countries regions from 1990 2019 were reconstructed by Global Burden Disease Study using Cause Death Ensemble model,...
Background Neonatal infections, especially neonatal sepsis, are one of the major causes incidence and mortality in pediatrics. However, global burden sepsis other infections (NSNIs) remains unclear. Methods From 2019 disease study, we collected annual incident cases, deaths, age-standardized rates (ASIRs), deaths (ASDRs) NSNIs past 30 years. Analysis indicators included percentage relative changes cases estimated (EAPCs) ASIRs ASDRs. Correlations were assessed between EAPCs ASDRs social...
Abstract Study Objectives Light is the main time cue for human circadian system. Sleep and light are intrinsically linked; exposure patterns can influence sleep patterns. However, metrics quantifying regularity lacking, relationship between underexplored. We developed new demonstrated their utility in adolescents, across school term vacation. Methods Daily sleep/wake were measured using wrist actigraphy 75 adolescents (54% male, 17.17 ± 0.83 years) over 2 weeks of a subsequent 2-week The...
The effects of yeast culture and fibrolytic enzyme preparation (containing cellulase xylanase) on in vitro fermentation characteristics rice straw, wheat maize stover, stover silage were examined using an gas production technique. Four levels supplements (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 g/kg straw DM, respectively) tested a 4 x factorial arrangement. Supplementation increased the cumulative production, theoretical maximum rate IVDMD, OM disappearance (IVOMD), decreased lag time for each type straw....
In this paper, we report a nanosecond 16 × silicon electro-optic switch chip based on Benes architecture. The adopts dual-ring-assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometers as the basic building blocks. each element, both TiN microheaters and PIN diodes are integrated for ring resonance alignment high-speed switching, respectively. A transfer-matrix-based theoretical model is established to analyze performances. characterized by measuring optical transmission spectra quadrature phase-shift keying...
Abstract Background Sleep disturbance is common in gestational parents during pregnancy and postpartum periods. This study evaluated the feasibility efficacy of a scalable cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) sleep intervention tailored for these Methods two-arm, parallel-group, single-blind, superiority randomised controlled trial. Nulliparous females without severe medical/psychiatric conditions were 1:1 to CBT or attention- time-matched control. All participants received 1 h telephone...
Defence personnel need to be agile and responsive in their assessment of strategic tactical tasks. Sleep circadian disruptions, however, can compromise personnel's readiness. Digital health technologies have the potential provide sleep management advice but designed with active involvement from stakeholders communities. This study explored challenges shift work a cohort defence identify end-user expectations for smartphone application. Eight working Air Traffic Control Australian Force...
This study aims to create a radiomics nomogram using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) accurately identify symptomatic carotid plaques. Between January 2018 and May 2023, data from 416 patients were collected two centers for retrospective analysis. Center 1 provided the training (n = 213) internal validation 93) sets, center 2 supplied external set 110). Plaques imaged at 40 keV, 70 100 keV outlined, selected features used establish model. The...
Understanding the spatiotemporal variation in household air pollution from solid fuels (HAP)-related ischemic heart disease (IHD) burden on a global scale 1990 to 2019 is essential reduce IHD burden, as well control HAP exposure. Based Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, numbers and age-standardized rates mortality disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (ASMR ASDR) attributed were analyzed by sex age at global, regional, national levels. The estimated annual percentage change was calculated...
To find the potential relation between changes in retinal large vessels and terminal using colour Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to compare respective advantages of CDFI OCTA evaluating vascular retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients.A prospective series case study was conducted enrol RP patients age-matched controls, who were, respectively, imaged by OCTA. Repeatability reproducibility both were performed among healthy volunteers. The central artery...
Abstract Study Objectives Current evidence suggests that cortisol levels are bi-directionally associated with sleep. However, the daily, naturalistic cortisol-sleep associations remain unclear, as current is mostly cross-sectional. This study tested whether pre-sleep predicts sleep duration and quality, these parameters predict following day’s diurnal slope using a 15-day intensive longitudinal design electroencephalographic measures saliva sampling. Methods Ninety-five young adults (Mage =...
A metagenomic library of China Holstein cow rumen microbes was constructed and screened for novel gene cluster. feruloyl esterase (FAE) identified with a length 789 bp encoded protein displaying 56% identity to known sequences. The functionally expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), the total molecular weight recombined 32.4 kDa. purified enzyme showed broad specificity against four methyl esters hydroxycinnamic acids high activity (259.5 U/mg) ferulate at optimum conditions (pH 8.0, 40...
An interesting aspect of corruption is that its damaging effects on economic performance differ significantly across countries. In this paper, we show if a central government collects sufficient taxes, it can curtail by paying for local officials. alternative way to reduce introduce competition among Difference in taxing ability and the magnitude officials help explain heterogeneous
To describe trajectories of daily perceived sleep need and debt, examine if cumulative debt predicts next-day affect.Daily affect were measured over two school weeks vacation (N = 205, 54.1% females, M ± SDage 16.9 0.87 years). Each day, participants wore actigraphs self-reported the amount needed to function well next day (i.e. need), duration, high- low-arousal positive negative (PA, NA). Cumulative was calculated as weighted average difference between duration past 3 days. Cross-lagged,...
Summary We examined bidirectional, temporal associations between daily sleep and affect under naturally restricted (school) unrestricted (vacation) opportunities, while incorporating valence (positive/negative) arousal (high/low) dimensions of affect. Sleep were measured over 2 weeks school vacation in 205 adolescents (54.1% females, M age = 16.9 years), providing 5,231 days data. Total time efficiency using actigraphy diary. High‐ low‐arousal positive negative self‐reported each afternoon....
Poor sleep, including symptoms of insomnia are common during pregnancy and postpartum periods. sleep the perinatal period is linked to impaired daytime functioning, mood disturbance, risk for chronic insomnia. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) consistently shown be efficacious in treating insomnia, but it largely inaccessible new mothers, surprisingly, not part current care. This study aims evaluate feasibility efficacy a scalable CBT-based intervention better quality.In this single-blind...
