ERCC1 which affects lipids metabolism and actin dynamics in coal workers’ pneumoconiosis is a candidate biomarker for early warning and diagnosis

Plos.org 

by Hao Deng, Yan Chen, Mali Wu, Tao Zhang

The single-nucleotide polymorphisms of genes related to DNA damage repair and inflammasomes and mutated gene expression in coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) were analysed to identify the risk factors of CWP and potential biomarkers for early warning and diagnosis. Further, mutated gene pathways were analysed based on proteome and metabolome. Han Chinese male subjects were randomly selected and divided into 4 or 5 groups according to the process of CWP.

Designing a new integrated control solution for electric power steering systems based on a combination of nonlinear techniques

Plos.org 

by Tuan Anh Nguyen

An EPS system is used to improve the stability and safety of the car when steering while also simplifying the steering process. This article introduces a novel control solution for the EPS system called BSSMCPID. This algorithm combines two nonlinear techniques, BS and SMC, with the input signal corrected by a PID technique. This algorithm provides three new contributions compared to existing algorithms: reducing system errors and eliminating phase differences, ensuring... Читать дальше...

Plos.org 

by Na Wang, Lili Gong, Chunmei Ye

Objective

To retrospectively analyze the clinical practicability and value of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive catheterization combined with compound Phellodendron Phellodendri liquid in the treatment of breast abscess during lactation.

Methods

139 patients with lactational breast abscess discharged from our hospital from January 2021 to November 2023 were selected. We divided them into groups according to treatment methods, analyzed whether... Читать дальше...

Visuomotor predictors of interception

Plos.org 

by Inmaculada Márquez, Mario Treviño

Intercepting moving targets is a fundamental skill in human behavior, influencing various domains such as sports, gaming, and other activities. In these contexts, precise visual processing and motor control are crucial for adapting and navigating effectively. Nevertheless, there are still some gaps in our understanding of how these elements interact while intercepting a moving target. This study explored the dynamic interplay among eye movements, pupil size... Читать дальше...

Comparison of the deformity reduction device (DRD) mini and the Slocum jig in the precision of torsional correction during distal femoral osteotomies in small to medium breed dogs

Plos.org 

by Stephanie K. Steuri, Cassio Ferrigno, Adrien Hespel, Xiaojuan Zhu

Previous studies have compared the use of the Slocum- jig to the deformity reduction device (DRD) jig for the correction of distal femoral deformities of varying degrees in the frontal plane. The objective of the current study is to further investigate the use of the mini DRD jig in comparison to the Slocum jig for correction of varying degrees of torsional deformities of the distal femur. Femoral models (n = 60) were developed... Читать дальше...

Comparison of regulatory approval system for medicines in emergency among Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and China

Plos.org 

by Kazuki Edo, Masahide Kawano, Hideki Maeda

The approval of pharmaceuticals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a global concern, and during emergencies, emergency approval or authorization systems that enable the rapid use of unapproved drugs to maintain national health are essential. However, there is limited research comparing these systems across countries and their effects. This cross-sectional study examined such systems in Japan (JP), Europe (EU), the United Kingdom (UK), and... Читать дальше...

Comparison of prewarming plus intraoperative warming with intraoperative warming alone in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracic or abdominal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Plos.org 

by Ni Ding, Jingjing Yang, Cuiying Wu

Objective

Prewarming has been recommended to reduce intraoperative hypothermia. However, the evidence is unclear. This review examined if prewarming can prevent intraoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgeries.

Methods

PubMed, CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to 15th January 2024. The primary outcome of interest was the difference in intraoperative core temperature. Читать дальше...

Thermal phenomena and size effects of Mg powder in combustion process

Plos.org 

by Ki-Hun Nam, Jung Kyu Park, Jun-Sik Lee

Magnesium is a combustible metal that poses various safety risks, including fires and explosions. However, there are limited safety measures available to prevent and respond to potential fires and explosion incidents in the metal industry. In this study, the combustion process of Mg fires was closely examined using infrared thermal imaging, focusing on the effects of Mg powder size. For the experiment, Mg powder was burned by increasing the temperature... Читать дальше...

Sequential label shift detection in classification data: An application to dengue fever

Plos.org 

by Ciaran Evans, Max G’Sell

Classifiers have been developed to help diagnose dengue fever in patients presenting with febrile symptoms. However, classifier predictions often rely on the assumption that new observations come from the same distribution as training data. If the population prevalence of dengue changes, as would happen with a dengue outbreak, it is important to raise an alarm as soon as possible, so that appropriate public health measures can be taken and also so that the classifier can be re-calibrated.

Amygdalin prevents multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-induced lung epithelial cell injury by regulating inflammation and oxidative stress

Plos.org 

by Zhaolei Wang, Haixia Du, Haofang Wan, Jiehong Yang, Haitong Wan

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe bacterial pneumonia. Amygdalin is the main active pharmaceutical ingredient of bitter almond, which has broad-spectrum antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and immunomodulatory effects. It is also the main ingredient of Yinhua Pinggan granule, which is commonly used to moisten the lung and relieve cough. However... Читать дальше...

Evidence for five types of fixation during a random saccade eye tracking task and changes in fixation duration as a function of time-on-task

Plos.org 

by Lee Friedman, Oleg V. Komogortsev

Our interest was to evaluate changes in fixation duration as a function of time-on-task (TOT) during a random saccade task. We employed a large, publicly available dataset. The frequency histogram of fixation durations was multimodal and modelled as a Gaussian mixture. For this specific task, we found five fixation types. The “ideal” response would be a single accurate saccade after each target movement, with a typical saccade latency of 200-250 msec,... Читать дальше...

Cognitive correlates of math abilities in autism spectrum disorder

Plos.org 

by Irene Tonizzi, M. Carmen Usai

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the contribution of different cognitive processes to specific math abilities in students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) students. The study involved a group of students with ASD without intellectual disabilities (n = 26) and a group with TD students (n = 52). The two groups aged from six to 20 years old and were matched for age, sex ratio and visuospatial reasoning. To assess math abilities... Читать дальше...
