There was no obvious sound change related to the injury of the external branch of superior laryngeal nerve in postoperative patients. ConclusionFor the modified endoscopic thyroidectomy via gasless unilateral subclavian approach combined with intraoperative nerve monitoring, excellent anatomical protection of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve can be obtained.
Exercise intervention is an important non-pharmacological intervention for various diseases, and establishing precise exercise load assessment techniques can improve the quality of exercise intervention and the efficiency of disease prevention and control. Based on data collection from wearable devices, this study conducts nonlinear optimization and empirical verification of the original "Fitness-Fatigue Model". By constructing a time-varying attenuation function and specific coefficients, this study develops an optimized mathematical model that reflects the nonlinear characteristics of training responses. Thirteen participants underwent 12 weeks of moderate-intensity continuous cycling, three times per week. For each training session, external load (actual work done) and internal load (heart rate variability index) data were collected for each individual to conduct a performance comparison between the optimized model and the original model. The results show that the optimized model demonstrates a significantly improved overall goodness of fit and superior predictive ability. In summary, the findings of this study can support dynamic adjustments to participants' training programs and aid in the prevention and control of chronic diseases.
Based on the capacitance coupling principle, we studied a capacitive way of non-contact electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, making it possible to obtain ECG on the condition that a patient is habilimented. Conductive fabric with a good electrical conductivity was used as electrodes. The electrodes fixed on a bed sheet is presented in this paper. A capacitance comes into being as long as the body gets close to the surface of electrode, sandwiching the cotton cushion, which acts as dielectric. The surface potential generated by heart is coupled to electrodes through the capacitance. After being processed, the signal is suitable for monitoring. The test results show that 93.5% of R wave could be detected for 9 volunteers and ECG with good signal quality could be acquired for 2 burnt patients. Non-contact ECG is harmless to skin, and it has advantages for those patients to whom stickup electrodes are not suitable. On the other hand, it is convenient to use and good for permanent monitoring.
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has been more widely used in small molecule agents, such as immuno-suppressants, antiepileptic drugs and antibiotics, with less attention in the field of therapeutic biological agents. Monoclonal drugs represented by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors have shown a good relationship between exposure and efficacy in clinical studies. There are corresponding guidelines and consensus for the recommendations of TDM based on current research evidence. Therefore, this paper introduced the current evidence, strategies and considerations for TDM in the optimal treatment of adalimumab from the perspective of adalimumab TDM to provide references for the clinical practice of adalimumab TDM.
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect on gastroesophageal reflux and gastric emptying in the different route of gastroesophageal anastomosis objectively after esophagectomy for patients with midesophageal carcinoma. Methods Forty patients with midesophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups. Esophageal bed group (n=20): the gastroesophageal anastomosis were performed while the stomach were pulled on through the esophageal bed after esophagectomy; endothoracic group (n=20): gastroesophageal anastomosis were performed while the stomach were pulled on in the thoracic cavity. Ten persons had no disease of digestive system and healthy volunteers were recruited as normal control group. 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and radioisotope gastric emptying checkup were carried out in all experimental subjects 3 months after operation, so as to observe the changes of gastroesophageal reflux and gastric emptying. Results All of the patients’s operation were success. And no anastomotic leakage and no anastomotic stenosis. Three months after operation, the patients in both operation groups were with different level of reflux. DeMeester total appraise score, the times of regurgitation of gastric juice in 24h, gt;5 min reflux frequency, the longest time of keep reflux, pHlt;4.00 total time and pHlt;4.00 of total time percent, these targets in both operation groups were higher than those in control group (Plt;0.01) DeMeester total appraise score, the times of regurgitation of gastric juice in 24 hours, the longest time of keeping reflux, pHlt;4.00 of total time and pHlt;4.00 of total time percent in esophageal bed group were lower than those in endothoracic group(Plt;0.01). The recent period of gastric emptying percentage (GE) in both operative groups were lower than that in normal control group. GE in esophageal bed group experimental meal in the stomach after entering the 30,60,90,120,180 and 240 min were higher than those in endothoracic group. Conclusion After the operation of esophagogastric anastomosis through esophageal bed in upper aortic site,gastroesophageal reflux and delayed gastric emptying exist objectively, However, the technique is superior to the traditional technique to reduce the extent of gastroesophageal reflux and delayed gastric emptying, its mechanism might be the result of mechanical factors.

After nursing intervention, the scores of anxiety and depression in the two groups were significantly decreased, but the decline was greater in the B group (P<0.05). The active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction of the B group were significantly higher than those of the A group (P<0.05).ConclusionCompared with conventional nursing, health education based on process communication mode can significantly improve the success rate of VEEG monitoring in elderly patients, alleviate the negative emotions of patients, improve the active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction.
Power supply plays a key role in ensuring animal robots to obtain effective stimulation. To extending the stimulating time, there is a need to apply photovoltaic cells and monitor their parameter variations, which can help operators to obtain the optimal stimulation strategy. In this paper, an online monitoring system of photovoltaic cells for animal robot stimulators was presented. It was composed of battery information sampling circuit, multi-channel neural signal generator, power module and human-computer interaction interface. When the signal generator was working, remote navigation control of animal robot could be achieved, and the battery voltage, current, temperature and electricity information was collected through the battery information sampling circuit and displayed on the human-computer interaction system in real time. If there was any abnormal status, alarm would be activated. The battery parameters were obtained by charging and discharging test. The battery life under different light intensity and the stimulation effect of neural signal generator were tested. Results showed that the sampling errors of battery voltage, current and electric quantity were less than 15 mV, 5 mA and 6 mAh, respectively. Compared with the system without photovoltaic cells, the battery life was extended by 148% at the light intensity of 78 320 lx, solving the battery life problem to some extent. When animal robot was stimulated with this system, left and right turns could be controlled to complete with the success rate more than 80%. It will help researchers to optimize animal robot control strategies through the parameters obtained in this system.
In order to conduct surface monitoring of the three-dimensional spine morphology of the human body in daily life, a spine morphology measuring method using "single camera, multi-view" to construct stereo vision is proposed. The images of the back of the human body with landmarks of spinous process are captured from multiple angles by moving a single camera, and based on the "Zhang Zhengyou calibration method" and the triangulation principle of binocular stereo vision, the spatial conversion matrices corresponding to each other between all images and the 3D coordinates of the landmarks are calculated. Then the spine evaluation angle used to evaluate the spine morphology is further calculated. The tests’ results showed that the spine evaluation angle error of this method is within ±3°, and the correlation between the results and the X-ray film Cobb angles is 0.871. The visual detection algorithm used in this paper is non-radioactive, and because only one camera is used in the measurement process and there is no need to pre-set the camera's shooting pose, the operation is simple. The research results of this article can be used in a mobile phone-based intelligent detection system, which will be suitable for the group survey of scoliosis in communities, schools, families and other occasions, as well as for the long-term follow-up of confirmed patients. This will provide a reference for doctors to diagnose the condition, predict the development trend of the condition, and formulate treatment plans.
