Prevalence and influence factors of hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: a Meta-analysis by TANG Yuhan, LUO Xinyu

“…The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of HE in patients after TIPS was 31%[95%CI(28%, 34%)], and age [OR=1.22, 95%CI(1.15, 1.29)], MELD score [OR=1.46, 95%CI(1.29, 1.65)], preoperative blood creatinine [OR=1.27, 95%CI(1.14, 1.41)], Child-Pugh classification [OR=2.83, 95%CI(1.56, 5.13)], preoperative blood ammonia [OR=1.25, 95%CI(1.18, 1.33)], Child-Pugh score [OR=1.21, 95%CI(1.08, 1.35)], preoperative bilirubin [OR=1.35, 95%CI(1.11, 1.65)], preoperative sodium [OR=1.30, 95%CI(1.16, 1.45)], and a history of preoperative HE [OR=2.00, 95%CI(1.06, 3.76)] were the influence factors for the development of HE in patients after TIPS.Conclusion The incidence of HE in post-TIPS patients is high, and clinicians should identify and intervene early to minimize or delay the occurrence of HE in patients after the TIPS procedure referring to the influence factors.…”

Mathematical model of errors in measuring the interframe displacement of a measuring mark on an observation object using video from a WEB camera by O.Ye. Gorshenin, M.O. Gorshenin

“…For low‑cost webcams, the maximum admissible pixel illumination and the RMS sensor noise-voltage values absent from manufacturer data are obtained through an original estimation procedure. The paper also evaluates inter‑row signal accumulation for a marker consisting of vertical ticks of scale and shows that, under adequate artificial lighting, such accumulation is counter‑productive because it leads to the increase of the mean value of matrix‑fluctuation noise. …”

Revolutionizing Impact of Point of Care Ultrasound (Pocus): A Game-Changer for Decision Making at Bedside Especially in Emergency Obstetrics and Gynecology by Sadia Shoukat

“…A recent multicenter cohort study by Knights et al. demonstrated that POCUS in the third trimester reduced undiagnosed breech presentations at term from 16.5% to 3.5% (p < 0.001), significantly improving perinatal outcomes.3 In gynecology, Point-of-Care Ultrasound aids in diagnosing ovarian cysts, fibroids, torsion, and pelvic inflammatory disease, often avoiding invasive procedures.4,5 Vinayak et al. showed that training midwives in rural areas to use Point-of-Care Ultrasound with tablet platforms improved diagnostic capabilities in low-resource settings.2 Similarly, Prasad et al. emphasized the importance of training midwives to determine fetal presentation using handheld devices, calling it "the need of the hour" to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity.6 However, successful implementation hinges on proper training to ensure accurate image acquisition and interpretation. …”
