Published: March 2024

Background: The traditional practice of delaying enteral feeding after pediatric colostomy closure has been a subject of reconsideration in the wake of emerging evidence suggesting the benefits of early enteral nutrition. The hypothesis driving this shift stems from the understanding that early feeding may enhance recovery by improving gut function and reducing hospital stay, which is particularly significant in the pediatric population where rapid return to normal activities and minimizing hospital-associated stress are crucial.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of early enteral feeding versus conventional feeding protocols post-colostomy closure in pediatric patients, focusing on parameters such as the incidence of postoperative complications, the duration of hospital stay, and overall recovery.

Methods: Conducted as a randomized controlled trial at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Children Hospital, Lahore, this study enrolled 70 pediatric patients, evenly divided into two groups: early enteral feeding (Group A) and conventional feeding (Group B). Both groups were meticulously matched for age, weight, and gender to ensure comparability. The study meticulously recorded and analyzed postoperative outcomes including anastomotic leakage, vomiting, upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), wound infections, and other complications using chi-square and t-tests for statistical significance.

Results: The mean age of patients was 6.67 ± 3.42 years, with a balanced distribution between the groups (p = 0.917). In Group A, 8.6% experienced anastomotic leakage compared to 11.4% in Group B; vomiting occurred in 11.4% of Group A and 8.6% of Group B; URTI was noted in 2.9% of Group A versus 14.3% in Group B; wound infection rates were 8.6% for Group A and 14.3% for Group B. The average post-operative hospital stay significantly favored Group A at 4.26 ± 0.43 days versus 7.05 ± 0.32 days for Group B (p = 0.0001).

Conclusion: Early enteral feeding after pediatric colostomy closure significantly reduces the hospital stay without increasing the risk of postoperative complications, suggesting a beneficial role in pediatric surgical recovery. This study supports the integration of early feeding protocols into postoperative care for pediatric colostomy patients, contributing to the evolving practice of pediatric surgery.

Published: March 2024

Background: The timely management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) through primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) significantly impacts patient outcomes. However, the influence of off-hours presentation (nights, weekends, and holidays) on door-to-balloon (D2B) time and clinical outcomes remains a pivotal concern, as it potentially affects the efficiency of care and patient prognosis.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association between off-hours presentation, D2B time, and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI, to identify potential disparities in treatment efficacy and to inform strategies for improving cardiovascular emergency care.
Methods: Conducting a retrospective cross-sectional analysis, this study included 90 patients admitted with STEMI who underwent primary PCI at a tertiary care center between March 2022 and March 2023. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the timing of hospital presentation: off-hours and regular hours. Primary outcomes assessed were D2B time, mortality rates, and incidences of cardiogenic shock and heart failure. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-square tests, and multivariable logistic regression to adjust for potential confounders.
Results: The mean D2B time for patients presenting during off-hours was significantly longer (96.4 ± 12.3 minutes) compared to those presenting during regular hours (84.6 ± 9.8 minutes, p<0.001). No statistically significant differences were observed in mortality rates (off-hours 4.4% vs. regular hours 6.7%, p=0.155), cardiogenic shock (off-hours 6.7% vs. regular hours 4.4%, p=0.351), or heart failure (off-hours 8.9% vs. regular hours 6.7%, p=0.214). Multivariable analysis confirmed off-hours presentation as an independent predictor of prolonged D2B time (coefficient 11.8, 95% CI 8.2-15.5).
Conclusion: Off-hours presentation is associated with significantly longer D2B times in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, underscoring the need for healthcare systems to address the disparities in care delivery during off-hours. However, no significant differences in short-term clinical outcomes were observed, suggesting that factors beyond D2B time contribute to patient prognosis. Further studies are warranted to explore comprehensive strategies to optimize care irrespective of presentation time.

Real-Time Detection of Drill Pipe Joints Using Improved YOLOv5x Model Applied to Drilling Operation Images
Authors: Tang Fanyi , Zhang Qizhi
Published: March 2024

It is widely known that pipe assembly and disassembly still lacks automation. To enhance drilling efficiency, we propose an autonomous detection and positioning model based on improved YOLOv5x for drill pipe joints. Firstly, we use Activate or Not (ACON) activation function and Convolution Block Attention Module (CBAM) to enhance feature extraction and representation ability. Then, the loss function is changed from Complete IoU (CIOU) loss to Scale-Invariant IoU (SIOU) loss, which increases the accuracy of the bounding box regression. Finally, the predict heads are tailored to be more effective in detecting tiny targets. Following network training, the final drill pipe joint detection model, based on the improved YOLOv5x, achieved an average accuracy of 99.10%, a 3.5% improvement over the base YOLOv5x algorithm. The proposed method effectively promotes the intelligence of oil drilling equipment by quickly and accurately detecting drill pipe joints, consequently enhancing drilling operation efficiency.

Authors: Wang Lang , Xu Yun , Li Qi , Gao Liang , Xu Yuchen
Published: March 2024

At present, the size measurement of industrial workpieces is mainly manual measurement and CMM measurement, which cannot meet the requirements of high precision, high efficiency and low error rate in industrial production at the same time. In order to solve the above problems, this paper uses monocular vision technology to propose an optimization scheme of workpiece size measurement accuracy based on machine vision, which takes the height and declination Angle between the camera lens and the workpiece as variables. Firstly, the image was captured by camera calibration correction, and morphological methods such as gray-scale, denoising, expansion and corrosion were used for image pre-processing. Secondly, features were extracted using double-threshold canny edge detection algorithm and connected domain algorithm. Finally, the bearing seat size was measured using the minimum external rectangle algorithm. The experiment shows that the higher the distance between the camera lens and the stage, the larger the error is when the image information can be collected completely. The greater the Angle between the center of the camera lens and the center of the workpiece, the greater the error; The device not only meets the precision requirements, but also has the advantages of fast response speed, which can meet the needs of industrial applications.

Authors: Zhong Kexin , Ye Jianmu
Published: March 2024

This paper empirically examines the impact of digital transformation on business credit, using data from 2013-2022 as a sample. It also studies the impact of outward investment on the relationship between the two in the context of the double cycle. The study demonstrates that the digital transformation of enterprises has a significant positive impact on the availability of business credit. The effect of digital transformation on improving business credit of enterprises is stronger when the outward investment of the business credit market is in the upward stage. The outbound merger and acquisition mode has a more significant moderating effect on digital transformation and business credit. The analysis of heterogeneity reveals that digital transformation has a more significant enhancement effect on the business credit of non-high-tech industries, non-state-owned enterprises, and enterprises with high equity concentration that are at a financing disadvantage. Additionally, it is found that digital transformation can improve information transparency, reduce agency costs, and alleviate financing constraints, thereby enhancing the level of business credit financing for enterprises. The aforementioned findings offer valuable theoretical references and managerial insights for the implementation of digital transformation in enterprises and research related to outward investment in the context of the double-cycle.

Authors: Wang Yikun
Published: March 2024

Autism is a form of disorder having high prevalent rate in more than 80 nations globally, and there have been few studies that examine this disorder from a cultural perspective. In this literature review, an overview of autism’s awareness and culture, citing relevant instances from both advanced and less advanced nations is provided. From the result, it was discovered that ASD are expressed in diverse ways based on various cultures. The level of understanding and perception of caregivers about ASD are influenced by demographic factors such as social economic status, gender, and educational level. Notwithstanding, these factors appear to impact residents of advanced nations since they not only already have a system that is stable and complete but also have legislation for ASD. Contrastingly, individuals residing in developing nations that are witnessing resource imbalance, likewise encounter relative lack of ASD perception, screening and diagnosis. To provide relatively affordable and accessible service to children suffering from ASD across the globe, it is necessary to intensify effort in the future.
