    Abstract The effects of health and nursing education are fundamental and essential in achieving the desired quality of life. In recent years, the impact of health and nursing education and self-management ability in many diseases, including kidney patients and those undergoing dialysis and hemodialysis, have been highly regarded. Studies have shown that modern nursing training and self-management ability have an influential role in the treatment process of hemodialysis patients. In general, self-management is a common term in health education and includes symptom management, treatment principles, consequences, and lifestyle changes to maintain and improve quality of life. Planning and continuity of care are necessary for self-management, and the set of these factors is an important and effective issue in kidney and hemodialysis patients and has caused hope, encouragement, and encouragement to more and more patients, improving their quality of life and correct use of healthcare services. In this study, we investigated some health management parameters in the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. The results of this study showed that family support, self-management of personnel, and the nursing system have a positive and significant correlation with the quality of life in these patients (p=0.002). This means that family and social support along with the modern nursing system and self-management can lead to an increase in the quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Also, the results of polymorphism analysis in the GATM locus related to chronic kidney disease showed that the frequency of the A allele in SNP rs2453533-GATM is higher in CKD patients independent of dialysis (non-dialysis) compared to healthy people. Also, the intronic C allele of SNP rs4293393 (UMOD) was more common in healthy subjects than in CKD patients, and the intronic T allele of SNP rs9895661 (BCAS3) is associated with a decrease in eGFRcys and eGFRcrea.

    Abstract As an inherent problem in coherent imaging systems, the existence of speckle noise results in SAR images with strong signal-dependent variance and seriously hinders the related properties estimation and the image interpretation. Among many filtering methods, nonlocal means (NLM) have been proven to be effective in reducing noise while preserving details. However, traditional NLM filters still face two core problems: 1) it is difficult for homogeneous pixels selection to construct a patch adaptive to local structure for preventing the omission phenomenon; 2) most central pixel value estimators are still at the stage of suppressing the blurring effect rather than eliminating the wrongly selected heterogeneous pixels. To overcome these two problems in the (Pol)(In)SAR image denoising, this paper proposes a homogeneity measure-based nonlocal (HoMeNL) filtering framework based on the following three innovations: 1) to sufficiently select homogeneous pixels in the patch-wise matching processing, the shape-adaptive (SA) patch can be selected from multiple preset patches with the one-to-many matching strategy; 2) as a general extension of the Lee estimator in (Pol)(In)SAR image denoising, the homogeneity measure (HoMe)-based estimator can achieve an optimal bias-variance tradeoff for the central pixel value; 3) the highlight of the proposed method is that the iterative re-weighted (IRW) estimation combines the residuals statistics and the homogeneity measure to adaptively locate and remove the wrongly selected heterogeneous pixels. Simulated and real experimental results show that the proposed filtering framework owns a superior performance than most state-of-art filters in three aspects of noise reduction, detail enhancement, and coherence magnitude estimation.

    Abstract Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have attracted major global concerns because some of them are environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic. Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) have been well-characterized in water, soil, and sediment; however, fluorotelomer alcohols and perfluoroalkane sulfonamido substances have been overlooked. In this study, concentrations of three fluorotelomer alcohols and four perfluoroalkane sulfonamido substances were determined in the air at nine locations representing urban, rural-urban transect, and urban areas in the Pearl River Delta region, China to investigate their seasonal and spatial distributions and potential sources. At least two of the targeted PFASs were detected in all air samples in the Pearl River Delta region, with concentrations ranging from 371 pg/sampler to 18700 pg/sampler. Fluorotelomer alcohols were dominant compounds (contributing 46% to the ∑

    Abstract The distributed scatterer (DS) interferometry (DSI) technology is a powerful geodetic tool for measuring the deformation over abundant land covers. As a state-of-the-art DSI technology, the SqueeSAR approach considered the statistical behavior of the decorrelated DS and proposed the phase triangulation algorithm (PTA) as the pioneering implementation of the phase linking (PL) theory to estimate the equivalent single-reference (ESR) phases from all interferometric combinations. Subsequently, many advanced estimators of the systematic phase series have been introduced. Interestingly, this paper has demonstrated that the utilization of weakly coherent interferometric pairs is not conducive to the theoretical accuracy improvement of the PL theory in case of the fast decorrelation scenario. Moreover, the reduction of the small baseline scales will worsen the positive definite degree of the time series coherence matrix, which makes the ill-posed solution problem more serious. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel adaptive PL (AdpPL) method integrating the following two innovations for mapping surface deformation: 1) in terms of the interferometric pair selection optimization (IPSO), this paper performs the homogeneity measure-based IPSO (HoMeIPSO) method to remove the lowly coherent candidate subset progressively and select the moderate interferometric pairs adaptively; 2) in terms of the robust parameter estimation, an adaptive regularization (AdpReg) approach suggests selecting an optimal damping factor according to the minimum fitting error of all interferogram observables. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can restore the systematic phase series more clearly and detect the deformation area with spatially highly dynamic characteristics successfully.

Fluorotelomer alcohols were dominant compounds (contributing 46% to the ∑₇PFAS concentration on average) in the atmosphere in the Pearl River Delta region. The total concentrations of the seven targeted PFASs were significantly higher in summer than in other seasons in urban areas. PFAS concentrations were positively related to the population density in the Pearl River Delta region. Local diffusive emission and long range transport could be sources of the seven PFASs in the air in the Pearl River Delta region.

    Abstract Introduction: Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is an advanced ultrasound technique that portrays microcirculation. Its clinical applications have been studied in various diseases, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) i.e. the most common entrapment neuropathy. This scoping review explores the role of SMI in diagnosing CTS or the assessment of relevant neural structures.
    Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, Embase and Web of Science) up to 26 September 2023. Two independent authors conducted the literature search, quality assessment, and data extraction.
    Results: This review includes seven studies comprising 385 wrists. SMI consistently revealed increased intraneural vascularity in the median nerves of patients with CTS compared to healthy individuals. While SMI demonstrated higher sensitivity than traditional Doppler methods for detecting CTS, its specificity was somewhat lower. Combining SMI with B-mode ultrasound appears to enhance the diagnostic accuracy for CTS. However, the relationship between SMI findings and CTS severity remains unclear.
    Conclusions: This review highlighted the ability of SMI to provide detailed vascular structures in both healthy wrists and those with CTS. Additional research is crucial to determine the typical SMI findings of the carpal tunnel and within that context, tailor more precise diagnostic/therapeutic applications for the CTS population.
