Image_2_Association Between Myasthenia Gravis and Memory: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.pdf

Objective: The studies have produced contradictory results regarding the association between myasthenia gravis (MG) and cognitive function, especially for the cognitive domains of memory. This meta-analysis was dedicated to exploring the association between MG and memory, which was represented by the immediate recall and delayed recall.Methods: Using the random effects models, this study analyzed memory in MG based on data from the studies retrieved from four electronic databases from inception to February 2021. Disease severity was graded according to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) classification. We defined ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) (MGFA Grade I) as Class I, mild, and moderate generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG) (MGFA Grade IIa, IIb, IIIa, and IIIb) as Class II.Results: In total, eight studies of 274 patients and 211 healthy controls were included. The significant associations were found between MG and memory. Compared with the healthy control group, the patients with MG performed significantly worse in the terms of immediate recall [standardized mean difference (SMD) = −0.65, 95% CI = −0.97 to −0.33, P 2 = 64.1%] and delayed recall (SMD = −0.49, 95% CI = −0.88 to −0.1, P 2 = 76.3%). Compared with the patients with Class I MG, those with Class II MG did not have significantly different scores in immediate recall (SMD = −0.07, 95% CI = −0.35 to 0.21, P = 0.614, I2 = 0%) and delayed recall (SMD = 0.63, 95% CI = −0.29 to 1.55, P = 0.178, I2 = 87.9%).Conclusion: The patients with MG showed lower memory performance, such as both immediate and delayed recall ability. There was no association between the severity of MG and memory. Future studies should address whether these associations are casual and modifiable.</p

Data_Sheet_2_Enhanced Passive Stormwater Infiltration Improves Urban Melia Azedarach Functioning in Dry Season.docx

Urban water management projects involving stormwater harvesting, detention, and infiltration are being increasingly combined with urban greening to support adaptation and resilience to the changing climate. A novel stormwater harvesting device, the TREENET Inlet, intercepts stormwater runoff from roads and soaks it into the soil through a leaky well to provide passive irrigation directly into street tree root zones. This study investigated the effects of stormwater harvesting through these inlet systems on the growth, water-use, leaf-level gas exchange and productivity of white cedar (Melia azedarach) street trees in a semi-arid climate in South Australia. The results indicated that mature trees with TREENET Inlets and leaky wells transpired 17% more water per unit of canopy area per day, on average for about a year, and 21% more during the dry season. White cedar saplings with stormwater harvesting grew 65% more in height and 60% more in diameter at breast height over a 3-year period than saplings without stormwater harvesting. This is consistent with observed 106% greater stomatal conductance and up to 169% greater photosynthesis rate in the dry season for saplings supported by harvested stormwater. This study shows that stormwater harvesting and infiltration by TREENET Inlets provides significant benefit to white cedar trees growing in a suburban street.</p

Data_Sheet_2_Measurement of Human Semicircular Canal Spatial Attitude.ZIP

Located deep in the temporal bone, the semicircular canal is a subtle structure that requires a spatial coordinate system for measurement and observation. In this study, 55 semicircular canal and eyeball models were obtained by segmentation of MRI data. The spatial coordinate system was established by taking the top of the common crus and the bottom of the eyeball as the horizontal plane. First, the plane equation was established according to the centerline of the semicircular canals. Then, according to the parameters of the plane equation, the plane normal vectors were obtained. Finally, the average unit normal vector of each semicircular canal plane was obtained by calculating the average value of the vectors. The standard normal vectors of the and left posterior semicircular canal, superior semicircular canal and lateral semicircular canal were [−0.651, 0.702, 0.287], [0.749, 0.577, 0.324], [−0.017, −0.299, 0.954], [0.660, 0.702, 0.266], [−0.739, 0.588, 0.329], [0.025, −0.279, 0.960]. The different angles for the different ways of calculating the standard normal vectors of the right and left posterior semicircular canal, superior semicircular canal and lateral semicircular canal were 0.011, 0.028, 0.008, 0.011, 0.024, and 0.006 degrees. The technology for measuring the semicircular canal spatial attitudes in this study are reliable, and the measurement results can guide vestibular function examinations and help with guiding the diagnosis and treatment of BPPV.</p

Silver Nanowire-Induced Sensitivity Enhancement of Optical Oxygen Sensors Based on AgNWs–Palladium Octaethylporphine–Poly(methyl methacrylate) Microfiber Mats Prepared by Electrospinning

Sensitivity enhancement of optical oxygen sensors is crucial for the characterization of nearly anoxic systems and oxygen quantification in trace amounts. In this work, for the first time we presented the introduction of silver nanowires (AgNWs) as a sensitivity booster for optical oxygen sensors based on AgNWs–palladium octaethylporphine–poly­(methyl methacrylate) (AgNWs@PdOEP–PMMA) microfiber mats prepared by electrospinning. Herein, a series of sensing microfiber mats with different loading ratios of high aspect ratio AgNWs were fabricated, and the corresponding sensitivity enhancement was systematically investigated. With increasing incorporated ratios, the AgNWs@PdOEP–PMMA-sensing microfiber mats exhibited a swift response (approx. 1.8 s) and a dramatic sensitivity enhancement (by 243% for the range of oxygen concentration 0−10% and 235% for the range of oxygen concentration 0–100%) when compared to the pure PdOEP–PMMA microfiber mat. Additionally, the as-prepared sensing films were experimentally confirmed to be highly photostable and reproducible. The advantages of AgNW-induced sensitivity enhancement could be useful for the rational design and realization of revolutionary highly sensitive sensors and expected to be readily applicable to many other high-performance gas sensor devices
