“…After propensity score matching, 163 cases from SLE and control groups were included for analysis. (1) Regarding medical complications, compared with control group, SLE group showed significant differences in osteoporosis, respiratory system disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, urinary system disorders, hematologic abnormalities, and secondary or concomitant rheumatic diseases (all P < 0.05). (2) In terms of preoperative laboratory tests, SLE group had lower platelet counts, absolute lymphocyte counts, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, albumin levels, blood glucose levels, and activated partial thromboplastin times than control group, while C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and D-dimer levels were higher (all P < 0.05). (3) Regarding surgical-related indicators, a higher proportion of patients in SLE group had an ASA grade > 2 (15.95% vs. 3.07%, P < 0.001), but intraoperative blood loss was significantly smaller [324.7 (200.0, 500.0) mL vs. 421.8 (200.0, 500.0) mL, P=0.005]. (4) In terms of complications, SLE group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of major complications than control group (8.59% vs. 1.23%, P=0.005), with a relative risk of 1.081 (95% CI: 1.028-1.136). …”

Gravitational wave luminosity distance for Starobinsky gravity in viscous cosmological models by Jia-nan Chi, Ya-Bo Wu, Yu Sang, Xue Zhang, Yi-liang Hu, Wen-zhong Liu, Bo-hai Chen

“…We observe that, in the range of $$0< z\le 8.2$$ 0 < z ≤ 8.2 , the evolutionary curves of $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) and $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) exhibit that $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) ( $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) ) monotonically decrease (increase) as redshift rises, moreover there are always $$\delta (z)<0$$ δ ( z ) < 0 and $$d_L^{GW}(z)\ge d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) ≥ d L EM ( z ) , specially $$d_L^{GW}(0)=d_L^{EM}(0)$$ d L GW ( 0 ) = d L EM ( 0 ) in the limit of $$z\rightarrow 0$$ z → 0 , which means that detecting GW signals might represent a more efficient tool than detecting EM signals to test modified gravity model on the given scale of cosmic distances. …”
