Canadian Helicobacter pylori Consensus Conference Update: Infections in Adults by RH Hunt, CA Fallone, ABR Thomson, Canadian Helicobacter Study Group

“…Key changes included the following: the recommendation for testing and treating H pylori infection in patients with known peptic ulcer disease was extended to testing and treating patients with ulcer-like dyspepsia; it was decided that the urea breath test (not serology) should be used for routine diagnosis of H pylori infection unless endoscopy is indicated for another reason; and recommended therapies were a twice daily, seven-day regimen of a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole 20 mg, lansoprazole 30 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg) or ranitidine bismuth citrate 400 mg, plus clarithromycin 500 mg and amoxicillin 1000 mg, or plus clarithromycin 500 or 250 mg and metronidazole 500 mg. …”

Capacity Density Assessment of Satellite Constellation Network by Xian MENG, Dali QIN, Yu WANG, Chuili KONG, Hejia LUO, Jun WANG

“…The traditional analytical method greatly underestimates the throughput capability of the system in low beam density scenario, and cannot reveal the capacity saturation phenomenon in high beam density scenario.To overcome the preceding problems, a new system simulation method was proposed to accurately evaluated the capacity density indicator of satellite constellation network and integrated satellite and terrestrial network, Based on this method, first, the capacity density of different longitude and latitude regions of the earth was evaluated.It could be observed that the capacity density of the same region varies greatly with the movement of the satellite, and the maximum capacity density was twice the minimum.Then, areas with higher visibility usually had higher capacity density.In high-frequency scenarios, the impact of atmospheric attenuation on capacity density could not be ignored.Finally, for the integrated satellite and terrestrial network, the evaluation results showed that the capacity density of cellular coverage and satellite coverage could differ by four orders of magnitude.In order to improved the capacity density of satellite constellation network, two technical paths were attempted: increasing the maximum number of illuminated beams and increasing the satellite scale.The results showed that the performance was better when the constellation scale was increased when the total beams of the constellation were the same.However, the two ways to increase the total number of beams in a constellation had an upper bound on capacity, and the marginal effect decreased significantly.Finally, a scheme to increase the gain of satellite antenna was proposed.The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme could significantly increase the capacity density of constellation.…”

Reliability and Validity of the Chinese Version of SF-36 Scale in Guangdong Occupational Rehabilitation by Huiling ZHOU, Bing CHEN, Jiayan ZENG, Xunwen LU

“…Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of SF-36 scale in occupational rehabilitation patients in Guangdong Province.Methods:A total of 1,129 patients who participated in occupational rehabilitation were selected and filled in the SF-36 (Chinese version) by self-filling or interviewing.Results:The physiologic function (RP) ICC was 0.670.Twice repeat evaluations showed that the IFC of the total and other seven dimensions were all greater than 0.75 (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001);The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the total and eight dimensions were all higher than 0.7;Split-half reliability coefficient was higher than 0.6 (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001) and split-half reliability was higher than 0.7 in eight dimensions (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001).The success rate of the pooled validity was 94.3%,and the success rate of discriminant validity was 100%.Factor analysis produced a total of two common factors. …”
