Effects of preoperative and postoperative resistance exercise interventions on recovery of physical function in patients undergoing abdominal surgery for cancer: a systematic revie... by David Stephensen, Ferhana Hashem, Kevin Corbett, Amanda Bates, Michelle George, Ralph Peter Hobbs, Malcolm Hopkins, Irena Hutchins, David Peter Lowery, Tracy Pellatt-Higgins, Charitini Stavropoulou, Ian Swaine, Lee Tomlinson, Hazel Woodward, Haythem Ali

“…Objective To systematically review the effects of preoperative and postoperative resistance exercise training on the recovery of physical function in patients undergoing abdominal surgery for cancer.Data sources A systematic review of English articles using Medline, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library electronic databases was undertaken.Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Studies were included if they used a randomised, quasi-randomised or controlled trial study design and compared the effects of a muscle-strengthening exercise intervention (±other therapy) with a comparative non-exercise group; involved adult participants (≥18 years) who had elected to undergo abdominal surgery for cancer; and used muscle strength, physical function, self-reported functional ability, range of motion and/or a performance-based test as an outcome measure.Results Following screening of titles and abstracts of the 588 publications retrieved from the initial search, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria and were accessed for review of the full-text version of the article, and 2 eligible studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. …”

Energy-saving computation offloading scheme based on Sarsa algorithm in industrial internet of things by Jun SUN, Shangweikang ZHAO

“…In order to reduce the total energy consumption of industrial internet of things systems with deadline requirements, a computing offloading scheme based on Sarsa algorithm was proposed.Based on the characteristics of Sarsa algorithm, the energy consumption optimization problem was coupled.The Sarsa algorithm iterated the external state value function, selected the appropriate edge computing server to offload the computing task, and then the particle swarm optimization algorithm solved the resource allocation problem.Finally, the environmental information was updated for the next round of algorithm iteration until the algorithm met the end conditions.The simulation results show that this scheme has faster convergence speed and effectively reduces the system energy consumption.…”

Enhancing the quality of kinesthetic motor imagery for complex motor skills through simulated muscle activation color visualization: Evidence from time-frequency and functional con... by Xiaogang Ma, Bing Shi

“…Conversely, alpha event-related synchronization (ERS) in the parietal and occipital regions, as well as ERS in the frontal, central, and temporal regions, were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. The source-functional connectivity results revealed that the primary differences between the experimental and control groups were concentrated between the left V1 and right V1, as well as among the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and primary motor cortex (M1). …”
