Prevalence and influence factors of hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: a Meta-analysis by TANG Yuhan, LUO Xinyu

“…The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of HE in patients after TIPS was 31%[95%CI(28%, 34%)], and age [OR=1.22, 95%CI(1.15, 1.29)], MELD score [OR=1.46, 95%CI(1.29, 1.65)], preoperative blood creatinine [OR=1.27, 95%CI(1.14, 1.41)], Child-Pugh classification [OR=2.83, 95%CI(1.56, 5.13)], preoperative blood ammonia [OR=1.25, 95%CI(1.18, 1.33)], Child-Pugh score [OR=1.21, 95%CI(1.08, 1.35)], preoperative bilirubin [OR=1.35, 95%CI(1.11, 1.65)], preoperative sodium [OR=1.30, 95%CI(1.16, 1.45)], and a history of preoperative HE [OR=2.00, 95%CI(1.06, 3.76)] were the influence factors for the development of HE in patients after TIPS.Conclusion The incidence of HE in post-TIPS patients is high, and clinicians should identify and intervene early to minimize or delay the occurrence of HE in patients after the TIPS procedure referring to the influence factors.…”

Study on Energy‐Saving and Emission Reduction Solutions for the Bearing Heating System of Offshore Wind Turbines: A Case Study of General Electric's Offshore Wind Power Assembly Ba... by Huanrui Liang, Xiaoa Huang, Faquan Chen, Jiayang Wu, Leying Deng, Youxin Huang

“…The paper proposes a targeted strategy comprising three key interventions: (1) The synchronization of bearing heating procedures with the off‐peak electricity tariff regime to mitigate peak demand and associated energy expenditures and carbon footprints. (2) The deployment of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) system to harness and convert waste heat into electrical energy, with meticulous modeling of its thermal dynamics. (3) The engineering of a thermally insulated housing for bearings to curtail thermal losses. …”
