Association between operative position and postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective ways to treat morbid obesity,and postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)is one of the common complications after bariatric surgery.At present,the mechanism of the high incidence of PONV after weight-loss surgery has not been clearly explained,and this study aims to investigate the effect of surgical position on PONV in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.AIM To explore the effect of the operative position during bariatric surgery on PONV.METHODS Data from obese patients,who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG)in the authors’hospital between June 2020 and February 2022 were divided into 2 groups and retrospectively analyzed.Multivariable logistic regression analysis and the t-test were used to study the influence of operative position on PONV.RESULTS There were 15 cases of PONV in the supine split-leg group(incidence rate,50%)and 11 in the supine group(incidence rate,36.7%)(P=0.297).The mean operative duration in the supine split-leg group was 168.23±46.24 minutes and 140.60±32.256 minutes in the supine group(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that operative position was not an independent risk factor for PONV(odds ratio=1.192,95%confidence interval:0.376-3.778,P=0.766).CONCLUSION Operative position during LSG may affect PONV;however,the difference in the incidence of PONV was not statistically significant.Operative position should be carefully considered for obese patients before surgery.

Feynman Path Integral Using Operator Integration in Banach Space

Feynman-Path Integral in Banach Space: In 1940, R.P. Feynman attempted to find a mathematical representation to express quantum dynamics of the general form for a double-slit experiment. His intuition on several slits with several walls in terms of Lagrangian instead of Hamiltonian resulted in a magnificent work. It was known as Feynman Path Integrals in quantum physics, and a large part of the scientific community still considers them a heuristic tool that lacks a sound mathematical definition. This paper aims to refute this prejudice, by providing an extensive and self-contained description of the mathematical theory of Feynman Path Integration, from the earlier attempts to the latest developments, as well as its applications to quantum mechanics. About a hundred years after the beginning of modern physics, it was realized that light could in fact show behavioral characteristics of both waves and particles. In 1927, Davisson and Germer demonstrated that electrons show the same dual behavior, which was later extended to atoms and molecules. We shall follow the method of integration with some modifications to construct a generalized Lebesgue-Bochner-Stieltjes (LBS) integral of the form , where u is a bilinear operator acting in the product of Banach spaces, f is a Bochner summable function, and μ is a vector-valued measure. We will demonstrate that the Feynman Path Integral is consistent and can be justified mathematically with LBS integration approach.

Operator Matrix Forms of Positive Operators

If a 3-tuple (A:H_1→H_1,B:H_2→H_1,C:H_2→H_2) of operators on Hilbert spaces is given,we proved that the operator A:= on H=H_1⊕H_2 is≥0 if and only if A≥0,R(B) R(A1/2)and C≥B~* A^+ B, where A^+ is the generalized inverse of A. In general,A^+ is a closed operator,but since R(B) R(A1/2),B~* A^+ B is bounded yet.

THE RELATION BETWEEN SIGN-CHANGING SOLUTION AND POSITIVE-NEGATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR OPERATOR EQUATIONS AND ITS APPLICATIONS

By fixed point index theory and a result obtained by Amann, existence of the solution for a class of nonlinear operator equations x = Ax is discussed. Under suitable conditions, a couple of positive and negative solutions are obtained. Finally, the abstract result is applied to nonlinear Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem, and at least four distinct solutions are obtained.

Implementation of positive-operator-value measurements for single spin qubit via Heisenberg model

This paper shows that a proposal for implementing all possible two-operator positive-operator-value measurements of single spin qubit can be obtained via introducing another spin qubit as ancilla. The realization process is accomplished from the free evolution of the Heisenberg XX model by considering nearest-neighbour spin interaction. A controlled- NOT gate, which is a significant operator for this scheme is also constructed and the generalisation to multiple-operator is considered finally.

A New Class of Generalized Landau Linear Positive Operator Sequence and Its Properties of Approximation

In this paper two sequences of generalized Landau linear positive operators are introduced. They can be applied in approximating continuous functions with arbitrary growth order, defined on a finite interval or the whole real axis. The properties of approximation are studied and their asymptotic formulae are presented. These results show that their degrees of approximation are the best among existing operator sequences of Landau type, for example, their degrees of approximation for C 2[0, 1] are O(1/n 2) but corresponding degree of ordinary Landau operators are only O(1/n).

Recently in [4], the Jessen＇s type inequality for normalized positive C0-semigroups is obtained.

Moreover, a Dresher＇s type inequality for two-parameter family of means, is also proved.

A new approach to obtaining positive-definite Wigner operator for two entangled particles with different masses

Based on our previously proposed Wigner operator in entangled form, we introduce the generalized Wigner operator for two entangled particles with different masses, which is expected to be positive-definite. This approach is able to convert the generalized Wigner operator into a pure state so that the positivity can be ensured. The technique of integration within an ordered product of operators is used in the discussion.

Evaluation index system for positive operation of water conservancy projects

The conditions for the positive operation of water conservancy projects are described in this paper. A scientific and effective evaluation index system was established based on frequency analysis, theoretical analysis, and expert consultation. This evaluation index system can be divided into six first-level indices： the degree to which facilities are intact and functionality standards are reached, the status of operation and management funds, the rationality and degree of advancement of the management team structure, the adaptability and rationality of the water conservancy project management system, the degree of automatization and informationization of the management techniques, and the conduciveness of the exterior environment. The weights for evaluation indices were obtained through the analytic hierarchy process method with consideration of the difference between public welfare and profit-oriented water conservancy projects. This study provides a scientific method for evaluating the positive operation of water conservancy projects.

Multiple positive solutions for a class of nonlinear four-point boundary value problem with p-Laplacian

This paper deals with the existence of multiple positive solutions for a class of nonlinear singular four-point boundary value problem with p-Laplacian：{（φ（u′））′＋a（t）f（u（t））=0, 0〈t〈1, αφ（u（0））-βφ（u′（ξ））=0,γφ（u（1））＋δφ（u′（η））0,where φ（x） = ｜x｜^p-2x,p 〉 1, a（t） may be singular at t = 0 and/or t = 1. By applying Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem and Schauder fixed point theorem, the sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple （at least three） positive solutions to the above four-point boundary value problem are provided. An example to illustrate the importance of the results obtained is also given.

Furuta showed that if A≥B≥0,then for each r≥0,f（p）=（A^r/2 B^p A^r/2）^t＋r/p＋r is decreasing for p≥t≥0.Using this result,the following inequality（C^r/2（AB^2A）^δC^ r/2）^ p-1＋r/4δ＋r ≤C^p-1＋r is obtained for 0〈p ≤1,r≥1,1/4≤δ≤1 and three positive operators A, B, C satisfy（A^1/2BA^1/2）^p/2≤A^p,（B^1/2AB^1/2）^p/2≥B^p,（C^1/2AC^1/2）^p/2≤C^p,（A^1/2CA^1/2）^p/2≥A^p.

Coefficient inequalities, growth and distortion inequalities, as well as closure results are obtained. We also establish some results concerning the partial sums of meromorphic functions and neighborhood results for functions in new class.
