Association of Korean Medicine and polypharmacy with fall risk and mortality in older adults with stroke by Ye-Seul Lee, Bo-Hyoung Jang, Jin Pyeong Jeon, Han-Gyul Lee, Seungwon Kwon, Woo-Sang Jung

“…Sensitivity analyses of the unmatched cohort, alternative outcome definitions, and interactions yielded consistent patterns.ConclusionIn older adults with stroke and polypharmacy, KM may improve functional recovery and mobility, potentially increasing falls if balance training is inadequate, yet simultaneously confer survival advantages—perhaps through neuro-immune or systemic effects—irrespective of medication load. Among the more frail hyper-polypharmacy group, KM reduced mortality without altering falls, suggesting that functional gains and competing-risk dynamics differ by medication intensity. …”

WSN clustering routing algorithm based on Cuckoo Search algorithm optimized K-means by Kailei ZHU, Aijing SUN

“…In order to extend the lifetime of wireless sensor network (WSN), a clustering routing algorithm for WSN based on Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm optimized K-means was presented.In the clustering stage, the initial cluster centers were selected by CS algorithm, which make the clustering results of the K-means algorithm more uniform to balance node energy consumption.The remaining energy of the node, the distance from the center of the cluster were comprehensively considered in the cluster election, and the weight according to the remaining energy of the node was dynamically adjusted.In the data communication stage, in order to further balance the load of the cluster head, the remaining energy of the relay node and its load, and the cluster head routing energy consumption were comprehensively considered, CS algorithm was combined to plan routing for the cluster head.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is better than LEACH-K, LEACH-improve and DTK-means in terms of energy consumption balance.With the death of the first node as the life cycle of the network, the network lifespan was increased by 173%, 21%, and 6% respectively.The proposed algorithm effectively extending the network life cycle.…”
