Recognition of cancer chemotherapy adverse effect by patients: a cross-sectional study from Palestine by Ayah Maqdasawi, Rawan Ghanayiem, Marwa Khalaf, Riad Amer, Sultan Mosleh, Ramzi Shawahna

“…Additionally, older age was associated with lower frequencies of fever (Beta = -0.28, p < 0.001) and skin toxicity (Beta = -0.30, p < 0.001), while female sex was linked to increased reports of weakness (Beta = 0.20, p = 0.003), hair loss (Beta = 0.25, p = 0.001), and edema (Beta = -0.22, p = 0.001). Conclusion The findings underscore a substantial burden of chemotherapy-induced side effects among cancer patients treated in Palestinian hospitals, with treatment-related parameters—particularly the duration of chemotherapy sessions—significantly influencing the frequency of adverse effects. …”

Monitoring and Comparative Analysis of NO₂ and HCHO in Shanghai Using Dual-Azimuth Scanning MAX-DOAS and TROPOMI by Hongmei Ren, Ang Li, Zhaokun Hu, Nannan Shao, Xinyan Yang, Hairong Zhang, Jiangman Xu, Jinji Ma

“…Sensitivity analysis of the sampling distance (0–40 km) between TROPOMI samples and the ground-based site, and the sampling time (±5 to ±60 min) relative to the TROPOMI overpass, revealed that using a sampling distance of 15–25 km for NO₂ and 10–20 km for HCHO, along with appropriately shortening sampling times in the winter and extending them in the summer, can effectively enhance the consistency between satellite and ground-based observations. These findings not only reveal the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of regional pollutants but optimize the sampling time and distance parameters for satellite–ground observation validation, providing data support for improving and enhancing the accuracy of satellite retrieval algorithms.…”
