Liver Cirrhosis: Causes, Severity, and Management Strategy

Haradhan Kumar Mohajan — 2025-10-31

The liver is the largest internal organ of the body. It is a vital organ that performs various important physiological functions of the body. It is a unique organ that has the ability to regenerate itself. Liver cirrhosis is the end-stage of chronic liver disease (CLD) that is characterized by organ failures, increased levels of systemic inflammation and high short-term mortality. It is an awfully heterogeneous condition of the liver that spreads from an early asymptomatic to an advanced stage with various complications that continuously damages the liver and its functions. Some common causes of liver cirrhosis are over alcohol use, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis virus infections, with many patients having overlapping causes. These patients have experience of muscle cramps, pruritus, poor-quality sleep, and sexual dysfunction. Liver transplantation is the only life-saving option for cirrhosis patients. This study tries to discuss the causes, complications, severity, and management techniques of this fatal disease.

Design and Empirical Study of an Intelligent Operation System for Multi-Category Retail Stores

Li Li — 2025-10-31

Multi-category retail chains currently face core challenges such as “shift scheduling based on experience, display optimization without data support, and inefficient store inspections.” These issues are exacerbated by the lack of a universal operation tool, resulting in a 30% lower labor efficiency compared to single-category benchmark stores. This study addresses these practical pain points by designing an intelligent operation system for multi-category retail stores named “Store Efficiency Communicator” (SEC). The system comprises three core modules: “intelligent shift scheduling,” “heat map display optimization,” and “digital store inspection.” It innovatively incorporates an “industry-defined weight mechanism” to accommodate differences across categories such as jewelry, clothing, and cosmetics. Empirical tests in 10 multi-category stores in Wuhan demonstrated that the system improved labor efficiency by an average of 28% (28% for jewelry stores, 28% for clothing stores, and 26% for cosmetics stores), increased display area sales by 37% (40% for jewelry stores, 35% for clothing stores, and 36% for cosmetics stores), and raised compliance pass rates by 23 percentage points. The proposed “digital lightweight path for small and medium-sized retail chains” has been validated through the regional agency system of Chow Tai Fook and can be adapted to American small and medium-sized retail brands, providing practical references for the implementation and export of Chinese retail digital technology.

Design of a Medical IT Automated Auditing System Based on Multiple Compliance Standards

Zhengyang Qi — 2025-11-17

This study proposes a three-step framework of “regulation quantification - conflict resolution - pipeline automation” and deploys real-world experiments in five medium-sized medical groups in the western United States. The results show that the auditing days are reduced by 80%, human resources are saved by 69.7%, the high-risk rectification rate reaches 100%, and the ROI is as high as 136:1, triggering reinsurance discounts from two regional insurers. The system relies on an open-source rule library and a CNN-based man-day prediction model, incorporating compliance tasks into the DevOps Kanban for the first time to achieve “left shift of compliance.” However, limitations such as the singularity of the sample region and payment model, insufficient support of cloud-native APIs for traditional architectures, and model regulation drift still need to be overcome. The lightweight proxy design has been verified in a non-K8s environment to demonstrate its cross-industry general potential, providing a replicable and verifiable automated compliance paradigm for the medical and other regulated industries.
