The missing modality issue is critical but non-trivial to be solved by multi-modal models. Current methods aiming handle the problem in tasks, either deal with modalities only during evaluation or train separate models specific settings. In addition, these are designed for so example, classification not easily adapted segmentation tasks and vice versa. this paper, we propose Shared-Specific Feature Modelling (ShaSpec) method that considerably simpler more effective than competing approaches...

There are few studies reporting the association between lifestyle and mortality among oldest old in developing countries. We examined food habits, factors all-cause (≥80 years) using data from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). In 1998/99, 8959 participants aged 80 years older took part baseline survey. Follow-up surveys were conducted every two to three until 2011. Food habits assessed an in-person interview. Deaths ascertained family members during follow-up. Cox...

Pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration is a severe consequence inflammation in the pelvis, often seen patients with endometriosis. The sliding sign dynamic transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) test that can diagnose POD obliteration. We aimed to develop deep learning (DL) model automatically classify state using recorded videos depicting test.Two expert sonologists performed, interpreted, and consecutive from September 2018 April 2020. was classified as positive (i.e. normal) or negative abnormal;...
Abstract Diagnosis of endometriosis has traditionally relied on laparoscopic surgery, which was considered the ‘gold standard’ diagnostic tool. This is not ideal as surgery carries risk, expensive, difficult to access, and disrupts patients work or education due recovery time needed. As such, imaging been investigated a potential method for non‐invasive diagnosis, with transvaginal ultrasound showing high accuracy ovarian endometriomas deep endometriosis. The advances in capability led...
