Abstract Background Multivessel coronary disease (MVCD) is the common type of artery in acute syndrome (ACS). Coronary calcification (CAC) has been confirmed strong predictor major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Several studies have validated that triglyceride glucose (TyG) index can reflect degree or predict MACEs. However, no evidence to date elucidated and compared predictive intensity TyG or/and score (CACS) on multi-vascular MACEs ACS patients. Methods A total 935 patients,...
Optical waveguides and integrated optical devices are promising solutions for many applications, such as medical diagnosis, health monitoring light therapies. Despite the existing reviews focusing on materials that these made from, a systematic review relates to various materials, fabrication processes, sensing methods applications is still seldom seen. This work intended link multidisciplinary fields, provide comprehensive of recent advances devices. Firstly, mechanical properties based...
Abstract We studied the pattern of personality development in a longitudinal population-based sample 752 American adolescents. Personality was assessed reliably with Junior Temperament and Character Inventory at 12, 14, 16 years age. The rank-order stability traits from age 12 to moderate ( r = .35). Hierarchical linear modeling between-group variance due gender within-group indicated that harm avoidance persistence decreased whereas self-directedness cooperativeness increased 16. Novelty...
Objectives: To explore the transfer effects of cognitive training on working memory among Chinese older adults with mild impairment (MCI). Methods: 62 MCI participants aged more than 60 years old were recruited by holding recruitment sessions at communities in China (33 for training, and 29 mental leisure activities (MLA) control). Cognitive functions, including memory, execution function, reasoning ability, verbal ability daily living, measured 3 time-points (baseline, post-training three...
Measuring activities of daily living (ADLs) using wearable technologies may offer higher precision and granularity than the current clinical assessments for patients after stroke. This study aimed to develop determine accuracy detecting different ADLs machine-learning (ML) algorithms sensors. Eleven post-stroke participated in this pilot at an ADL Simulation Lab across two visits. We collected blocks repeated activity (“atomic” activity) performance data train our ML during one visit....
Background: Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is one of the subgroups invasive cancer. The treatment LABC neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery, which different from others. study aimed to analyze and compare characteristics conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) strain elastography (SE) in patients who have outcomes, provide help for imaging diagnosis clinic treatment. Methods: From May 2018 April 2019, 36 (40 lesions) were enrolled, diagnosed by...
Introduction: Gaps in HIV testing of children persist, particularly among older born before the expansion prevention mother-to-child transmission programs. Methods: The Counseling and Testing for Children at Home study evaluated an index-case pediatric approach. Caregivers receiving care 7 health facilities Kenya (index cases), who had unknown status aged 0–12 years, were offered choice clinic-based (CBT) or home-based (HBT). uptake prevalence compared between groups choosing HBT CBT;...
A series of new isolongifolanonyl pyrazole derivatives 3a～3j were synthesized by aldol-condensation, cyclization and dehydroaromatization from isolongifolanone.The yields products ranged 69.5% to 76.5%.The chemical structures compounds obtained elucidated 1 H NMR, 13 C IR, MS spectra elemental analysis.The strucure compound 3i was determined X-ray single crystal diffraction.Their inhibitory activities against human hepatoma cell (HepG2) umbilical vein endothelial (HUVECs) evaluated.The...
Background and aimsTo investigate whether neck circumference (NC) can predict metabolic syndrome (MetS), coronary calcification lesion, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs).MethodsA total of 867 patients with acute (ACS) over 60 years old from the Second Hospital Shandong University, who had undergone computed tomography, were randomly selected for retrospective analysis. The subjects divided into male female groups, NC quartile 1–4 groups (Q1-Q4 groups), non-multivessel disease...
To better monitor the state of isolating switches, an efficient binocular vision-based measurement system is proposed in this article. Two optimal cameras are selected as vision our inspection system. Firstly, stereo calibration and distortion rectification performed on acquired image pair. Secondly, to recover three-dimensional information switch, we propose a semi-global matching method by using data- structure-driven cost volume fusion then optimizing raw disparity map with weighted- edge...
Abstract In order to effectively solve the problems of redundant medical material allocation, unbalanced high distribution cost and lack symmetry caused by unreasonable prediction in case sudden epidemic disasters, prospect theory is introduced establish a two-stage robust allocation model materials, HQDRO based on decision proposed. Aiming at minimizing emergency response time total number allocated taking dynamic change demand sealed control area as constraint condition, planning materials...
Assisted index case testing (ICT), in which health care workers take an active role referring at-risk contacts of people living with HIV for services, has been widely recognized as evidence-based intervention high potential to increase status awareness HIV. While the available evidence from eastern and southern Africa suggests that assisted ICT can be effective, efficient, cost-effective, acceptable, low-risk strategy implement region, it reveals feasibility barriers implementation exist....
Introduction Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild impairment (MCI) are stages 2 3, respectively, of the Alzheimer’s continuum. The Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog’s) ten-words recall test is a validated method for early detection in disease. However, limited studies have investigated its ability to differentiate between SCD MCI. Methods 203 participants with 62 MCI underwent multiple neuropsychological assessments. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Montreal...
Abstract Based on corrosion big data and user demand, this paper provides a passenger car resistance evaluation model with strong practicability, operability, good discrimination. Considering the three dimensions of time, number problems, severity, whole vehicle is comprehensively evaluated through appearance, function (primary index), coating scratch (bonus item), to reflect advantages disadvantages automobile quantitative score value. It aims provide yardstick for evaluating products...
Image non-blind deblurring is still an ill-posed problem. Uncertainty in solutions occurs when singular vectors of forward model matrix spanning the noise subspace have rather small values. This letter proposes a new image algorithm, called MNBC-Gibbs (multiple norms and boundary constraint enforced Gibbs sampling). To be more specific, quadratic sparseness-inducing are combined to construct regularization term, objective function gradually minimized without requirement parameter choice. In...
To describe nurse and physician perspectives on enabling factors that promote sustainability of high flow use in resource-limited settings.Over 650 000 children died from respiratory infections 2016 globally. Many deaths could be prevented with access to advanced paediatric support, but technology settings remains challenging.Local providers have expertise related site-specific barriers sustainability. Engaging local during implementation can identify strategies ongoing beyond initial...
Flash Radiography inspections stand to gain from inversion infer density distribution of object based on X-ray transmission image. It is indispensable be able reliably provide uncertainties associated with the inversions. Although many algorithms have been devised, they often perform poorly due either their sensitivity regularization parameter chosen in variational optimization or prohibitive computation and noisy results stochastic simulation. In this paper, we present a gradual...
