Automatic evaluation metrics are a crucial component of dialog systems research. Standard language known to be ineffective for evaluating dialog. As such, recent research has proposed number novel, dialog-specific that correlate better with human judgements. Due the fast pace research, many these have been assessed on different datasets and there as yet no time systematic comparison between them. To this end, paper provides comprehensive assessment recently datasets. In paper, 23 automatic...
Background: There is a lack of consensus regarding the treatment total colonic aganglionosis (TCA) with respect to perioperative morbidity, mortality, complications, and functional outcomes. The aim this study was review results surgical TCA over 26-year period characterize Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical characteristics, courses, outcomes patients who underwent definitive pull-through operations from 1986 2012. Follow-up data were collected by chart reviews telephone...
Cellular cholesterol is known to be under homeostatic control in nonsteroidogenic cells, and this intrigued us understand how such works steroidogenic cells that additionally use for steroid hormone synthesis. We employed primary culture of rat ovarian granulosa study adapt acquire sufficient meet the demand active steroidogenesis stimulation gonadotropin follicle-stimulating (FSH) cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)β1. found TGFβ1 potentiated FSH upregulate scavenger receptor class B...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common cancer in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients Taiwan. Whether statin therapy associated with HCC risk hyperlipidemic chronic kidney (CKD) and ESRD unclear. Using population-based insurance claim data from Taiwan, we identified taking statins or not (677,364 versus 867,707) 1999-2015. Among them, three pairs of propensity score matched non-statin cohorts were established by function: 413,867 normal function (NRF), 46,851 CKD 6372 ESRD....
The most powerful metaheuristics must be good at both exploitation and exploration. In the present day, are designed to reach a balance between these two capabilities for sake of avoiding being trapped in local optimum or unable achieve convergence. For first time history, it is noteworthy that exploration strong use Jaguar Algorithm (JA). this paper, JA presents simple but robust method inspired by behaviors jaguars. One feature jaguar once locked onto its prey, moves directly swiftly...
The rate of migration metal stents is very low, but can be technically difficult to remove if the patient has previously undergone biliary Roux-en-Y surgery. We report here on a case in which migrated stent was removed using double-balloon enteroscopy - new indication for latter procedure.
Standard accuracy metrics indicate that modern reading comprehension systems have achieved strong performance in many question answering datasets. However, the extent these truly understand language remains unknown, and existing are not good at distinguishing distractor sentences, which look related but do actually answer question. To address this problem, we propose QAInfomax as a regularizer by maximizing mutual information among passages, question, its answer. helps regularize model to...
Dieulafoy's disease is a rare vascular lesion characterized by presence of large aberrant arteries within the submucosa gastrointestinal tract or respiratory with potential to cause life-threatening hemorrhage. Treatment includes bronchoscopy ablation, angiographic embolization surgery. We report management 7-year old girl in airway who presented recurrent hemoptysis. Bronchial angiography revealed multiple feeding vessels lesion. Considering risk recurrence embolization, sleeve resection...
Antiviral effect of interferon is mediated by the expression interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). However, because difficulty in obtaining paired liver biopsies before and after treatment, key ISGs expressed human hepatocytes responsible for interferon-based antiviral activities chronic hepatitis C remain illusive. Prior to a standard course peginterferon plus ribavirin therapy, 104 patients underwent biopsy. A small piece biopsy sample from each patient was submitted ex vivo tissue culture...
While multilingual training is now an essential ingredient in machine translation (MT) systems, recent work has demonstrated that it different effects settings, such as many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many learning. These settings expose the encoder decoder a model with data distributions. In this paper, we examine how varieties of contribute to learning these two components MT model. Specifically, compare bilingual models encoders and/or decoders initialized by training. We show...
Conversational machine comprehension requires deep understanding of the dialogue flow, and prior work proposed FlowQA to implicitly model context representations in reasoning for better understanding. This paper proposes explicitly information gain through order allow focus on more informative cues. The achieves state-of-the-art performance a conversational QA dataset QuAC sequential instruction SCONE, which shows effectiveness mechanism demonstrates its capability generalization different...
As feature size keeps shrinking, how to maintain the reliability becomes an important issue in IC production, especially for high density memory circuits. Error detection and correction (EDAC) schemes have been widely used circuits this purpose, but ordinary EDAC are not suitable memories with long codewords. The demand low-power is increasing due growth portable electronics markets. Power reduction DRAM-like cells can be done by reducing refresh frequency, loss of data integrity should...
We herein report the case of a girl with PRETEXT III hepatoblastoma (HB) developing recurrent lung metastases despite multiple chemotherapy regimens, aggressive tumor excision, metastasectomies, and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. High mutation burden (TMB) was identified through targeted next-generation sequencing, pembrolizumab administered post-operatively as last resort. A complete sustained response to immune checkpoint inhibitor achieved for 22 months. Although...
LT is a treatment option for MMA patients, but renal function impairment one of the long-term concerns. The aim this study was to evaluate outcomes early in these patients.A total 11 mut-type patients (including 10 mut0 cases and 1 mut-case) who received our institute were reviewed. Their metabolic profiles compared between pre/post-transplant periods. immunosuppressant changes after transplantation assessed.After mean follow-up 97.5 ± 38.4 months, there two deaths, actual survival rate...
The safe establishment of pneumoperitoneum is a critical step in all laparoscopic surgeries. A closed usually obtained by inserting Veress needle into the peritoneal cavity. However, there no definite measure to visually confirm position tip inside This study aimed describe method real-time visual detection placement using an incorporated optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe porcine model. 14-gauge was with miniature fiber puncture piglet's abdominal wall total 80 punctures were...
