The COVID-19 epidemic and the related containment strategies may affect parental pediatric health behaviors.
Large pre-trained models, also known as foundation models (FMs), are trained in a task-agnostic manner on large-scale data and can be adapted to wide range of downstream tasks by fine-tuning, few-shot, or even zero-shot learning. Despite their successes language vision tasks, we have yet seen an attempt develop for geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI). In this work, explore the promises challenges developing multimodal GeoAI. We first investigate potential many existing FMs testing...

Both health resources and access to these increased after China's care reform launched in 2009. However, it is not clear if the inequalities were reduced within rural China, which was one of main targets reform. This study aims examine changes following Data came from routine report counties every other year 2008 2014. Health professionals hospital beds per 1000 population used for measuring resources, hospitalization rate access. Descriptive analysis fixed effect model this study. by about...
Background: Circulating omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been associated with various chronic diseases mortality, but results are conflicting. Few studies examined the role of omega-6/omega-3 ratio in mortality. Methods: We investigated plasma PUFAs their relation to all-cause cause-specific mortality a large prospective cohort, UK Biobank. Of 85,425 participants who had complete information on circulating PUFAs, 6461 died during follow-up, including 2794 from...
Improving efficiency performance of the health care delivery system has been on agenda for reform that China initiated in 2009. This study examines changes and determinants after to provide evidence assess progress from perspective efficiency. Descriptive analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis, Malmquist Index, multilevel regressions are used with data multiple sources, including World Bank, Health Statistical Yearbook, routine reports. The results indicate over last decade, outcomes compared...

Multilevel thresholding segmentation of color images is an important technology in various applications which has received more attention recent years. The process determining the optimal threshold values case traditional methods time-consuming. In order to mitigate above problem, meta-heuristic algorithms have been employed this field for searching optima during past few paper, effective technique Electromagnetic Field Optimization (EFO) algorithm based on a fuzzy entropy criterion...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Although the multimorbidity–dementia association has been widely addressed, little is known on long‐term trajectory of multimorbidity (TOM) in preclinical dementia. METHODS Based Health and Retirement Study, burden was quantified with total number eight conditions (LTC). Patterns TOM before dementia diagnosis were investigated mixed‐effects models. RESULTS In 1752 cases 5256 matched controls, showed higher faster increasing predicted LTC than a significant case–control...

Regular testing and vaccination are effective measures to mitigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence on willingness uptake of is scarce, may change as pandemic evolves. This study aims examine during a low-risk period in urban China.A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 2244 adults China. Descriptive analyses were performed compare respondents' vaccination. Multivariate logistic regressions fitted investigate factors associated with two measures.In early 2021, about half...
In this pioneering study, inspired by AutoGPT, the state-of-the-art open-source application based on GPT-4 large language model, we develop a novel tool called AD-AutoGPT which can conduct data collection, processing, and analysis about complex health narratives of Alzheimer's Disease in an autonomous manner via users' textual prompts. We collated comprehensive from variety news sources, including Association, BBC, Mayo Clinic, National Institute Aging since June 2022, leading to execution...
Abstract Previous epidemiological studies on the associations between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and cancer incidence have been inconsistent. We investigated of plasma omega‐3 omega‐6 PUFAs with overall 19 site‐specific cancers in a large prospective cohort. 253,138 eligible UK Biobank participants were included our study. With mean follow‐up 12.9 years, 29,838 diagnosed cancer. The levels expressed as percentages total (omega‐3% omega‐6%). In main models, both omega‐6% omega‐3%...
