An extensive outbreak of staphylococcal food poisoning occurred in Kansai district Japan. As many as 13,420 cases frequently ingested dairy products manufactured by a factory Osaka City. The main ingredient these was powdered skim milk Hokkaido. Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) (< or = 0.38 ng/ml) detected low-fat and approx. 3.7 ng/g milk. total intake SEA per capita estimated mostly at 20-100 ng. assumed attack rate considerably lower than those reported previous outbreaks. exposed least...
Two unusually-high-multiplicity interactions of high-energy heavy nuclei are observed in a balloon-borne emulsion chamber: A Si + Ag Br event (4 TeV/nucleon) and Ca C (100 TeV/nucleon), with 1015 760 charged particles, respectively. The multiplicities rapidity distributions favor the multichain model but not wounded-nucleon superposition model. high average ${P}_{T}$ (550-700 MeV/c) fluctuations events readily understood terms any models.
We have studied stars in nuclear emulsion due to the capture at rest of Ξ- hyperons produced (K-, K+) reaction. The sequential weak decay a double hypernucleus (nucleus with S = -2) has been directly observed. is assigned as either 10ΛΛBe or 13ΛΛB. This assignment excludes existence H dibaryon lighter than 2203.7 ±0.7 MeV/c2.
Recent advances in 3D fully convolutional networks (FCN) have made it feasible to produce dense voxel-wise predictions of full volumetric images. In this work, we show that a multi-class FCN trained on manually labeled CT scans seven abdominal structures (artery, vein, liver, spleen, stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas) can achieve competitive segmentation results, while avoiding the need for handcrafting features or training organ-specific models. To end, propose two-stage, coarse-to-fine...
One of the most common tasks in medical imaging is semantic segmentation. Achieving this segmentation automatically has been an active area research, but task proven very challenging due to large variation anatomy across different patients. However, recent advances deep learning have made it possible significantly improve performance image recognition and methods field computer vision. Due data driven approaches hierarchical feature frameworks, these can be translated images without much...
This paper presents a novel unsupervised segmentation method for 3D medical images. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have brought significant advances in image segmentation. However, most of the recent methods rely on supervised learning, which requires large amounts manually annotated data. Thus, it is challenging these to cope with growing amount proposes unified approach deep representation learning and clustering Our proposed consists two phases. In first phase, we learn feature...
The S = -2 hypernuclear states formed through (K-, K+) reactions have been studied by using the 1.66 GeV/c K- beam provided KEK Proton Synchrotron. Investigation has done on stars due to capture of Ξ- hyperons at rest in nuclear emulsion, which were produced reactions. We observed a clear case an absorption hyperon nucleus followed back-to-back emission two single-Λ hypernuclei.
Pancreas segmentation in computed tomography imaging has been historically difficult for automated methods because of the large shape and size variations between patients.

In stage 1, 2D Swin U-Net is trained using data...
PurposeWe present a semi-supervised method for intestine segmentation to assist clinicians in diagnosing intestinal diseases. Accurate is essential planning treatments conditions such as obstruction. Although fully supervised learning performs well with abundant labeled data, the complexity of intestine's spatial structure makes labeling time-intensive, resulting limited data. We propose 3D network bidirectional teaching strategy enhance accuracy using this dataset.MethodThe proposed...
