Abstract Meibomian glands (MG) are large sebaceous located below the tarsal conjunctiva and abnormalities of these cause gland dysfunction (MGD) which is responsible for evaporative dry eye disease (DED). Accurate MG segmentation a key prerequisite automated imaging based MGD related DED diagnosis. However, Automatic in infrared meibography challenging task due to image artifacts. A deep learning-based has been proposed directly learns features from training dataset without any...
We study the MAP-labeling problem for graphical models by optimizing a dual obtained Lagrangian decomposition. In this paper, we focus specifically on Nes-terov's optimal first-order optimization scheme non-smooth convex programs, that has been studied range of other problems in computer vision and machine learning recent years. show order to obtain an efficiently convergent iteration, approach should be augmented with dynamic estimation corresponding Lip-schitz constant, leading runtime...
We determined the ability of PET with thymidine analog 3'-deoxy-3'-(18)F-fluorothymidine ((18)F-FLT) to detect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).In this pilot study, (18)F-FLT was performed in 18 untreated patients clinically suspected HCC. Routine diagnostic procedures included ultrasound, MRI, or contrast-enhanced spiral CT upper gastrointestinal tract all patients. At 45-60 min after intravenous injection approximately 270-340 MBq (18)F-FLT, emission and transmission scanning a...
We consider the linear programming relaxation of an energy minimization problem for Markov Random Fields. The dual objective this can be treated as a concave and unconstrained, but non-smooth function. idea smoothing prior to optimization was recently proposed in series papers. Some them suggested decrease amount (so called temperature) while getting closer optimum. However, no theoretical substantiation provided. propose adaptive diminishing algorithm based on duality gap between relaxed...
Background To date in Germany, only few studies have been conducted concerning the efficacy of care and case management ( CCM ) for older people about using communication technology during monitoring. Aim With this study, it is intended to gain a better understanding how general perceived by (65+) living alone particular what they think monitoring process used video conferences. Method The sampling work cycle were based on Grounded Theory. Two different subsamples (each n = 20; total sample:...
This paper proposes a method for the construction of approximate feasible primal solutions from infeasible ones large-scale optimization problems possessing certain separability properties. Whereas estimates can typically be produced (sub-) gradients dual function, it is often not easy to project them set, since projection itself has complexity comparable initial problem. We propose an alternative efficient obtain feasibility and show that its properties influencing convergence optimum are...
Many people report that they know in advance who is on the phone when telephone ringing. Sheldrake and Smart [1, 2] conducted experiments where participants had to determine which one of four possible callers while was still They highly significant hit rates cannot be explained by conventional theories.
Abstract Background In the period 2011 – 2013, 13 care support points were set up in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. They are joint responsibility of all health and long-term insurance funds local government. Method Between July November data on organisation personnel collected respect their advisory staff. Questions asked about reasons for visiting a point, subject matter any counselling demographic users. Data using questionnaires interviews. Descriptive statistics used to analyse quantitative...
Abstract Background In general, urinary and faecal incontinence is a multifaceted problem that associated with increasing burdens for those affected, massive impairment of quality life economic consequences. Incontinence high level shame, which in particular reduces the self-esteem being incontinent leads to additional vulnerability. Those affected by often perceive care they receiveas humiliating, hence can no longer control their own urination; nursing cleansing support then lead...
Abstract To review and summarize the available evidence on technology‐based nursing interventions for urinary incontinence. Scoping review. A of english German research articles published up to April 2024 examining in older people (> = 65 years) was conducted. Studies were retrieved by searching Medline electronic database via PubMed CINAHL database. Eight studies met inclusion criteria. The followed updated methodological guidance conduct scoping reviews 2020. three different types based...
