The separation of xylene isomers, especially para-xylene, is a crucial but challenging process in the chemical industry due to their similar molecular dimensions. Here, a flexible metal-organic framework, Ni(ina), (ina = isonicotinic acid) is employed to effectively discriminate xylene isomers. The adsorbent with adaptive deformation accommodates the shapes of isomer molecules, thereby translating their subtle shape differences into characteristic framework deformation energies.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of sacroiliac screw implantation assisted by three-dimensional (3D) printed faceted honeycomb guide plate in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fracture.

Methods: The clinical data of 40 patients with posterior pelvic ring fractures treated with sacroiliac screw implantation between December 2019 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 18 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws fixation assisted by 3D printed faceted honeycomb guide plate (guide plate group), and 22 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws percutaneously fixation under fluoroscopy (conventional group).

  • An error grid is a tool that helps compare glucose levels measured by devices to see if they are correct and to identify any risks.
  • Experts created a new error grid called the DTS Error Grid that works for both blood glucose monitors (BGMs) and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), organizing accuracy into five risk zones.
  • The results showed that the DTS Error Grid provides a clearer picture of how accurate these devices are and includes a separate matrix to evaluate how well CGMs track glucose trends over time.

Understanding and addressing the dynamics of infectious diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019, are essential for effectively managing the current situation and developing intervention strategies. Epidemiologists commonly use mathematical models, known as epidemiological equations (EE), to simulate disease spread. However, accurately estimating the parameters of these models can be challenging due to factors like variations in social distancing policies and intervention strategies.

The increasing prevalence of myopia worldwide presents a significant public health challenge. A key strategy to combat myopia is with early detection and prediction in children as such examination allows for effective intervention using readily accessible imaging technique. To this end, we introduced DeepMyopia, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled decision support system to detect and predict myopia onset and facilitate targeted interventions for children at risk using routine retinal fundus images.

Deep learning approaches for multi-label Chest X-ray (CXR) images classification usually require large-scale datasets. However, acquiring such datasets with full annotations is costly, time-consuming, and prone to noisy labels. Therefore, we introduce a weakly supervised learning problem called Single Positive Multi-label Learning (SPML) into CXR images classification (abbreviated as SPML-CXR), in which only one positive label is annotated per image.

Pancreatic cancer does not show specific symptoms, which makes the diagnosis of early stages difficult with established image-based screening methods and therefore has the worst prognosis among all cancers. Although endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has a key role in diagnostic algorithms for pancreatic diseases, B-mode imaging of the pancreas can be affected by confounders such as chronic pancreatitis, which can make both pancreatic lesion segmentation and classification laborious and highly specialized. To address these challenges, this work proposes a semi-supervised multi-task network (SSM-Net) to leverage unlabeled and labeled EUS images for joint pancreatic lesion classification and segmentation.
