In clinical practice, obstetricians use visual interpretation of fetal heart rate (FHR) to diagnose fetal conditions, but inconsistencies among interpretations can hinder accuracy. This study introduces MTU-Net3+, a deep learning model designed for automated, multi-task FHR analysis, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. The proposed MTU-Net3 + was built upon the UNet3 + architecture, incorporating an encoder, a decoder, full-scale skip connections, and a deep supervision module, and further integrates a self-attention mechanism and bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory layers to enhance its performance.

Inspired by generative artificial intelligence techniques, this study proposes GenDSA, a large-scale pretrained multi-frame generative model-based real-time and low-dose DSA imaging system.
Methods: GenDSA was developed to generate 1-, 2-, and 3-frame sequences following each real frame.
One of the pathogenic causes of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), a dangerous vascular condition that can cause aortic rupture, is autoimmune disorders. Currently, immune cell clustering is becoming more and more refined, and the specific immune cell phenotypes involved are yet unknown. Here, we want to clarify the causal link between TAA risk and 731 immune cell traits.

Background: Neuritin, a small-molecule neurotrophic factor, maintains neuronal cell activity, inhibits apoptosis, promotes process growth, and regulates neural progenitor cell differentiation, migration, and synaptic maturation. Neuritin helps retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) survive optic nerve injury in rats and regenerate axons. However, the role of Neuritin in Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is unclear.

Methods: Ninety-two pregnant women (34.
Aim: This study aimed to characterize the pathological types, diagnosis, chromosomal abnormalities, and postnatal clinical manifestations of right and double aortic arch malformations in fetuses.
Methods: In this retrospective study, all fetuses diagnosed with right or double aortic arch anomalies for whom conventional two-dimensional echocardiography combined with spatio-temporal image correlation was performed at our tertiary referral center between December 2012 and December 2021 were included.
Results: In total, 234 fetuses with aortic arch abnormalities were identified.
The relationship between thyroid dysfunction and gallstone disease (GSD) has been examined by some observational studies. However, evidence about the relationship between thyroid function and GSD among euthyroid subjects was scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between thyroid function and the presence of GSD in a large-sample euthyroid subjects.

Purpose: To detect DEL in PCNSL using multiparametric MRI-based machine learning.
Background: Low-grade gliomas (LGG) account for 20-25% of all gliomas. In this study, we assessed whether metabolic status was correlated with clinical outcomes in LGG patients using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
Methods: LGG patient data were collected from TCGA, and the Molecular Signature Database was used to extract gene sets related to energy metabolism.

Soft tissue sarcomas are mesenchymal tumors that account for about 1% of all malignancies. We retrospectively analyzed a rare case of a painful intra-muscular extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma in the thigh of a 35-year-old man, that had undergone excision. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the mass revealed extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma.

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a type of hypertensive disorder during pregnancy, which is a serious threat to the life of mother and fetus. It is a placenta-derived disease that results in placental damage and necrosis due to systemic small vessel spasms that cause pathological changes such as ischemia and hypoxia and oxidative stress, which leads to fetal and maternal damage. In this study, four types of risk factors, namely, clinical epidemiology, hemodynamics, basic biochemistry, and biomarkers, were used for the initial selection of model parameters related to PE, and factors that were easily available and clinically recognized as being associated with a higher risk of PE were selected based on hospital medical record data.

In the present study, winter jujube organs including fruit, fruiting leaf and foliage leaf, and associated soils in 14 typical orchards in Binzhou City, Shandong Province, China were collected and determined for the mass fractions of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd. The mass fractions of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd in plant tissues generally showed an order of Cu > Zn > Ni > Co > Cd as well as those in the soils decreased as Zn > Cu > Ni > Co > Cd. The values of single factor index and Nemerow pollution index suggested the jujube fruits were not polluted by heavy metals.

This paper examines the paradox in management through the yin-yang lens and how to apply the yin-yang perspective in Chinese indigenous management research through a literature review. Compared with several western philosophical perspectives, yin-yang places more emphasis on the interaction of interdependent contradictions and better describes the complex dynamics of both contradictions. Our review finds that the scholars propose yin-yang as a supplement to and an optimization of western management.
