Automatic Classification of Focal Liver Lesions Based on Multi-Sequence MRI.

Accurate and automated diagnosis of focal liver lesions is critical for effective radiological practice and patient treatment planning. This study presents a deep learning model specifically developed for classifying focal liver lesions across eight different MRI sequences, categorizing them into seven distinct classes. The model includes a feature extraction module that derives multi-level representations of the lesions, a feature fusion attention module to integrate contextual information from the various sequences, and an attention-guided data augmentation module to enrich the training dataset.

The Relationship between Allometric Growth and the Stoichiometric Characteristics of Euhalophyte L. Grown in Saline-Alkali Lands: Biological Desalination Potential Prediction.

The morphological adjustments of euhalophytes are well-known to be influenced by the soil-soluble salt variation; however, whether and how these changes in morphological traits alter the biomass allocation pattern remains unclear, especially under different NaCl levels. Therefore, an allometric analysis was applied to investigate the biomass allocation pattern and morphological plasticity, and the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stoichiometric characteristics of the euhalophyte () at the four soil-soluble salt levels of no salt (NS), light salt (LS), moderate salt (MS), and heavy salt (HS). The results showed that soil-soluble salts significantly change the biomass allocation to the stems and leaves ( < 0.

Plant growth, salt removal capacity, and forage nutritive value of the annual euhalophyte irrigated with saline water.

Sustainable agricultural development in semiarid and arid regions is severely restricted by soil and water salinization. Cultivation of the representative halophyte , which can be irrigated with saline water and cultivated on saline soils, is considered to be a potential solution to the issues of freshwater scarcity, soil salinization, and fodder shortage. However, the salt removal capacity and differences in the forage nutritive value of under different saline water treatments remain unknown.

A Combination of 3D TOF MRA and FIESTA Predicts Surgery-Needed Primary Trigeminal Neuralgia and Specific Offending Vessels.

Background: To investigate the predictive accuracy of three-dimension (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA) and 3D Fast Imaging Employing Steady-state Acquisition (FIESTA) techniques in assessing neurovascular compression (NVC) with specific vessels in patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

Methods: Patients with single-site primary TN undergoing microvascular decompression (MVD) were retrospectively recruited. All patients had available preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

Root Morphology and Rhizosphere Characteristics Are Related to Salt Tolerance of and L.

Halophytes are capable of resisting salinity, and their root system is the part in direct contact with the saline soil environment. The aim of this study was to compare the responses of root morphology and rhizosphere characteristics to salinity between a halophyte, (suaeda), and a glycophyte, L. (sugar beet).

Differential Responses of Dimorphic Seeds and Seedlings to Abiotic Stresses in the Halophyte .

The period between seed germination and seedling establishment is one of the most vulnerable stages in the life cycle of annuals in the saline environments. Although germination characteristics of seeds have been reported, the comparative germination patterns of dimorphic seeds and seedling growth to different abiotic stresses remain poorly understood. In this study, germination responses of dimorphic seeds to light and temperature were compared.

[Reducing the Incidence of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injuries in Surgical Intensive Care Unit].

Background & Problems: Patients with critical illnesses face an elevated risk of medical adhesive relation skin injuries (MARSI), which have negative, subsequent impacts on recovery and quality of healthcare.

Purpose: The aim of this project was to decrease the incidence of MARSI in the surgical intensive care unit and to improve the accuracy of MARSI preventive care implementation.

Resolutions: The intervention included the implementation of product-use cards, high-risk warning slogans, education programs, experience workshops, and a standard prevention-care protocol for MARSI.

Agronomic evaluation of polymer-coated urea and urease and nitrification inhibitors for cotton production under drip-fertigation in a dry climate.

Interest in the use of enhanced-efficiency nitrogen (N) fertilizers (EENFs) has increased in recent years due to their potential to increase crop yield and reduce environmental N loss. Drip-fertigation is widely used for crop production in arid regions to improve water and nutrient use efficiency whereas the effectiveness of EENFs with drip irrigation remains unclear. A field experiment was conducted in 2015 and 2016 to examine the effects of EENFs on yield, N use and quality of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) grown under drip-fertigation in arid NW China.

[Phonological characteristics and rehabilitation training of abnormal velar in children with functional articulation disorders].

Objective: To explore the phonological characteristics and rehabilitation training of abnormal velar in patients with functional articulation disorders (FAD).

Methods: Eighty-seven patients with FAD were observed of the phonological characteristics of velar. Seventy-two patients with abnormal velar accepted speech training.
