Effects of Mawangdui exercise intervention on the pulmonary function, physical fitness and quality of life in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: Physical exercise intervention in pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended to increase strength, endurance, and flexibility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, certain physical intervention may be restrictive to COPD patients, as it induces fatigue and shortness of breath. Mawangdui exercise, a low-to-medium-intensity aerobic exercise, has been gaining popularity in China as an adjuvant physical therapy, particularly for patients with contraindications to exercise, to improve their health.

TF-BERT: Tensor-based fusion BERT for multimodal sentiment analysis.

Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA) has gained significant attention due to the limitations of unimodal sentiment recognition in complex real-world applications. Traditional approaches typically focus on using the Transformer for fusion. However, these traditional approaches often fall short because the Transformer can only process two modalities simultaneously, leading to insufficient information exchange and potential loss of emotional data.

Patterns of microbial contamination on Northumberland Strait shores.

The re-emergence of episodic faecal contamination of Parlee and Murray Corner beaches, on the Northumberland Strait of New Brunswick, Canada, in 2017, raised renewed community concerns on the health, environmental and tourism sustainability of these community resources, and led to creation of an Integrated Watershed Management Plan for the Shediac Bay Watershed (October 2021). In response we have to date compiled, curated and made accessible 205,772 microbial water quality data records spanning over 80 years from Southeastern New Brunswick and the Northumberland Strait. This dataset derives in large part from Shellfish Surveys completed by Environment and Climate Change Canada, along with data generated by multiple government agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations and citizen science sources.

Effects of Systematicity on Word Learning in Preschool Children: The Case of Semitic Morpho-Phonology.

This study investigated the role of systematicity in word learning, focusing on Semitic morpho-phonology where words exhibit multiple levels of systematicity. Building upon previous research on phonological templates, we explored how systematicity based on such templates, whether they encode meanings or not, influenced word learning in preschool-age Hebrew-speaking children. We examined form-meaning systematicity, where words share phonological templates and carry similar categorical meanings of manner-of-motion (e.

Effects of amide proton transfer imaging in diagnosis, grading and prognosis prediction of cervical cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of Amide Proton Transfer (APT) imaging in predicting the histopathological characteristics of cervical cancer.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, covering studies until December 27, 2023. The meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15 and Review Manager 5.
