Lightweight attention mechanisms for EEG emotion recognition for brain computer interface.

Background: In the realm of brain-computer interfaces (BCI), identifying emotions from electroencephalogram (EEG) data is a difficult endeavor because of the volume of data, the intricacy of the signals, and the several channels that make up the signals.

New Methods: Using dual-stream structure scaling and multiple attention mechanisms (LDMGEEG), a lightweight network is provided to maximize the accuracy and performance of EEG-based emotion identification. Reducing the number of computational parameters while maintaining the current level of classification accuracy is the aim.

Efficacy and safety of parenteral omega 3 fatty acids in ventilated patients with acute lung injury.

Objective: To determine the effects of parenteral omega 3 fatty acids (10% fatty acids) on respiratory parameters and outcome in ventilated patients with acute lung injury.

Measurements And Main Results: Patients were randomized into two groups - one receiving standard isonitrogenous isocaloric enteral diet and the second receiving standard diet supplemented with parenteral omega 3 fatty acids (Omegaven, Fresenius Kabi) for 14 days. Patients demographics, APACHE IV, Nutritional assessment and admission category was noted at the time of admission.

Comparison of bronchodilator responsiveness in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

While asthmatics are known to have a greater response to bronchodilators than patients of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whether the pattern of response also differs has not been explored. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1) were measured before and 20 minutes after inhalation of 200 microg salbutamol in patients of bronchial asthma (n=133) and (COPD) (n=116). Three types of responses (defined as > or = 12% and 200 ml increase in FEV1 or FVC) were identified: increase in (i) only FVC (FVC response), (ii) only FEV1 (FEV1 response), and, (iii) both FVC and FEV1 (double response).
