Automatic diagnosis for adenomyosis in ultrasound images by deep neural networks.

Objective: To present a new noninvasive technique for automatic diagnosis of adenomyosis, using a novel end-to-end unified network framework based on transformer networks.

Study Design: This is a prospective descriptive study conducted at a university hospital.1654 patients were recruited to the study according to adenomyosis diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS).

Whole genome sequencing provides evidence for Bacillus velezensis SH-1471 as a beneficial rhizosphere bacterium in plants.

Bacillus is widely used in agriculture due to its diverse biological activities. We isolated a Bacillus velezensis SH-1471 from the rhizosphere soil of healthy tobacco, which has broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against a variety of plant pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum, and can be colonized in the rhizosphere of a variety of plants. This study will further explore its mechanism by combining biological and molecular biology methods.

Multi-prior underwater image restoration method via adaptive transmission.

Captured underwater images usually suffer from severe color cast and low contrast due to wavelength-dependent light absorption and scattering. These degradation issues affect the accuracy of target detection and visual understanding. The underwater image formation model is widely used to improve the visual quality of underwater images.

Clinical Features of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis in Children: A Single Center Study.

Background: Hypersensitivity pneumonia (HP) is an interstitial lung disease (ILD) mainly involving small airways and lung parenchyma that is caused by the inhalation of antigens in susceptible people to stimulate the body's immune response.

Methods: A total of 6 Chinese children with HP treated in our center from July 2017 to July 2021 were included in our study.

Results: Among the children, there were 4 males and 2 females, ranging in age from 4 to 14 years.

Underwater image restoration via depth map and illumination estimation based on a single image.

For the enhancement process of underwater images taken in various water types, previous methods employ the simple image formation model, thus obtaining poor restoration results. Recently, a revised underwater image formation model (i.e.

Pulmonary Nocardia infection in a child with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) encompasses a rare and agnogenic group of diffuse alveolar capillary hemorrhagic diseases. Corticosteroid treatment is the globally preferred therapeutic strategy for IPH; however, it can cause immunodeficiency. Nocardia infection often occurs in immunocompromised patients and primarily involves the pleura and lungs.

Simple measuring rod method for the coaxiality of serial holes.

Aiming at the rapid coaxiality measurement of serial hole part with a small diameter, a coaxiality measuring rod for each layer hole with a single LDS (laser displacement sensor) is proposed. This method does not require the rotation angle information of the rod, and the coaxiality of serial holes can be calculated from the measured values of LDSs after randomly rotating the measuring rod several times. With the mathematical model of the coaxiality measuring rod, each factor affecting the accuracy of coaxiality measurement is analyzed by simulation, and the installation accuracy requirements of the measuring rod and LDSs are presented.

A Fast Measuring Method for the Inner Diameter of Coaxial Holes.

A new method for fast diameter measurement of coaxial holes is studied. The paper describes a multi-layer measuring rod that installs a single laser displacement sensor (LDS) on each layer. This method is easy to implement by rotating the measuring rod, and immune from detecting the measuring rod's rotation angles, so all diameters of coaxial holes can be calculated by sensors' values.

Calibration of Laser Beam Direction for Inner Diameter Measuring Device.

The laser triangulation method is one of the most advanced methods for large inner diameter measurement. Our research group proposed a kind of inner diameter measuring device that is principally composed of three laser displacement sensors known to be fixed in the same plane measurement position. It is necessary to calibrate the direction of the laser beams that are emitted by laser displacement sensors because they do not meet the theoretical model accurately.
