Published: August 1992

The purpose of this study was to describe the MMPI-ER two-point codes of 492 Hispanic adults who had sustained work-related injuries and who had applied for workers' compensation benefits. More specifically, the focus was on whether there are unique MMPI two-point codes for Hispanic workers with three specific types of DSM-III--R diagnoses--adjustment disorder, anxiety disorder, and major depression. Analysis suggests that psychiatric condition or diagnosis may act as a moderator variable in Hispanic persons' MMPI performance, including MMPI two-point codes.

Purpose: Effective rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery is critical. The early post-operative phase is increasingly managed in outpatient settings, necessitating objective measures such as step counts to monitor rehabilitation progress. However, it remains unclear if commercially available wearables or accelerometers using simple algorithms can accurately count steps in early post-operative conditions.

Introduction India is currently experiencing a significant burden of diabetes mellitus, characterized by its high prevalence and associated complications. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes, leading to blindness. Awareness regarding this ocular complication of diabetes can help prevent vision loss due to early screening and diagnosis.

As screen sizes are becoming larger and larger, exceeding human physical limitations for direct interaction via touching, remote control is inevitable. However, among the current solutions, inertial gyroscopes are susceptible to positional inaccuracies, and gesture recognition is limited by cameras' focus depths and viewing angles. Provided that the issue of ghost points can be effectively addressed, grating antenna light-trapping technology is an ideal candidate for multipoint inputs.

Article Synopsis
  • - Deep convolutional neural networks are commonly used for medical image analysis tasks like identifying lesions, detecting cancer, and segmenting cells, but refining annotations is usually necessary for better model performance, particularly in cell segmentation tasks.
  • - The study introduces a weakly-supervised cell segmentation technique called Multi-Task Cell Segmentation Network (MTCSNet) that requires only two annotated points (centroid and boundary) per cell for training across various types of medical images.
  • - Experimental results show that MTCSNet significantly outperforms existing weakly-supervised methods, demonstrating that using a simpler two-point labeling approach can be sufficient for effective cell segmentation without needing detailed contour annotations.

We present a comparison of the intrinsic saturation of firing frequency in four simple neural models: leaky integrate-and-fire model, leaky integrate-and-fire model with reversal potentials, two-point leaky integrate-and-fire model, and a two-point leaky integrate-and-fire model with reversal potentials. "Two-point" means that the equivalent circuit has two nodes (dendritic and somatic) instead of one (somatic only). The results suggest that the reversal potential increases the slope of the "firing rate vs input" curve due to a smaller effective membrane time constant, but does not necessarily induce saturation of the firing rate.
