Vaginal pessaries are safe, simple and effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. However, they must be fitted and followed-up correctly as serious complications can arise when pessaries are neglected. In this case report, we present the first reported case of a urethrovaginal fistula due to a neglected shelf pessary.

Development of a controlled-release mosquito RNAi yeast larvicide suitable for the sustained control of large water storage containers.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, Indiana University School of Medicine, Raclin-Carmichael Hall, 1234 Notre Dame Ave., South Bend, IN, 46617, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Large household water storage containers are key breeding sites for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which spread diseases like dengue.
- Concerns over insecticide resistance and safety are challenging effective mosquito control, leading researchers to explore RNAi-based yeast larvicides as a solution.
- A study developed a shelf-stable, controlled-release yeast formulation that shows promise for lasting mosquito control, demonstrating effectiveness in various container sizes and remaining active for up to six months.
Multi-Modality Multi-Attribute Contrastive Pre-Training for Image Aesthetics Computing.
IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell
November 2024
In the Image Aesthetics Computing (IAC) field, most prior methods leveraged the off-the-shelf backbones pre-trained on the large-scale ImageNet database. While these pre-trained backbones have achieved notable success, they often overemphasize object-level semantics and fail to capture the high-level concepts of image aesthetics, which may only achieve suboptimal performances. To tackle this long-neglected problem, we propose a multi-modality multi-attribute contrastive pre-training framework, targeting at constructing an alternative to ImageNet-based pre-training for IAC.

IEEE Trans Neural Netw Learn Syst
May 2024
Graph neural networks (GNNs) are widely used for analyzing graph-structural data and solving graph-related tasks due to their powerful expressiveness. However, existing off-the-shelf GNN-based models usually consist of no more than three layers. Deeper GNNs usually suffer from severe performance degradation due to several issues including the infamous "over-smoothing" issue, which restricts the further development of GNNs.

College of Oceanography, Hohai University, Nanjing, 210024, PR China; Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Coastal Ecology and Environmental Studies, College of the Environment and Ecology, Xiamen University, Xiamen, 361005, PR China; National Observation and Research Station for the Taiwan Strait Marine Ecosystem, Xiamen, 361005, PR China. Electronic address:
The distribution and mechanisms of photosynthetically dissolved organic carbon (PDOC) released by marine phytoplankton are frequently neglected and inadequately understood because most studies on carbon sequestration capacity have focused on photosynthetic particulate organic carbon. In this study, percentage extracellular release (PER) and its environmental influencing factors were investigated for 10 cruises in the Taiwan Strait during 2006-2023. The results indicated that the PER increased horizontally from the nearshore to the off-shelf and vertically from the surface to the bottom within the euphotic zone.

JMIR Serious Games

Department of Multimedia Design, National Taichung University of Science and Technology, Taichung City, Taiwan.
Background: Many senior adults are at risk of mental and physical disorders due to a lack of sufficient exercise. Therefore, adherent exercise should be urgently promoted to improve senior adults' muscle strength, preventing falls and conditions caused by physical and cognitive decline. However, off-the-shelf exercise games, so-called exergames, are mainly targeted at the younger generation or children, while senior adults are neglected, when this age group strongly needs exercise.
