This paper presents a new method to estimate the parameters of two types of blurs, linear uniform motion (approximated by a line characterized by angle and length) and out-of-focus (modeled as a uniform disk characterized by its radius), for blind restoration of natural images. The method is based on the spectrum of the blurred images and is supported on a weak assumption, which is valid for the most natural images: the power-spectrum is approximately isotropic and has a power-law decay with the spatial frequency. We introduce two modifications to the radon transform, which allow the identification of the blur spectrum pattern of the two types of blurs above mentioned. The blur parameters are identified by fitting an appropriate function that accounts separately for the natural image spectrum and the blur frequency response. The accuracy of the proposed method is validated by simulations, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is assessed by testing the algorithm on real natural blurred images and comparing it with state-of-the-art blind deconvolution methods.

Department of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background: To investigate the alterations in spontaneous brain activity and the similarities and differences between monocular deprivation amblyopia and binocular deprivation amblyopia.
Methods: Twenty children with binocular deprivation amblyopia, 26 children with monocular deprivation amblyopia and 20 healthy controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. The evaluation of altered spontaneous brain activity was conducted using fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF).

Background: National Medical Licensing Examination (NMLE) is the entrance exam for medical practice in China, and its general medical knowledge test (GMKT) evaluates abilities of medical students to comprehensively apply medical knowledge to clinical practice. This study aimed to identify nonacademic predictors of GMKT performance, which would benefit medical schools in designing appropriate strategies and techniques to facilitate the transition from medical students to qualified medical practitioners.
Methods: In 1202 medical students, we conducted the deletion-substitution-addition (DSA) and structural equation model (SEM) analyses to identify nonacademic predictors of GMKT performance from 98 candidate variables including early life events, physical conditions, psychological and personality assessments, cognitive abilities, and socioeconomic conditions.
Adjustment of the Framingham index by abdominal aortic calcification scores enables a more accurate prediction of long-term cardiac events in general population aged 40 years and above: evidence from NHANES 2013-2014.

Background: Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is considered as a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Our study aimed to investigate whether the predicted risk for cardiac death with the Framingham risk score (FRS) could be further improved with the addition of AAC score in general population aged ≥ 40 years.
Methods: A total of 2971 participants aged ≥ 40 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2013-2014 were followed up.

Lumbar spondylolysis of a single lumbar vertebra with a fracture of the pedicle on the opposite side, as well as fractures of both pedicles and bilateral spondylolysis, have been extensively reported in the literature. These cases are commonly linked to factors such as trauma, sports activities, and spinal surgeries. We report a unique case of a unilateral lumbar spondylolysis with a fracture on the opposite side including the pedicle and lamina.
