Published: April 2020

The recognition and analysis of tables on printed document images is a popular research field of the pattern recognition and image processing. Existing table recognition methods usually require high degree of regularity, and the robustness still needs significant improvement. This paper focuses on a robust table recognition system that mainly consists of three parts: Image preprocessing, cell location based on contour mutual exclusion, and recognition of printed Chinese characters based on deep learning network. A table recognition app has been developed based on these proposed algorithms, which can transform the captured images to editable text in real time. The effectiveness of the table recognition app has been verified by testing a dataset of 105 images. The corresponding test results show that it could well identify high-quality tables, and the recognition rate of low-quality tables with distortion and blur reaches 81%, which is considerably higher than those of the existing methods. The work in this paper could give insights into the application of the table recognition and analysis algorithms.

Background: The integration of connected medical devices (MDs) into health care brings benefits but also introduces new, often challenging-to-assess risks related to cybersecurity, which have the potential to harm patients. Current regulations in the European Union and the United States mandate the consideration of these risks in the benefit-risk analysis (BRA) required for MD approval. This important step in the approval process weighs all the defined benefits of a device with its anticipated risks to ensure that the product provides a positive argument for use.

The 1,2,3-triazole-based chemosensors, synthesized through Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition via 'click chemistry', offer a straightforward yet highly effective method for detecting metal cations and anions with remarkable accuracy, selectivity and sensitivity, making them invaluable across various fields such as chemistry, pharmacology, environmental science and biology. The selective recognition of these ions is crucial due to their significant roles in biological and physiological processes, where even slight concentration variations can have major consequences. The article reviews literature from 2017 to 2024, highlighting advancements in the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole-based ligands and their application (along with sensing mechanism) for detection of various ions causing health and environmental hazards.

Background: The subtypes diagnosis of disease symptom clusters, grounded in the theory of "Treatment in Accordance with Three Categories of Etiologic Factors" and International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11), is a vital strategy for Chinese Medicine (CM) in treating unknown respiratory infectious diseases. However, the classification of disease symptom clusters continues to depend on empirical observations and lacks robust scientific evidence. Consequently, this study seeks to explore the temporal, spatial and demographic distributions characteristics of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptom clusters in China.

Introduction: Abdominoplasty aims to reduce the abdominal excess tissue and tighten the abdominal wall. The tightening of the abdominal wall has structural and habitual consequences on the body, which might have an early effect on electrocardiography (ECG) of the patients through volumetric and pressure changes in thoracic and abdominal cavities. ECG serves as a diagnostic tool for assessing cardiac electrical conductions in routine clinical practice.

Memory intrusion is a characteristic of posttraumatic stress disorder manifesting as involuntary flashbacks of negative events. Interference of memory reconsolidation using cognitive tasks has been employed as a noninvasive therapy to prevent subsequent intrusive retrieval. The present study aims to test whether physical activity, with its cognitive demands and unique physiological effects, may provide a novel practice to reduce later involuntary retrieval via the reconsolidation mechanism.
