Online detection of impurities content in the corn deep-bed drying process is the key technology to ensure stable operation and to provide data support for self-adapting control of drying equipment. In this study, an automatic approach to corn image acquisition, impurity classification and recognition, and impurities content detection based on machine vision technology are proposed. The multi-scale retinex with colour restore (MSRCR) algorithm is utilized to enhance the original image for eliminating the influence of noise. HSV (Hue, saturation, value) colour space parameter threshold is set for image segmentation, and the classification and recognition results are obtained combined with the morphological operation. The comprehensive evaluation index is adopted to quantitatively evaluate the test results. Online detection results show that the comprehensive evaluation index of broken corncobs, broken bracts, and crushed stones are 83.05%, 83.87%, and 87.43%, respectively. The proposed algorithm can quickly and effectively identify the impurities in corn images, providing technical support and a theoretical basis for monitoring impurities content in the corn deep-bed drying process.

General Practice Clinical Unit, Faculty of Clinical Medicine, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a global emergency related to overprescribing of antibiotics. Few studies have explored how prescribing behaviours may change as the consequence of changing resistance. Understanding how contextual factors influence antibiotic prescribing will facilitate improved communication strategies to promote appropriate antibiotic prescribing.

In the present study, a short instrument (eight-item self-report, five-point Likert scales) was developed and validated to assess self-perceived mental health problems in online learning. The participants were 398 Romanian university students from nine different faculties. The factor structure of the scale was assessed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (Principal Axis Factoring extraction method) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis.

The Sound Sensitivity Symptoms Questionnaire version 2 (SSSQ2) is a brief clinical tool with six items designed to be used (1) as a measure for severity of sound sensitivity symptoms in general (based on its total score) and (2) as a checklist to screen different forms of sound sensitivity. The objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the SSSQ2. This was a cross-sectional study.

Neoplasms in the Nasal Cavity Identified and Tracked with an Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Nasal Endoscopic Diagnostic System.

Bioengineering (Basel)

Department of Otolaryngology and Neck Surgery, Tongji Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai 200065, China.

Objective: We aim to construct an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted nasal endoscopy diagnostic system capable of preliminary differentiation and identification of nasal neoplasia properties, as well as intraoperative tracking, providing an important basis for nasal endoscopic surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1050 video data of nasal endoscopic surgeries involving four types of nasal neoplasms. Using Deep Snake, U-Net, and Att-Res2-UNet, we developed a nasal neoplastic detection network based on endoscopic images.

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) appears to share some pathomechanisms with metabolic syndrome (MS), such as proinflammatory state, increased oxidative stress, changes in adipokine profile, and coagulation system activation.

Aim And Objectives: To evaluate clinical and laboratory parameters of MS in CSU patients and to assess relationship of MS with duration and severity of CSU, Ig-E, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), C-reactive protein (CRP), and autologous serum skin test (ASST).

Materials And Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 131 CSU cases and 131 controls who were age- and sex-matched.
