Proportion of Chromosomal Disorders and Their Patterns among Births with Congenital Anomalies in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses by Teshome Gebremeskel Aragie, Girma Seyoum Gedion

“…Worldwide, surveys have shown that the frequency of chromosomal disorders among births with congenital anomalies varies greatly from country to country. It is well known that chromosomal disorders are an important cause of premature death or life-long disability; however, the absence of local epidemiological data on their birth prevalence and outcomes impedes policy and service development in many countries and continents. …”

Performance Degradation of Subsea Shield Tunnel Segment Accounting for Concrete Strength Loss and Steel Bar Corrosion by Jiaqi Guo, Weiling Yang, Chong Xu, Bo Peng, Jinhai Lin, Yuan Qian

“…When steel bars corrode for 120 days, the outer cracks continue to extend, and the concrete around the inner steel bars just begin to crack initiation; when corrode for 20 years, the length of the inner cracks gradually exceeds that of the outer cracks, and the inner cracks initiating from different steel bars coalesce with each other and form a continuous failure surface, causing great serious damage to the segment. Due to the difference in concrete strength, for the outer layer, the evolution processes of steel bar corrosion-induced cracks show the characteristics of early initiation, slow propagation, and late coalescence, and those for the inner layer have the characteristics of late initiation, rapid propagation, and early coalescence. …”

Weakly Supervised Nuclei Segmentation with Point-Guided Attention and Self-Supervised Pseudo-Labeling by Yapeng Mo, Lijiang Chen, Lingfeng Zhang, Qi Zhao

“…Due to the labor-intensive manual annotations for nuclei segmentation, point-supervised segmentation based on nuclei coordinate supervision has gained recognition in recent years. Despite great progress, two challenges hinder the performance of weakly supervised nuclei segmentation methods: (1) The stable and effective segmentation of adjacent cell nuclei remains an unresolved challenge. (2) Existing approaches rely solely on initial pseudo-labels generated from point annotations for training, and inaccurate labels may lead the model to assimilate a considerable amount of noise information, thereby diminishing performance. …”
