Effectiveness of Contrast Agents and Molecular Indicators in Alzheimer's Diagnosis Through PET and SPECT Imaging on Animal Models by Yasaman Abaszadeh, Ramin Ardalani, Athena Dehghan Najm Abadi

“…Upon examining the postmortem brains of AD patients, the disease is associated with neuropathological features such as the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques, also known as senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) of highly phosphorylated tau in the brain. Early detection and diagnosis of AD are crucial, but current research on the effectiveness of contrast agents and molecules is limited. …”

A Fusion Method Incorporating Dual-Attention Mechanism and Transfer Learning Into UNet++ for Remote Sensing Image Coastline Extraction by Yanru Song, Bai Xue, Yueyue Meng, Xiang Qin, Yixiao Li, Qi Liu

“…Experimental results using the GID dataset for coastline segmentation demonstrate that compared to the latest algorithms such as PSPNet, CS-Deeplab v3+, and UNet++, the improved UNet++ network achieves lower boundary blurriness and more accurate segmentation results for coastlines, with fewer missed and false detections. Amidst the proliferation of high-spatial resolution remote sensing image data, the utilization of the enhanced UNet++ model for coastline extraction has demonstrated remarkable abilities in preserving boundary information and achieving superior semantic segmentation performance. …”

Evaluation of disparities in hospitalisation outcomes for deaf and hard of hearing patients with COVID-19: a multistate analysis of statewide inpatient databases from Florida, Mary... by Hiraku Kumamaru, Loren G Miller, Rie Sakai-Bizmark, Dennys Estevez, Emily H Marr, Jong Hyon Lee, Frank Wu

“…Multivariable log-transformed linear regression models found an association of patients’ hearing loss status with longer length of stay (adjusted mean ratio (aMR) 1.15, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.27, p<0.01), higher hospitalisation cost (aMR 0.96, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.22, p=0.049) and lower hospitalisation cost per day (aMR 0.96, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.00, p=0.04). We did not detect any significant relationships with other outcomes.Conclusions Our findings suggest that higher hospitalisation costs were attributed to prolonged stays rather than costly interventions, such as ICU care. …”
