Applicability and comparison of the sub-Saharan Africa and original WHO maternal near-miss criteria in a rural hospital in Western Tanzania by Olivier E van der Cammen, Steve P Chobo, Justine S Kasitu, Ipyana Mwampagatwa, Rob Mooij, Myrrith H Hulsbergen

“…There were 948 livebirths, consequently leading to maternal near-miss ratio (MNMR) of 50 (95% CI 34-60) and 11 (95% CI 4 – 16) per 1,000 livebirths for the SSA criteria and respectively the WHO MNM criteria. The difference in these numbers seems to be primarily attributed to the addition of defined severe complications in the clinical criteria and the adapted threshold for blood transfusions. …”

Odor induced functional connectivity alteration of POC-anterior frontal cortex-medial temporal cortex in patients with mild cognitive impairment by Weiping Li, Jianan Zhou, Shuying Li, Min Wu, Yajing Zhu, Qian Chen, Futao Chen, Xuefeng Ma, Xin Zhang, Zhengge Wang, Jiaming Lu, Bing Zhang, Bing Zhang, Bing Zhang, Bing Zhang, Bing Zhang, Bing Zhang, Bing Zhang

“…All subjects underwent cognitive assessments, olfactory behavior tests, and odor-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Differences in FC within olfactory circuits were analyzed using the generalized psychophysiological interaction (gPPI) method.ResultsMild cognitive impairment patients showed significant cognitive deficits, including lower scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), alongside impairments in episodic memory, visuospatial memory, executive function, language, attention, olfactory threshold, and total olfactory function. …”

Infrared Small Target Detection via Modified Fast Saliency and Weighted Guided Image Filtering by Yi Cui, Tao Lei, Guiting Chen, Yunjing Zhang, Gang Zhang, Xuying Hao

“…Finally, the differential image is calculated by subtracting the predicted image from the original one, and IR small targets are detected through a simple thresholding. Experimental results on four sequences demonstrate that the proposed method can not only suppress background clutter effectively under strong edge interference but also detect targets accurately with a low false alarm rate.…”
