Develop a novel and highly efficient framework that decodes Inferior Colliculus (IC) neural activities for phoneme recognition....
We propose using Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) to support an efficient phoneme recognition algorithm, in contrast to widely applied Deep Neural Networks (DNN). The high-dimensional representation a...
We compare our proposed method with multiple baseline machine learning algorithms in recognition quality and learning efficiency, across different hardware platforms. The results show that our method ...
By leveraging brain-inspired HDC for IC neural activity encoding and phoneme classification, we achieve orders of magnitude runtime speedup while improving accuracy in various challenging task setting...
Decoding IC neural activities is an important step to enhance understanding about human auditory system. However, these responses from the central auditory system are noisy and contain high variance, ...
Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is a difficult procedure for early career surgeons. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based surgical step recognition is crucial for establishing context-aware compute...
Patients who underwent LDG at our institution in 2019 were included in this study. Surgical video data were classified into the following nine steps: (1) Port insertion; (2) Lymphadenectomy on the lef...
The dataset comprised 40 LDG videos. Over 1,000,000 frames with annotated labels of the LDG steps were used to train the deep-learning model, with 30 and 10 surgical videos for training and validation...
The developed CNN model automatically recognized the LDG surgical process with relatively high accuracy. Adding more data to this model could provide a fundamental technology that could be used in the...
This study examined college students' food security status, Choose MyPlate familiarity, and confidence in preparing healthy meals using food pantry ingredients....
A sample of 354 student users of a college food pantry in the US southeastern region were surveyed before using the food pantry for the first time....
Of the respondents, 81.3% were food insecure, and 47% of the overall sample experienced very low food security. About one-third (37.3%) recognized MyPlate; of those, 89.4% stated intention to use MyPl...
These findings suggest that familiarity with simple nutritional guidelines such as MyPlate may improve students' intended food pantry selections and healthy meal selection confidence....
Although frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with right anterior temporal lobe (RATL) predominance has been recognized, a uniform description of the syndrome is still missing. This multicenter study aims to...
Retrospective clinical data from 18 centers across 12 countries yielded 360 FTD patients with predominant RATL atrophy through initial neuroimaging assessments....
Common symptoms included mental rigidity/preoccupations (78%), disinhibition/socially inappropriate behavior (74%), naming/word-finding difficulties (70%), memory deficits (67%), apathy (65%), loss of...
This study cumulates the largest RATL cohort unveiling unique RATL symptoms subdued in prior diagnostic guidelines. Our novel approach, combining real-life examples with cognitive tests, offers clinic...
This project is the first international collaboration and largest reported cohort. Further efforts are warranted for precise nomenclature reflecting neural mechanisms. Our results will serve as a clin...
Lysine plays a crucial role in promoting development, enhancing immune function, and improving the function of central nervous system tissues. The two configurational isomers of amino acids have signi...
The aim of this study was to review the existing evidence on burnout levels in midwives and the main related factors....
Mixed studies systematic review....
PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were sourced from 2018 and 2023....
Inclusion criteria: quantitative cross-sectional or qualitative articles published in English within the last 5 years....
studies with undergraduate or trainee midwives, studies examining the factors in a pandemic setting and those not answering the research question. Potential risk of bias was assessed using the Mixed M...
Thirty-six studies were included, with a total of 17,364 participants. There were higher levels of burnout in midwives who were single, under 35-40 years of age, with less than 10 years of experience ...
Although extrinsic work factors such as shifts, workload, pay and interpersonal relationships increase burnout, intrinsic factors such as lack of autonomy and recognition are the main factors related ...
What problem did the study address? Burnout among healthcare workers has been recognized as a global crisis requiring urgent attention, specifically in midwives. What were the main findings? There is ...

No patient or public contribution....
Peptide self-assemblies could leverage their specificity, stability, biocompatibility, and electrochemical activity to create functionalized interfaces for molecular sensing and detection. However, th...
Triage nurses' pivotal role in initial assessment makes their competence crucial. However, the specific impact on Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) recognition and outcomes remains unclear in Jordanian he...
To assess how triage nurses' recognition of ACS diagnosis affects patient outcomes in Jordan....
This retrospective study examined records of 150 ACS patients admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU). Data extraction assessed triage nurses' accuracy in recognizing ACS symptoms and the timelines f...
The sample comprised 150 patients. Most were female (78.7%), aged 45-59.9 years (37.3%). ACS classifications: unstable angina (52.0%), STEMI (38.0%), NSTEMI (10.0%). The study included a cohort of ACS...
Triage nurses' knowledge and competency are crucial determinants of accurate ACS recognition and subsequent clinical outcomes for patients presenting to the ED in Jordan. Investing in ongoing educatio...
