BackgroundIn glioma patients, multimodality therapy and recurrent tumor can lead to structural brain tissue damage characterized by pathologic findings in MR and PET imaging.However, little is known about the impact of different types of damage on the fiber architecture of the affected white matter.Patients and methodsThis study included 121 pretre
Recent studies have demonstrated that the attention mechanism can effectively enhance the effectiveness of deep convolutional neural networks.In this paper, we propose a “Pyramid channel and spatial attention” (PCSA), which consists of reconstructing the features after pyramidal multiscale convolution by extracting spatial weights and
Abstract Background Schistosoma japonicum infection is an important public health problem, imposing heavy social and economic burdens in 78 countries worldwide.However, the mechanism of transition from chronic to advanced S.japonicum infection remains largely unknown.Evidences suggested that gut microbiota plays a role in the pathogenesis of S.japo
Dealing with confounds is an essential step in large cohort studies to address problems such as unexplained variance and spurious correlations.UK Biobank is a powerful resource for studying associations between imaging and non-imaging measures such as lifestyle factors and health outcomes, in part because of the large subject numbers.However, the r
In this study, the possibility of using ash and orange bleached CMP pulp as replace in the read more full or part of CMP pulp of Mazandaran Wood and Paper Industries (MWPI) for making newsprint was investigated.For this purpose, first, ash and orange CMP pulps were prepared by using cooking conditions of MWPI with 101 gr/lit Na2O at the yield 85% i
