    Zero-Shot Day-Night Domain Adaptation

    Abstract Low-light conditions not only hamper human visual experience but also degrade the model's performance on downstream vision tasks. While existing works make remarkable progress on day-night domain adaptation, they rely heavily on domain knowledge derived from the task-specific nighttime dataset. This paper challenges a more complicated scenario with border applicability, i.e., zero-shot day-night domain adaptation, which eliminates reliance on any nighttime data. Unlike prior zero-shot adaptation approaches emphasizing either image-level translation or model-level adaptation, we propose a similarity min-max paradigm that considers them under a unified framework. On the image level, we darken images towards minimum feature similarity to enlarge the domain gap. Then on the model level, we maximize the feature similarity between the darkened images and their normal-light counterparts for better model adaptation. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the pioneering effort in jointly optimizing both aspects, resulting in a significant improvement of model generalizability. Extensive experiments demonstrate our method's effectiveness and broad applicability on various nighttime vision tasks, including classification, semantic segmentation, visual place recognition, and video action recognition.

    Abstract Aim: This study innovatively proposed the 1-min sit-to-stand test (1-min STST) as an assessment tool for functional capacity in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), in which its feasibility and safety were investigated.
    Methods: This was a prospective, single-center cohort study. The 1-min STST was performed after the first 48 h of admission when vital signs and Borg score were collected. Lung ultrasound was used to measure pulmonary edema by B-lines before and after the test.
    Results: Seventy-five patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 40% were in functional class IV on admission. The mean age was 58.3 ± 15.7 years and 40% of the patients were male. 95% patients accomplished the test and the average number of repetitions was 18 ± 7. No adverse event was recorded during or after the 1-min STST. Blood pressure, heart rate, and degree of dyspnea were increased after the test (all
    Conclusion: The application of the 1-min STST in early stage of ADHF appeared to be safe and feasible, which induce neither adverse event nor pulmonary edema. It may serve as a new tool of functional capacity assessment, as well as a reference of exercise rehabilitation.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the effects of intravenous hydration in preventing post-contrast outcomes in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m
    Methods: Hospitalized patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m
    Results: In total, 794 patients were included in the study, with 284 receiving intravenous hydration, and 510 not. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 210 pairs were generated. No significant differences were found in the outcomes between the intravenous hydration and no intravenous hydration groups: PC-AKI by KDIGO, 25.2% vs 24.8% (odds ratio (OR), 0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.57-1.50); PC-AKI by ESUR, 31.0% vs 25.2% (OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.86-2.08); chronic dialysis at discharge, 4.3% vs 3.3% (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.56-4.50); in-hospital mortality, 1.9% vs 0.5% (OR, 4.08; 95% CI, 0.58-81.08). Overlap propensity score-weighted analysis also showed no significant effects of intravenous hydration on the incidences of the post-contrast outcomes.
    Conclusions: Intravenous hydration was not associated with lower risks of PC-AKI, chronic dialysis at discharge, and in-hospital mortality in patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m
    Clinical relevance statement: This study provides new evidence in supporting that intravenous hydration is not beneficial to patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m
    Key points: • Intravenous hydration before and after intravenous administration of ICM is not associated with lower risks in PC-AKI, chronic dialysis at discharge, and in-hospital mortality in patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m

    Abstract Purpose: The indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICG-R15) is of great importance in the accurate assessment of hepatic functional reserve for safe hepatic resection. To assist clinicians to evaluate hepatic functional reserve in medical institutions that lack expensive equipment, we aimed to explore a novel approach to predict ICG-R15 based on CT images and clinical data in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    Methods: In this retrospective study, 350 eligible patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to the training cohort (245 patients) and test cohort (105 patients). Radiomics features and clinical factors were analyzed to pick out the key variables, and based on which, we developed the random forest regression, extreme gradient boosting regression (XGBR), and artificial neural network models for predicting ICG-R15, respectively. Pearson's correlation coefficient (R) was adopted to evaluate the performance of the models.
    Results: We extracted 660 CT image features in total from each patient. Fourteen variables significantly associated with ICG-R15 were picked out for model development. Compared to the other two models, the XGBR achieved the best performance in predicting ICG-R15, with a mean difference of 1.59% (median, 1.53%) and an
    Conclusion: The proposed approach that incorporates the optimal radiomics features and clinical factors can allow for individualized prediction of ICG-R15 value of patients with HCC, regardless of the specific equipment and detection reagent (NO.

    Abstract This letter introduces a novel resource allocation algorithm for achieving max-min fairness (MMF) in a rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) empowered multi-antenna broadcast channel. Specifically, we derive the closed-form solution for the optimal allocation of the common rate among users and the power between the common and private streams for a given practical low-complexity beamforming direction design. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm achieves 90% of the MMF rate on average obtained by the conventional iterative optimization algorithm while only takes an average of 0.1 millisecond computational time, which is three orders of magnitude lower than the conventional algorithm. It is therefore a practical resource allocation algorithm for RSMA.

    Abstract: ... and cardiac autonomic function by using heart-rate recovery at 1 min (HRR1) after exercise ...

    Abstract Background: Dysfunction of autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the development of pulmonary hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the interaction between balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and cardiac autonomic function by using heart-rate recovery at 1 min (HRR1) after exercise as a surrogate marker.
    Methods and results: We retrospectively enrolled 89 consecutive patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension who underwent BPA from May, 2018 to Jan, 2021. According to hemodynamics at follow-up, patients were categorized as BPA responders if they met one or both of the following criteria: (1) mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≤ 30 mmHg and (2) a reduction of pulmonary vascular resistance ≥ 30%. Compared with baseline, HRR1 tended to increase within 7 days after the first BPA session, and this improvement persisted at follow-up. HRR1 at baseline and at follow-up were associated with well-validated markers of CTEPH severity, including N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, mean pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance. Furthermore, the change of HRR1 from baseline to follow-up was also associated with the change of those variables. After adjustment for confounders, baseline HRR1 was still a strong independent predictor of BPA outcome. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis showed that the cutoff value for HRR1 in predicting BPA outcome was 19 beats.
    Conclusions: BPA could significantly improve HRR1, suggesting the alleviation of sympathovagal imbalance. Easily available and non-invasive HRR1 seems to be a useful tool in predicting outcome of BPA and dynamically monitoring the efficacy of BPA.

    Abstract: ... inundation and air-exposure periods in high- and low-tide seasons in the Min River Estuary in southeast China ...

    Abstract In order to accurately estimate the effects of tidal scenarios on the CH 4 emission from tidal wetlands, we examined the CH 4 effluxes, dissolved CH 4 concentrations, and environmental factors (including in situ pH, Eh and electrical conductivity, porewater SO 4 2− , NO 3 − , and NH 4 + ) during inundation and air-exposure periods in high- and low-tide seasons in the Min River Estuary in southeast China. By applying static and floating chambers, our results showed that the CH 4 effluxes during the inundation periods were relatively constant and generally lower than those during the air-exposed periods in both seasons. When compared, the CH 4 effluxes during the air-exposed periods were significantly higher in the high-tide season than those in the low-tide season. In contrast, CH 4 effluxes during the inundation periods were significantly lower in the high-tide season than those in the low-tide season. During the inundation periods, dissolved CH 4 concentrations were inversely proportional to in situ Eh. Under air-exposed conditions, CH 4 effluxes were proportional to in situ pH in both seasons, while the dissolved CH 4 concentrations were negatively correlated with the porewater SO 4 2− concentrations in both seasons. Our results highlighted that CH 4 effluxes were more dynamic between inundation and air-exposure periods compared to low- and high-tide seasons.

    Abstract Background: Attenuated heart rate recovery at 1 min (HRR1) was demonstrated to correlate with poor prognosis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, whereas its role in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) remains unclear.
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between HRR1 and functional status, echocardiography, hemodynamics, and prognosis of CTEPH.
    Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with CTEPH who underwent right heart catheterization and cardiopulmonary exercise test between June 2014 to October 2020 in Fuwai hospital. The primary outcome was clinical worsening. Linear regression was performed to assess the association between HRR1 and established markers of CTEPH severity. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal cutoff of HRR1. Cox regression models were used to assess the association between HRR1 and clinical worsening.
    Results: A total of 211 patients with CTEPH were included in the study. After adjusting for confounders, HRR1 positively correlated with 6-min walk distance, mixed venous oxygen saturation, and peak oxygen consumption, and negatively correlated with NT-proBNP, pulmonary vascular resistance, and ventilatory equivalent of carbon dioxide. Compared with patients with HRR1 ≥16 beats, patients with HRR1 <16 beats had approximately a 3-fold risk of experiencing clinical worsening and the risk escalated with time.
    Conclusion: HRR1 could reflect disease severity and was independently associated with prognosis in patients with CTEPH.
