    Abstract The cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations of sleep quality and physical activity with diabetes quality of life in Korean Americans with type 2 diabetes. A total of 119 Korean American adults with type 2 diabetes were recruited from Korean communities in Arizona, USA. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for sleep quality, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for physical activity, and the Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) for quality of life were assessed. Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and multiple linear regressions were conducted. The mean score of the total DQOL was 1.85 (SD = 0.28). Approximately 70% of those had poor sleep quality and a third showed low physical activity. The findings demonstrated that both sleep quality and low physical activity were independent predictors of overall DQOL scores, indicating that poor sleep quality and low physical activity are associated with reduced Diabetes Quality of Life in this demographic. Specifically, the satisfaction subscale of DQOL showed significant associations with low physical activity levels, suggesting that enhancing physical activity could potentially improve satisfaction within DQOL. Furthermore, the impact subscale was positively related to sleep quality, suggesting that better sleep quality might significantly lower the perceived negative impact of diabetes on daily life. No significant associations were found between sleep quality, physical activity, and the worry subscale of DQOL in the adjusted models. The study indicates that addressing sleep quality and promoting physical activity are essential components of diabetes management strategies aimed at improving the quality of life for Korean Americans with type 2 diabetes. This underlines the need for tailored interventions that consider cultural preferences and individual needs to enhance diabetes outcomes and quality of life in this population.

    Abstract Depressive symptoms in adults with diabetes are influenced by sociodemographic status, health-related behaviors, and comorbid diseases. This study aimed to examine the factors related to depressive symptoms in Korean adults with diabetes, using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys for 2014, 2016, and 2018. A total of 1529 Korean adults with diabetes were selected as subjects for the analysis. The age group of the participants was 19-80 years, with a mean age of 63.34 ± 0.68 years. The depressive symptoms and severity were assessed using the Korean version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, and univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used by applying a complex sample analysis method. The findings showed that 9.6% of Korean adults with diabetes exhibited moderate to severe depressive symptoms, which gradually decreased during 2014-2018. The most significant independent factors of depressive symptoms were living without a spouse, unemployment, low household income, fair or poor subjective health conditions, high perceived stress, a diabetes duration of over 20 years, and stroke. In females, living without a spouse, low household income, poor subjective health condition, high perceived stress, stroke, and coronary heart disease were significantly associated with depressive symptoms. In males, living without a spouse, unemployment, poor subjective health condition, high perceived stress, and hypertension were significantly associated with depressive symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of regular screening for depressive symptoms in patients with diabetes as the prevalence of depressive symptoms in people with diabetes may be higher than those in the general population. Future studies should also examine the development and effectiveness of psychosocial intervention programs to decrease depressive symptoms in patients with diabetes, considering cost-effective and time-saving approaches.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of the study was to describe the optical coherence tomographic features of a cat with acute corneal hydrops.
    Animal studied: A 4-year-old castrated male domestic shorthaired showing conjunctival redness, ocular discharge, and intermittent squinting of both eyes with asymmetrical disease onset.
    Methods: Complete ophthalmic examination and optical coherence tomography were performed.
    Results: On slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination, severe intrastromal fluid pockets with profound bullae were observed in the dorsomedial region in both eyes. A diagnosis of feline acute corneal hydrops was made in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography revealed profound stromal lamellar separation representing heterogeneous reflective areas, and fluid pockets and bullae of variable size were concomitant to Descemet's membrane detachment demonstrated by a well-defined homogeneous hyporeflective area. Upon reevaluation 30 days during healing process for both eyes, the thickened epithelia and the thinning pan-stromal areas were identified as homogeneously hyper-reflective epithelia and as heterogeneous hyper-reflectivity, respectively. A thickened posterior corneal surface was shown as heterogeneous with patchy hyper-reflectivity. Additionally, Descemet's membrane detachment in the initial presentation had two distinct forms suspicious of Descemet's membrane rupture in each eye: a break with rolled ends and a break with flat ends.
    Conclusion: To the author's knowledge, this study represents the first documentation of in vivo detection of Descemet's membrane detachment and presumed rupture in a cat experiencing acute corneal hydrops. These observations strongly indicate that Descemet's membrane detachment/rupture acts as a most likely risk factor in the onset of acute corneal hydrops in cats.

    Abstract The drift parameter of a diffusion model can be consistently estimated by the MLE based on the Euler approximation even when the volatility function is misspecified. Contrastingly, all other commonly used estimators such as the exact MLE, the MLE by Aït-Sahalia, the MLE by Kessler and the MLE based on the Milstein approximation generally yield inconsistent drift estimates if the volatility function is misspecified.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) as a chronic disease is a major public health problem worldwide. It is important to improve the quality of life of people with DM, especially health-related aspects, which should be monitored and managed as part of diabetes management. Accordingly, this study investigated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and identified predictors of HRQoL in Korean adults with DM using the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII) 2016-2018. This was a cross-sectional study with a stratified multistage probability sampling design that collected data from 1228 participants aged 30-80 years diagnosed with DM. HRQoL was measured using the Euro Quality of Life Five Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire. Analyses consisted of one-way analysis of variance,

    Abstract Mitral annular calcium (MAC) may produce mitral stenosis (MS) if its quantity is massive. We define massive MAC as the presence of a huge quantity of calcium underlying the posterior mitral leaflet and extending across all or nearly all of the ventricular aspect of the anterior mitral leaflet. This report was prompted to emphasize the hazards of performing mitral valve replacement in patients with MS secondary to massive MAC. The clinical data and morphology of the operatively excised mitral valves from the 11 patients who had mitral valve replacement for MS secondary to massive MAC are described. Of the 11 patients, 6 died postoperatively, 5 of whom had 4+/4+ MAC. The high mortality in these patients suggests that the decision to perform mitral valve replacement needs to be carefully considered if the quantity of MAC is massive.

    Abstract Summary: Biomedical named entity recognition (NER) plays a crucial role in extracting information from documents in biomedical applications. However, many of these applications require NER models to operate at a document level, rather than just a sentence level. This presents a challenge, as the extension from a sentence model to a document model is not always straightforward. Despite the existence of document NER models that are able to make consistent predictions, they still fall short of meeting the expectations of researchers and practitioners in the field. To address this issue, we have undertaken an investigation into the underlying causes of inconsistent predictions. Our research has led us to believe that the use of adjectives and prepositions within entities may be contributing to low label consistency. In this article, we present our method, ConNER, to enhance a label consistency of modifiers such as adjectives and prepositions. By refining the labels of these modifiers, ConNER is able to improve representations of biomedical entities. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated on four popular biomedical NER datasets. On three datasets, we achieve a higher F1 score than the previous state-of-the-art model. Our method shows its efficacy on two datasets, resulting in 7.5%-8.6% absolute improvements in the F1 score. Our findings suggest that our ConNER method is effective on datasets with intrinsically low label consistency. Through qualitative analysis, we demonstrate how our approach helps the NER model generate more consistent predictions.

    Abstract The convergent synthesis of a fully elaborated C13-C27 fragment of madeirolide A has been achieved. The key features of the synthesis include the stereocontrolled construction of both the THF and THP rings via visible-light-induced iridium-catalyzed radical cyclization and the late-stage union of the two oxacyclic subunits through nickel-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling.

    Abstract Extraction of a residual root tip and implant placement can be challenging because of the complexity and invasiveness of the procedure. Improvised application of a guided implant surgery may avoid such challenges. This clinical report presents an innovative technique combining a 3-dimensionally printed surgical guide with conventional instrumentation for a residual root tip extraction in a minimally invasive and predictable way.

    Abstract Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are becoming increasingly popular as a crucial component of virtual reality (VR). However, contemporary HMDs enforce a simple optical structure due to their constrained form factor, which impedes the use of multiple lens elements that can reduce aberrations in general. As a result, they introduce severe aberrations and imperfections in optical imagery, causing visual fatigue and degrading the immersive experience of being present in VR. To address this issue without modifying the hardware system, we present a novel, to the best of our knowledge, software-driven approach that compensates for the aberrations in HMDs in real time. Our approach involves pre-correction that deconvolves an input image to minimize the difference between its after-lens image and the ideal image. We characterize the specific wavefront aberration and point spread function (PSF) of the optical system using Zernike polynomials. To achieve higher computational efficiency, we improve the conventional deconvolution based on hyper-Laplacian prior by adopting a regularization constraint term based on L2 optimization and the input-image gradient. Furthermore, we implement our solution entirely on a graphics processing unit (GPU) to ensure constant and scalable real-time performance for interactive VR. Our experiments evaluating our algorithm demonstrate that our solution can reliably reduce the aberration of the after-lens images in real time.
