    Abstract Chronic retracted rotator cuff tears are difficult entities to treat. L-shaped tears are a particular subset of such rotator cuff tears that pose challenges for surgeons attempting to reduce the supraspinatus tendon back to the greater tuberosity. Lack of full coverage of the tuberosity, need for medialization of the tendon, undue tension, and incomplete reconstitution of the rotator cable are some of the reasons L-shaped retracted tears of the supraspinatus can be challenging. Anterior cable reconstruction (ACR) is a technique that has gained increasing recent popularity, as is the use of patch augmentation. The long head of the biceps tendon is often readily available for use in ACR, but when it isn't, patch augmentation is an option for partially repairable rotator cuff tears. These produce similar postoperative improvements in range of motion as well as Constant and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, but comparison to partial repair is still unknown.

    Abstract The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), under construction in South China, primarily aims to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and to precise measure the neutrino oscillation parameters. The data-taking is expected to start in 2024 and the detector plans to run for more than 20 years. The development of the JUNO offline software (JUNOSW) started in 2012, and it is quite challenging to maintain the JUNOSW for such a long time. In the last ten years, tools such as Subversion, Trac, and CMT had been adopted for software development. However, new stringent requirements came out, such as how to reduce the building time for the whole project, how to deploy offline algorithms to an online environment, and how to improve the code quality with code review and continuous integration. To meet the further requirements of software development, modern development tools are evaluated for JUNOSW, such as Git, GitLab, CMake, Docker, and Kubernetes. This contribution will present the software development system based on these modern tools for JUNOSW and the functionalities achieved: CMake macros are developed to simplify the build instructions for users; CMake generator expressions are used to control the build flags for the online and offline environments; a tool named git-junoenv is developed to help users partially checkout and build the software; a script is used to build and deploy the software on the CVMFS server; a Docker image with CVMFS client installed is created for continuous integration; a GitLab agent is set up to manage GitLab runners in Kubernetes with all the configurations in a GitLab repository.

    Abstract In this paper, we extend the techniques used in our previous work to show that there exists a probabilistic Turing machine running within time $O(n^k)$ for all $k\in\mathbb{N}_1$ accepting a language $L_d$ which is different from any language in $\mathcal{P}$, and then further to prove that $L_d\in\mathcal{BPP}$, thus separating the complexity class $\mathcal{BPP}$ from the class $\mathcal{P}$ (i.e., $\mathcal{P}\subsetneq\mathcal{BPP}$). Since the complexity class $\mathcal{BQP}$ of $bounded$ $error$ $quantum$ $polynomial$-$time$ contains the complexity class $\mathcal{BPP}$ (i.e., $\mathcal{BPP}\subseteq\mathcal{BQP}$), we thus confirm the widespread-belief conjecture that quantum computers are $rigorously$ $powerful$ than traditional computers (i.e., $\mathcal{P}\subsetneq\mathcal{BQP}$). We further show that (1). $\mathcal{P}\subsetneq\mathcal{RP}$; (2). $\mathcal{P}\subsetneq\text{co-}\mathcal{RP}$; (3). $\mathcal{P}\subsetneq\mathcal{ZPP}$. Previously, whether the above relations hold or not are long-standing open questions in complexity theory. Meanwhile, the result of $\mathcal{P}\subsetneq\mathcal{BPP}$ shows that $randomness$ plays an essential role in probabilistic algorithm design. In particular, we go further to show that: (1). The number of random bits used by any probabilistic algorithm which accepts the language $L_d$ can not be reduced to $O(\log n)$; (2). There exits no efficient (complexity-theoretic) {\em pseudorandom generator} (PRG) $G:\{0,1\}^{O(\log n)}\rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$; (3). There exists no quick HSG $H:k(n)\rightarrow n$ such that $k(n)=O(\log n)$.

    Abstract Background: The prognosis of congenital chylothorax and ascites ranges from spontaneous resolution to death, but no established examination exists to predict the prognosis. We aimed to develop a clinically useful method to evaluate lymphatic abnormalities using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography in infants with congenital chylothorax and ascites.
    Methods: We retrospectively evaluated infants with congenital chylothorax and chylous ascites who underwent ICG lymphography in our hospital between 2012 and 2022. The ICG lymphography findings was evaluated. We defined the dermal backflow in the trunk as the lymphatic flow from the end of the limb back through the lymphatic vessels on the surface of the trunk. The association between the dermal backflow in the trunk and clinical outcomes, as follows, are investigated: the duration of the drainage period, the duration of endotracheal intubation, and the length of hospital stay.
    Results: Twenty infants had a dermal backflow in the trunk, and ten did not. Clinical outcomes in infants with and without dermal backflow in the trunk were as follows (median): the duration of the drainage period (20 vs. 0 days, p = 0.001), the duration of endotracheal intubation (12 vs. 2 days, p = 0.04), and the length of hospital stay (62 vs. 41 days, p = 0.04), respectively. In multivariate linear regression analysis adjusted for gestational age, the duration of the drainage period was correlated with the dermal backflow in the trunk [exp(B) = 2.62; p = 0.003].
    Conclusions: The dermal backflow in the trunk in ICG lymphography was useful in predicting the clinical course of congenital chylothorax and ascites.

    Abstract In this paper, we first resolve an open question in the probabilistic verification of infinite-state systems (specifically, the {\em stateless probabilistic pushdown systems}). We show that model checking {\em stateless probabilistic pushdown systems (pBPA)} against {\em probabilistic computational tree logic (PCTL)} is generally undecidable. We define the quantum analogues of the {\em probabilistic pushdown systems} and {\em Markov chains}, and further investigate whether it is necessary to define a quantum analogue of {\em probabilistic computational tree logic} to describe the branching-time properties of the {\em quantum Markov chain} defined in this paper. We study its model-checking question and show that the model-checking of {\em stateless quantum pushdown systems (qBPA)} against {\em probabilistic computational tree logic (PCTL)} is generally undecidable, with the immediate corollaries summarized. We define the notion of {\em probabilistic $\omega$-pushdown automaton} for the first time and study the model-checking question of {\em stateless probabilistic $\omega$-pushdown system ($\omega$-pBPA)} against $\omega$-PCTL (defined by Chatterjee et al. in \cite{CSH08}) and show that the model-checking of {\em stateless probabilistic $\omega$-pushdown systems ($\omega$-pBPA)} against $\omega$-PCTL is generally undecidable, with immediate consequences summarized. Our approach is to construct formulas of $\omega$-PCTL encoding the {\em Post Correspondence Problem}.

  9. Book ; Online: How Does Independence Help Generalization? Sample Complexity of ERM on Product Distributions

    Abstract While many classical notions of learnability (e.g., PAC learnability) are distribution-free, utilizing the specific structures of an input distribution may improve learning performance. For example, a product distribution on a multi-dimensional input space has a much simpler structure than a correlated distribution. A recent paper [GHTZ21] shows that the sample complexity of a general learning problem on product distributions is polynomial in the input dimension, which is exponentially smaller than that on correlated distributions. However, the learning algorithm they use is not the standard Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) algorithm. In this note, we characterize the sample complexity of ERM in a general learning problem on product distributions. We show that, even though product distributions are simpler than correlated distributions, ERM still needs an exponential number of samples to learn on product distributions, instead of a polynomial. This leads to the conclusion that a product distribution by itself does not make a learning problem easier -- an algorithm designed specifically for product distributions is needed.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the value of the crossover sign (COS) in predicting treatment outcome in women with a Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) who were treated with ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration.
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of women with CSP who underwent ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration. Based on the relationship between the gestational sac, Cesarean scar and anterior wall of the uterus, CSPs were classified by COS type. Analysis was conducted to investigate the association between COS type (COS-1, COS-2) and treatment outcome. The incidence of treatment failure, retained pregnancy tissue, secondary therapy and bleeding ≥ 200 mL were analyzed.
    Results: In total, 181 eligible patients with CSP, including 90 (49.7%) women with COS-1 and 91 (50.3%) women with COS-2, were analyzed. COS-1 patients had a higher incidence of treatment failure compared with COS-2 patients (25.6% vs 8.8%; P = 0.003), as well as higher rates of retained pregnancy tissue (18.9% vs 6.6%; P = 0.013), secondary therapy (20.0% vs 6.6%; P = 0.002) and bleeding of ≥ 200 mL (13.3% vs 4.4%; P = 0.034). COS-1 and a large gestational sac (30.1-50.0 mm or >50.0 mm in diameter) were associated independently with increased risk of treatment failure (odds ratio, 4.57 (95% CI, 1.66-12.56); P = 0.003, 4.34 (95% CI, 1.35-13.94); P = 0.014 and 10.50 (95% CI, 2.54-43.46); P = 0.001, respectively).
    Conclusions: Ultrasound evaluation of the relationship between the gestational sac and the endometrial line (COS classification) in women with CSP may help to predict treatment outcome among those undergoing vacuum aspiration. Among COS-1 patients, especially those with a gestational sac diameter of >30.0 mm, vacuum aspiration may be discouraged. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
