Wideband Cooperative Localization Through Generalized Cross-Correlation by Andreas Fuchs, Lukas Wielandner, Klaus Witrisal

“…The algorithm is embedded within a message-passing framework, enabling the estimation of the joint-posterior probability density function of all the nodes. The paper evaluates the localization performance, using both simulated and real measurements in various challenging scenarios, and compares it with a cooperative localization method that uses additional received signal strength measurements inbetween nodes. …”

Development and validation of an AMR-based predictive model for post-PCI contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction by Zhaokai Wang, Shuping Yang, Cheng Li, Chunxue Zhou, Chaofan Wang, Tangxing Jiang, Chengcheng Chen, Mengxin Shao, Tongda Xu

“…Independent risk factors for the development of nomogram were identified using univariate logistic regression, randomized forest regression, multifactorial logistic regression, and LASSO regression analyses. The study evaluated performance by creating calibration curves, analyzing the area under the curve (AUC-ROC) of subjects' work characteristics, examining calibration plots, and conducting decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultMultifactorial logistic regression analysis identified five independent predictors, including eGFR (OR:0.975; 95% CI: 0.970–0.983; P < 0.001), AMR (OR: 2.505; 95% CI: 1.756–3.656; P < 0.001), Serum blood uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) (OR: 1.006; 95% CI: 1.003–1.007; P < 0.001), The triglyceride and glucose index (TyG) (OR: 1.829; 95% CI: 1.346–2.502; P < 0.001), Contrast agent dosage (OR: 1.022; 95% CI: 1.016–1.028; P < 0.001), The nomogram accurately predicted the probability of CIN after PCI. …”
