Baseline liver fibrosis-4 score correlates to the progression of anxiety and cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson’s disease by Yongqing Cheng, Yongqing Cheng, Li Chen, Honghong Zhu, Yingchao Ge, Lei Li, Yan Guo, Xin Wang, Shuangfei You, Guojun He, Shouru Xue

“…GLMM analysis revealed an independent correlation between FIB-4 subgroup*time and several clinical scales including the State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), Semantic Fluency Test (SF), HVLT-total recall, and HVLT-delayed recall, with the high FIB-4 subgroup exhibiting a greater decline in these scores compared to the low FIB-4 subgroup (all p<0.05).ConclusionElevated baseline FIB-4 correlated to more severe baseline daytime sleepiness, motor symptoms, and memory function in PD patients, along with a more rapid decline in cognitive functions such as executive function, information processing ability, and memory. Additionally, a high FIB-4 might confer a protective effect against anxiety.…”

Cascaded algorithm for background modeling using pixel-based and block-based methods by Wen-hua XIE, Ben-shun YI, Jin-sheng XIAO, Liang-cai GAN

“…Block-based background modeling couldn't obtain the exact shape of foreground,while pixel-based approaches couldn't handle non-stationary backgrounds effectively.To solve the problem,a hierarchical scheme for background modeling was presented.The hierarchical model used block-based method proposed to obtain coarse background and foreground regions firstly,and then the operations of pixel-level foreground refining and model updating based on Gaussian mixture model were performed on special regions of the input image.These two algorithms in different levels were combined by adopting an asymmetric feed-forward strategy.Experimental results show that the hierarchical method proposed can obtain the exact shape of foreground and process non-stationary scenes well,in addition,it is insensitive to illumination change and can provide better results than any single approach in it,meanwhile,the integrated computation time is shorter than the sum of those of running the block and pixel-level methods,and satisfies real-time processing.…”
