Microaneurysm Counting as a Biomarker for the Hyperperfusion Stage of Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy by Luís Mendes, Ana Rocha, Marta Lopes, Ana Almeida, Nicole Duarte, Débora Reste-Ferreira, António Martinho, Pedro Pereira, Inês Marques, Conceição Lobo, José Cunha-Vaz

“…Abstract Introduction This study aimed to investigate the utility of microaneurysm (MA) counting as a tool for characterizing the hyperperfusion stage of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and to examine the hypothesis that MAs can serve as a surrogate biomarker for the presence of intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMAs). Methods Forty-nine (n = 49) eyes with type 2 diabetes mellitus with NPDR were included in this analysis: 12 with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) levels 43 and 37 with levels 47–53. …”

Adaptive decentralized AI scheme for signal recognition of distributed sensor systems by Shixiong Zhang, Hao Li, Cunzheng Fan, Zhichao Zeng, Chao Xiong, Jie Wu, Zhijun Yan, Deming Liu, Qizhen Sun

“…By fine-tuning pre-trained model with the unlabeled data in each domain, the ADAI scheme can train a series of adaptive AI models for all target domains, significantly reducing the false alarm rate (FAR) and missing alarm rate (MAR) induced by domain differences. The field tests about intrusion signal recognition with distributed optical fiber sensors system demonstrate the efficacy of the ADAI scheme, showcasing a FAR of merely 4.3% and 0%, along with a MAR of only 1.4% and 2.7% within two specific target domains. …”
