Challenges and Opportunities for Atrial Fibrillation Management by Minsi Cai, Jordi Heijman, Hanjia Gao

“…However, numerous challenges in AF management remain at the disease, patient, and population levels, including an incomplete understanding of basic mechanisms that can be clinically targeted; heterogenous progressive natural history; poor correlation between rhythm and symptoms/outcomes; as well as suboptimal detection methods and treatment options. Recent advances in disease perception in combination with modern monitoring devices, state-of-the art computational models, and novel antiarrhythmic drugs and ablation strategies can contribute to addressing these issues, ultimately leading to a paradigm shift in AF diagnosis, classification, and treatment. …”

Synergistic Multi-Granularity Rough Attention UNet for Polyp Segmentation by Jing Wang, Chia S. Lim

“…To address these issues, we propose the Synergistic Multi-Granularity Rough Attention U-Net (S-MGRAUNet), which integrates three key modules: the Multi-Granularity Hybrid Filtering (MGHF) module for extracting multi-scale contextual information, the Dynamic Granularity Partition Synergy (DGPS) module for enhancing polyp-background differentiation through adaptive feature interaction, and the Multi-Granularity Rough Attention (MGRA) mechanism for further optimizing boundary recognition. Extensive experiments on the ColonDB and CVC-300 datasets demonstrate that S-MGRAUNet significantly outperforms existing methods while achieving competitive results on the Kvasir-SEG and ClinicDB datasets, validating its segmentation accuracy, robustness, and generalization capability, all while effectively reducing computational complexity. …”
