Association between aortic stenosis severity and contractile reserve measured by two-dimensional strain under low-dose dobutamine testing by Banović Marko, Vujisić-Tešić Bosiljka, Kujačić Vuk, Obradović Slobodan, Crkvenac Zdenko, Ostojić Miodrag

“…Conversely, in both groups the increase of PGLS in 2-chamber view did not reach significance. Conclusion. Two-dimensional strain speckle tracking analysis of myocardial deformation with measurement of peak systolic strain during dobutamine infusion is a feasible and accurate method to determine myocardial longitudinal systolic function and contractile reserve and may contribute to clinical decision making in patients with significant AS.…”

Relationship between physical fitness and executive function in preschool children: a cross-sectional study by Zhaowen Zhou, Yiping Chen, Ke Huang, Feng Zeng, Zhenwen Liang, Nan Wang, Zhuoming Chen, Cheng Deng

“…PF was assessed by the National Physical Fitness Measurement (NPFM), including six physical fitness subtests: 10-m shuttle run test (SRT), standing long jump (SLJ), tennis ball throwing (TBT), double-leg timed hop (DTH) tests, sit-and-reach (SR), and balance beam walking (BBW). Executive function assessments include the dimensional change card sort (DCCS) test, digit span test (DST) and Head-toe-knee-shoulder (HTKS) task, to evaluate cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control respectively. …”

Effective Seed Scheduling for Directed Fuzzing with Function Call Sequence Complexity Estimation by Xi Peng, Peng Jia, Ximing Fan, Cheng Huang, Jiayong Liu

“…However, the distance can only reflect the relationship between the current node and the target node, and it does not consider the impact of the reaching sequence before the target node. To mitigate this problem, we analyzed the properties of the instrumented function’s call graph after selective instrumentation, and the complexity of reaching the target function sequence was estimated. …”
