A wide field-of-view scanning endoscope for whole anal canal imaging

We report a novel wide field-of-view (FOV) scanning endoscope, the AnCam, which is based on contact image sensor (CIS) technology used in commercialized business card scanners. The AnCam can capture the whole image of the anal canal within 10 seconds with a resolution of 89 μm, a maximum FOV of 100 mm × 120 mm, and a depth-of-field (DOF) of 0.65 mm at 5.9 line pairs per mm (lp/mm). We demonstrate the performance of the AnCam by imaging the entire anal canal of pigs and tracking the dynamics of acetowhite testing. We believe the AnCam can potentially be a simple and convenient solution for screening of the anal canal for dysplasia and for surveillance in patients following treatment for anal cancer

NTIRE 2020 Challenge on Spectral Reconstruction from an RGB Image

This paper reviews the second challenge on spectral reconstruction from RGB images, i.e., the recovery of whole- scene hyperspectral (HS) information from a 3-channel RGB image. As in the previous challenge, two tracks were provided: (i) a "Clean" track where HS images are estimated from noise-free RGBs, the RGB images are themselves calculated numerically using the ground-truth HS images and supplied spectral sensitivity functions (ii) a "Real World" track, simulating capture by an uncalibrated and unknown camera, where the HS images are recovered from noisy JPEG-compressed RGB images. A new, larger-than-ever, natural hyperspectral image data set is presented, containing a total of 510 HS images. The Clean and Real World tracks had 103 and 78 registered participants respectively, with 14 teams competing in the final testing phase. A description of the proposed methods, alongside their challenge scores and an extensive evaluation of top performing methods is also provided. They gauge the state-of-the-art in spectral reconstruction from an RGB image

Uncontrolled asthma and its risk factors in adult Chinese asthma patients

Background: Asthma affects a large number of patients in China, but relatively little is known about asthma management among Chinese patients. This study aims to estimate asthma control rate among adult Chinese patients and to identify predictors associated with uncontrolled asthma. Methods: A total of 4125 asthma patients aged ⩾17 years and representing all regions of mainland China except Tibet were surveyed. Asthma control status was assessed using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) and classified as controlled (ACT score ⩾ 20) and uncontrolled (ACT score ⩽ 19). A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify predictors associated with uncontrolled asthma from the factors including demographics, rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and treatment adherence. Results: Asthma was controlled in 44.9%, and uncontrolled in 55.1% of the study participants. High rates of uncontrolled asthma were found in patients with treatment nonadherence (77.3%), poor adherence (66.2%), no schooling (64.8%), or obesity (62.9%). The risk of uncontrolled asthma was much higher in the treatment nonadherence group than the complete adherence group [odds ratio (OR) = 4.55 (3.68–5.62), p 3 years [OR = 1.22 (1.07–1.39), p = 0.004] and age ⩾ 45 years [OR = 1.23 (1.07–1.41), p = 0.004]. Conclusions: About half of the participants in this study had uncontrolled asthma. Treatment nonadherence is one of the significant predictors, which is very strongly associated with uncontrolled asthma. Efforts should be prioritized to promote patients’ treatment adherence to improve asthma control while attention is needed on rhinitis or obesity

A Novel Two-Stage Integrated Model for Supplier Selection of Green Fresh Product

The selection of fresh product suppliers is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with great significant and application value. This requires trade-offs between multiple criteria to prove its ambiguity and uncertainty. Therefore, a novel two-stage fuzzy integrated MCDM method to select suitable suppliers is employed. In the first stage, two collective relationship matrixes are constructed by quality function development (QFD), and relationships among customer requirements (CRs), company strategies (CSs) as well as selection criteria are considered separately in the two matrixes. Subjective criteria weights are obtained by fuzzy best-worst method (BWM) appropriately. In the second stage, the objective criteria weights are obtained using Shannon’s entropy method, and the fuzzy multi-objective optimization by ratio analysis plus the full multiplicative form (MULTIMOORA) is applied to rank suppliers. Finally, an application case is applied to prove the feasibility of the proposed method. These conclusions can help companies improve their CSs and increase their market competitiveness

Photocatalytic Reaction of Potassium Alkyltrifluoroborates and Sulfur Dioxide with Alkenes

A three-component reaction of potassium alkyltrifluoroborates, the sulfur dioxide surrogate of DABCO·(SO₂)₂, and alkenes under photocatalysis in the presence of visible light is developed. This reaction works efficiently at room temperature with the insertion of sulfur dioxide under mild conditions, affording diverse sulfones in good to excellent yields. The alkyl radical and alkylsulfonyl radical are generated as key intermediates, and a reductive single-electron transfer is involved in the reaction process

Synthesis of Aromatic Sulfonamides through a Copper-Catalyzed Coupling of Aryldiazonium Tetrafluoroborates, DABCO·(SO₂)₂, and <i>N</i>‑Chloroamines

A copper-catalyzed aminosulfonylation of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates, DABCO·(SO₂)₂, and <i>N</i>-chloroamines is described. This coupling reaction provides an efficient and simple approach to a wide range of sulfonamides in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. Mechanistic investigation suggests that a radical process and transition-metal catalysis are merged in this tandem reaction

The characteristic of asthma control among nasal diseases population: Results from a cross-sectional study

<div><p>Asthma affects a large number of patients in China, but comprehensive evaluation of risks associated with poor asthma control in asthmatic patients with nasal diseases was still limited. We conducted this study to provide a comprehensive estimate of asthma control in Chinese asthma patients with combined nasal diseases, to explore the effect of kinds of nasal diseases on the asthma control, and to identify risk factors associated with uncontrolled asthmatic patients with combined nasal diseases. 1756 asthma patients concomitant with nasal diseases aged ≥17 years and representing all regions of mainland China were surveyed. Multivariate logistic regression model with all related demographic characteristics and disease characteristics factors entered was used to identify risk factors associated with uncontrolled asthma. 56.4% of asthmatic patients with combined allergic rhinitis or rhinosinusitis or rhinopolyp remained uncontrolled. Concomitant without allergic rhinitis, younger age, better treatment adherence and higher education level might positively impact asthma control among asthmatic patients with combined nasal diseases. Perennial allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.5, P = 0.021), moderate-severe allergic rhinitis (OR = 2.2, P = 0.001) were all found to significantly increase the risk of uncontrolled asthma among asthma patients with combined allergic rhinitis. The high prevalence of uncontrolled asthma indicates that asthma management among adult Chinese asthmatic patients comorbid with nasal disease is still a challenge. Efforts should be made to raise the awareness of asthma management and to provide sufficient treatment will greatly contribute to improved quality of asthma management. It is possible to minimize the influence of allergic rhinitis on asthma control by improving nasal function, especially for more severe allergic rhinitis and perennial allergic rhinitis.</p></div
