Weakly-Supervised Action Localization by Hierarchically-structured Latent Attention Modeling
Weakly-supervised action localization aims to recognize and localize action
instancese in untrimmed videos with only video-level labels. Most existing
models rely on multiple instance learning(MIL), where the predictions of
unlabeled instances are supervised by classifying labeled bags. The MIL-based
methods are relatively well studied with cogent performance achieved on
classification but not on localization. Generally, they locate temporal regions
by the video-level classification but overlook the temporal variations of
feature semantics. To address this problem, we propose a novel attention-based
hierarchically-structured latent model to learn the temporal variations of
feature semantics. Specifically, our model entails two components, the first is
an unsupervised change-points detection module that detects change-points by
learning the latent representations of video features in a temporal hierarchy
based on their rates of change, and the second is an attention-based
classification model that selects the change-points of the foreground as the
boundaries. To evaluate the effectiveness of our model, we conduct extensive
experiments on two benchmark datasets, THUMOS-14 and ActivityNet-v1.3. The
experiments show that our method outperforms current state-of-the-art methods,
and even achieves comparable performance with fully-supervised methods.Comment: Accepted to ICCV 2023. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Fetal Isolated Anomalous Origin of Right Pulmonary Artery from Aorta
Abstract
The anomalous origin of a branch pulmonary artery from the aorta (AOPA) is characterized by the anomalous origin of one of the branch pulmonary arteries (PA) from the ascending aorta and a normal origin of the other PA from main PA. AOPA is an extremely rare cardiac malformation. Few studies have reported fetal anomalous origin of PA from aorta with other malformation. We report a case of isolated distal anomalous origin of the right PA from the aorta that was diagnosed by fetal echocardiography at 25 weeks' of gestation. Tracing the course of PA branches is important to make diagnosis

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of small cell carcinoma in urinary bladder: a case report and review of literature
Abstract Background Small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (SCCB) is a relatively rare malignant bladder tumor, and few reports have investigated the microvasculature of SCCB imaged using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Case presentation A 63-year-old female was admitted to our hospital after experiencing painless gross hematuria for one week. The gray-scale ultrasound (US) demonstrated a 4.8 × 3.4 × 3.6-cm3 hypoechoic mass in the apex of the urinary bladder with a wide base and an irregular surface; the mass did not move with changes in body position. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) showed rich blood flow in the mass. CEUS with low mechanical index (MI) of 0.06 confirmed a highly enhanced 5.0 × 3.3 × 3.8 cm3 mass within the bladder at the apex wall. The time-intensity curves (TICs) showed a wash-in time of 10 s, a time to peak (TTP) of 33 s, a signal intensity (SI) of 62.7% and a wash-out time > 60 s. Finally, the transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) was performed, and the pathological examination proved the diagnosis of SCCB. Conclusion CEUS can provide valuable information related to the rich microvasculature of SCCB, which may be helpful in its diagnosis
The role of robotic surgery in neurological cases: A systematic review on brain and spine applications
The application of robotic surgery technologies in neurological surgeries resulted in some advantages compared to traditional surgeries, including higher accuracy and dexterity enhancement. Its success in various surgical fields, especially in urology, cardiology, and gynecology surgeries was reported in previous studies, and similar advantages in neurological surgeries are expected. Surgeries in the central nervous system with the pathology of millimeters through small working channels around vital tissue need especially high precision. Applying robotic surgery is therefore an interesting dilemma for these situations. This article reviews various studies published on the application of brain and spine robotic surgery and discusses the current application of robotic technology in neurological cases
Synthesis of Azole-Enriched Cyclic Peptides by A Clean Solid-Phase-Based Cyclization-Cleavage Strategy
Naturally occurring azole-enriched
cyclic peptides have broad biological
and pharmacological activities. Previous synthetic efforts have mainly
concentrated on the preparation of individual target molecules in
solution phase. A solid-phase-based cyclitive cleavage strategy was
deployed here for efficient library synthesis of azole cyclopeptide
derivatives, which is part of our continuous efforts for the characterization
of potent modulators of multidrug resistance efflux proteins. Procedures
were optimized to afford the azole cyclopeptides at high yield and
purity, eliminating the need for any chromatographic purification
steps. This development is ideal for high throughput library synthesis
and screening and will facilitate the ultimate discovery of novel
azole cyclopeptides with potent biological activities
Cholate-Based Synthesis of Size-Tunable Cage Compounds
We describe cholate-based cage amphiphiles
with a unique architecture
that combines elements of structural rigidity and flexibility. The
cage compounds are built by extending and bridging three polar chains
underneath the concave steroid rings of cholate and capping with another
rigid, symmetrically trifunctionalized cyanuric acid moiety. The connecting
chains are varied to include, for instance, oligo(ethylene glycol)
or chains containing 1,2,3-triazole units to present flexibility in
the chemical and structural space and potentially deliver functional
molecules for molecular recognition applications
