Experiments showed that the proposed M-U-net based algorithm achieved 88.60% and 87.93% Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) on the verification dataset and testing dataset, which performed better than any single U-net. Compared with other existing algorithms, our algorithm reached the state of the art level. The feature fusion of three single U-nets could effectively complement the segmentation results.

To determine long-term seizure outcome, use of antiseizure medication (ASM) and seizure recurrence risk after its withdrawal in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) due to neuronal surface and GAD antibodies. In patients from a specialized AE outpatient clinic, we assessed seizure manifestation, ASM and immunotherapy at onset of AE as well as seizure occurrence, development of autoimmune-associated epilepsy (AAE) and use of ASM in the long-term. Data were collected from patients via telephone interviews and medical records. Out of 94 AE patients, 75 were analyzed; 47 patients had NMDAR, 17 LGI1, 7 GAD, 3 CASPR2 and 1 mGluR5 antibodies. Fifty-three of the 75 patients (71 %) experienced seizures, all of which for the first time occurred at AE onset. After a median follow-up of 6 years (range, 1-15), 47 of the 53 AE patients had 1-year terminal seizure remission, median duration of terminal seizure freedom was 5 years. Rate of 1-year terminal seizure remission was significantly higher in patients with neuronal surface antibodies (NMDAR 97 %, LGI1 93 %, CASPR2 100 %) compared to patients with GAD antibodies (20 %, p < 0.001). In seizure-free patients, ASM was withdrawn after 13 months (median) without any relapse seizures. Seizures are common in most forms of AE manifesting at disease onset in all cases. However, the development of AAE is rare and typically occurs in patients with GAD antibodies. Thus, in most AE cases with neuronal surface antibodies, ASM can be withdrawn after the acute phase of AE with low risk of seizure relapse.

Burial flux history and potential provenance, the relationships among trace elements, and biogenic compositions were analyzed for determining the trend and extent of trace element accumulation and identifying corresponding anthropogenic effects. Additionally, the effects of anthropogenic activities on Daya Bay were reconstructed, and a baseline/background estimation was provided for Daya Bay. The burial fluxes of V, Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pb, Hg, Zn, Mo, Ag, As, Se, and Tl increased from 1960 to 2010, especially after the late 1980s. Our results are useful for understanding pollution and land-sea interactions along the coasts of the South China Sea, especially in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.The aim of this research is to explore the association between financial development, research and development (R&D) expenditures, globalization, institutional quality, and energy consumption in India by using the quarterly data of 1995-2018. Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (QARDL) approach is employed to examine the relationship. An application of the QARDL approach suggests that the R&D, financial development, globalization, and institutional quality significantly influence energy utilization in India. R&D and institutional quality have a negative effect on energy utilization which shows that due to the increase in the qu
