RESUMEN
Objective: The objective is to construct a random forest model for predicting the occurrence of Myofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) and compare its performance with a logistic regression model to demonstrate the superiority of the random forest model. Methods: We retrospectively analyze the clinical data of female patients who underwent pelvic floor screening due to chronic pelvic pain at the Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to December 2023. A total of 543 female patients meeting the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria are randomly selected from this dataset and allocated to the MPPS group. Furthermore, 702 healthy female patients who underwent pelvic floor screening during routine physical examinations within the same timeframe are randomly selected and assigned to the non-MPPS group. Chi-square test and rank-sum test are used to select demographic variables, pelvic floor pressure assessment data variables, and modified Oxford muscle strength grading data for logistic univariate analysis. The selected variables are further subjected to multivariate logistic regression analysis, and a random forest model is also established. The predictive performance of the two models is evaluated by comparing their accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and area under the curve (AUC) area. Results: Based on a dataset of 1245 cases, we implement the random forest algorithm for the first time in the screening of MPPS. In this investigation, the Logistic regression model forecasts the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision of MPPS at 69.96 %, 57.46 %, 79.63 %, and 68.57 % respectively, with an AUC of the ROC curve at 0.755. Conversely, the random forest prediction model exhibits accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision rates of 87.11 %, 90.66 %, 90.91 %, and 83.51 % respectively, with an AUC of the ROC curve at 0.942. The random forest model showcases exceptional predictive performance during the initial screening of MPPS. Conclusion: The random forest model has exhibited exceptional predictive performance in the initial screening evaluation of MPPS disease. The development of this predictive framework holds significant importance in refining the precision of MPPS prediction within clinical environments and elevating treatment outcomes. This research carries profound global implications, given the potentially elevated misdiagnosis rates and delayed diagnosis proportions of MPPS on a worldwide scale, coupled with a potential scarcity of seasoned healthcare providers. Moving forward, continual refinement and validation of the model will be imperative to further augment the precision of MPPS risk assessment, thereby furnishing clinicians with more dependable decision-making support in clinical practice.
RESUMEN
In this study, a Si defect structure was added into the silica network in order to activate the bismuth and silica structure active center. TD-DFT theoretical simulations show that the Bi and Si ODC(I) models can excite the active center of the E-band at 1408â nm. Additionally, the Bi-doped silica fiber (BDSF) with improved fluorescence was fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) combined with the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) technique. Some tests were used to investigate the structural and optical properties of BDSF. The UV-VIS spectral peak of the BDSF preform is 424â cm-1, and the binding energy of XPS is 439.3â eV, indicating the presence of Bi° atom in BDSF. The Raman peak near 811â cm-1 corresponds to the Bi-O bond. The Si POL defect lacks a Bi-O structure, and the reason for the absence of simulated active center from the E-band is explained. A fluorescence spectrometer was used to analyze the emission peak of a BDSF at 1420â nm. The gain of the BDSF based optical amplifier was measured 28.8â dB at 1420â nm and confirmed the effective stimulation of the bismuth active center in the E-band.
RESUMEN
In this study, PbS/Er co-doped fibers (PEDFs) were fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD) combined with modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD). A pumping scheme based on two-photon absorption at 1310â nm of PEDF is proposed for L + band amplification. Through the theoretical analysis, the local environment of Er3+ is changed due to the co-doping of PbS, which improves the two-photon absorption efficiency near 1300â nm. Compared with the 980â nm pump, the PEDFs excited by the 1310â nm pump show better amplification performance in the L + band. And in a bi-directional pumping system, PEDF achieves over 22â dB of gain in the whole L band. In particular, the bandwidth of over 20â dB gain was extended to 1627â nm with a noise figure as low as 4.9â dB. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a high-gain bandwidth of L band amplification has been extended to 1627â nm. The results of unsaturated loss also show that PbS co-doping improves the two-photon absorption efficiency of PEDF to broaden the amplification bandwidth of L + band. These results demonstrate that an effective L + band amplification method is practically provided for future ultra-wideband optical communications.
RESUMEN
A rare case of unicornuate uterus with interstitial ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed using three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVUS). The ultrasound revealed a "lancet-shaped" endometrial corona, a gestational sac near the uterus base extending toward the uterine serosa, and visible interstitial lines. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for a lesion in the right fallopian tube. 3D-TVUS was crucial in precisely locating the gestational sac, aiding in effective treatment. Interstitial ectopic pregnancies risk severe hemorrhaging upon rupture. Rapid, accurate diagnosis is vital for lifesaving treatment and preventing critical complications.

BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are common in young adults, and the link between chronotype profile and TMDs is unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study examined TMD prevalence and chronotype distribution and explored the relationship between chronotype and TMDs in young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 663 students from Sichuan University completed questionnaires. Chronotype profiles were assessed using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, and TMDs were screened using the Fonseca Memory Index. To validate the findings, 68 TMD patients and 136 controls were enrolled. RESULTS: The prevalence of TMDs was 69.7%, with significant differences among chronotype profiles. The intermediate profile was the most common chronotype. Eveningness profile was associated with higher TMDs prevalence and severity. Muscle pain and side movement difficulty scores were higher in eveningness and intermediate profiles. Female gender (OR 2.345; 95% CI 1.668-3.297) was a TMD risk factor, while morningness profile (OR 0.537; 95% CI 0.297-0.970) was protective. Validation with TMD patients and controls supported these findings, showing higher eveningness profile prevalence in the TMD groups. CONCLUSIONS: TMDs have a high prevalence in college students, chronotype profiles shown to be associated with TMDs. Morningness is the protection factor in TMDs and PT, eveningness is a risk factor for IT.
