Block-based compressive imaging with a swin transformer.

Block-based compressive imaging (BCI) is based on the compressive sensing principle, which uses a spatial light modulator and a low-resolution detector to perform parallel high-speed sampling, followed by super-resolution algorithm to reconstruct target image. When compared with traditional compressive imaging, BCI reduces the computational effort but introduces block artifacts. This paper proposes a data-driven deep neural network based on the swin transformer called SwinBCI, which introduces the local attention and shifted window mechanisms to improve the target image reconstruction quality.

Impact of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on postoperative pain in patients undergoing perianal surgery: a randomized trial.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on postoperative pain in patients following perianal surgery.

Methods: 96 patients were randomly assigned to either the taVNS group or the sham stimulation group. Patients received stimulation once 30 min before the operation and once more 24 h after the operation, with each session lasting 30 min.

Intravenous lidocaine decreased the incidence of SRAEs for ERCP procedures in elderly frailty patients, a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: Elderly frailty patients are at particular risk of sedation-related adverse events (SRAEs) during sedation. This study aimed to assess whether intravenous lidocaine could reduce the incidence of SRAEs in elderly frailty patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Methods: A total of 210 elderly frailty patients scheduled for ERCP were randomly divided into two groups: lidocaine and control.

Clinical Application of Bilateral Nasopharyngeal Airway in Painless Colonoscopy for Obese Patients.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using bilateral nasopharyngeal airways (NPA) during colonoscopic polypectomy performed under sedation anesthesia in obese patients.

Methods: Ninety obese patients undergoing colonoscopic polypectomy under elective sedation anesthesia at Shanghai Shuguang Hospital were randomly allocated to two groups. Patients in group B had a nasopharyngeal airway inserted bilaterally after induction of anesthesia, whereas patients in group U had a nasopharyngeal airway inserted in only one nostril.

Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating the Impact of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy on Patients Undergoing Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Rectal Cancer Surgery, with a Post-Extubation Atelectasis as a Complication.

Background: Utilizing high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy may prevent the collapse of alveoli and improve overall alveolar ventilation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of HFNC on postoperative atelectasis in individuals undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery.

Methods: Patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer were randomly assigned to the control or HFNC groups.

Antinociceptive effects of dehydrocorydaline in mouse models of inflammatory pain involve the opioid receptor and inflammatory cytokines.

Dehydrocorydaline (DHC) is an alkaloidal component isolated from Rhizoma corydalis. Previous studies have shown that DHC has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects and that it can protect the cardiovascular system. However, there are few studies of the antinociceptive effects of DHC in vivo.
