Global Convolutional Neural Processes [article]

Xuesong Wang, Lina Yao, Xianzhi Wang, Hye-young Paik, Sen Wang
2021 arXiv   pre-print
The ability to deal with uncertainty in machine learning models has become equally, if not more, crucial to their predictive ability itself. For instance, during the pandemic, governmental policies and personal decisions are constantly made around uncertainties. Targeting this, Neural Process Families (NPFs) have recently shone a light on prediction with uncertainties by bridging Gaussian processes and neural networks. Latent neural process, a member of NPF, is believed to be capable of

Nonetheless, some critical questions remain unresolved, such as a formal definition of global uncertainties, the causality behind global uncertainties, and the manipulation of global uncertainties for generative models. Regarding this, we build a member GloBal Convolutional Neural Process(GBCoNP) that achieves the SOTA log-likelihood in latent NPFs. It designs a global uncertainty representation p(z), which is an aggregation on a discretized input space. The causal effect between the degree of global uncertainty and the intra-task diversity is discussed. The learnt prior is analyzed on a variety of scenarios, including 1D, 2D, and a newly proposed spatial-temporal COVID dataset. Our manipulation of the global uncertainty not only achieves generating the desired samples to tackle few-shot learning, but also enables the probability evaluation on the functional priors.

2011 Oncology Letters  
The diagnosis of synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) remains a formidable challenge. The aim of the present study was to identify useful clues for the clinical diagnosis of SMPLC, in particular for the early stages. The medical records of 10 patients diagnosed with SMPLC with different histological types were analyzed retrospectively. Chest computed tomography (CT) findings showed two pulmonary lesions in all patients. The two lesions displayed malignant characteristics of primary

The levels of a number of tumor markers, including carcinoembryonic antigen, neuron-specific enolase, cytokeratin fragment 21-1, squamous cell carcinoma and CA125 increased in 2 patients. Auxiliary examinations of other physical sites in these patients did not show signs of neoplasm metastasis. Two tumors were separately staged and appropriate treatment was carried out based on the revised stage, which provided more benefits for SMPLC patients. The diagnosis of SMPLC might be delayed or mistaken owing to its similarity to neoplasm metastasis. A high index of awareness is required for the early diagnosis of this disease. The malignant characteristics of primary lung cancer in various lesions may be valuable clues for the diagnosis of SMPLC. Alterations in the levels of tumor markers may be a poor diagnostic tool for the detection of SMPLC. Separate biopsies for different pulmonary masses should be performed for clinical staging as soon as possible and reasonable treatment based on the stage should also be selected.

Intraoperative cardiac arrest

Fei Han, Yufeng Wang, Yue Wang, Jiaxu Dong, Chaoran Nie, Meng Chen, Lina Hou
2017 Medicine  
Intraoperative cardiac arrest (IOCA) is a lethal complication of noncardiac surgery. According to several reports, immediate survival after IOCA is approximately 50%. In this study, a retrospective case analysis was performed to determine the incidence of IOCA, the potential causes of cardiac arrest, and the risk factors of no resuscitation in patients undergoing tumorous surgery. The medical records of surgery patients who experienced cardiac arrest during the intraoperative period between

Fifteen patients with IOCA among 142,853 patients undergoing tumorous surgery were reviewed during the study period. Immediate survival after IOCA was 60%. Hospital survival was 46.7%. The incidence of IOCA decreased during 2010 to 2014 when compared with the rate during 2005 to 2009 (P < .05). The risk factors affecting the success of resuscitation after IOCA included American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA PS) classification ≥ III (P < .05) and preoperative tachycardia (heart rate ≥100/min, P < .05). The methods of anesthesia had no effects on the results of resuscitation. The incidence of IOCA in patients undergoing tumorous surgery was 1.05 per 10,000 anesthesia. The overall mortality of IOCA was 0.56/10,000. The frequency of IOCA decreased within 10 years. There was no cardiac arrest primarily attributable to anesthesia over this study period. The risk factors leading to unsuccessful resuscitation after IOCA were ASA PS classification ≥ III and preoperative tachycardia. Abbreviations: ASA PS = American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status, CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ECG = electrocardiogram, HR = heart rate, IOCA = intraoperative cardiac arrest, MAP = mean arterial pressure.

NP-PROV: Neural Processes with Position-Relevant-Only Variances [article]

Xuesong Wang, Lina Yao, Xianzhi Wang, Feiping Nie
2020 arXiv   pre-print
Neural Processes (NPs) families encode distributions over functions to a latent representation, given context data, and decode posterior mean and variance at unknown locations. Since mean and variance are derived from the same latent space, they may fail on out-of-domain tasks where fluctuations in function values amplify the model uncertainty. We present a new member named Neural Processes with Position-Relevant-Only Variances (NP-PROV). NP-PROV hypothesizes that a target point close to a
more » ... xt point has small uncertainty, regardless of the function value at that position. The resulting approach derives mean and variance from a function-value-related space and a position-related-only latent space separately. Our evaluation on synthetic and real-world datasets reveals that NP-PROV can achieve state-of-the-art likelihood while retaining a bounded variance when drifts exist in the function value.

Prevalence of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (HR-HPV) Genotypes and Multiple Infections in Cervical Abnormalities from Northern Xinjiang, China

2016 PLoS ONE  
Multiple human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes often coexist within the cervical epithelia and are frequently detected together in various grades of the cervical neoplasia. To date, only a few reports exist on multiple HPV infections of HPV in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR). In the present study, we investigated the prevalence of High-Risk HPV (HR-HPV) genotypes and multiple infections. Cervical cytology samples were collected from 428 women who presented cervical abnormalities.

Of them, 166 samples were positive for HPV according to PCR results using the consensus primers. These samples contained cervical abnormalities enriched with inflammation (n = 107), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I (n = 19), CINII-III (n = 9) and cervical cancer (n = 31). Of the 166 HPV positive samples as determined by PCR analysis, 151 were further typed by PCR-SBT using 19 pairs of genotypespecific primers. Using this method, 17 different HR-HPV genotypes were identified. The most frequently observed HPV genotypes were HPV16 (44.0%, 73/166), 53 (28.9%, 48/ 166), 52 (25.3%, 42/166), 58 (22.3%, 37/166) and 35 (17.5%, 29/166). The proportions of single and multiple infections in the HPV-positive specimens were 34.9% and 65.1%, respectively. Multiple HPV types were most prevalent in the inflammatory state (63.0%), followed by cervical cancer (24.1%), CINI (11.1%), and CINII-III (1.9%). The results of our data analyses suggested that i) multiple HPV infection is not necessarily correlated with the severity of cervical abnormalities; and ii) among the multiple HPV infections, double infections combined with HPV16 is the most common. In addition, L1 full-length sequences of the top five high-risk HPV genotypes were amplified and sequenced. According to the L1 sequence of the epidemic genotypes that were amplified, we found that these genotypes PLOS ONE |
