Deep adversarial metric learning for cross-modal retrieval

Cross-modal retrieval has become a highlighted research topic, to provide flexible retrieval experience across multimedia data such as image, video, text and audio. The core of existing cross-modal retrieval approaches is to narrow down the gap between different modalities either by finding a maximally correlated embedding space. Recently, researchers leverage Deep Neural Network (DNN) to learn nonlinear transformations for each modality to obtain transformed features in a common subspace where cross-modal matching can be performed. However, the statistical characteristics of the original features for each modality are not explicitly preserved in the learned subspace. Inspired by recent advances in adversarial learning, we propose a novel Deep Adversarial Metric Learning approach, termed DAML for cross-modal retrieval. DAML nonlinearly maps labeled data pairs of different modalities into a shared latent feature subspace, under which the intra-class variation is minimized and the inter-class variation is maximized, and the difference of each data pair captured from two modalities of the same class is minimized, respectively. In addition to maximizing the correlations between modalities, we add an additional regularization by introducing adversarial learning. In particular, we introduce a modality classifier to predict the modality of a transformed feature, which ensures that the transformed features are also statistically indistinguishable. Experiments on three popular multimodal datasets show that DAML achieves superior performance compared to several state of the art cross-modal retrieval methods.
Psychological adjustment and sleep quality in a randomized trial of the effects of a Tibetan yoga intervention in patients with lymphoma.

BACKGROUND
Research suggests that stress-reduction programs tailored to the cancer setting help patients cope with the effects of treatment and improve their quality of life. Yoga, an ancient Eastern science, incorporates stress-reduction techniques that include regulated breathing, visual imagery, and meditation as well as various postures. The authors examined the effects of the Tibetan yoga (TY) practices of Tsa lung and Trul khor, which incorporate controlled breathing and visualization, mindfulness techniques, and low-impact postures in patients with lymphoma.


METHODS
Thirty-nine patients with lymphoma who were undergoing treatment or who had concluded treatment within the past 12 months were assigned to a TY group or to a wait-list control group. Patients in the TY group participated in 7 weekly yoga sessions, and patients in the wait-list control group were free to participate in the TY program after the 3-month follow-up assessment.


RESULTS
Eighty nine percent of TY participants completed at least 2-3 three yoga sessions, and 58% completed at least 5 sessions. Patients in the TY group reported significantly lower sleep disturbance scores during follow-up compared with patients in the wait-list control group (5.8 vs. 8.1; P < 0.004). This included better subjective sleep quality (P < 0.02), faster sleep latency (P < 0.01), longer sleep duration (P < 0.03), and less use of sleep medications (P < 0.02). There were no significant differences between groups in terms of intrusion or avoidance, state anxiety, depression, or fatigue.


CONCLUSIONS
The participation rates suggested that a TY program is feasible for patients with cancer and that such a program significantly improves sleep-related outcomes. However, there were no significant differences between groups for the other outcomes.
Towards natural language question generation for the validation of ontologies and mappings

BACKGROUND
The increasing number of open-access ontologies and their key role in several applications such as decision-support systems highlight the importance of their validation. Human expertise is crucial for the validation of ontologies from a domain point-of-view. However, the growing number of ontologies and their fast evolution over time make manual validation challenging.


METHODS
We propose a novel semi-automatic approach based on the generation of natural language (NL) questions to support the validation of ontologies and their evolution. The proposed approach includes the automatic generation, factorization and ordering of NL questions from medical ontologies. The final validation and correction is performed by submitting these questions to domain experts and automatically analyzing their feedback. We also propose a second approach for the validation of mappings impacted by ontology changes. The method exploits the context of the changes to propose correction alternatives presented as Multiple Choice Questions.


RESULTS
This research provides a question optimization strategy to maximize the validation of ontology entities with a reduced number of questions. We evaluate our approach for the validation of three medical ontologies. We also evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of our mappings validation approach in the context of ontology evolution. These experiments are performed with different versions of SNOMED-CT and ICD9.


CONCLUSIONS
The obtained experimental results suggest the feasibility and adequacy of our approach to support the validation of interconnected and evolving ontologies. Results also suggest that taking into account RDFS and OWL entailment helps reducing the number of questions and validation time. The application of our approach to validate mapping evolution also shows the difficulty of adapting mapping evolution over time and highlights the importance of semi-automatic validation.
Inguinal nodal region radiotherapy for vulvar cancer: are we missing the target again?

The GROINSS-V II trial, in which NRG is also participating, is an ongoing observational study. As part of definitive therapy, patients with vulvar cancer undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) followed by observation if SLNB is negative or radiotherapy if SLNB is positive. Chemotherapy is at the discretion of the treating institution. Radiation is to be delivered to the bilateral inguinal nodes and the lower half of the external iliac nodes (though can be delivered only ipsilaterally at the discretion of the treating physician if the primary is well lateralized and there is no sign of a sentinel node on the contralateral side). The interim analysis of the ongoing GROINSS-V II trial showed a recurrence in 12.2% (10/82) of patients treated with radiation in the setting of positive sentinel lymph node biopsy [1]. On subset analysis the risk of nodal recurrence was 2.2% for micrometastases (≤2 mm) and 20% for macrometastases. Based on these early results, the study was modified to allow RT only for micrometastases and patients withmacrometastases now go on to receive completion inguinal dissection followed by possible adjuvant RT. When compared to single institution retrospective data for prophylactic groin RT [2,3], this failure rate appears to be on the higher side and raises the question of whether the outcomes seen in GROINSSV II speak more to the biology of disease in this group of patients or to a geographical miss with radiotherapy. When considering this, we were compelled to examine the radiation technique in this trial protocol as compared to historical techniques and current recommendations. In an early attempt to investigate the role of radiation therapy in the setting of vulvar cancer as a potentialmethod to decrease themorbidity associated with inguinal lymph node dissection, GOG 88 randomized patients with stage IB-III, cN0, vulvar cancer status post radical vulvectomy to either bilateral inguinal radiation or bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection followed by radiation to the pelvic and inguinal nodal regions if the dissection was positive [4]. This trial showed a greater number of inguinal recurrences in the radiation arm, however the radiation technique was poor and delivered an inadequate dose to the region at risk. In GOG 88 radiation was delivered without a CT scan for planning. This resulted in twodisadvantages. First, the risk of lymphnode involvement was not assessed and thus patients may indeed have had macroscopic disease for which 50 Gy is not sufficient. Second, the precise
Epidemiology of acute kidney injury in Hungarian intensive care units: a multicenter, prospective, observational study

BACKGROUND
Despite the substantial progress in the quality of critical care, the incidence and mortality of acute kidney injury (AKI) continues to rise during hospital admissions. We conducted a national, multicenter, prospective, epidemiological survey to evaluate the importance of AKI in intensive care units (ICUs) in Hungary. The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence of AKI in ICU patients; to characterize the differences in aetiology, illness severity and clinical practice; and to determine the influencing factors of the development of AKI and the patients' outcomes.


METHODS
We analysed the demographic, morbidity, treatment modality and outcome data of patients (n = 459) admitted to ICUs between October 1st, 2009 and November 30th, 2009 using a prospectively filled in electronic survey form in 7 representative ICUs.


RESULTS
The major reason for ICU admission was surgical in 64.3% of patients and medical in the remaining 35.7%. One-hundred-twelve patients (24.4%) had AKI. By AKIN criteria 11.5% had Stage 1, 5.4% had Stage 2 and 7.4% had Stage 3. In 44.0% of patients, AKI was associated with septic shock. Vasopressor treatment, SAPS II score, serum creatinine on ICU admission and sepsis were the independent risk factors for development of any stage of AKI. Among the Stage 3 patients (34) 50% received renal replacement therapy. The overall utilization of intermittent renal replacement therapy was high (64.8%). The overall in-hospital mortality rate of AKI was 49% (55/112). The ICU mortality rate was 39.3% (44/112). The independent risk factors for ICU mortality were age, mechanical ventilation, SOFA score and AKI Stage 3.


CONCLUSIONS
For the first time we have established the incidence of AKI using the AKIN criteria in Hungarian ICUs. Results of the present study confirm that AKI has a high incidence and is associated with high ICU and in-hospital mortality.
Logical Structure Recovery in Scholarly Articles with Rich Document Features

Scholarly digital libraries increasingly provide analytics to information within documents themselves. This includes information about the logical document structure of use to downstream components, such as search, navigation, and summarization. In this paper, the authors describe SectLabel, a module that further develops existing software to detect the logical structure of a document from existing PDF files, using the formalism of conditional random fields. While previous work has assumed access only to the raw text representation of the document, a key aspect of this work is to integrate the use of a richer representation of the document that includes features from optical character recognition (OCR), such as font size and text position. Experiments reveal that using such rich features improves logical structure detection by a significant 9 F1 points, over a suitable baseline, motivating the use of richer document representations in other digital library applications.

Patch: platelet transfusion in cerebral haemorrhage: study protocol for a multicentre, randomised, controlled trial

BACKGROUND
Patients suffering from intracerebral haemorrhage have a poor prognosis, especially if they are using antiplatelet therapy. Currently, no effective acute treatment option for intracerebral haemorrhage exists. Limiting the early growth of intracerebral haemorrhage volume which continues the first hours after admission seems a promising strategy. Because intracerebral haemorrhage patients who are on antiplatelet therapy have been shown to be particularly at risk of early haematoma growth, platelet transfusion may have a beneficial effect.


METHODS/DESIGN
The primary objective is to investigate whether platelet transfusion improves outcome in intracerebral haemorrhage patients who are on antiplatelet treatment. The PATCH study is a prospective, randomised, multi-centre study with open treatment and blind endpoint evaluation. Patients will be randomised to receive platelet transfusion within six hours or standard care. The primary endpoint is functional health after three months. The main secondary endpoints are safety of platelet transfusion and the occurrence of haematoma growth. To detect an absolute poor outcome reduction of 20%, a total of 190 patients will be included.


DISCUSSION
To our knowledge this is the first randomised controlled trial of platelet transfusion for an acute haemorrhagic disease.
VeriTrust: Verification for Hardware Trust

Hardware Trojans (HTs) implemented by adversaries serve as backdoors to subvert or augment the normal operation of infected devices, which may lead to functionality changes, sensitive information leakages, or Denial of Service attacks. To tackle such threats, this paper proposes a novel verification technique for hardware trust, namely VeriTrust, which facilitates to detect HTs inserted at design stage. Based on the observation that HTs are usually activated by dedicated trigger inputs that are not sensitized with verification test cases, VeriTrust automatically identifies such potential HT trigger inputs by examining verification corners. The key difference between VeriTrust and existing HT detection techniques is that VeriTrust is insensitive to the implementation style of HTs. Experimental results show that VeriTrust is able to detect all HTs evaluated in this paper (constructed based on various HT design methodologies shown in the literature) at the cost of moderate extra verification time, which is not possible with existing solutions.
The young and the restless: Examining the relationships between age, emerging adulthood variables, and the Dark Triad

a r t i c l e i n f o The Dark Triad is a set of correlated personality variables (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) that are related to myriad behaviors. Myriad studies have been conducted to test the relations between the Dark Triad and other personality variables (e.g., the Big 5); however, the developmental correlates have been understudied. In the current study, we examined how markers of emerging adulthood and age predict the Dark Triad traits using a cross-sectional design. Participants (N = 442) of varying ages (M age = 32.99, range = 18–74) completed Dark Triad measures and a validated questionnaire used to assess the degree to which participants believe they have successfully navigated through various facets of emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood facets (e.g., negativity, other-focused, and feeling in-between) correlated with several Dark Triad traits. Additionally, several emerging adulthood facets mediated the relation between age and the Dark Triad traits; i.e., older participants were lower on the Dark Triad traits because of the successful transition through emerging adulthood. Results are discussed in terms of the Theory of Emerging Adulthood (Arnett, 2000).

Clinical efficacy of antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis.

OBJECTIVES
The aim of the present study was to review the pertinent literature with reference to the clinical efficacy of antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis.


METHODS
To address the focused question 'Are locally and systemically delivered antibiotics useful in the treatment of peri-implantitis?' PubMed/Medline and Google-scholar databases were explored from 1992 until February 2013 using a combination of the following keywords: 'antibiotic,' 'dental implant,' 'inflammation,', 'peri-implantitis' and 'treatment'. Letters to the editor, case-reports and unpublished data were excluded.


RESULTS
Ten studies were included. In six studies, peri-implantitis was treated using a non-surgical approach (scaling and root planing), whereas in four studies, a surgical approach was adopted for treating peri-implantitis. In three studies systemic antibiotics were administered and in six studies locally delivered antibiotics were used for treatment. One study used the oral route for antibiotic delivery. In three studies, minocycline hydrochloride was locally delivered as an adjunctive therapy to non-surgical mechanical debridement of infected sites. Nine studies reported that traditional peri-implantitis treatment with adjunct antibiotic therapy reduces gingival bleeding, suppuration and peri-implant pocket depth. In one study, despite surgical debridement of infected sites and systemic antibiotic cover, nearly 40% of the implants failed to regain stability. There was no placebo or control group in eight out of the nine studies included.


CONCLUSION
The significance of adjunctive antibiotic therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis remains debatable.
Energy efficient synchronization techniques for embedded architectures

We evaluate the energy-efficiency and performance of a number of synchronization mechanisms adapted for embedded devices. We focus on simple hardware accelerators for common software synchronization patterns. We compare the energy efficiency of a range of shared memory benchmarks using both spin-locks and a simple hardware transactional memory. In most cases, transactional memory provides both significantly reduced energy consumption and increased throughput. We also consider applications that employ concurrency patterns based on semaphores, such as pipelines and barriers. We propose and evaluate a novel energy-efficient hardware semaphore construction in which cores spin on local scratchpad memory, reducing the load on the shared bus.

Immunohistochemical localization of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor in normal skin and skin cancers

Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor is a 22-kDa glycoprotein that was originally identified as a secreted product of cultured human macrophages. Although the growth factor mRNA has been identified in various cells and tissues, the tissue distribution of the protein itself has rarely been demonstrated. In this study, the EGF-like growth factor was detected immunohistochemically in a variety of human skin samples by indirect immunofluorescence using a polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against residues 26–41 of mature heparin-binding EGF. The keratinocytes of a variety of epithelium-derived structures demonstrated reproducible, specific staining for the EGF. In normal tissues, this staining was prominent in the basal cells of the epidermis and in the epithelial cells lining epidermal appendages such as hair follicles, sebaceous sweat glands and eccrine sweat glands. In addition, specific staining was detected in skin cancers derived from the basal epithelial cell layer, including basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, with no staining detected in melanoma specimens. Immunoreactive heparin-binding EGF was characteristically associated with the surface of cells. With minor exceptions, the immunoreactive sites are identical to the known EGF receptor distribution in the skin, and suggest that keratinocyte-derived heparin-binding EGF may act in concert with other EGF family members in processes such as skin morphogenesis and wound repair, as well as in the development of skin cancers
Impact of gender on in-hospital mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: an evaluation of the TAMIS-II data.

OBJECT
It is a matter of concern that women have higher in-hospital mortality rates than men with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), however, it is not yet clear whether significant gender differences exist. We studied the influence of gender on the characteristics and in-hospital mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).


METHODS
We used data from 15 acute care hospitals included in the sample from the Tokai Acute Myocardial Infarction Study II (TAMIS-II), a prospective study of all patients admitted to these hospitals from 2001 to 2003 with a diagnosis of AMI. We abstracted the baseline and procedural characteristics from detailed chart reviews which included not only physician notes but also nursing notes, and a questionnaire which included baseline characteristics, procedural course and in-hospital mortality. Multivariate analysis was performed, controlling for age and other variables which were found to be significantly different between men and women by chi-square test or unpaired t test.


PATIENTS
A total of 566 women and 2,048 men were included in the present study.


RESULTS
There were gender differences in age, comorbid conditions, smoking status, body mass index, activities of daily livings, heart failure on presentation, duration of stay, angiographic data, transfer to ICU/CCU, and thrombolytic drugs. In univariate analysis, women had a higher in-hospital mortality rate than did men; however, this gender difference disappeared after adjustment for age and other variables.


CONCLUSION
Our study demonstrated that women with AMI who undergo PCI do not have a higher in-hospital mortality rate than men.
