Impact of the stress hyperglycemia ratio on short-term outcomes in critically ill patients with chronic kidney disease: A comparative analysis of diabetic and non-diabetic populations
Background Stress-induced hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients and may worsen outcomes, especially in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The stress hyperglycemi...
An adaptive slicing algorithm based on model contour information
The original slicing algorithm needs to traverse all triangular facets when performing triangular facet screening, and the calculation amount is large. When performing model feature recognition, the f...
MaxGRNet: A multi-axis vision transformer with improved generalization for eye disease classification using explainable AI with insertion-deletion operations on fundus images
Eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, and cataracts, represent a major global health concern and can lead to severe visual impairment or blindness if not identified in a timely...
Resilient distributed model predictive control for cooperative microgrids under communication loss with demand response integration
This paper introduces a resilient distributed model predictive control (RDMPC) framework for coordinating energy management across networked microgrids with demand response integration. The coordinati...
Prevalence and social determinants of breastfeeding practices in urban slums and urban non-slum areas in India: A comparative analysis
Understanding how the prevalence and determinants of breastfeeding practices differ between urban slum areas, where living conditions are stringent, and urban non-slum areas, which have relatively mor...
