CLOCCs is present in a variety of disorders, such as cerebral infarction, bleeding, multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, glioblastoma, lymphoma, metabolic diseases, and infections. Since 2020, World Health Organization (W.H.O) defined Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, as a pandemic. Numerous CLOCCs cases have been reported in adults in particular in Japan, in China, and recently in children in Turkey associated with SARS-CoV-2. We report the first case of CLOCCs diagnosed in West Africa (Côte d’Ivoire) in an adult associated with SARS-CoV-2. Case Report: A 60 year-old-woman with a medical history of high blood pressure and diabetes, presented to the emergency department with confusion without fever. Neurological examination was normal apart from temporospatial disorientation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed abnormal signals in the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC). Forty-eight hours (48 h) after admission, the patient experienced a fever (temperature: 385˚C), several episodes of hypoglycemia (capillary blood glycemia levels below 0.5 g/l) and a dry cough. Lung CT imaging showed typical features with ground-glass opacities. Oropharyngeal swab was positive for SARS-CoV-2 on reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay. The clinical course was favorable. One month after disease onset, a follow-up Brain MRI showed considerable regression of SCC abnormal signal. The multiple episodes of hypoglycemia and SARS-COV 2 infection were incriminated as the causal factors. Conclusion: The improvement of the technical platform in our context of work gives us the possibility to identify the etiological factors of this rare clinico-radiological entity.展开更多

文摘Sentiment analysis(SA)of the Arabic language becomes important despite scarce annotated corpora and confined sources.Arabic affect Analysis has become an active research zone nowadays.But still,the Arabic language lags behind adequate language sources for enabling the SA tasks.Thus,Arabic still faces challenges in natural language processing(NLP)tasks because of its structure complexities,history,and distinct cultures.It has gained lesser effort than the other languages.This paper developed a Multi-versus Optimization with Deep Reinforcement Learning Enabled Affect Analysis(MVODRL-AA)on Arabic Corpus.The presented MVODRL-AAmodelmajorly concentrates on identifying and classifying effects or emotions that occurred in the Arabic corpus.Firstly,the MVODRL-AA model follows data pre-processing and word embedding.Next,an n-gram model is utilized to generate word embeddings.A deep Q-learning network(DQLN)model is then exploited to identify and classify the effect on the Arabic corpus.At last,the MVO algorithm is used as a hyperparameter tuning approach to adjust the hyperparameters related to the DQLN model,showing the novelty of the work.A series of simulations were carried out to exhibit the promising performance of the MVODRL-AA model.The simulation outcomes illustrate the betterment of the MVODRL-AA method over the other approaches with an accuracy of 99.27%.

文摘The term‘corpus’refers to a huge volume of structured datasets containing machine-readable texts.Such texts are generated in a natural communicative setting.The explosion of social media permitted individuals to spread data with minimal examination and filters freely.Due to this,the old problem of fake news has resurfaced.It has become an important concern due to its negative impact on the community.To manage the spread of fake news,automatic recognition approaches have been investigated earlier using Artificial Intelligence(AI)and Machine Learning(ML)techniques.To perform the medicinal text classification tasks,the ML approaches were applied,and they performed quite effectively.Still,a huge effort is required from the human side to generate the labelled training data.The recent progress of the Deep Learning(DL)methods seems to be a promising solution to tackle difficult types of Natural Language Processing(NLP)tasks,especially fake news detection.To unlock social media data,an automatic text classifier is highly helpful in the domain of NLP.The current research article focuses on the design of the Optimal Quad ChannelHybrid Long Short-Term Memory-based Fake News Classification(QCLSTM-FNC)approach.The presented QCLSTM-FNC approach aims to identify and differentiate fake news from actual news.To attain this,the proposed QCLSTM-FNC approach follows two methods such as the pre-processing data method and the Glovebased word embedding process.Besides,the QCLSTM model is utilized for classification.To boost the classification results of the QCLSTM model,a Quasi-Oppositional Sandpiper Optimization(QOSPO)algorithm is utilized to fine-tune the hyperparameters.The proposed QCLSTM-FNC approach was experimentally validated against a benchmark dataset.The QCLSTMFNC approach successfully outperformed all other existing DL models under different measures.

文摘The difficulty of learning English is not only related to interest,but also related to the correctness of learning methods.Especially in English teaching,a comprehensive and in-depth mastery of vocabulary can improve the level of English language,learn English knowledge better,and improve the level of cross-cultural communication.The application of corpus in English classroom vocabulary teaching can provide more educational space for vocabulary teaching,enrich teaching methods,and at the same time,facilitate students to learn vocabulary and lay a foundation for learning English language.To this end,this article first describes the important role of corpus application in vocabulary learning in English classroom teaching.Secondly,it discusses the difficulties of vocabulary learning and the factors that affect the quality of learning.Finally,in order to enhance the learning effect of students and improve the teaching level,several learning strategies have been formulated to continuously highlight the practicality of the corpus.
文摘Background: Cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCCs) represent a collection of disparate conditions that can cause a signal change in the corpus callosum, usually involving the splenium. CLOCCs is present in a variety of disorders, such as cerebral infarction, bleeding, multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, glioblastoma, lymphoma, metabolic diseases, and infections. Since 2020, World Health Organization (W.H.O) defined Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, as a pandemic. Numerous CLOCCs cases have been reported in adults in particular in Japan, in China, and recently in children in Turkey associated with SARS-CoV-2. We report the first case of CLOCCs diagnosed in West Africa (Côte d’Ivoire) in an adult associated with SARS-CoV-2. Case Report: A 60 year-old-woman with a medical history of high blood pressure and diabetes, presented to the emergency department with confusion without fever. Neurological examination was normal apart from temporospatial disorientation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed abnormal signals in the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC). Forty-eight hours (48 h) after admission, the patient experienced a fever (temperature: 385˚C), several episodes of hypoglycemia (capillary blood glycemia levels below 0.5 g/l) and a dry cough. Lung CT imaging showed typical features with ground-glass opacities. Oropharyngeal swab was positive for SARS-CoV-2 on reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay. The clinical course was favorable. One month after disease onset, a follow-up Brain MRI showed considerable regression of SCC abnormal signal. The multiple episodes of hypoglycemia and SARS-COV 2 infection were incriminated as the causal factors. Conclusion: The improvement of the technical platform in our context of work gives us the possibility to identify the etiological factors of this rare clinico-radiological entity.
文摘The True Story of Ah-Q written by Lu Xun has been translated into forty different languages,making great contributions to the external dissemination of Chinese culture.This paper adopts the corpus stylistics method to analyze the translators’styles presented by William A.Lyell and Julia Lovell’s translations of Ah-Q.Based on the self-built comparable corpus of the two translations,the paper investigates and analyzes them from the lexical and sentence level.In terms of vocabulary,the translations are statistically analyzed from the standardized type-token ratio,word frequency,word length and vocabulary density;at the sentence level,the article studies the average sentence lengths and sentence complexity.The first major finding is that Lovell’s vocabulary is richer than that of Lyell,and Lovell’s average word length is longer.Also,the average sentence length of both translations exceeds the original text,and Lovell has the highest average sentence length.Secondly,Lovell prefers to use simple sentences while Lyell prefers complex sentences.Nevertheless,both of them strive to make Lu Xun’s works understandable to foreign readers,thus understanding Chinese culture better.

文摘Da Sheng Bian,a significant work on obstetrics and gynecology that emerged in the early Qing Dynasty,was initially published as“A Treatise on Midwifery”in 1842 by William Lockhart,a British missionary to China.In 1894,John G.Kerr,an American missionary,translated the text as“The Tat Shang Pin”.This paper conducts a comparative study of the two English translations using a self-constructed English-Chinese parallel corpus of Da Sheng Bian.The study explores the translation styles of the two translators by examining the token-types ratio and frequency at the lexical level,mean sentence length at the syntactic level,and the use of conjunctions at the discourse level.The observed differences in translation styles between the two translations are analyzed in relation to the translators’backgrounds and translation strategies.
文摘Objective: To explore the related factors of surgical treatment of patients with corpus luteum rupture and establish a risk prediction model of surgical treatment of corpus luteum rupture. Methods: 222 patients with corpus luteum rupture treated in Jingzhou First People’s Hospital from January 2015 to March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively, including 45 cases of surgery and 177 cases of conservative treatment. The training set and validation set were randomly assigned according to 7:3. We collected the basic information, laboratory and ultrasonic examination data of 222 patients. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors and combined predictors of surgical treatment of corpus luteum rupture. The risk prediction model was established and the nomogram was drawn. The discrimination and calibration of the prediction model were verified and evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test;Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the prediction model. Results: Univariate logistic regression showed that whole abdominal pain (OR: 2.314, 95% CI: 1.090 - 4.912), abdominal muscle tension (OR: 2.379, 95% CI: 1.112 - 5.089), adnexal mass ≥ 4 cm (OR: 3.926, 95% CI: 1.771 - 8.266), hemoglobin Conclusion: The nomogram prediction model containing three predictive variables (hemoglobin, depth of pelvic effusion under ultrasound and cervical lifting pain) can be used to predict the risk of surgical treatment in patients with corpus luteum rupture.
