Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) provides leverage to extract and fuse features from all layers of its architecture. However, extracting fusing intermediate different CNN structure is still uninvestigated for Human Action Recognition (HAR) using depth inertial sensors. To get maximum benefit accessing the CNN's layers, in this paper, we propose novel Multistage Gated Average Fusion (MGAF) net...

Abstract Background A cumulative environmental exposure score for schizophrenia (exposome [ES-SCZ]) may provide potential utility risk stratification and outcome prediction. Here, we investigated whether ES-SCZ was associated with functioning in patients spectrum disorder, unaffected siblings, healthy controls. Methods This cross-sectional sample consisted of 1,261 patients, 1,282 1,525 The Glo...

Method Correlation analysis of total scores and factor analysis usingcombined data fromthe Health ofthe Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS).The Camberwell Assessmentof Need Short Appraisal Schedule (CANSAS), the Threshold Assessment Grid (TAG) and the Global Assessmentof Functioning (GAF) were performed.Procrustes analysis on factors and scales, andWard’s cluster analysis to groupthe items, were appl...

AIM The aim of this study was to examine the speed of response, doses, and safety of treatment with second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) in patients at ultra-high risk (UHR) compared to those with schizophrenia. METHODS A 12-week open-label, prospective study of SGAs was performed in UHR patients and those with first-episode schizophrenia (FES) and multi-episode schizophrenia (MES). The su...

BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest elevated inflammation in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, with increased activity of the Interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, von Willebrand factor (vWf) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). It is unclear how immune activation is involved in the psychopathology. We investigated if elevated inflammation was associated with di...

BACKGROUND A significant number of patients with major depressive disorder are unresponsive to conventional therapies. For these patients, neuromodulation approaches are being investigated. OBJECTIVE To determine whether epidural cortical stimulation at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is safe and efficacious for major depressive disorder through a safety and feasibility study. METHO...

Crossbreeding of Australian Superfine Merinos (ASMs) with Gansu Alpine Finewool (GAF) sheep and an evaluation of the potential benefits of this genetic cross has not been previously conducted. 13 ASMs were crossbred with GAF sheep over a five year period with backcrossing designed to assess heterosis. Data from 11,178 lambs sired by 189 rams were used in the study. Genotype, birth year, birth t...

BACKGROUND We set out to examine whether structured professional judgement instruments DUNDRUM-3 programme completion (D-3) and DUNDRUM-4 recovery (D-4) scales along with measures of risk, mental state and global function could distinguish between those forensic patients detained in a secure forensic hospital (not guilty by reason of insanity or unfit to stand trial) who were subsequently disch...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program on psychiatric symptoms, global functioning, life satisfaction, and recovery-promoting relationships among individuals with mental illness. METHODS Participants were patients at the Suwon Mental Health Center. Thirty-two patients were part of the ACT program and 32 patients matched fo...
