“…Liver stiffness (LS)≥25 kPa can be used as a surrogate of HVPG≥10 mm Hg to rule in CSPH with 90% of the positive predicting value in majority aetiologies of patients. A compelling argument is existing for using LS≥25 kPa to diagnose CSPH and then to initiate carvedilol in patients with compensated cirrhosis, and about 5%–6% of patients under this diagnosis criteria may not be benefited from carvedilol and are at risk of lower heart rate and mean arterial pressure. …”

New design paradigm for federated edge learning towards 6G:task-oriented resource management strategies by Zhiqin WANG, Jiamo JIANG, Peixi LIU, Xiaowen CAO, Yang LI, Kaifeng HAN, Ying DU, Guangxu ZHU

“…For the user scheduling problem, the proposed user scheduling (TLM) scheme is compared with three other common scheduling schemes in the simulation, and the average precision is shown when the communication time is 6 000 s and 14 000 s, where the average Accuracy is obtained by measuring the IoU, the intersection of union, of the predicted value and the true value. The CA scheme yields the worst accuracy on car 1 with the largest channel attenuation, while the IA scheme exhibits the lowest accuracy on car 4 where the data is less important. …”
