Effects of bariatric surgery upon the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in obese humans by Andreas Kraag Ziegler, Mette Christensen, Henrik Løvendahl Jørgensen, Mogens Fenger, Sara Fogh Myrup, Carsten Dirksen, Sten Madsbad

“…We show that a ≈ 30% reduction in bodyweight following RYGB, is accompanied by an increase in circulating cortisol, and decrease in the concentrations of systemic metanephrines concomitant with a transient reduction in systolic blood pressure, and that the endocrine changes persist for at least 24 months post-surgery. The decrease in SNS activity was weakly, but significantly correlated with postoperative improvements in HbA1c. …”

YOLO-SW: A Real-Time Weed Detection Model for Soybean Fields Using Swin Transformer and RT-DETR by Yizhou Shuai, Jingsha Shi, Yi Li, Shaohao Zhou, Lihua Zhang, Jiong Mu

“…The research stands out for its novel integration of three key advancements: the Swin Transformer backbone, which leverages local window self-attention to achieve linear O(N) computational complexity for efficient global context capture; the CARAFE dynamic upsampling operator, which enhances small target localization through context-aware kernel generation; and the RTDETR encoder, which enables end-to-end detection via IoU-aware query selection, eliminating the need for complex post-processing. Additionally, a dataset of six common soybean weeds was expanded to 12,500 images through simulated fog, rain, and snow augmentation, effectively resolving data imbalance and boosting model robustness. …”
