Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of diaphragm ultrasound in predicting the success of extubation from tracheotomy in patients with acquired brain injury.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 51 brain-injured patients. They were divided into an extubation failure group and an extubation success group. The results of ultrasound examination of the diaphragm in the 2 groups were analyzed by univariate analysis, and the independent variables with significance were further subjected to multivariate logistic regression analysis. R software was applied to build the diaphragm indicators showing significant predictive power into a histogram model. The predictive value of this nomogram model was assessed using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.Results:The univariate analysis revealed significant differences between the two groups in terms of diaphragm excursion, diaphragm thickening fraction and diaphragm excursion-time index. The multivariate logistic regression analysis and the nomogram showed that those three variables are independent influencing factors predicting the success of decannulation. The areas under the ROC curves confirmed that finding.Conclusions:Diaphragm excursion, diaphragm thickening fraction and the diaphragm excursion-time index are useful independent predictors of the success of decannulation among brain injury patients.

Objective To propose a low-dose CT image denoising method based on an improved Corediff model to recover the detailed features of the image and enhance the image quality.Methods An RS-Corediff model was established by modifying the key component U-Net network of the Corediff model.Firstly,the residual module was introduced in the network input stage for feature extraction;secondly,a new downsampling module was designed in the U-Net network encoder,which learned the semantic information of the feature map by convolution and maintained the learning state during the downsampling process so as to fully extract the image features;thirdly,the feature splicing processing was used to further enhance the learning effect during the upsampling process of the U-Net network decoder;finally,the convolutional kernel size was modified to adjust the sensory field during the convolutional process of the whole U-Net network structure so as to obtain rich features.The RS-Corediff model was compared with the residual encoder-decoder convolutional neural network(RED-CNN)model and the Corediff model on the public dataset AAPM 2016 in order to verify its effectiveness for low-dose CT image denoising.Results The RS-Corediff model gained advantages over the RED-CNN and Corediff models with a peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)of 41.269 8,structural similarity(SSIM)of 0.953 4 and root mean square error(RMSE)of 17.568 7.Conclusion The proposed method effectively preserves the texture and details of low-dose CT images during the denoising process to improve the overall quality of the images.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(5):9-13]
