Effect of Colonoscopy Screening on Risks of Colorectal Cancer and Related Death
In this randomized trial involving 84,585 participants in Poland, Norway, and Sweden, the risk of colorectal cancer at 10 years was lower among those invited to undergo screening colonoscopy than among those assigned to no screening.

Computer Vision Applications in Intelligent Transportation Systems: A Survey
As technology continues to develop, computer vision (CV) applications are becoming increasingly widespread in the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) context. These applications are developed to improve the efficiency of transportation systems, increase their level of intelligence, and enhance traffic safety. Advances in CV play an important role in solving problems in the fields of traffic monitoring and control, incident detection and management, road usage pricing, and road condition monitoring, among many others, by providing more effective methods. This survey examines CV applications in the literature, the machine learning and deep learning methods used in ITS applications, the applicability of computer vision applications in ITS contexts, the advantages these technologies offer and the difficulties they present, and future research areas and trends, with the goal of increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety level of ITS. The present review, which brings together research from various sources, aims to show how computer vision techniques can help transportation systems to become smarter by presenting a holistic picture of the literature on different CV applications in the ITS context.

Real-time surgical instrument detection in robot-assisted surgery using a convolutional neural network cascade
Surgical instrument detection in robot-assisted surgery videos is an import vision component for these systems. Most of the current deep learning methods focus on single-tool detection and suffer from low detection speed. To address this, the authors propose a novel frame-by-frame detection method using a cascading convolutional neural network (CNN) which consists of two different CNNs for real-time multi-tool detection. An hourglass network and a modified visual geometry group (VGG) network are applied to jointly predict the localisation. The former CNN outputs detection heatmaps representing the location of tool tip areas, and the latter performs bounding-box regression for tool tip areas on these heatmaps stacked with input RGB image frames. The authors’ method is tested on the publicly available EndoVis Challenge dataset and the ATLAS Dione dataset. The experimental results show that their method achieves better performance than mainstream detection methods in terms of detection accuracy and speed.

Current and emerging trends in techniques for plant pathogen detection
Plant pathogenic microorganisms cause substantial yield losses in several economically important crops, resulting in economic and social adversity. The spread of such plant pathogens and the emergence of new diseases is facilitated by human practices such as monoculture farming and global trade. Therefore, the early detection and identification of pathogens is of utmost importance to reduce the associated agricultural losses. In this review, techniques that are currently available to detect plant pathogens are discussed, including culture-based, PCR-based, sequencing-based, and immunology-based techniques. Their working principles are explained, followed by an overview of the main advantages and disadvantages, and examples of their use in plant pathogen detection. In addition to the more conventional and commonly used techniques, we also point to some recent evolutions in the field of plant pathogen detection. The potential use of point-of-care devices, including biosensors, have gained in popularity. These devices can provide fast analysis, are easy to use, and most importantly can be used for on-site diagnosis, allowing the farmers to take rapid disease management decisions.

A Spatial-Temporal Attention-Based Method and a New Dataset for Remote Sensing Image Change Detection
Remote sensing image change detection (CD) is done to identify desired significant changes between bitemporal images. Given two co-registered images taken at different times, the illumination variations and misregistration errors overwhelm the real object changes. Exploring the relationships among different spatial–temporal pixels may improve the performances of CD methods. In our work, we propose a novel Siamese-based spatial–temporal attention neural network. In contrast to previous methods that separately encode the bitemporal images without referring to any useful spatial–temporal dependency, we design a CD self-attention mechanism to model the spatial–temporal relationships. We integrate a new CD self-attention module in the procedure of feature extraction. Our self-attention module calculates the attention weights between any two pixels at different times and positions and uses them to generate more discriminative features. Considering that the object may have different scales, we partition the image into multi-scale subregions and introduce the self-attention in each subregion. In this way, we could capture spatial–temporal dependencies at various scales, thereby generating better representations to accommodate objects of various sizes. We also introduce a CD dataset LEVIR-CD, which is two orders of magnitude larger than other public datasets of this field. LEVIR-CD consists of a large set of bitemporal Google Earth images, with 637 image pairs (1024 × 1024) and over 31 k independently labeled change instances. Our proposed attention module improves the F1-score of our baseline model from 83.9 to 87.3 with acceptable computational overhead. Experimental results on a public remote sensing image CD dataset show our method outperforms several other state-of-the-art methods.
