Causal analysis between altered levels of interleukins and obstructive sleep apnea

BackgroundInflammation proteins including interleukins (ILs) have been reported to be related to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aims of this study were to estimate the levels for several key interleukins in OSA and the causal effects be...

Flexoelectricity Modulated Electron Transport of 2D Indium Oxide

Abstract The phenomenon of flexoelectricity, wherein mechanical deformation induces alterations in the electron configuration of metal oxides, has emerged as a promising avenue for regulating electron transport. Leveraging this mechanism, s...

Pulsed force sequences for fast phase-insensitive quantum gates in trapped ions

We show how to create quantum gates of arbitrary speed between trapped ions using a laser walking wave, with complete insensitivity to the drift of the optical phase, and requiring cooling only to the Lamb–Dicke regime. We present pulse seq...

Three-dimensional in vitro models for assessing temozolomide sensitivity in glioblastoma.

Unlocking Clinical Data from Narrative Reports: A Study of Natural Language Processing

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the automated detection of clinical conditions described in narrative reports. DESIGN: Automated methods and human experts detected the presence or absence of six clinical conditions in 200 admission chest radiograph ...

Menstrual Health Education Using a Specialized Large Language Model in India: Development and Evaluation Study of MenstLLaMA

Abstract BackgroundThe quality and accessibility of menstrual health education (MHE) in low- and middle-income countries, including India, remain inadequate due to persistent challenges (eg, poverty, social stigma, and gender in...

Revenue-sensitive evaluation of AI-assisted ICD-10-CM coding and human-AI collaboration under dual DRG payment systems

Abstract Automated ICD-10-CM coding is critical for hospital reimbursement under Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) payment systems, yet standard metrics weight all errors equally. This study evaluated 11 models on MIMIC-IV under heterogeneous c...

Thyroid Ultrasound Appropriateness Identification Through Natural Language Processing of Electronic Health Records

Objective: To address thyroid cancer overdiagnosis, we aim to develop a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to determine the appropriateness of thyroid ultrasounds (TUS). Patients and Methods: Between 2017 and 2021, we identified 18...

Using 311 data to develop an algorithm to identify urban blight for public health improvement.

The growth of administrative data made available publicly, often in near-real time, offers new opportunities for monitoring conditions that impact community health. Urban blight-manifestations of adverse social processes in the urban enviro...

Natural Language Processing in Surgery

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to systematically assess the application and potential benefits of natural language processing (NLP) in surgical outcomes research. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Widespread implementation of electronic health...

Integrating NLP to Enhance Algorithmic Identification of Metastatic and Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer in Large Claims‐Based Studies

ABSTRACT Purpose Accurate classification of prostate cancer (PC) disease states defined by the presence or absence of metastasis and castration resistance (CRPC) is critical but challenging in population‐based research. As chart review is n...

Target reindexing and residual reconstruction enable reliable retrieval augmented few shot recognition

Abstract Retrieval-augmented few-shot recognition supplements sparsely annotated target classes with external visual samples, but open retrieval results may exhibit unstable quality, semantic mismatch, and cross-domain feature shifts. Direc...

Rotigotine Attenuates Mechanical Hypersensitivity in 6-OHDA-Lesioned Rats: Associations with D2/D3 Receptors and Spinal Glial NF-κB/p65 Signaling.

Automated Burr Quality Classification in Drilling of AA6013 Aluminum Alloy Using YOLOv10n

Burr formation during drilling of aluminum alloys can compromise hole quality and assembly accuracy, increasing the need for secondary deburring operations. The time-consuming and operator-dependent nature of manual visual inspection create...

Attack-Aware Deepfake Detection Under Counter-Forensic Manipulations

The rapid proliferation of AI-generated and manipulated visual content requires forensic detectors that remain reliable after routine processing and deliberate counter-forensic modification. This paper presents an attack-aware deepfake dete...
