Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting the clearance of jaundice in children with biliary Atresia after Kasai portoenterostomy
CONCLUSION: This study developed and validated a nomogram incorporating four indictors, including Age at KPE, postoperative AST level at two weeks, CR of DB at two weeks post-KPE and F-score at KPE, may be useful for predicting CJ at 3 months after KPE in children with BA. →

Efficacy of Action of Low-Temperature Plasma Radiofrequency Ablation in the Treatment of Early Glottic Carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate the successful application of low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation in the management of early glottic carcinoma. This innovative technique offers several potential advantages, including reduced intraoperative bleeding, shorter surgical duration, and hospital stay. Additionally, it promotes enhanced postoperative voice restoration and mucosal healing, while minimizing the occurrence of postoperative complications. These compelling… →

Lung cancer screening in Finland: a prospective randomized trial
BACKGROUND: Early detection of lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening can shift diagnoses to early-stage disease and improve survival. However, LDCT has several challenges such as high false positive rate and indefinite cost-effectiveness. We report here secondary and exploratory endpoints of the Low-dose CT screening for lung cancer combined with different smoking cessation… →

NVIDIA Researchers Introduce Dynamic Memory Sparsification (DMS) for 8× KV Cache Compression in Transformer LLMs
NVIDIA Researchers Introduce Dynamic Memory Sparsification (DMS) for 8× KV Cache Compression in Transformer LLMs As the demand for reasoning-heavy tasks increases, large language models (LLMs) are expected to generate longer sequences or parallel chains of reasoning. However, inference-time performance is significantly hindered by the memory footprint of the key–value (KV) cache, not just the… →

A New Metric Yields a New Perspective
What’s your measure of a good day? For many of us, it’s all about productivity — how much we manage to get done. We idealize efficiency as a virtue that, if mastered, will free us from the great trap of “never enough time.” But it often seems that by consuming books, lectures, and articles on… →
