Serum C-Terminal Agrin Fragment With Acute and Long-Term Exercise and Angiotensin II Type I Receptor Blockade
CONCLUSIONS: Serum CAF was unaffected by 16 weeks of EX but increased by LOS supplementation. 1EX, performed with one leg, acutely lowered serum CAF, albeit with substantial interindividual variability. These findings collectively identify novel stimuli of serum CAF turnover-drug interaction and time from last exercise bout to blood sampling. These findings add value to CAF… →

LifelongAgentBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Continuous Learning in LLM-Based Agents
LifelongAgentBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Continuous Learning in LLM-Based Agents Lifelong learning is essential for intelligent agents operating in dynamic environments. However, current LLM-based agents often lack memory, treating each task as a new challenge. While LLMs have significantly advanced language tasks and inspired agent-based systems, these agents remain stateless, unable to learn from past… →

Introduction to Vision Language Models
Imagine an expert sommelier. They don’t just identify a wine; they experience it through multiple senses. They see its deep ruby color, inhale its bouquet of black cherry and oak, and taste its complex notes on their palate. They then translate this rich, sensory experience into evocative language, describing it as a “bold Cabernet Sauvignon… →

Analytical treatment interruption among women with HIV in southern Africa who received VRC01 or placebo in the Antibody Mediated Prevention Study: ATI stakeholder engagement, implementation and early clinical data
CONCLUSIONS: In a safe, well-tolerated ATI, 18% of 11 African women exhibited post-intervention control. Design and implementation lessons inform future ATIs in Africa. Analyses of peri-acquisition and post-ATI host and viral characteristics can inform the development of interventions for HIV cure, prevention and treatment. →

Effectiveness of stationary cycling with electromyographic biofeedback on neuromuscular control and function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: a feasibility study
CONCLUSIONS: A six-week cycling program can alleviate pain and enhance knee function. EMG biofeedback of the vastus medialis significantly changed the neuromuscular control in the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis during cycling. Therefore, this study demonstrated that stationary cycling combined with electromyographic biofeedback training can enhance neuromuscular control of the quadriceps and potentially improve functional… →
