A comparative study of sonographic and clinical parameters in patient with upper trapezius muscle trigger point following dry needling and intramuscular electrical stimulation: a randomized control trial
CONCLUSION: It seems that both IMES and DN have promising effects for improving upper trapezius TrPs. However, IMES is more effective in some clinical and ultrasound parameters. In order to investigate the effects of this intervention more precisely more studies are necessary. →

Updated progression-free survival and final overall survival with maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab according to clinical risk in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer in the phase III PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial
CONCLUSION: This post hoc analysis indicates that in patients with newly diagnosed advanced HRD-positive ovarian cancer, maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab should not be limited to those considered at higher risk of disease progression. Five-year progression-free survival rates support long-term remission and suggest an increased potential for cure with particular benefit suggested in lower-risk HRD-positive patients. →

A randomized controlled trial on the oncologic outcomes of use of the intrauterine manipulator in the treatment of apparent uterine-confined endometrial carcinoma: the MANEC Trial
BACKGROUND: The intrauterine manipulator used during a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer has been suggested as a reason for worsening oncologic outcomes. However, only a few non-randomized retrospective studies have investigated this association. →

Reflection Begins in Pre-Training: Essential AI Researchers Demonstrate Early Emergence of Reflective Reasoning in LLMs Using Adversarial Datasets What sets large language models (LLMs) apart from traditional methods is their emerging capacity to reflect—recognizing when something in their response doesn’t align with logic or facts and then attempting to fix it. This ability, referred to… →
