NormalCrafter introduces a novel approach for surface normal estimation in videos, leveraging diffusion priors to achieve high spatial fidelity and temporal consistency over arbitrary-length sequences. Key Highlights: Video Diffusion Model Repurposing – Adapts Stable Video Diffusion (SVD) for normal map prediction, maintaining temporal structure instead of RGB generation. Semantic Feature Regularization (SFR) – Aligns intermediate… →
CONCLUSIONS: The CORE clinical workflow algorithm is feasible and acceptable among women who have newly diagnosed stage I-III breast cancer with plans for surgery as first-line treatment. CORE was also acceptable among clinic staff. →

Cold Therapy For Recovery: A Fast Track To Healing Cold therapy for recovery is a game-changer. It& one of the most effective ways to speed up healing after an injury or intense workout. I’ve used it myself, and it works wonders for reducing pain and inflammation. Let’s dive into how cold therapy helps speed up… →

This phase I/II trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of concurrent atezolizumab with radiation therapy and temozolomide (TMZ) followed by adjuvant atezolizumab and TMZ in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients and to identify pre-treatment correlates with outcome (N = 60). Trial number: NCT03174197. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS) whereas secondary outcomes were retrospective… →

INTRODUCTION: The management of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy remains a topic of debate. Hydroxychloroquine and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) are two immunosuppressive agents that have recently garnered increased attention among patients with IgA nephropathy in China. Several studies have shown the comparable efficacy between MMF and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), with lower adverse event rates for… →

A Coding Tutorial of Model Context Protocol Focusing on Semantic Chunking, Dynamic Token Management, and Context Relevance Scoring for Efficient LLM Interactions Managing context effectively is a critical challenge when working with large language models, especially in environments like Google Colab, where resource constraints and long documents can quickly exceed available token windows. In this… →
