CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This randomized clinical trial did not find evidence that CBT-I engenders change in the perception of facial expressions at post treatment, despite improvements in insomnia and depressive symptoms. Early change in negative affect, emotional regulation difficulties, and worry mediated lagged depression outcomes and deserve further empirical scrutiny. →
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, developers and organizations often grapple with a series of practical challenges. One of the most significant hurdles is the efficient processing of diverse data types—text, speech, and vision—within a single system. Traditional approaches have typically required separate pipelines for each modality, leading to increased complexity, higher latency, and greater… →
The task of training deep neural networks, especially those with billions of parameters, is inherently resource-intensive. One persistent issue is the mismatch between computation and communication phases. In conventional settings, forward and backward passes are executed sequentially, resulting in intervals where GPUs remain idle while data is exchanged or synchronized. These idle periods, or pipeline… →
Learning useful features from large amounts of unlabeled images is important, and models like DINO and DINOv2 are designed for this. These models work well for tasks like image classification and segmentation, but their training process is difficult. A key challenge is avoiding representation collapse, where the model produces the same output for different images.… →
CONCLUSION: A supportive educational program in the COVID ward can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and depression among patients. This program is feasible for implementation by nurses without additional costs. Future research could explore the long-term effects of such interventions and assess patient satisfaction with the educational program. →
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in women worldwide. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype, accounting for nearly one third of all breast cancers in India. The addition of pembrolizumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy improved the pathological response and event free survival in patients with TNBC. However, for most patients… →
A growing body of research suggests that trigger warnings do not actually reduce distress in those viewing emotionally provocative stimuli and may at times even worsen it. However, little is known regarding the potential benefits of modifying trigger-warning language so that it employs therapeutically consistent messaging to encourage adaptive coping. The current study explored whether… →
INTRODUCTION: Oligodendroglioma (ODG) is a rare type of brain tumour, typically diagnosed in younger adults and associated with prolonged survival following treatment. The current standard of care is maximal safe debulking surgery, radiotherapy (RT) and adjuvant procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy. Patients may experience long-term treatment-related toxicities, with RT linked to impairments of neurocognitive… →
