Artificial neural networks (ANNs) show a remarkable pattern when trained on natural data irrespective of exact initialization, dataset, or training objective; models trained on the same data domain converge to similar learned patterns. For example, for different image models, the initial layer weights tend to converge to Gabor filters and color-contrast detectors. Many such features… →
CONCLUSION: Escitalopram and sertraline showed comparable efficacy for anxiety symptoms, cognitive function, and daily living abilities in PSD patients. In addition, escitalopram was more appropriate for alleviating depressive symptoms. To validate the conclusion, trials with a larger sample size are in demand in the future. The registration number is ChiCTR1800017373. →
CONCLUSION: A 3-fold increase in the reported intake of dietary supplements was seen in women after a breast cancer diagnosis. These observations underscore the need to incorporate patient education surrounding the use of dietary supplements in a treatment care plan, particularly addressing the negligible benefits as well as the potential risks and treatment interactions. →
In the last year, artificial intelligence’s advancement and appeal reached unprecedented heights. There is also a lot of talk on the moral implications of this technology. Still, deep-learning models can do much more than produce social media posts with made-up words or amusing false photos of celebrities. If you’re a filmmaker looking to streamline your… →
This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of the non-specific uptake (NSU) of ^(18)F-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (^(18)F-FAPI) of the pancreas and investigate the related factors. Totally, 78 patients who underwent both ^(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and ^(18)F-FAPI PET/CT examinations were divided into normal (n = 53) and NSU (n = 25) groups. The differences in… →
Despite opposing insulin sensitivity and cardiometabolic risk, both athletes and patients with type 2 diabetes have increased skeletal myocyte fat storage: the so-called «athlete’s paradox». In a parallel non-randomised, non-blinded trial (NCT03065140), we characterised and compared the skeletal myocyte lipid signature of 29 male endurance athletes and 30 patients with diabetes after undergoing deconditioning or… →
CONCLUSIONS: USD was associated with adverse procedural complications and cardiac events during follow-up when not identified and corrected. The predominant mechanisms were undetected abluminal rewiring and guide catheter collision. Left main bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention was a particular risk with USD detected in 18.5% of cases. →
