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… →
CONCLUSION: No clinically-meaningful effects of aspirin or omega-3 FAs on AMD were found. Although the study had very limited statistical power to detect clinically relevant effects, these data overcome some methodological limitations of previous observational studies, providing randomised evidence of both treatments on AMD, which could contribute to future meta-analyses. →
Modern software development faces a multitude of challenges that extend beyond simple code generation or bug detection. Developers must navigate complex codebases, manage legacy systems, and address subtle issues that standard automated tools often overlook. Traditional approaches in automated program repair have largely relied on supervised learning techniques or proprietary systems that are not easily… →
Diffusion models are promising in long-horizon planning by generating complex trajectories through iterative denoising. However, their ability to improve performance through more computation at test time is minimal. In comparison to Monte Carlo Tree Search, whose strength lies in taking advantage of additional computational resources, typical diffusion-based planners will likely suffer from diminishing returns in… →
