CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study support the conclusion that the Caries Finder and BlueCheck methods compare favorably with the traditional method of carious dentin detection. Caries Finder and BlueCheck detection methods were found to have comparable performance in their ability to differentiate carious dentin from healthy tooth structure in vitro; however further in vivo… →
CONCLUSIONS: Findings underscore the role of disclosure efficacy in facilitating cancer-related disclosure among cancer survivors. Likewise, findings suggest the utility of developing interventions that enhance disclosure efficacy and provide opportunities for behavioral rehearsal of cancer-related disclosures. →
Knowledge graphs (KGs) are the foundation of artificial intelligence applications but are incomplete and sparse, affecting their effectiveness. Well-established KGs such as DBpedia and Wikidata lack essential entity relationships, diminishing their utility in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and other machine-learning tasks. Traditional extraction methods are likely to provide sparse graphs with absent important connections or noisy,… →
In this tutorial, we will build an interactive text-to-image generator application accessed through Google Colab and a public link using Hugging Face’s Diffusers library and Gradio. You’ll learn how to transform simple text prompts into detailed images by leveraging the state-of-the-art Stable Diffusion model and GPU acceleration. We’ll walk through setting up the environment, installing… →
The field of large language models has long been dominated by autoregressive methods that predict text sequentially from left to right. While these approaches power today’s most capable AI systems, they face fundamental limitations in computational efficiency and bidirectional reasoning. A research team from China has now challenged the assumption that autoregressive modeling is the… →
CONCLUSIONS: CR refers to the individual susceptibility to age-related brain changes and pathologies in cognitive impairment, and it is a factor affecting the trajectories of the disease. Although acupuncture is a widely used intervention for various neurological diseases, including dementia, its mechanism associated with CR at the macroscale has not been clearly identified. This study… →
CONCLUSION: Combining topical insulin with MFR is safe and could accelerate the early acne scar improvement. →
Multimodal AI agents are designed to process and integrate various data types, such as images, text, and videos, to perform tasks in digital and physical environments. They are used in robotics, virtual assistants, and user interface automation, where they need to understand and act based on complex multimodal inputs. These systems aim to bridge verbal… →
CONCLUSION: Surgical approaches for management of peri-implantitis demonstrated significant benefits over laser therapy in terms of treatment success and PD reduction. Nevertheless, diode laser therapy, as described in this study, could represent a minimally invasive alternative for treatment of non-advanced peri-implantitis defects. →
