Vision Language Models have been a revolutionizing milestone in the development of language models, which overcomes the shortcomings of predecessor pre-trained LLMs like LLama, GPT, etc. Vision Language Models explore a new territory beyond single modularity to combine inputs from text and image videos. VLMs thus bestow a better understanding of visual-spatial relationships by expanding… →
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This randomized clinical trial found that daily use of chlorhexidine wipes for foot washing for 1 year did not lead to a significant reduction in the risk of new foot complications compared with daily use of soap-and-water wipes. The intervention was well tolerated, and the trial provides important lessons for future studies… →
OpenCV 4.11 introduces significant updates across its modules, enhancing functionality and performance. Key improvements include C++20 support, a new ‘algoHint’ parameter for optimized algorithms, and expanded hardware support with HALs for Qualcomm SoCs and RISC-V RVV extensions. The Core module sees improvements in FileStorage handling of int64 and enhanced accuracy in shape detection functions. The… →
Understanding financial information means analyzing numbers, financial terms, and organized data like tables for useful insights. It requires math calculations and knowledge of economic concepts, rules, and relationships between financial terms. Although sophisticated AI models have shown excellent general reasoning ability, their suitability for financial tasks is questionable. Such tasks require more than simple mathematical… →
CONCLUSIONS: Participant-CHWs viewed serving on a multidisciplinary healthcare team to support Hispanic/Latino and rural-dwelling cancer patients experiencing pain as feasible but identified training and resourcing needs. →
Objectives: Multiple surgical approaches exist to access the infraorbital region to treat fractures. As with facial approaches, the onus is on good esthetics at the end of the procedure. Access is either through transcutaneous or transconjunctival approaches. In this study, we compared two transcutaneous approaches, the infraorbital and subciliary approaches, to assess functional and esthetic… →
Purpose: This study evaluates the response to a motor imagery intervention using visual or auditory inputs in patients with persistent pelvic pain. A secondary objective is to assess how patients’ mental visualization capacity influences intervention outcomes. Methods: Forty patients diagnosed with persistent pelvic pain were enrolled in a randomized trial with six motor imagery sessions… →
CONCLUSION: The REPs-VS teaching platform established herein is an innovative and practical tool that can enhance the comprehension of REPs among undergraduate students, providing a more robust foundation for clinical practice. →
INTRODUCTION: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), or hyperglycemia first diagnosed in pregnancy, affects 7-10% of all pregnancies worldwide. Perinatal risk rises with increasing glycemia at oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The new (2013) WHO criteria recommend a lower fasting, and a higher post-load threshold for GDM diagnosis in comparison to the old (1999) WHO criteria. To… →
