CONCLUSION: Our data indicate no statistical evidence that minimally invasive surgery is associated with poorer clinical outcomes for patients meeting the SHAPE criteria who underwent simple hysterectomy. Because the surgical approach was not a randomization factor, a large prospective trial is needed to confirm our results before a routine simple hysterectomy by minimally invasive surgery… →
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as transformative tools in research and industry, with their performance directly correlating to model size. However, training these massive models presents significant challenges, related to computational resources, time, and cost. The training process for state-of-the-art models like Llama 3 405B requires extensive hardware infrastructure, utilizing up to 16,000 H100… →
LLMs based on transformer architectures, such as GPT and LLaMA series, have excelled in NLP tasks due to their extensive parameterization and large training datasets. However, research indicates that not all learned parameters are necessary to retain performance, prompting the development of post-training compression techniques to enhance efficiency without significantly reducing inference quality. For example,… →
CONCLUSION: Emphasising nonconformity with mental health stereotypes, portraying positive aspects and utilising short video formats on social media platforms can potentially reduce stigma in the short term. Long-term effectiveness and identification of specific factors optimising attitudes towards mental health help-seeking warrant further investigation. →
Computer Vision is at the intersection of innovation and practicality, allowing machines to interpret and process visual data in ways that were once considered purely science fiction. From enabling autonomous vehicles to enhancing healthcare diagnostics, Computer Vision Engineers are at the forefront of technological advancements shaping the future. With the explosive growth of artificial intelligence… →
BACKGROUND: Tumour hypoxia resulting from inadequate perfusion is common in many solid tumours, including prostate cancer, and constitutes a major limiting factor in radiation therapy that contributes to treatment resistance. Emerging research in preclinical animal models indicates that exercise has the potential to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment by modulating tumour perfusion and reducing… →
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that at a community usage of 40% or more of dual-AI LLINs non-users benefited from the presence of these nets. Noticeably, even when usage was ≤ 40% in the chlorfenapyr arm, non-users were better protected than non-users in the higher coverage pyrethroid-only arm. The greater difference in malaria risk observed between… →
CONCLUSION: Addressing transportation barriers and implementing dedicated case management are crucial for improving healthcare access among rural patients. →
