As large language models (LLMs) continue to evolve, understanding their ability to reflect on and articulate their learned behaviors has become an important aspect of research. Such capabilities, if harnessed, can contribute to more transparent and safer AI systems, enabling users to understand the models’ decision-making processes and potential vulnerabilities. One of the biggest challenges… →
Aims/Background Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent chronic condition affecting approximately 12% of adults, with incidence increasing with age. While pharmacological and behavioural therapies are standard treatments, their efficacy is often limited by side effects and poor adherence. This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of precision magnetic stimulation guided by motor-evoked potential with… →
Bacterial prostatitis (BP) is a common prostatic infection characterized by pain and urinary symptoms, often with negative bacterial cultures from prostatic secretions. It affects young and older men bimodally and impacts quality of life (QoL) significantly. Background and Objectives: Treatment typically involves antibiotics, but a multimodal approach with additional nutraceuticals may enhance outcomes. This study… →
Background and Objectives: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in men and women. With advancements in technology, minimally invasive treatment options have become increasingly prominent in colorectal cancer surgery. This study aimed to compare the increased intra-abdominal pressure in laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery with open procedures using kidney injury molecule-1… →
Background and Objectives: Migraine is a common neurological condition that significantly impacts quality of life, especially in women during their reproductive years. Pregnancy poses unique challenges for migraine management due to hormonal changes and the limited use of pharmacological treatments. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physiotherapy, exercise, and relaxation techniques, offer promising alternatives for managing migraines… →
CONCLUSION: Microneedle pretreatment followed by conventional ALA-PDT shows a good clinical effect on oral leukoplakia, which can significantly shorten the clinical treatment time, reduce the number of visits, and save medical costs. →
As the adoption of generative AI continues to expand, developers face mounting challenges in building and deploying robust applications. The complexity of managing diverse infrastructure, ensuring compliance and safety, and maintaining flexibility in provider choices has created a pressing need for unified solutions. Traditional approaches often involve tight coupling with specific platforms, significant rework during… →
Comprehension and management of large-scale software repositories is a recurring problem in contemporary software development. Although current tools shine when summarizing small code entities such as functions, they struggle to scale to repository-level artifacts such as files and packages. These more abstract summaries are vital for comprehending the intent and behavior of entire codebases, particularly… →
Artificial intelligence models have advanced significantly in recent years, particularly in tasks requiring reasoning, such as mathematics, programming, and scientific problem-solving. However, these advancements come with challenges: computational inefficiency and a tendency to overthink. Overthinking in AI occurs when models engage in overly lengthy reasoning, leading to increased inference costs and slower response times without… →
Text-to-speech (TTS) technology has emerged as a critical tool for bridging the gap between human and machine interaction. The demand for lifelike, emotionally resonant, and linguistically versatile voice synthesis has grown exponentially across entertainment, accessibility, customer service, and education. Traditional TTS systems, while functional, often fall short of delivering the nuanced realism required for immersive… →
