CONCLUSIONS: For women with pregnancy-related PPGP, both lumbar and pelvic supports were beneficial for decreasing pain and disability symptoms. Lumbar support showed better results for managing PPGP than pelvic support. →
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, local anesthetic application to the sternotomy incision site and around the chest tubes after open heart surgery was found to reduce postoperative opioid consumption and positively affect recovery. →
BACKGROUND: The frequency of mammographic surveillance for women after diagnosis of breast cancer varies globally. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether less than annual mammography was non-inferior in terms of breast cancer-specific survival in women aged 50 years or older. →
In our previous tutorial, we built an AI agent capable of answering queries by surfing the web. However, when building agents for longer-running tasks, two critical concepts come into play: persistence and streaming. Persistence allows you to save the state of an agent at any given point, enabling you to resume from that state in… →
Agentic AI gains much value from the capacity to reason about complex environments and make informed decisions with minimal human input. The first article of this five-part series focused on how agents perceive their surroundings and store relevant knowledge. This second article explores how that input and context are transformed into purposeful actions. The Reasoning/Decision-Making… →
Large language models (LLMs) are developed specifically for math, programming, and general autonomous agents and require improvement in reasoning at test time. Various approaches include producing reasoning steps in response to some prompt or using sampling and training models to generate the same step. Reinforcement learning is more likely to give self-exploration and the ability… →
CONCLUSION: The use of OMK2 eye drop after CXL may provide more stable CNFA. In addition, it may also provide faster recovery in CCT. →
CONCLUSIONS: MCIDs for apathy on three scales will help evaluate treatment efficacy at the individual level. However, the modest correspondence between MCID and clinical impression of change suggests the need to consider other scales. →
CONCLUSIONS: Our study recommends that, in the era of medical thoracoscopy, closed pleural biopsy still holds a significant role in the diagnosis of undiagnosed exudative pleural effusions especially where prevalence of tuberculosis is high. It is also a cost effective approach in developing countries like India. →
BACKGROUND: Diagnostic error is a frequent and clinically relevant health-care problem. Whether computerised diagnostic decision support systems (CDDSSs) improve diagnoses is controversial, and prospective randomised trials investigating their effectiveness in routine clinical practice are scarce. We hypothesised that diagnoses made with a CDDSS in the emergency department setting would be superior to unsupported diagnoses. →
