CONCLUSIONS: Both Tele-cEEG and Tele-rEEG are feasible, although Tele-EEG requires additional EEG specialists, budget, and computational resources. While Tele-cEEG may help detect NCS/NCSE, this study had limited power to detect its efficacy in reducing mortality or improving functional outcomes. In limited-resource settings, Tele-rEEG approximating 30 min or longer offers a feasible and potentially valuable initial… →
CONCLUSION: These qualitative research results identified several important barriers to engaging in HIV care and provide insights into the mechanisms through which the Daraja intervention operated to affect the perceived stigma, social support, self-efficacy, and increased capacity of participants to navigate the HIV clinic during HIV clinic linkage. →
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that WB-EMS is safe and feasible for cancer patients. Furthermore, it showed that even after 2 weeks, improvements concerning the physical performance and patient-reported outcomes can be achieved. This study indicates benefits of WB-EMS as short-term exercise methode in cancer patients, that could be utelised in fields such as cancer prehabilitation. →
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and subjects’ perception of the Modified Schirmer Test (MST) to the traditional Unstimulated Salivary Flow Test (USFT) when measuring salivary flow rate for screening and monitoring patients’ dry mouth. →
Microsoft has open-sourced Phi-4, a compact and efficient small language model, on Hugging Face under the MIT license. This decision highlights a shift towards transparency and collaboration in the AI community, offering developers and researchers new opportunities. What Is Microsoft Phi-4? Phi-4 is a 14-billion-parameter language model developed with a focus on data quality and… →
Language-based agentic systems represent a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, allowing for the automation of tasks such as question-answering, programming, and advanced problem-solving. These systems, heavily reliant on Large Language Models (LLMs), communicate using natural language. This innovative design reduces the engineering complexity of individual components and enables seamless interaction between them, paving the way for… →
The o1 model’s impressive performance in complex reasoning highlights the potential of test-time computing scaling, which enhances System-2 thinking by allocating greater computational effort during inference. While deep learning’s scaling effects have driven advancements in AI, particularly in LLMs like GPT, further scaling during training faces limitations due to data scarcity and computational constraints. Additionally,… →
The study was designed to appraise the effects of early antibiotic administration on reproductive tract infections and fetal membrane cell scorching in instances of premature rupture of membranes (PROM). A total of 107 pregnant women diagnosed with PROM between July 2020 and June 2022 were randomly assigned to two groups: the Intervention (n=54), where ampicillin… →
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the post-exercise consumption of CH or DP does not improve indices of EIMD during the acute recovery period in recreationally active males. →
CONCLUSIONS: A Mindful Eating approach may aid in managing dysfunctional cognitive restraint, a key component for sustainable excess weight treatment. The protocol can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05845411). →
