INTRODUCTION: The incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD) is notably high among patients following colorectal cancer surgery, highlighting the urgency for the prompt development of efficacious preventive and therapeutic approaches. Electroacupuncture (EA) represents an intervention modality that holds promise for the management of POGD. However, the existing empirical evidence substantiating its efficacy remains scarce. The… →
INTRODUCTION: With the growing older adult population, the European Union emphasizes the need to promote research in healthy aging trough multidisciplinary and innovative approaches, including the integration of advanced technologies like virtual reality (VR) in cognitive rehabilitation. This reflects the increasing awareness of the importance of addressing challenges related to neurodegenerative diseases in the older… →
CONCLUSION: The changes in HbA1c were positively correlated with the dose of Coptidis Rhizoma, but not significantly with the dose of Puerariae Lobatae Radix. It demonstrated that the main drug of GQD in treating T2D patients is Coptidis Rhizoma. →
OpenAI has unveiled Sora, its new text-to-video generation tool, a major step forward in AI-powered content creation. However, the launch comes with a notable exception: users in the European Union and the United Kingdom won’t have access for now, highlighting ongoing challenges between innovation and regulation. Sora is OpenAI’s answer to simplifying video production. It… →
Inspired by human cognitive processes, large language models (LLMs) possess an intriguing ability to interpret and represent abstract world states, which are specific snapshots of the situation or context (basically the environment) described in the text, such as the arrangement of objects or tasks in a virtual or real-world scenario. The research explores this potential… →
CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: Despite all the new treatments, there is still a chance of treatment failure, and there is no consensus on the standard treatment. It is suggested that in future studies, ciprofloxacin-based four-drug regimens will be compared with other four-drug and three-drug regimens in terms of H. pylori eradication. →
INTRODUCTION: Flexor tendon entrapment of digits, presenting with symptoms such as catching or locking of the affected finger during movement, with or without pain, is known as trigger digit and trigger thumb. In these cases, involvement of the Flexor pollicis longus tendon often manifests as a fixed flexion contracture, which can become problematic if not… →
CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: Constipation is one of the critical problems among children with CP, and PEG could provide more favorable outcomes than lactulose as a treatment option for patients with constipation. →
Research in code embedding models has witnessed a significant breakthrough with the introduction of voyage-code-3, an advanced embedding model specifically designed for code retrieval tasks by researchers from Voyage AI. The model demonstrates remarkable performance, substantially outperforming existing state-of-the-art solutions like OpenAI-v3-large and CodeSage-large. Empirical evaluations across a comprehensive suite of 238 code retrieval datasets… →
Medical question-answering (QA) systems are critical in modern healthcare, providing essential tools for medical practitioners and the public. Long-form QA systems differ significantly from simpler models by offering detailed explanations reflecting real-world clinical scenarios’ complexity. These systems must accurately interpret nuanced questions, often with incomplete or ambiguous information, and produce reliable, in-depth answers. With the… →
