Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) is a key method for training machine learning models like neural networks while ensuring privacy. It modifies the standard gradient descent process by clipping individual gradients to a fixed norm and adding noise to the aggregated gradients of each mini-batch. This approach enables privacy by preventing sensitive information in… →
Background: The active mechanisms of change are unclear in early-provided exposure-based interventions for psychological trauma. This study aimed to address this gap by analysing weekly data from a randomised trial involving a 3-week therapist-guided online intervention based on prolonged exposure compared to a waiting-list control group.Method: The objective was to investigate whether changes in each… →

Speech synthesis has become a transformative research area, focusing on creating natural and synchronized audio outputs from diverse inputs. Integrating text, video, and audio data provides a more comprehensive approach to mimic human-like communication. Advances in machine learning, particularly transformer-based architectures, have driven innovations, enabling applications like cross-lingual dubbing and personalized voice synthesis to thrive.… →
CONCLUSION: Esketamine-propofol anesthesia significantly reduces the risk of hypoxia (SpO(2) < 92%) compared to sufentanil-propofol, while maintaining similar awakening time, satisfaction, postoperative exhaust time, and side events. Its hemodynamic advantages make it valuable for clinical use, especially in procedures requiring respiratory and hemodynamic stability. →
CONCLUSION: BZYQP is feasible and safe to effectively improve the appetite of patients with CRC receiving chemotherapy and help them with better quality of life. →
CONCLUSION: Sixteen weeks of Baduanjin exercise may substantially enhance HRV, potentially aiding in balancing sympathetic-vagal nerve activity and thus contributing to the regulation of mental health. →
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to placebo, BTID significantly reduced the change in PG levels during the MMTT and decreased the risk of large PG fluctuations by 65.5%. These effects were associated to a significant reduction in postprandial insulin secretion and may help to improved insulin sensitivity and a lower β-cell burden. →
Non-pharmacological interventions are available to improve sleep quality including mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and physical activity (PA). The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of MBSR and PA interventions as an augmentation to treatment as usual with sertraline to improve sleep and psychological factors among patients with MDD. Sixty-seven patients in… →
