BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer enables pathological complete response (pCR) in patients initially diagnosed with axillary lymph node metastases, potentially obviating the need for axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Current targeted axillary dissection (TAD) techniques, guided by traditional tissue markers placed prior to NAC, face challenges such as marker loss and high costs.… →
Ketamine is a highly effective antidepressant (AD) that targets the glutamatergic system and exerts profound effects on brain circuits during negative emotional processing. Interestingly, the effects of ketamine on brain measures are sensitive to modulation by pretreatment with lamotrigine, which inhibits glutamate release. Examining the antagonistic effects of ketamine and lamotrigine on glutamate transmission holds… →
CONCLUSION: The point-toward-point insertion of elongated needle alleviates fatigue, anxiety and depression, and ameliorates sleep and motor function in the patients with post-stroke fatigue. It may be related to the attenuation of inflammatory responses. →
A major challenge in the evaluation of vision-language models (VLMs) lies in understanding their diverse capabilities across a wide range of real-world tasks. Existing benchmarks often fall short, focusing on narrow sets of tasks or limited output formats, resulting in inadequate evaluation of the models’ full potential. The problem becomes more pronounced when evaluating newer… →
Current text-to-image generation models face significant challenges with computational efficiency and refining image details, particularly at higher resolutions. Most diffusion models perform the generation process in a single stage, requiring each denoising step to be conducted on high-resolution images. This results in high computational costs and inefficiencies, making it difficult to produce fine details without… →
The challenge lies in automating computer tasks by replicating human-like interaction, which involves understanding varied user interfaces, adapting to new applications, and managing complex sequences of actions similar to how a human would perform them. Current solutions struggle with handling complex and varied interfaces, acquiring and updating domain-specific knowledge, and planning multi-step tasks that require… →
BACKGROUND: Resistance training is hardly recommended for postmenopausal women to counteract negative effects of hormonal changes. However, some concern exists about the marked hemodynamic responses caused by high-load resistance exercises. In this regard, studies on young, healthy, physically active individuals suggest that set configuration can modulate acute cardiovascular, metabolic, and cardiac autonomic responses caused by… →
A Model Inversion (MI) attack is a type of privacy attack on machine learning and deep learning models, where an attacker tries to invert the model’s outputs to recreate privacy-sensitive training data that was used during training including the leakage of private images in face recognition models, sensitive health details in medical data, financial information… →
Web Agents are no longer just a concept from science fiction—they’re the cutting-edge tools that are automating and streamlining our online interactions at an unprecedented scale. From effortlessly sifting through vast amounts of information to performing complex tasks like form submissions and website navigation, these agents are redefining efficiency in the digital age. Thanks to… →
Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) have burst onto the scene, introducing us to “copilots,” “chatbots,” and the increasingly pivotal “AI agents.” These advancements unfold at breakneck speed, making it challenging to keep up. We’ve been at the forefront of this revolution, witnessing how AI agents—or “agentic workflows,” as Andrew Ng refers to them—are… →
