CONCLUSIONS: The study did not provide evidence that low-dose colchicine could reduce the risk of subsequent stroke within 90 days as compared with placebo among patients with acute non-cardioembolic minor-to-moderate ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack and a high sensitivity C-reactive protein ≥2 mg/L. →
INTRODUCTION: Insomnia is a common health problem and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is recommended as a treatment. As there is a critical shortage of CBT-trained therapists, we developed a digital CBT application (IIIP MED: Sleepy Med) as Software as a Medical Device for insomnia. This paper describes the study protocol for an exploratory randomised controlled trial… →
A significant challenge in the realm of large language models (LLMs) is the high computational cost associated with multi-agent debates (MAD). These debates, where multiple agents communicate to enhance reasoning and factual accuracy, often involve a fully connected communication topology. This means each agent references the solutions generated by all other agents, leading to expanded… →
Large language models (LLMs) have made significant strides in natural language understanding and generation. However, they face a critical challenge when handling long contexts due to limitations in context window size and memory usage. This issue hinders their ability to process and comprehend extensive text inputs effectively. As the demand for LLMs to handle increasingly… →
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have become prominent in artificial intelligence (AI) research. They integrate sensory inputs like vision and language to create more comprehensive systems. These models are crucial in applications such as autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and interactive AI assistants, where understanding and processing information from diverse sources is essential. However, a significant challenge… →

Its design is a testament to cutting-edge innovation, aiming to redefine the possibilities within AI computations and applications. At the center of Sohu’s exceptional performance is its advanced processing capabilities, which enable it to handle… →
CONCLUSIONS: The results support the use of both the UP and SAGT in the treatment of severe shame. The superiority of the UP over SAGT in reducing negative emotionality is interpreted in terms of the specific mechanisms targeted by the UP. The results provide support for the theoretical rationale for the UP as a treatment… →
Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the field of natural language processing (NLP). These models, renowned for their ability to generate and understand human language, are applied in various domains such as chatbots, translation services, and content creation. Continuous development in this field aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these models, making… →
CONCLUSIONS: The IORC lenses with an actual MD of 4.50 D provided acceptable objective and subjective visual performance and were well tolerated by children. →
The aim of this clinical, prospective, randomized, and parallel study was to evaluate different in-office treatments for dentin hypersensitivity (DH). One hundred ninety-two teeth with non-cavitated root exposures were treated using different desensitizers: fluoride varnish (Duraphat — FLU); bioactive ceramic solution (Biosilicate — BIOS); universal self-etching adhesive (Single Bond Universal — SBU); bioactive photoactivated varnish… →
