In late November 2024, scientists made an exciting yet concerning discovery near Keelung Port, northern Taiwan. Two adult specimens of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) were found at a depth of roughly 20 meters. This is the first time this Mediterranean fish has been spotted in the northwestern Pa
Abusive head trauma, a severe child abuse injury, is a major killer of young kids. Doctors often rely on basic patient info from Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to spot these cases. But what if there's more to the story? Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLM) can dig deeper in
You might think that big language models, like the ones powering AI doctors, can predict diseases as well as traditional classifiers. But hold on, let's dig into this! These AI doctors use something called next-word probability to make guesses. However, this isn't the same as the pre-test probabilit
As businesses keep adopting large language models (LLMs), one big hurdle is making these models smarter and less prone to making stuff up. A team from Meta AI has come up with a clever solution: scalable memory layers. These layers add more brainpower to LLMs without needing extra computing power. T
The Washington Commanders’ rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, is making waves in the NFL. His impressive performance has helped the Commanders reach the divisional round of the playoffs. In their wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Daniels led a clutch fourth-quarter drive that ended w
Imagine you're battling metastatic breast cancer (mBC). You're wondering if a supervised exercise program could do more than just keep you active. Researchers decided to test this idea. They conducted a study called the PREFERABLE-EFFECT trial. This trial compared a 9-month exercise program with usu
Ever wondered what makes some people eat healthier than others, especially those with high blood pressure? Scientists have been digging into this, focusing on low-income adults with hypertension. They want to know how things like age, education, and daily habits affect their diet quality. This isn't
When it comes to cleaning up radioactive iodine in soils and sediments, scientists often rely on an approach that assumes it all behaves the same way. This can be like trying to solve a puzzle with the wrong pieces—you might get close, but you’ll never see the whole picture. In reality, iodine can a
Picture this: 83 graduate-level students, scattered across two universities, are all enrolled in different behavioral health programs. These include clinical mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy, psychiatric nursing, and social work. They all have one major thing in common these day
Even with robust efforts to improve healthcare quality, learning from patient safety incidents stays tough. A recent study took a look at the social, political, and organizational factors that make learning from these incidents so tricky. It's not just about fixing mistakes; it's about understanding
