Ai-generated personalized informed consent for elective spinal surgery: a comparative study using retrieval-augmented generation.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia May 6, 2026

BACKGROUND: Informed consent (IC) documents in spine surgery frequently lack procedure-specific risk data, quantitative complication rates, and discussion of alternative treatments. These deficiencies impair patient comprehension and constitute a lea... read more

Knowledge and Awareness of Performance Metrics in Dental Image Analysis With Artificial Intelligence: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Researchers and Clinicians.

International dental journal May 6, 2026

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: Appropriate performance metrics are essential for evaluating machine learning (ML) algorithm performance in dental image analysis. A broad variety of performance metrics are used in dental artificial intelligence (AI) research w... read more

Enhancing precision nitrogen management in corn through integration of soil properties and remote sensing: A mechanistic approach.

The Science of the total environment May 6, 2026

Sustainable intensification of agriculture requires optimizing nitrogen (N) use efficiency while maintaining crop productivity. However, the complex interactions between soil properties, N management, and crop response limit our ability to develop pr... read more

The negative sigmoid loss for controlling false positive rate in osteolytic lesion segmentation.

Computers in biology and medicine May 6, 2026

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignancy that is commonly associated with the development of osteolytic lesions. To support MM diagnosis, low-dose Computed Tomography (CT) is commonly used for lesion localization, but manually evaluating CT scans can be... read more

Experiences and challenges in implant based breast reconstruction decision making among young breast cancer patients: A qualitative study.

Acta psychologica May 6, 2026

OBJECTIVES: To explore the in-depth experiences, psychological conflicts, and coping strategies of young breast cancer patients regarding the Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction (IBBR) decision-making process. METHODS: This study used a descriptive d... read more

Disentangled generative uncertainty-aware multi-modal diffusion segmentation of medical images.

Medical image analysis May 6, 2026

The full clinical integration of deep learning models for medical image segmentation is significantly impeded by their inherent lack of transparency and explicit uncertainty quantification (UQ). In high-stakes medical contexts, clinicians demand not ... read more

Deciphering spatial-temporal mechanisms of PD-1 blockade resistance via biologically informed machine learning.

International immunopharmacology May 6, 2026

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), especially PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, have transformed cancer therapy; yet objective response rates to anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy remain ∼20-30% and resistance is common. Meanwhile, multi-omics, spatial profiling, imaging... read more

Marine pollution bulletin May 6, 2026

Marine plastic pollution poses significant ecological, economic, and social challenges, requiring innovative monitoring and identification solutions to support effective mitigation and management strategies. Hyperspectral imaging and artificial intel... read more

Boundary-aware dual-attention U-Net for multi-class oil spill segmentation in SAR imagery.

Marine pollution bulletin May 6, 2026

Oil spills pose serious environmental risks, hence accurate and rapid detection is critical for marine monitoring. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is commonly utilized for oil spill detection due to its all-weather, day-and-night imaging capac... read more

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling of POU5F1 in Lung Adenocarcinoma: Dynamics, spatial niche, and prognosis via multi-algorithm ML.

Translational oncology May 6, 2026

BACKGROUND: POU5F1 (OCT4), a core regulator of pluripotency, plays an important role in tumor stemness and immune microenvironment remodeling, yet its systematic function and mechanisms in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remain incompletely elucidated. ME... read more
