Speaking Patient's Language: Assessment of Readability and Fidelity of Artificial Intelligence-Optimized Consent Forms.

The Journal of surgical research Apr 15, 2026

INTRODUCTION: Informed consent requires patients to fully comprehend the risks, benefits, and alternatives of an intervention. The American Medical Association and the National Institutes of Health recommend patient-facing materials be written at a s... read more

Machine learning-driven source apportionment and health risk assessment of multi-source groundwater pollution in highly permeable aquifers: A case study in Southwest China.

Journal of environmental management Apr 15, 2026

Industrial expansion releases multiple pollutants into groundwater, whose migration in highly permeable aquifers is governed by rapid flow through coarse sediments or fractured bedrock. This dynamic flow disperses and blends contaminant plumes from d... read more

A tri-modal contrastive learning framework for protein representation learning.

Cell reports methods Apr 15, 2026

Protein foundation models, particularly protein language models, have shown strong success in learning meaningful protein representations using transformer architectures pretrained on large-scale datasets through self-supervised learning. These repre... read more

Lower pre-treatment TMS-evoked cortical reactivity and alpha-band oscillatory dynamics predict efficacy of primary motor cortex neuromodulation for chronic pain.

NeuroImage Apr 15, 2026

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the primary motor cortex (M1) provides significant pain relief in ∼45% of chronic pain patients. Identifying biomarkers that predict treatment response before starting rTMS is essential for guidi... read more

AI-enabled autonomous UV-C device pathogen reduction within clinically relevant parameters.

American journal of infection control Apr 15, 2026

Wall-mounted UV-C disinfection systems present a promising alternative to robotic approaches for pathogen reduction. We sought to determine the pathogen-reduction efficacy of such devices when operated at a distance, mimicking real-world applications... read more

Likelihood-free parameter inference for spatiotemporal stochastic biological models using neural posterior estimation.

Journal of theoretical biology Apr 15, 2026

Cell migration is a key biological process underlying wound healing, tissue development, and cancer metastasis, yet calibrating mathematical models of migration to experimental data remains a major challenge. Scratch and barrier assays are widely use... read more

Classification and stratification of patient pain archetypes following total knee arthroplasty: a machine learning approach.

Regional anesthesia and pain medicine Apr 15, 2026

BACKGROUND: Up to 20% of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients experience significant postoperative pain that delays recovery and increases risk of chronic pain. Early identification of high-risk patients may allow for timely targeted interventions.... read more

Evaluating the performance of large language models versus prosthodontic residents on the 2024 and 2025 National Prosthodontic Resident Examination.

The Journal of prosthetic dentistry Apr 15, 2026

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) offer expanded reasoning, multimodal processing, and improved factual grounding. However, their performance relative to prosthodontic residents remains unknown, and comparisons... read more

Whither symbols in the era of advanced neural networks?

Trends in cognitive sciences Apr 15, 2026

Some of the strongest evidence that human minds should be thought of in terms of symbolic systems has been the way they combine ideas, produce novelty, and learn quickly. We argue that modern neural networks-and the artificial intelligence systems bu... read more

Ethical Considerations for Artificial Intelligence Tools in Small Animal Veterinary Medicine.

The Veterinary clinics of North America. Small animal practice Apr 15, 2026

As veterinary artificial intelligence (AI) tools become more available, it is vital to ensure that they genuinely promote patient well-being and avoid harm. This article examines the ethics of AI in small animal veterinary medicine, considering both ... read more
