In busy clinical environments, educational opportunities must be designed to accommodate learner-specific needs. Many adult learners prefer short, relevant, technology-enhanced learning. As such, electronic learning (e-learning) experiences have become a prominent part of medical education. Yet, there remain challenges to e-learning experiences in the current educational landscape. To address these challenges, the authors developed the TinyTalks paradigm, which serves as the educational foundation for the TinyTalks curriculum...

Accurately diagnosing chronic kidney disease requires pathologists to assess the structure of multiple tissues under different stains, a process that is timeconsuming and labor-intensive. Current AI-based methods for automatic structure assessment, like segmentation, often demand extensive manual annotation and focus on single stain domain. To address these challenges, we introduce MSMTSeg, a generative self-supervised meta-learning framework for multi-stained multi-tissue segmentation in renal biopsy whole slide images (WSIs)...

Gaining practical experience is indispensable for medical students. Therefore, when medical students were prevented access to hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic in Romania, there was an urgent need to find a solution that would allow medical students to develop the skills they would usually develop in hospitals but without the need to be physically present in a hospital. This was the reason behind the idea of developing a Virtual Case Presentation Platform. The platform offers the possibility for medical students to reproduce virtually, in clinically valid scenarios, the diagnostic process and treatment recommendation, as well as the interactions with patients that usually take place in hospitals using natural language through speech and text...

A prevailing argument posits that distal landmarks dominate over proximal landmarks as orientation cues. However, no studies have tested this argument or examined the underlying mechanisms. This project aimed to close this gap by examining the roles of relative cue precision and prior knowledge in cue preference. Participants learned object locations with proximal and distal landmarks in an immersive virtual environment. After walking a path without seeing objects or landmarks, participants disoriented themselves by spinning in place and pointed to the objects with the reappearance of a proximal landmark being rotated -50°, a distal landmark being rotated 50°, or both (Conflict)...

BACKGROUND: An electronic health record (EHR) holds detailed longitudinal information about a patient's health status and general clinical history, a large portion of which is stored as unstructured, free text. Existing approaches to model a patient's trajectory focus mostly on structured data and a subset of single-domain outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Foresight, a generative transformer in temporal modelling of patient data, integrating both free text and structured formats, to predict a diverse array of future medical outcomes, such as disorders, substances (eg, to do with medicines, allergies, or poisonings), procedures, and findings (eg, relating to observations, judgements, or assessments)...

The process of virtual screening relies heavily on the databases, but it is disadvantageous to conduct virtual screening based on commercial databases with patent-protected compounds, high compound toxicity and side effects. Therefore, this paper utilizes generative recurrent neural networks (RNN) containing long short-term memory (LSTM) cells to learn the properties of drug compounds in the DrugBank, aiming to obtain a new and virtual screening compounds database with drug-like properties. Ultimately, a compounds database consisting of 26,316 compounds is obtained by this method...

The ocular surface inflammatory disorders (OSIDs) comprise a group of conditions characterized by persistent inflammation of the ocular surface and adnexal tissues. Systemic autoimmune diseases and hypersensitivity reactions cause them, and, if left untreated, can result in severe inflammatory dry eye, corneal damage, and vision loss. Ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) forms part of the ocular surface inflammatory disease umbrella. It is a condition occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplantation, usually in chronic graft-versus-host disease...
