Open source, lightweight and offline generative large language models (LLMs) hold promise for clinical information extraction due to their suitability to operate in secured environments using commodity hardware without token cost. By creating a simple lupus nephritis (LN) renal histopathology annotation schema and generating gold standard data, this study investigates prompt-based strategies using three state-of-the-art lightweight LLMs, namely BioMistral-DARE-7B (BioMistral), Llama-2-13B (Llama 2), and Mistral-7B-instruct-v0.2 (Mistral).

Methods: Diaphragm as surrogate for markers: a dome-shaped phantom with implanted markers was fabricated and underwent dual-orthogonal fluoroscopy sequences on the Vero4DRT linac. Ten patients participated in an IRB-approved, feasibility study to assess the MDTT workflow.
Article Synopsis
- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young adults under 40 may be linked to previously undiagnosed Kawasaki disease (KD) from childhood, with studies indicating a potential prevalence of 7.4% in patients with coronary aneurysms.
- A multicenter study in Taiwan reviewed records from 323 young adults who underwent coronary angiography, revealing that most patients with aneurysms were male and had higher LDL cholesterol levels.
- The findings suggest that higher incidence rates of KD in certain populations could correlate with increased cases of ACS in young adults, emphasizing the need for further research into the long-term cardiovascular effects of KD.
Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Tumour-infiltrating leukocytes play an important role in cancers, including CRC. We therefore sought to characterize the impact of tumour-infiltrating leukocytes on CRC prognosis.
