Background: Identifying hate speech (HS) is a central concern within online contexts. Current methods are insufficient for efficient preemptive HS identification. In this study, we present the results of an analysis of automatic HS identification applied to popular alt-right YouTube videos.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between neurovascular indices and cognitive changes after CEA.
Methods: We studied 55 patients with severe (≥70%) symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis before and six months after CEA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore how recent stressful life events impact fatigue and depressive symptoms in patients with mild traumatic brain injury compared to those with lower extremity orthopedic injuries.
- - Data was collected from 99 patients with mild traumatic brain injury and 34 with orthopedic injuries, focusing on stressful events in the past year, fatigue levels, and depressive symptoms three months after their injuries.
- - Results showed that while both groups experienced a similar number of stressful events, there was a significant correlation between the number of recent stressful events and increased fatigue and depressive symptoms in the mild traumatic brain injury group, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in patient care.
Objective: Increasing evidence shows that traditional neuropsychological tests are insensitive for detecting mild unilateral spatial neglect (USN), lack ecological validity, and are unable to clarify USN in all different spatial domains. Here we present a new, fully immersive virtual reality (VR) task battery with integrated eye tracking for mild visual USN and extinction assessment in the acute state of stroke to overthrow these limitations.
Methods: We included 11 right-sided stroke patients and 10 healthy controls aged 18-75 years.
Intelligent digital tools for screening of brain connectivity and dementia risk estimation in people affected by mild cognitive impairment: the AI-Mind clinical study protocol.

More than 10 million Europeans show signs of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a transitional stage between normal brain aging and dementia stage memory disorder. The path MCI takes can be divergent; while some maintain stability or even revert to cognitive norms, alarmingly, up to half of the cases progress to dementia within 5 years. Current diagnostic practice lacks the necessary screening tools to identify those at risk of progression.
