The adoption of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare demands a careful analysis of their potential to spread false medical knowledge. Because LLMs ingest massive volumes of data from the open Internet during training, they are potentially exposed to unverified medical knowledge that may include deliberately planted misinformation. Here, we perform a threat assessment that simulates a data-poisoning attack against The Pile, a popular dataset used for LLM development.

Objective: Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are recognized to have a pivotal role in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we assessed the vascular function of women with RPL and examined the association with each type of aPL.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 569 women with RPL and 55 healthy women who had never experienced pregnancy loss were recruited.

Background: Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) offers good cosmetic outcomes with minimal pain for the treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). Moreover, the early removal of postoperative chest drains reduces postoperative pain and hospitalization duration for patients with PSP. We aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of drainless U-VATS in patients with PSP and compare postoperative outcomes between specialists and residents.

Article Synopsis
  • A study investigated the effects of low-dose aspirin (LDA) and heparin on pregnancy outcomes in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) who tested positive for anti-β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) antibodies.
  • Researchers followed 462 women with RPL, ultimately analyzing 47 pregnancies, comparing outcomes for those treated with LDA/heparin versus those who were not.
  • Results showed that the treatment group had a significantly higher live birth rate (87.2%) and lower pregnancy complication rates (5.9%) compared to the non-treatment group (50.0% live births, 50.0% complications).
