Supporting vision-language model few-shot inference with confounder-pruned knowledge prompt.

Vision-language models are pre-trained by aligning image-text pairs in a common space to deal with open-set visual concepts. Recent works adopt fixed or learnable prompts, i.e.

Expressed emotion mediates the association between caregiver relationship closeness and psychological symptoms in people with dementia.

Aim: This study examines whether expressed emotion (EE) mediates the association between caregiver relationship closeness and behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD).

Methods: We recruited 64 families with dementia in Osaka and collected data for 3 months. Caregiver-patient relationship closeness was assessed using the Relationship Closeness Scale (RCS), and BPSD was measured with the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q).

Zebrafish modeling of atypical PML-RARA isoform from acute promyelocytic leukemia patient and its implications for clinical treatment.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is driven by the specific fusion gene PML-RARA produced by chromosomal translocation. Three classic isoforms, L, V, and S, are found in more than 95% of APL patients. However, atypical PML-RARA isoforms are usually associated with uncertain disease progression and treatment prognosis.

Prenatal diagnosis and treatment of fetal intestinal volvulus: A case report.

Rationale: Fetal intestinal volvulus, a rare and severe disorder, poses significant diagnostic challenges prenatally and can lead to intrauterine death or adverse neonatal outcomes if untreated in a timely manner. This study reports a case of fetal intestinal volvulus confirmed postoperatively, providing insights into its clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes, thereby enhancing understanding of this rare condition.

Patient Concerns: A Chinese gravida 2, para 1 female presented at 32 weeks and 5 days of gestation with decreased fetal movements.

Baseline characteristics of patients in the Chinese Bronchiectasis Registry (BE-China): a multicentre prospective cohort study.

Background: Bronchiectasis is a disease with a global impact, but most published data come from high-income countries. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with bronchiectasis in China.

Methods: The Chinese Bronchiectasis Registry (BE-China) is a prospective, observational cohort enrolling patients from 111 hospitals in China.
