We dispute Henrich et al.'s analysis of cultural differences at the level of a narrow behavioral-expression for assessing a universalist argument. When Researchers Overlook uNderlying Genotypes (WRONG), they fail to detect universal processes that generate observed differences in expression. We reify this position with our own cross-cultural research on self-enhancement and self-esteem.

CLEFT: Language-Image Contrastive Learning with Efficient Large Language Model and Prompt Fine-Tuning.

Med Image Comput Comput Assist Interv

October 2024

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.

Recent advancements in Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) [21] have demonstrated notable success in self-supervised representation learning across various tasks. However, the existing CLIP-like approaches often demand extensive GPU resources and prolonged training times due to the considerable size of the model and dataset, making them poor for medical applications, in which large datasets are not always common. Meanwhile, the language model prompts are mainly manually derived from labels tied to images, potentially overlooking the richness of information within training samples.

Background: In the postoperative period of cardiac surgical procedure, there is an imbalance in the ratio of oxygen supply to oxygen consumption that leads to organic dysfunction and death. There is evidence of microcirculation involvement in cardiac surgical procedure, and a dysregulated inflammatory response similar to sepsis can occur.

Methods: We present a cohort of 280 consecutive adults who were monitored in the postoperative period after cardiac surgical procedure.

Is the Timing of Eating Relevant for Weight Loss?

Proc Nutr Soc

January 2025

Department of Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Science, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey GU2 7XH, United Kingdom.

The potential influence of the timing of eating on body weight regulation in humans has attracted substantial research interest. This review aims to critically evaluate the evidence on timed eating for weight loss, considering energetic and behavioural components to the timing of eating in humans. It has been hypothesised that timed eating interventions may alter energy balance in favour of weight loss by enhancing energy expenditure, specifically the thermic effect of food.

Taking pleasure seriously: Should alcohol research say more about fun?

Addiction

January 2025

Centre for Alcohol and Drug Research, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.

Background: This paper invites discussion on whether pleasure should receive more attention in public health-oriented research on alcohol. While there is a history of sociological and anthropological literature exploring alcohol and pleasure, this is much less common in public health-oriented alcohol research, and associated advocacy.

Argument: We propose three broad reasons why more extensive engagement with issues of pleasure may be important for public health-oriented research.
