Published: February 2018

Chinese Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) contains a large number of complex medical free text which includes a variety of information, such as temporal information, patients' symptoms and laboratory data. However, as an important knowledge base, these unstructured text data in EMR are hard to process directly by computer to support further medical research. This paper proposes a novel text structuring method to extract knowledge from EMR texts and reorganize them in chronological order according to the temporal information in the text. By implementing some entropy-based algorithms as contrast, experiments evaluate the performance of the proposed method, which indicates the new method can significantly reduce the complexity of EMR text. This work is significant in structuring the EMR free text into temporal-structured data for further medical analysis.

Introduction: Behaviour change interventions have the potential to improve sanitation and hygiene practices in urban settings. However, evidence on which behaviour change interventions have successfully improved sanitation and hygiene practices in urban settings is unclear.

Methods: We performed electronic searches across five databases and one grey literature database to identify relevant studies published between January 1, 1990 and November 20, 2023 in English.

Objective: Neurocognitive underpinnings are implicated in the aetiology and maintenance of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD); however, inconsistent findings across a range of neurocognitive domains suggest that a comprehensive synthesis of the literature using a hierarchical framework of neurocognition is needed.

Methods: A final search across OVID Medline, PsycNET, Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted on 20 June 2024 to identify research that examined performance on behavioural tasks of objective neurocognition in BDD. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and LLaMA have shown significant potential in medical applications, but their effectiveness is limited by a lack of specialized medical knowledge due to general-domain training. In this study, we developed Me-LLaMA, a new family of open-source medical LLMs that uniquely integrate extensive domain-specific knowledge with robust instruction-following capabilities. Me-LLaMA comprises foundation models (Me-LLaMA 13B and 70B) and their chat-enhanced versions, developed through comprehensive continual pretraining and instruction tuning of LLaMA2 models using both biomedical literature and clinical notes.

Unlabelled: Social cognition spans from perceiving agents and their interactions to making inferences based on theory of mind (ToM). Despite their frequent co-occurrence in real life, the commonality and distinction between social interaction perception and ToM at behavioral and neural levels remain unclear. Here, participants ( = 231) provided moment-by-moment ratings of four text and four audio narratives on social interactions and ToM engagement.
