AI Article Synopsis

  • Kapadia et al. created a digital quality measure to identify emergency cases of newly diagnosed cancers, showing links to missed diagnosis opportunities and higher one-year mortality.
  • Their research emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to cancer care that improves early detection, recognition of symptoms, and faster diagnostic processes.
  • They advocate for enhanced support throughout the care continuum, focusing on consistent care and better symptom management for patients who present with cancer emergencies.

Article Abstract

In the article that accompanies this editorial, Kapadia et al. developed a digital quality measure to identify emergency presentations of incident cancers, a measure they found to associated with both antecedent missed opportunities for diagnosis and subsequent 1-year all-cause mortality. Their work highlights the need for a cancer control continuum that includes, not only improved early detection, but also improved symptom recognition, expedited diagnostic work-up, and increased downstream support, including multilevel interventions focused on care continuity and symptom management for these patients with emergency presentations of cancer to improve cancer outcomes.

Background: The increasing use of social media to share lived and living experiences of substance use presents a unique opportunity to obtain information on side effects, use patterns, and opinions on novel psychoactive substances. However, due to the large volume of data, obtaining useful insights through natural language processing technologies such as large language models is challenging.

Objective: This paper aims to develop a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architecture for medical question answering pertaining to clinicians' queries on emerging issues associated with health-related topics, using user-generated medical information on social media.

MYCN-amplified spinal ependymomas: a rare aggressive subtype. Illustrative cases.

J Neurosurg Case Lessons

January 2025

Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, University of California, San Francisco, California.

Background: Spinal ependymomas are typically slow-growing tumors with a favorable prognosis. Recently, a new aggressive subtype has emerged with its own distinct histopathological and molecular features characterized by MYCN amplification. However, this subtype of spinal ependymoma is rare, and studies on its imaging characteristics are limited.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality of graduate medical education (GME) training across the United States. Central to the success of this mission are designated institutional officials (DIOs), who usually serve as chief GME officers within the ACGME-accredited sponsoring institutions (SIs). Despite the critical role of DIOs, the qualifications, level of administrative support, and responsibilities of DIOs are not defined and vary significantly among SIs.

Benchmark of Density Functional Theory in the Prediction of C Chemical Shielding Anisotropies for Anisotropic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Based Structural Elucidation.

J Chem Theory Comput

Research Unit of Structural Chemistry & Computational Biophysics, Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie, Berlin 13125, Germany.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have emerged as a powerful theoretical toolbox for interpreting and analyzing the experimental nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of chemical compounds. While DFT has been extensively used and benchmarked for isotropic NMR observables, the evaluation of the full chemical shielding tensor, which is necessary for interpreting residual chemical shift anisotropy (RCSA), has received much less attention, despite its recent applications in the structural elucidation of organic molecules. In this study, we present a comprehensive benchmark of carbon shielding anisotropies based on coupled cluster reference tensors taken from the NS372 benchmark data set.

Solar-Driven Nanofluidic Ion Regulation for Fractional Salt Crystallization and Reutilization.

ACS Nano

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Drinking Water Science and Technology, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100085, China.

Solar water evaporation (SWE) has emerged as an appealing method for water and salt recovery from hypersaline wastewater. However, different ions usually transfer and accumulate uncontrollably during ion-water separation, making salt fractionalization impractical for conventional SWE, and the resulting mixed salts are hard to use and still require significant costs for disposal. To achieve salt fractionalization and reutilization, achieving ion-water and ion-ion separation simultaneously are crucial in advancing SWE toward sustainability.
