Using Large Language Models to Assess Public Perceptions Around Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Social Media

In the global context, the prevalence of obesity is on the rise, bringing significant impacts to public health. Obesity is independently associated with the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases, with an estimated economic burden exceeding $200 billion annually for healthcare systems. In recent years, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) re...

Cell Type Mapping of Inflammatory Muscle Diseases Highlights Selective Myofiber Vulnerability in Inclusion Body Myositis

Characterization of Heterogeneity in Muscle Fiber Types and Selective Susceptibility in Inclusion Body Myositis With advancing age, the incidence of inflammatory myopathies gradually increases, among which inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common type, currently lacking effective treatment methods. Unlike other inflammatory myopathies, IBM ...

Investigating Useful Features for Overall Survival Prediction in Patients with Low-Grade Glioma Using Histology Slides

Useful Features for Overall Survival Prediction in Low-Grade Glioma Patients Academic Background Glioma is a type of neoplastic growth in the brain that usually poses a serious threat to the patients’ lives. In most cases, glioma eventually leads to the death of the patient. The analysis of glioma typically involves examining pathological slices of...
