Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of lithium-associated thyroid and parathyroid disorders in British Columbia, Canada, and determine physician approaches to screening and management. Retrospective data collection and surveys were conducted on patients with lithium levels measured at seven hospitals. Results showed a lower usage of biochemical screening for parathyroid disorders compared to thyroid disorders, highlighting the need for updated clinical guidelines.

Summary: This study used acoustic ultrasound interrogation and deformation measurements as supplementary battery monitoring methods during external overheating and external short-circuit safety tests of LG INR-18650 MJ1 (NMC 811-G-SiOx) Li-ion cells. The results showed that the strain gage signal can provide a rapid alert for battery safety breach by detecting an abrupt change in cell pressure. The thermal stability experiments revealed that the MJ1 technology is susceptible to self-heating by slow internal exothermic reactions starting above 60 degrees C, and thermal runaway occurs when the temperature exceeds 140 C. The extended monitoring of the cells with acoustic ultrasound interrogation data and signal mapping and clustering showed advantageous indication for early detection of slowly approaching battery safety breach events.

Summary: The past few decades have seen obesity become a major health problem, with obesity-related comorbidities having significant adverse effects on clinical outcomes and mortality. Bariatric surgery has proven to be an efficient weight loss strategy and has positive effects on obesity-related risk factors. The surgery leads to significant improvements in comorbidities and better clinical outcomes, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and mortality.

Summary: Breast cancer is a common and deadly disease, with obesity and hormonal changes being known risk factors. Adipokines, which are molecules related to fatty tissue, play a key role in these hormonal changes and have been linked to breast cancer development. This review aims to summarize the evidence and highlight the potential of adipokines as biomarkers, predictive indicators, and therapeutic targets for breast cancer.

Summary: Two methods have been used to investigate the stakes-sensitivity of knowledge in ordinary language: asking participants about the truth or acceptability of knowledge ascriptions, and asking participants how much evidence is needed before something is known. The evidence-seeking method consistently found effects of stakes-sensitivity, while the method of asking about knowledge ascriptions did not. In this study, the researchers found evidence of a stakes effect on knowledge using the evidence-seeking approach, but did not find evidence that changes in participant confidence mediate this effect.

Summary: To support evidence-based medicine, this paper proposes a topic-specific and fully automated framework that utilizes knowledge graphs (KGs) to curate information and create KGs for different clinical domains. By employing concept extraction, semantic enrichment, optimized clustering, and state-of-the-art RNNs, the framework categorizes PICO elements and predicts relationships using a large corpus of literature on COVID-19 and cerebral aneurysm. The evaluation results show a significant improvement over baseline models in PICO classification accuracy, achieving 93% and 82% accuracy on the aneurysm and COVID datasets, respectively. The relationship extraction module also achieves high accuracy, with precision and recall of 92% and 90%, respectively.

Summary: This study investigates the design and application of in-vehicle lighting systems through a global online survey. The results suggest that different colors, positions, and dynamic patterns have different effects on vehicle occupants. In terms of driving-signaling attention, Europeans have a preference for hue, while Chinese participants do not. In addition, lighting positioned at the door and foot area is more favored. Furthermore, men focus more on fast-forward, while women pay more attention to practicality. The findings highlight the need for further research to improve the adaptability and passenger satisfaction of lighting systems in the future.

Summary: Through a comprehensive analysis of available human, animal, and mechanistic data, it has been found that aspartame consumption is not carcinogenic in humans. Several authoritative bodies, including the World Health Organization, have reviewed studies and found no evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Mechanistic studies also show a lack of activity associated with carcinogenic characteristics.

Summary: Current and future healthcare professionals are generally not trained to cope with the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in healthcare. To address this, a core curriculum for AI education is outlined, emphasizing the links between AI and evidence-based medicine (EBM). Barriers to implementation, such as time, resources, variable interest, and knowledge retention, are also considered.
