ASCO26: AZ triplet makes waves in frontline liver cancer
EMERALD-3 suggests a triplet regimen based on AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi and Imjudo could be practice-changing as a frontline hepatocellular carcinoma.
Eisai whips up Alzheimer’s dietary guidance to expand nutrition program beyond cancer
Eisai has partnered with CaringKind to expand its nutrition support initiative to cover Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
The economics of digitally integrated wellness services in heritage regions
Wellness tourism is among the fastest-growing segments of the global health economy, yet its development in Central Asian heritage regions remains constrained by fragmented service delivery, limited digital infrastructure, and a shortage of evidence-based planning tools. In this Perspective, we argue that advancing wellness tourism in such regions requires coupling econometric diagnosis of revenue drivers […]
Screening anxiety via contrastive autobiographical recall
IntroductionLanguage offers a low-burden and scalable pathway for digital anxiety screening, particularly in telehealth or repeated-monitoring settings where spontaneous speech may already be available. This study introduces a contrastive autobiographical recall framework that uses short positive and negative personal memories to capture within person affective shifts in language. By modelling how the same individual expresses […]
Digital first primary care in NHS England: evaluating alignment with patient-centered care and implications for future practice
The Digital First Primary Care (DFPC) model, introduced by NHS England, aims to enhance healthcare accessibility and efficiency by leveraging digital tools such as telemedicine, digital triage, and virtual consultations. In this structured narrative review, we synthesized UK-focused empirical, policy, and implementation literature to examine DFPC through the patient-centered care (PCC) domains of access, autonomy, […]
Paradoxical noise preference in RNNs
arXiv:2601.04539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recurrent neural networks (RNNs) used to model biological neural networks, noise is typically introduced during training to emulate biological variability and regularize learning. The expectation is that removing the noise at test time should preserve or improve performance. Contrary to this intuition, we find that continuous-time RNNs (CTRNNs) often […]
Automatically Differentiable Nonlinear Tensor Networks (ADNTNs) for Exponential Compression of Deep Neural Networks
arXiv:2606.00130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study Automatically Differentiable Nonlinear Tensor Networks (ADNTNs), a family of structured weight generators whose compact core tensors are trained end-to-end by reverse-mode automatic differentiation (AD). The approach can be viewed as a natural extension of low-rank adaptation and tensor factorisation: instead of using one low-rank matrix update, an ADNTN […]
AI-IoT-Robotics Integration: Survey of Frameworks, Emerging Trends, and the Path Toward Connected Robotics
arXiv:2606.01015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The convergence of Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Robotics is no longer a futuristic vision; it is rapidly becoming the foundation of real-time, intelligent, and context-aware systems. AI enables perception and reasoning, IoT provides scalable sensing and communication, and robotics delivers embodied actuation. Despite significant progress in pairwise […]
