Bias in Cohort Studies: The Critical Importance of the “Why” and “When” of Treatment Decisions
When it comes to high-quality, rigorous research, children generally get the short end of the stick. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)—the “gold standard” for clinical research1—are rare in this population.2 RCTs are expensive, time-consuming, and often fraught with ethical con...

Contrary to the current guidelines, pregnant patients with moderate to severe acute cholecystitis (AC) often avoid surgery due to concerns of the potential maternal and fetal risks. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) can serve as an alternative to emergent cho...

Geometry-guided 3D Gaussian Splatting
This study proposes a novel 3D Gaussian splatting framework that maximizes the stability of scene reconstruction by integrating metric depth priors from UniDepthV2. While recent Gaussian Splatting-based techniques like self-supervised pose-free 3D Gaussian splatting (SPFSplat) ha...

Integrated inference of cellular compositions and gene expression programs by deconvolution
While computational deconvolution is routinely used to estimate cell-type proportions from tissue mixtures, reconstructing cell-type-specific transcriptomes at single-sample resolution remains a fundamentally underdetermined algorithmic challenge. Consequently, accurate single-sa...

Research on intelligent content generation and adaptive presentation in virtual simulation scenarios
Virtual simulation technologies have become indispensable in education, medical training, psychological therapy, and industrial applications. However, traditional virtual systems rely heavily on static pre-designed content and simple rule-based adaptations, resulting in limited p...
