The majority of myasthenia gravis patients have detectable antibodies in their serum, targeting acetylcholine receptor, muscle-specific kinase, or related proteins. Current treatment for myasthenia gravis involves symptomatic therapy, immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil, and thymectomy, which is primarily indicated in patients with thymoma or thymic hyperplasia. However, this condition continues to pose significant challenges including an unpredictable and variable disease progression, differing response to individual therapies, and substantial longterm side effects associated with standard treatments(including an increased risk of infections, osteoporosis, and diabetes), underscoring the necessity for a more personalized approach to treatment. Furthermore, about fifteen percent of patients, called “refractory myasthenia gravis patients”, do not respond adequately to standard therapies. In this context, the introduction of molecular therapies has marked a significant advance in myasthenia gravis management. Advances in understanding myasthenia gravis pathogenesis, especially the role of pathogenic antibodies, have driven the development of these biological drugs, which offer more selective, rapid, and safer alternatives to traditional immunosuppressants. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging therapeutic strategies targeting specific immune pathways in myasthenia gravis, with a particular focus on preclinical evidence, therapeutic rationale, and clinical translation of B-cell depletion therapies, neonatal Fc receptor inhibitors, and complement inhibitors.展开更多

文摘Large language models(LLMs)have emerged as transformative tools in radiology artificial intelligence(AI),offering significant capabilities in areas such as image report generation,clinical decision support,and workflow optimization.The first part of this manuscript presents a comprehensive overview of the current state of LLM applications in radiology,including their historical evolution,technical foundations,and practical uses.Despite notable advances,inherent architectural constraints,such as token-level sequential processing,limit their ability to perform deep abstract reasoning and holistic contextual understanding,which are critical for fine-grained diagnostic interpretation.We provide a critical perspective on current LLMs and discuss key challenges,including model reliability,bias,and explainability,highlighting the pressing need for novel approaches to advance radiology AI.Large concept models(LCMs)represent a nascent and promising paradigm in radiology AI,designed to transcend the limitations of token-level processing by utilizing higher-order conceptual representations and multimodal data integration.The second part of this manuscript introduces the foundational principles and theoretical framework of LCMs,highlighting their potential to facilitate enhanced semantic reasoning,long-range context synthesis,and improved clinical decision-making.Critically,the core of this section is the proposal of a novel theoretical framework for LCMs,formalized and extended from our group’s foundational concept-based models-the world’s earliest articulation of this paradigm for medical AI.This conceptual shift has since been externally validated and propelled by the recent publication of the LCM architectural proposal by Meta AI,providing a large-scale engineering blueprint for the future development of this technology.We also outline future research directions and the transformative implications of this emerging AI paradigm for radiologic practice,aiming to provide a blueprint for advancing toward human-like conceptual understanding in AI.While challenges persist,we are at the very beginning of a new era,and it is not unreasonable to hope that future advancements will overcome these hurdles,pushing the boundaries of AI in Radiology,far beyond even the most state-of-the-art models of today.

文摘Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques offer promising therapeutic and regenerative prospects in neurological diseases by modulating brain activity and improving cognitive and motor functions.Given the paucity of knowledge about the underlying modes of action and optimal treatment modalities,a thorough translational investigation of noninvasive brain stimulation in preclinical animal models is urgently needed.Thus,we reviewed the current literature on the mechanistic underpinnings of noninvasive brain stimulation in models of central nervous system impairment,with a particular emphasis on traumatic brain injury and stroke.Due to the lack of translational models in most noninvasive brain stimulation techniques proposed,we found this review to the most relevant techniques used in humans,i.e.,transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation.We searched the literature in Pub Med,encompassing the MEDLINE and PMC databases,for studies published between January 1,2020 and September 30,2024.Thirty-five studies were eligible.Transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation demonstrated distinct strengths in augmenting rehabilitation post-stroke and traumatic brain injury,with emerging mechanistic evidence.Overall,we identified neuronal,inflammatory,microvascular,and apoptotic pathways highlighted in the literature.This review also highlights a lack of translational surrogate parameters to bridge the gap between preclinical findings and their clinical translation.

文摘The brain is the most complex human organ,and commonly used models,such as two-dimensional-cell cultures and animal brains,often lack the sophistication needed to accurately use in research.In this context,human cerebral organoids have emerged as valuable tools offering a more complex,versatile,and human-relevant system than traditional animal models,which are often unable to replicate the intricate architecture and functionality of the human brain.Since human cerebral organoids are a state-of-the-art model for the study of neurodevelopment and different pathologies affecting the brain,this field is currently under constant development,and work in this area is abundant.In this review,we give a complete overview of human cerebral organoids technology,starting from the different types of protocols that exist to generate different human cerebral organoids.We continue with the use of brain organoids for the study of brain pathologies,highlighting neurodevelopmental,psychiatric,neurodegenerative,brain tumor,and infectious diseases.Because of the potential value of human cerebral organoids,we describe their use in transplantation,drug screening,and toxicology assays.We also discuss the technologies available to study cell diversity and physiological characteristics of organoids.Finally,we summarize the limitations that currently exist in the field,such as the development of vasculature and microglia,and highlight some of the novel approaches being pursued through bioengineering.

文摘Background Cotton is one of the most important commercial crops after food crops,especially in countries like India,where it’s grown extensively under rainfed conditions.Because of its usage in multiple industries,such as textile,medicine,and automobile industries,it has greater commercial importance.The crop’s performance is greatly influenced by prevailing weather dynamics.As climate changes,assessing how weather changes affect crop performance is essential.Among various techniques that are available,crop models are the most effective and widely used tools for predicting yields.Results This study compares statistical and machine learning models to assess their ability to predict cotton yield across major producing districts of Karnataka,India,utilizing a long-term dataset spanning from 1990 to 2023 that includes yield and weather factors.The artificial neural networks(ANNs)performed superiorly with acceptable yield deviations ranging within±10%during both vegetative stage(F1)and mid stage(F2)for cotton.The model evaluation metrics such as root mean square error(RMSE),normalized root mean square error(nRMSE),and modelling efficiency(EF)were also within the acceptance limits in most districts.Furthermore,the tested ANN model was used to assess the importance of the dominant weather factors influencing crop yield in each district.Specifically,the use of morning relative humidity as an individual parameter and its interaction with maximum and minimum tempera-ture had a major influence on cotton yield in most of the yield predicted districts.These differences highlighted the differential interactions of weather factors in each district for cotton yield formation,highlighting individual response of each weather factor under different soils and management conditions over the major cotton growing districts of Karnataka.Conclusions Compared with statistical models,machine learning models such as ANNs proved higher efficiency in forecasting the cotton yield due to their ability to consider the interactive effects of weather factors on yield forma-tion at different growth stages.This highlights the best suitability of ANNs for yield forecasting in rainfed conditions and for the study on relative impacts of weather factors on yield.Thus,the study aims to provide valuable insights to support stakeholders in planning effective crop management strategies and formulating relevant policies.

文摘The application of generative artificial intelligence(AI)is bringing about notable changes in anime creation.This paper surveys recent advancements and applications of diffusion and language models in anime generation,focusing on their demonstrated potential to enhance production efficiency through automation and personalization.Despite these benefits,it is crucial to acknowledge the substantial initial computational investments required for training and deploying these models.We conduct an in-depth survey of cutting-edge generative AI technologies,encompassing models such as Stable Diffusion and GPT,and appraise pivotal large-scale datasets alongside quantifiable evaluation metrics.Review of the surveyed literature indicates the achievement of considerable maturity in the capacity of AI models to synthesize high-quality,aesthetically compelling anime visual images from textual prompts,alongside discernible progress in the generation of coherent narratives.However,achieving perfect long-form consistency,mitigating artifacts like flickering in video sequences,and enabling fine-grained artistic control remain critical ongoing challenges.Building upon these advancements,research efforts have increasingly pivoted towards the synthesis of higher-dimensional content,such as video and three-dimensional assets,with recent studies demonstrating significant progress in this burgeoning field.Nevertheless,formidable challenges endure amidst these advancements.Foremost among these are the substantial computational exigencies requisite for training and deploying these sophisticated models,particularly pronounced in the realm of high-dimensional generation such as video synthesis.Additional persistent hurdles include maintaining spatial-temporal consistency across complex scenes and mitigating ethical considerations surrounding bias and the preservation of human creative autonomy.This research underscores the transformative potential and inherent complexities of AI-driven synergy within the creative industries.We posit that future research should be dedicated to the synergistic fusion of diffusion and autoregressive models,the integration of multimodal inputs,and the balanced consideration of ethical implications,particularly regarding bias and the preservation of human creative autonomy,thereby establishing a robust foundation for the advancement of anime creation and the broader landscape of AI-driven content generation.

文摘Extracting data from visually rich documents and charts using traditional methods that rely on OCR-based parsing poses multiple challenges,including layout complexity in unstructured formats,limitations in recognizing visual elements,and the correlation between different parts of the documents,as well as domain-specific semantics.Simply extracting text is not sufficient;advanced reasoning capabilities are proving to be essential to analyze content and answer questions accurately.This paper aims to evaluate the ability of the Large Language Models(LLMs)to correctly answer questions about various types of charts,comparing their performance when using images as input versus directly parsing PDF files.To retrieve the images from the PDF,ColPali,a model leveraging state-of-the-art visual languagemodels,is used to identify the relevant page containing the appropriate chart for each question.Google’s Gemini multimodal models were used to answer a set of questions through two approaches:1)processing images derived from PDF documents and 2)directly utilizing the content of the same PDFs.Our findings underscore the limitations of traditional OCR-based approaches in visual document understanding(VrDU)and demonstrate the advantages of multimodal methods in both data extraction and reasoning tasks.Through structured benchmarking of chart question answering(CQA)across input formats,our work contributes to the advancement of chart understanding(CU)and the broader field of multimodal document analysis.Using two diverse and information-rich sources:the World Health Statistics 2024 report by theWorld Health Organisation and the Global Banking Annual Review 2024 by McKinsey&Company,we examine the performance ofmultimodal LLMs across different input modalities,comparing their effectiveness in processing charts as images versus parsing directly from PDF content.These documents were selected due to their multimodal nature,combining dense textual analysis with varied visual representations,thus presenting realistic challenges for vision-language models.This comparison is aimed at assessing how advanced models perform with different input formats and to determine if an image-based approach enhances chart comprehension in terms of accurate data extraction and reasoning capabilities.

文摘The unprecedented scale of large models,such as large language models(LLMs)and text-to-image diffusion models,has raised critical concerns about the unauthorized use of copyrighted data during model training.These concerns have spurred a growing demand for dataset copyright auditing techniques,which aim to detect and verify potential infringements in the training data of commercial AI systems.This paper presents a survey of existing auditing solutions,categorizing them across key dimensions:data modality,model training stage,data overlap scenarios,and model access levels.We highlight major trends,including the prevalence of black-box auditing methods and the emphasis on fine-tuning rather than pre-training.Through an in-depth analysis of 12 representative works,we extract four key observations that reveal the limitations of current methods.Furthermore,we identify three open challenges and propose future directions for robust,multimodal,and scalable auditing solutions.Our findings underscore the urgent need to establish standardized benchmarks and develop auditing frameworks that are resilient to low watermark densities and applicable in diverse deployment settings.
文摘In recent years,large vision-language models(VLMs)have achieved significant breakthroughs in cross-modal understanding and generation.However,the safety issues arising from their multimodal interactions become prominent.VLMs are vulnerable to jailbreak attacks,where attackers craft carefully designed prompts to bypass safety mechanisms,leading them to generate harmful content.To address this,we investigate the alignment between visual inputs and task execution,uncovering locality defects and attention biases in VLMs.Based on these findings,we propose VOTI,a novel jailbreak framework leveraging visual obfuscation and task induction.VOTI subtly embeds malicious keywords within neutral image layouts to evade detection,and breaks down harmful queries into a sequence of subtasks.This approach disperses malicious intent across modalities,exploiting VLMs’over-reliance on local visual cues and their fragility in multi-step reasoning to bypass global safety mechanisms.Implemented as an automated framework,VOTI integrates large language models as red-team assistants to generate and iteratively optimize jailbreak strategies.Extensive experiments across seven mainstream VLMs demonstrate VOTI’s effectiveness,achieving a 73.46%attack success rate on GPT-4o-mini.These results reveal critical vulnerabilities in VLMs,highlighting the urgent need for improving robust defenses and multimodal alignment.
文摘Sentiment analysis,a cornerstone of natural language processing,has witnessed remarkable advancements driven by deep learning models which demonstrated impressive accuracy in discerning sentiment from text across various domains.However,the deployment of such models in resource-constrained environments presents a unique set of challenges that require innovative solutions.Resource-constrained environments encompass scenarios where computing resources,memory,and energy availability are restricted.To empower sentiment analysis in resource-constrained environments,we address the crucial need by leveraging lightweight pre-trained models.These models,derived from popular architectures such as DistilBERT,MobileBERT,ALBERT,TinyBERT,ELECTRA,and SqueezeBERT,offer a promising solution to the resource limitations imposed by these environments.By distilling the knowledge from larger models into smaller ones and employing various optimization techniques,these lightweight models aim to strike a balance between performance and resource efficiency.This paper endeavors to explore the performance of multiple lightweight pre-trained models in sentiment analysis tasks specific to such environments and provide insights into their viability for practical deployment.

文摘Cyberbullying on social media poses significant psychological risks,yet most detection systems over-simplify the task by focusing on binary classification,ignoring nuanced categories like passive-aggressive remarks or indirect slurs.To address this gap,we propose a hybrid framework combining Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency(TF-IDF),word-to-vector(Word2Vec),and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)based models for multi-class cyberbullying detection.Our approach integrates TF-IDF for lexical specificity and Word2Vec for semantic relationships,fused with BERT’s contextual embeddings to capture syntactic and semantic complexities.We evaluate the framework on a publicly available dataset of 47,000 annotated social media posts across five cyberbullying categories:age,ethnicity,gender,religion,and indirect aggression.Among BERT variants tested,BERT Base Un-Cased achieved the highest performance with 93%accuracy(standard deviation across±1%5-fold cross-validation)and an average AUC of 0.96,outperforming standalone TF-IDF(78%)and Word2Vec(82%)models.Notably,it achieved near-perfect AUC scores(0.99)for age and ethnicity-based bullying.A comparative analysis with state-of-the-art benchmarks,including Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2(GPT-2)and Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer(T5)models highlights BERT’s superiority in handling ambiguous language.This work advances cyberbullying detection by demonstrating how hybrid feature extraction and transformer models improve multi-class classification,offering a scalable solution for moderating nuanced harmful content.
文摘We analyze the suitability of existing pre-trained transformer-based language models(PLMs)for abstractive text summarization on German technical healthcare texts.The study focuses on the multilingual capabilities of these models and their ability to perform the task of abstractive text summarization in the healthcare field.The research hypothesis was that large language models could perform high-quality abstractive text summarization on German technical healthcare texts,even if the model is not specifically trained in that language.Through experiments,the research questions explore the performance of transformer language models in dealing with complex syntax constructs,the difference in performance between models trained in English and German,and the impact of translating the source text to English before conducting the summarization.We conducted an evaluation of four PLMs(GPT-3,a translation-based approach also utilizing GPT-3,a German language Model,and a domain-specific bio-medical model approach).The evaluation considered the informativeness using 3 types of metrics based on Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation(ROUGE)and the quality of results which is manually evaluated considering 5 aspects.The results show that text summarization models could be used in the German healthcare domain and that domain-independent language models achieved the best results.The study proves that text summarization models can simplify the search for pre-existing German knowledge in various domains.
