Machine learning model as a useful tool for prediction of thyroid nodules histology, aggressiveness and treatment-related complications
Thyroid nodules are very common, 5-15% of which are malignant. Despite the low mortality rate of well-differentiated thyroid cancer, some variants may behave aggressively, making nodule differentiation mandatory. Ultrasound ...
Encorafenib and binimetinib followed by radiotherapy for patients with BRAFV600-mutant melanoma and brain metastases (E-BRAIN/GEM1802 phase II study)
Background: Encorafenib plus binimetinib (EB) is a standard-of-care treatment for advanced BRAFV600-mutant melanoma. We assessed the efficacy and safety of encorafenib plus binimetinib in patients with BRAFV600-mutant ...
Efficacy of lurasidone in first-episode psychosis: patient phenotypes, dosage, and recommendations from an expert panel
Introduction: For patients with psychosis, early, intensive therapeutic intervention is thought to improve long-term outcomes. Furthermore, patients with a first-episode psychosis (FEP) who experience a good early response ...
The IL-1ß inhibitor canakinumab in previously treated lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes: a phase 2 clinical trial

Political context of the European vaccine debate on Twitter
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, fears grew that making vaccination a political (instead of public health) issue may impact the efficacy of this life-saving intervention, spurring the spread of vaccine-hesitant ...
Charting mobility patterns in the scientific knowledge landscape
From small steps to great leaps, metaphors of spatial mobility abound to describe discovery processes. Here, we ground these ideas in formal terms by systematically studying mobility patterns in the scientific knowledge ...
No echo in the chambers of political interactions on Reddit
Echo chambers in online social networks, whereby users' beliefs are reinforced by interactions with like-minded peers and insulation from others' points of view, have been decried as a cause of political polarization. ...
