Consensus Statement on Vitamin D Status Assessment and Supplementation: Whys, Whens, and Hows
Endocr Rev. 2024 Apr 27:bnae009. doi: 10.1210/endrev/bnae009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 6th International Conference, "Controversies in Vitamin D," was convened to discuss controversial topics, such as vitamin D metabolism, assessment, actions, and supplementation. Novel insights into vitamin D mechanisms of action suggest links with conditions that do not depend only on reduced solar exposure or diet intake and that can be detected with distinctive noncanonical vitamin D metabolites. Optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels remain debated. Varying recommendations from different societies arise from evaluating ...

Attitudes and beliefs regarding Pain Medicine: results of a national palliative physician survey
CONCLUSION: This study shows that Palliative Care physicians have highly positive attitudes toward Pain Medicine specialists, but referrals remain low. Facilitating professional collaboration via joint educational/clinical sessions is one possible solution to drive ongoing interprofessional care in patients with complex pain.PMID:38677489 | DOI:10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2024.04.015 (Source: Pain Physician)

Incremental Learning for Heterogeneous Structure Segmentation in Brain Tumor MRI
Med Image Comput Comput Assist Interv. 2023 Oct;14221:46-56. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-43895-0_5. Epub 2023 Oct 1.ABSTRACTDeep learning (DL) models for segmenting various anatomical structures have achieved great success via a static DL model that is trained in a single source domain. Yet, the static DL model is likely to perform poorly in a continually evolving environment, requiring appropriate model updates. In an incremental learning setting, we would expect that well-trained static models are updated, following continually evolving target domain data-e.g., additional lesions or structures of interest-collected from diffe...
