  • How Large Language Models Aid Diagnosis of Rare Hematologic Diseases and Influence Physician Decision-Making

    How Large Language Models Aid Diagnosis of Rare Hematologic Diseases and Influence Physician Decision-Making

    Introduction: Leveraging AI to tackle rare hematologic diseases Rare diseases pose substantial diagnostic challenges due to their low prevalence, diverse presentations, and often multisystem involvement. This study investigates how large language models (LLMs), especially new-generation transformers with chain-of-thought (CoT) capabilities, perform in diagnosing rare hematologic diseases and how their outputs shape physician decision-making in real-world…

  • AI in Rare Hematologic Diagnosis: How Large Language Models Perform and Shape Physician Decision-Making

    AI in Rare Hematologic Diagnosis: How Large Language Models Perform and Shape Physician Decision-Making

    Overview Advances in large language models (LLMs) are reshaping how clinicians approach rare hematologic diseases. A combined retrospective and prospective study from a Chinese medical center evaluated the diagnostic performance of seven publicly available LLMs—some with chain-of-thought (CoT) capabilities—using deidentified admission records. The study also tested whether presenting the models’ outputs to physicians could improve…

  • Unpacking the black box of AI: Explainable AI in cancer detection with Dr. Sakib Mostafa

    Unpacking the black box of AI: Explainable AI in cancer detection with Dr. Sakib Mostafa

    Understanding the black box: why explainable AI matters Artificial intelligence has advanced rapidly, but one of its most consequential challenges remains the so-called “black box” problem. Dr. Sakib Mostafa, a Bangladeshi-Canadian researcher, frames this not as a sci‑fi nightmare but as a practical hurdle: the results that AI models produce can be correct yet inexplicable.…

  • AI, Omics, and Systems Biology: A New Era for Heart Drug Discovery

    AI, Omics, and Systems Biology: A New Era for Heart Drug Discovery

    Reinventing Heart Drug Discovery with AI and Omics Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the world’s leading cause of death, despite decades of medical advances. A new perspective from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School argues that the future of heart drug development lies in an integrated, data-driven framework. By combining artificial intelligence (AI), omics…
