Large language models are powerful electronic health record encoders
Abstract Electronic health records (EHRs) offer considerable potential for clinical prediction, but their complexity and heterogeneity challenge traditional machine learning. Domain-specific electronic health record foundation models trained on unlabeled EHR data have shown improved predictive accuracy and generalization. However, their development is constrained by limited data access and site-specific vocabularies.
Benchmark evaluation of DeepSeek large language models in clinical decision-making - Nature Medicine
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly transforming medical applications. However, proprietary models such as GPT-4o face significant barriers to clinical adoption because they cannot be deployed on site within healthcare institutions, making them noncompliant with stringent privacy regulations.
Author Correction: Medical history predicts phenome-wide disease onset and enables the rapid response to emerging health threats - Nature Communications
Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-55879-x, published online 10 January 2025 The authors wish to clarify that this article1 is a revised version of a retracted article2 and has undergone peer review. References Steinfeldt, J., Wild, B., Buergel, T. et al. Medical history predicts phenome-wide disease onset and enables the rapid response to emerging health threats.

Medical history predicts phenome-wide disease onset and enables the rapid response to emerging health threats - Nature Communications
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a global deficiency of systematic, data-driven guidance to identify high-risk individuals. Here, we illustrate the utility of routinely recorded medical history to predict the risk for 1741 diseases across clinical specialties and support the rapid response to emerging health threats such as COVID-19. We developed a neural network to learn from health records of 502,489 UK Biobank participants.
How the fashion industry is using its cultural clout in the US election - and why it matters
By Benjamin Wild, Reader in Fashion Narratives, Manchester Metropolitan University The fashion industry is mobilising its marketing machine to encourage Americans to vote in November’s presidential election, and it’s clear they want Kamala Harris to win. The industry’s intervention in the race to the White House has increased since 2016, when US Vogue endorsed Hilary Clinton. This was the first time in its 100-year history that the fashion bible had put its weight behind a presidential candidate.

Collective flow of circadian clock information in honeybee colonies
Abstract Honeybee colonies exhibit a collective circadian rhythm reflecting the periodic dynamics of the environment. Thousands of workers, including those engaged in in-hive tasks, must synchronize in various processes that may be rhythmic, such as nectar inflows, or non-rhythmic, such as brood care but it remains unknown how those different rhythms are integrated into a colony-level circadian rhythm.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a global deficiency of systematic, data-driven guidance to identify high-risk individuals. Here, we illustrate the utility of routinely recorded medical history to predict the risk for 1883 diseases across clinical specialties and support the rapid response to emerging health threats such as COVID-19. We developed a neural network to learn from health records of 502,460 UK Biobank.
Detecting change in graffiti using a hybrid framework
INTRODUCTION Contemporary graffiti and the graffiti-scapes they constitute are inherently dynamic, both spatially and temporally. Once a graffito is created, it is often subject to fast removal by authorities or other graffitists who remove the earlier work(s) or cover it with their creation(s). Suppose one belongs to the constantly growing number of scholars who classify present-day graffiti as cultural heritage (e.g., Forster et al., 2012; Ronchi, 2009; Verhoeven, Carloni, et al., 2023).
Fashion needs stronger storytelling that is more inclusive, relevant and responsible
The fashion industry could not exist without storytelling. Compelling and aspirational stories conveyed through catwalks, campaigns and social media are the stuff that make garments fashionable, fostering a strong desire to be seen wearing them. Fashion’s stories can spread positive messaging about issues that affect us all. In 2020, Stella McCartney’s Paris show featured models wearing cartoonish animal costumes.

Metabolomic profiles predict individual multidisease outcomes - Nature Medicine
Abstract Risk stratification is critical for the early identification of high-risk individuals and disease prevention. Here we explored the potential of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-derived metabolomic profiles to inform on multidisease risk beyond conventional clinical predictors for the onset of 24 common conditions, including metabolic, vascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and neurological diseases and cancers.
Paxlovid Patent Landscape
Jump to section Background Pfizer’s investigational COVID-19 treatment, Paxlovid, is a combination of a new compound, nirmatrelvir (“PF-07321332”), and an old drug, ritonavir.

Social networks predict the life and death of honey bees
Abstract In complex societies, individuals’ roles are reflected by interactions with other conspecifics. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) generally change tasks as they age, but developmental trajectories of individuals can vary drastically due to physiological and environmental factors. We introduce a succinct descriptor of an individual’s social network that can be obtained without interfering with the colony.
The fascinating origins of Lady Gaga’s mask at the VMAs
Before a bruise-colored backdrop, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande performed a medley of “Chromatica II” and “Rain on Me” at MTV’s recent Video Music Awards (VMAs). Gyrating in purple and black, the singers’ costumes were distinctive for including face masks. Gaga’s mouth covering, possibly inspired by the breathing apparatus of Darth Vader or Batman villain Bane, featured an animated wavelength.
