Do you ask AI for recommendations? 💊 🤖 A research team led by @OsakaMetUniv_en, in collaboration with @UTMDAnderson, asked five #LLMs to recommend up to three FDA-approved drug products for a range of scenarios. They found that the LLMs showed biases towards a limited number of products.

When people are excluded or denied full social acceptance because they are perceived as having a “lesser” status or value, they can often internalise these beliefs, known as self-stigma. @XJTLU researchers investigated this among #university students. They found that, over time, students with higher levels of #mindfulness had lower self-stigma and fewer depressive symptoms.🧘‍♀️☺️ 🔗asiaresearchnews.com/content… #MentalHealth #SocialPsychology

A new laser-powered technology rapidly gathers microscopic targets for faster, more sensitive and selective detection of #cancer. @OsakaMetUniv_en researchers were able to accelerate antibody–antigen interactions, detecting tiny amounts of a #ColorectalCancer biomarker within minutes. 🔗 asiaresearchnews.com/content… Published in Nanoscale Horizons journal @RoySocChem #RSCNano. #medicine #healthcare #chemistry #diseases #bioengineering #nanotechnology

🏃‍♂️🤖 A four-legged robot called RAIBO2 developed at @kaistpr completed a marathon on a single battery charge. Completing the event in 4 hours and 19 minutes alongside human runners, it has three times the travel range per charge of existing robots.

👴🏼 A study from @OsakaMetUniv_en found that older adults that need mild support benefited from community gathering spaces. Participants with mild disabilities had approximately US$1,177 lower annual care cost. Researchers suggest that these spaces are not merely venues for exercise but serve as valuable community resources that influence patterns of long-term care service. 🔗asiaresearchnews.com/content… The paper was published in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. #health #ElderlyCare #communityspaces #medicine #healthcare #science #Japan

A research team at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) developed a new #AI model to analyze 4D functional #MRI data that analyzes #brain activity across space and time while providing interpretable information for trustworthy computer-aided diagnosis. It allows clinicians to examine the evidence behind an AI prediction rather than relying only on a final result. ➡️asiaresearchnews.com/content… Published in @IEEEXplore Journal of #Biomedical and Health #Informatics
