Cervical Cancer Mortality Among US Women Younger Than 25 Years This study examines trends in cervical cancer mortality in US women aged younger than 25 years before and after the introduction of human papillomavirus vaccines.

The HPV vaccine has been recommended in the US since 2006. New study out today shows that cervical cancer deaths in young women in the years that followed have plummeted, decreasing 15% per year from 2013-2015.

So far I have essentially copy pasted your code and the result was far superior to anything I could get myself.

Thanks I am going through it slowly but the color and font sections as well as the scss files have been very useful.

Data Analysis and Visualization in R for Ecologists: Summary and Setup

Want to dip your toe into #programming? This free 6 hour intro to #Rstats online curriculum is a great entry point and we get good feedback when teaching it to researchers. Don't worry about the 'for ecologists' bit, that's just the flavour of dataset. #academicsky #research #science

Dolphins beat up octopuses before eating them, and the reason is kind of horrifying In general, it’s best for your food to not kill you. Dolphins agree, which is why they thrash their octopus around a bit before they chow down. Read on:

I wonder if they would have invented cooking if they had been evolved to live on land instead of water. www.popsci.com/dolphins-thr... #dolphins #octopus #MarineSky

Beautiful explanation of why using bar plots for representing summary stats is a bad idea.

Large Language Models Fail to Reproduce Level I Recommendations for Breast Radiotherapy | medRxiv This study evaluates the reliability of the largest public-facing large language models in providing accurate breast cancer radiotherapy recommendations. We assessed ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4, ChatGPT 4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and ChatGPT o1 in three common clinical scenarios. The clinical cases are as follows: post-lumpectomy radiotherapy in a 40 year old woman, (2) postmastectomy radiation in a 40 year old woman with 4+ lymph nodes, and (3) postmastectomy radiation in an 80 year old woman with early stage tumor and negative axillary dissection. Each case was designed to be unambiguous with respect to the Level I evidence and clinical guideline-supported approach. The evidence-supported radiation treatments are as follows: (1) Whole breast with boost (2) Regional nodal irradiation (3) Omission of post-operative radiotherapy. Each prompt is presented to each LLM multiple times to ensure reproducibility. Results indicate that the free, public-facing models often fail to provide accurate treatment recommendations, particularly when omission of radiotherapy was the correct course of action. Many recommendations suggested by the LLMs increase morbidity and mortality in patients. Models only accessible through paid subscription (ChatGPT o1 and o1-mini) demonstrated greatly improved accuracy. Some prompt-engineering techniques, rewording and chain-of-reasoning, enhanced the accuracy of the LLMs, while true/false questioning significantly worsened results. While public-facing LLMs show potential for medical applications, their current reliability is unsuitable for clinical decision-making. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest. ### Funding Statement This study did not receive any funding ### Author Declarations I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained. Yes I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived, and that any patient/participant/sample identifiers included were not known to anyone (e.g., hospital staff, patients or participants themselves) outside the research group so cannot be used to identify individuals. Yes I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance). Yes I have followed all appropriate research reporting guidelines, such as any relevant EQUATOR Network research reporting checklist(s) and other pertinent material, if applicable. Yes All data produced in the present work are contained in the manuscript

interesting research on using LLMs for guiding #bcsm #BreastCancer #EBRT #radonc decision-making for three types of cases for breast radiotherapy. Not surprised that these "stochastic parrots" don't know what they are spewing out. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.11.24317123v1

Is the methodology to grow the cells proprietary? Is this something another lab can think of investing funds in replicating?

Can we use this to see the effect of radiation therapy also ? Particularly low dose radiation (<100 cGy) as a sensitizer for other drugs ?
