Expression profiles of SGK-1 and α-ENaC in minor salivary glands of subjects with xerostomia by Mahmood S. Mozaffari, Rafik Abdelsayed

“…While control specimens showed variable ductal α-ENaC immunolabeling, those of the experimental group displayed primarily diffuse cytoplasmic, with some membrane, immunolabeling in ductal cells. Semi-quantitative analyses, using ImageJ Fiji, showed increased normalized staining for α-ENaC and SGK-1, but not pSGK-1, for experimental compared to control cases.DiscussionCollectively, the data suggest a difference between the active form of the kinase and α-ENaC in minor salivary glands in xerostomia and that higher SGK-1 and α-ENaC may serve as diagnostic markers for this condition.…”

Medical reasoning in LLMs: an in-depth analysis of DeepSeek R1 by Birger Moëll, Fredrik Sand Aronsson, Fredrik Sand Aronsson, Sanian Akbar

“…IntroductionThe integration of large language models (LLMs) into healthcare holds immense promise, but also raises critical challenges, particularly regarding the interpretability and reliability of their reasoning processes. While models like DeepSeek R1-which incorporates explicit reasoning steps-show promise in enhancing performance and explainability, their alignment with domain-specific expert reasoning remains understudied.MethodsThis paper evaluates the medical reasoning capabilities of DeepSeek R1, comparing its outputs to the reasoning patterns of medical domain experts.ResultsThrough qualitative and quantitative analyses of 100 diverse clinical cases from the MedQA dataset, we demonstrate that DeepSeek R1 achieves 93% diagnostic accuracy and shows patterns of medical reasoning. …”
