TL;DR
Large Language Models show potential in their diagnostic accuracy and consequent ability to reduce clinician burden, and may provide the greatest benefit when used to optimise referral quality at source, improving both clinician and potentially LLM triage downstream.
LLMs appear to have potential as supplementary information resources for clinicians in restorative dentistry; however, their clinical integration, impact on patient outcomes, and real-world usability remain to be established in future research.

OrL-HNS patients are largely familiar with LLMs and frequently use them, but their trust and confidence regarding health information provided by LLMs alone is limited, suggesting that clinician-led LLM use may be acceptable to many patients.

This exploratory scenario-based study demonstrates model-specific, rather than universal, language effects on LLM performance in dental trauma management.
Although Grok 4 showed the highest diagnostic concordance, current LLMs should support, not replace, clinician judgment, and LLM performance varied across ICOP-based scenarios.

The LLM showed offline potential for identifying cost-communication cues and generating clinician-facing preparation checklists for TKA, but content omissions, quality variation, safety risks, and substantive cross-run variability remained.

The finding that LLMs can distinguish urgent from nonurgent upper extremity conditions suggests that artificial intelligence tools could help reduce unnecessary use of high-cost emergency services, allowing those resources to be reserved for patients who require timely care.

A new computational approach reveals how cells communicate to assemble into tissues. This could accelerate stem cell engineering, improve disease models, and inform therapies.

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
