Anatomy-guided slice-description interaction for multimodal brain disease diagnosis based on 3D image and radiological report.

Accurate brain disease diagnosis based on radiological images is desired in clinical practice as it can facilitate early intervention and reduce the risk of damage. However, existing unimodal image-based models struggle to process high-dimensional 3D brain imaging data effectively. Multimodal disease diagnosis approaches based on medical images and corresponding radiological reports achieved promising progress with the development of vision-language models.

Effects of a synbiotic yogurt using monk fruit extract as sweetener on glucose regulation and gut microbiota in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

We developed a synbiotic yogurt using monk fruit extract as a sweetener and investigated the effects of feeding the yogurt to rats with type 2 diabetes induced by streptozotocin and a high-fat diet. The rats fed the synbiotic yogurt showed greater blood glucose regulation and a significant decrease in insulin resistance and glycosylated hemoglobin compared with rats fed yogurt sweetened with sucrose, and they showed a remarkable improvement in short-chain fatty acid levels and gut microbiota status. Liver and kidney damage was also ameliorated in the rats fed the synbiotic yogurt.
