Article Abstract
When evaluating information, we cannot always rely on what has been presented as truth: Different sources might disagree with each other, and sometimes there may be no underlying truth. Accordingly, we must use other cues to evaluate information-perhaps the most salient of which is consensus. But what counts as consensus? Do we attend only to surface-level indications of consensus, or do we also probe deeper and consider why sources agree? Four experiments demonstrated that individuals evaluate consensus only superficially: Participants were equally confident in conclusions drawn from a true consensus (derived from independent primary sources) and a false consensus (derived from only one primary source). This phenomenon was robust, occurring even immediately after participants explicitly stated that a true consensus was more believable than a false consensus. This illusion of consensus reveals a powerful means by which misinformation may spread.

Background: &Aim:Resmetirom is the first FDA-approved drug for metabolic-associated liver disease(MASLD) in F2-F3 patients with steatohepatitis. Non-invasive criteria have been proposed for initiating treatment; however, these have not been validated in clinical practice. We validated the proposed criteria and established new guidelines for initiating resmetirom treatment in clinical practice.

IEEE Trans Cybern
September 2025
This article investigates resilient source seeking problem of second-order multirobot systems (MRSs) under mixed cyberattacks, which consist of misbehaving and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. The misbehaving attacks can cover several types of malicious attacks, such as false data injection, stubborn, and Byzantine, while the network connectivity may be compromised by DoS attacks, potentially resulting in a time-varying and disconnected digraph. To this end, a resilient source seeking algorithm is proposed by designing an auxiliary point for each agent such that the coordination problem is transformed into a point tracking one.

A double true umbilical cord knot (TUCK) is a rare complication of pregnancy that is often missed on ultrasonography. The stricture caused by TUCK can lead to occlusion of fetal circulation, fetal asphyxia, and subsequent death. Despite these risks, there is a lack of evidence and no specific consensus on both antepartum and intrapartum management of TUCK.

Background: Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in liquid biopsies has emerged as a powerful biomarker in cancer patients. Its relative abundance in cell-free DNA serves as a proxy for the overall tumour burden. Here we present GeneBits, a method for cancer therapy monitoring and relapse detection.

Background And Objectives: Generating computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) 3-dimensional (3D) volume-rendered (3DVR) images can be time consuming without specialized technical staff or artificial intelligence solutions. However, their role in aneurysm detection in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage is not known. Our aim was to assess the diagnostic utility of 64-detector row CTA with 3DVR (CTA+3DVR) vs without 3DVR (CTA-3DVR) in intracranial aneurysm detection.
