Article Abstract
Hypomimia is a prominent, levodopa-responsive symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD). In our study, we aimed to distinguish ON and OFF dopaminergic medication state in a cohort of PD patients, analyzing their facial videos with a unique, interpretable Dual Stream Transformer model. Our approach integrated two streams of data: facial frame features and optical flow, processed through a transformer-based architecture. Various configurations of embedding dimensions, dense layer sizes, and attention heads were examined to enhance model performance. The final model, trained on 183 PD patients, attained an accuracy of 86% in differentiating between ON- and OFF-medication state. Moreover, uniform classification performance (up to 88%) was obtained across various stages of PD severity, as expressed by the Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale. These values highlight the potential of our model as a non-invasive, cost-effective instrument for clinicians to remotely and accurately detect patients' response to treatment from early to more advanced PD stages.

Skin cancer, particularly melanoma, remains one of the most life-threatening forms of cancer worldwide, with early detection being critical for improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as dermoscopy and histopathology, are often limited by subjectivity, interobserver variability, and resource constraints. To address these challenges, this study proposes a dual-stream deep learning framework that combines histopathological-inherited and vision-based feature extraction for accurate and efficient skin lesion diagnosis.

This Perspective explores how new technologies can expand lignocellulose biorefineries to include coproducts for animal feed and microbial protein with potential applications in human food. Using the Brazilian sugarcane industry as a case study, the analysis highlights synergies from the spatial coexistence of sugarcane and livestock, as well as economies of scale and product multiplicity in biorefineries. The technology outlook examines selected biomass pretreatments that can generate pretreated biomass with dual use: reactive intermediate for cellulosic ethanol production and ruminant nutrition.

Revealing the relationship between carbon metabolism and carbon balance in human-nature coupled systems is vital for achieving China's "dual carbon" goals. With land use types as metabolic entities, we constructed a carbon metabolism spatial network model by measuring vertical carbon emission, carbon absorption, and horizontal carbon flow, and systematically explored the carbon metabolism evolution of the Hubei section of the Three Gorges Reservoir from 1995 to 2020. We further assessed ecological relationship, integral utility, and node contributions of the carbon metabolism spatial network by the ecological network analysis method, and comprehensively evaluated the impact of land use on regional carbon metabolism.

IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
September 2025
Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown promise in 2D medical image analysis, but extending them to 3D remains challenging due to the high computational demands of volumetric data and the difficulty of aligning 3D spatial features with clinical text. We present Med3DVLM, a 3D VLM designed to address these challenges through three key innovations: (1) DCFormer, an efficient encoder that uses decomposed 3D convolutions to capture fine-grained spatial features at scale; (2) SigLIP, a contrastive learning strategy with pairwise sigmoid loss that improves image-text alignment without relying on large negative batches; and (3) a dual-stream MLP-Mixer projector that fuses low- and high-level image features with text embeddings for richer multi-modal representations. We evaluated our model on the M3D dataset, which includes radiology reports and VQA data for 120,084 3D medical images.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental contaminants that threaten ecosystems and human health by binding to estrogen receptor β (ERβ) and disrupting endocrine function. Accurately identifying and predicting the interactions between PAHs and ERβ remains a key challenge in environmental science. To address this, we propose a Multi-Scale Dual-Stream Graph Attention Network (MS-DSGAT) for predicting PAHs-ERβ binding affinity.
