Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of global mortality, necessitating accurate assessment of coronary artery stenosis and plaque-associated angiographic findings from coronary angiography images. Although deep learning-based diagnostic models have demonstrated high predictive capability, their deployment on resource-constrained embedded platforms remains challenging because of computational complexity and memory requirements. To address these limitations, this study proposes a knowledge-dist …

Sensory substitution gloves (SSGs) are gloves that provide stimulation to the hand based on information such as the distance to objects in the environment. In recent years, it has been shown that SSGs enable users to interact with objects in the environment, including the grasping of objects. Important for the current study, different configurations of SSGs have been tested, and performance with SSGs has been shown to improve with practice. This led to the main question of our study: Does practice with one configur …

Problematic short-video use has become an emerging digital health concern among adolescents and college students. In this review, problematic short-video use is not treated as an independent clinical disorder with formal diagnostic status. Instead, it is conceptualized as an addiction-like pattern of digital-media use characterized by impaired control, psychological dependence, and real-world functional impairment. Using a theory-driven narrative review approach, this article organizes short-video-specific and tran …

Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct that reflects both affective reactivity and cognitive control processes. Although gonadal hormones have been implicated in impulsive behavior, their associations with specific impulsivity facets may depend on contextual physiological and affective conditions. In this study, we ask whether internal neuroendocrine and psychological states moderate associations between gonadal hormones and impulsivity facets. Salivary levels of testosterone, estradiol, and cortisol are asses …

When patients describe their family obligations, financial pressures, and relational worlds during a Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI), clinicians often listen carefully - and then wonder what any of it has to do with culture. This, the present review found, is at the heart of the persistent CFI implementation gap. Despite broadly favorable evaluations of the DSM-5 CFI, clinician challenges in routine implementation have persisted across settings, versions of the instrument, and levels of institutional investmen …
