A SnSe/SnO2 p-n heterojunction single-sensor virtual electronic nose using a PCA-KNN framework enables room-temperature, non-contact detection and classification of volatile sulfur compounds released during methamphetamine production and trafficking, with high response to low-concentration H2S and 96.7% accuracy for H2

As of the September 2026 publication, researchers reported a SnSe/SnO2 p-n heterojunction device operated as a single-sensor virtual electronic nose for volatile sulfur compounds associated with illicit methamphetamine trafficking. The work combined material synthesis, DFT analysis of adsorption energetics, and a PCA-KNN model built on 12-dimensional features from response curves to identify six VSC systems.

An interpretable multi-instance learning method for accurate differentiation of malignant and benign laryngeal lesions in laryngoscopy: Results IMIL-Net achieved the highest diagnostic performance, with a mean area under the curve (AUC) of 0.975 (95% CI 0.959-0.991), accuracy of 0.915 (95% CI 0.883-0.947), sensitivity of 0.876 (95% CI 0.803-0.949), and specificity of 0.945 (95% CI 0.910-0.980).

Background Laryngeal cancer is a significant global health issue with high mortality, and early diagnosis is critical for survival. Developing accurate diagnostic models for laryngoscopy can reduce potential repeated biopsies and lessen the patient burden, representing an urgent clinical need.

Systematic review of 35 studies found classical AI models for bipolar disorder achieved pooled AUC 0.80 for long-term maintenance response and 85%-97% accuracy for safety and dose optimization.

A PRISMA-guided systematic review of 35 studies examined classical AI for treatment optimization in adult bipolar disorder across five outcomes: acute response, long-term maintenance, relapse/readmission, safety/dose, and brain aging/phenotyping. By the July 2026 publication date, pooled performance ranged from modest for acute response (AUC 0.68) to moderate-to-high for maintenance (AUC 0.80) and high accuracy for safety/dose (85%-97%).

Finally, we demonstrate how Microbial Community-scale Metabolic Modeling (MCMM) and multimodal machine learning mechanistically couple specific dietary inputs with unique microbiome responses, yielding up to 95% diagnostic accuracy in differentiating diet-responsive metabolic states and individualized postprandial glycemic outcomes.

Precision nutrition on a global scale necessitates an understanding of food not as static collections of so-called macronutrients but rather as dynamic and heterogeneous biochemical matrices. These complex non-linear interactions between food composition, gastrointestinal digestion and the human microbiome are difficult to capture using traditional empirical experimental methods.

A two-layer DNN is trained using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with a 70%-15%-15% data split.

The rapid spread of infectious diseases can lead to substantial casualties worldwide, with the greatest impact on economically disadvantaged and resource-deficient nations. The widespread transmission of infection disrupts social life and economic activities, amplifying their impact beyond the public health system.

Chatbots failed to answer 4.2% of interactions, received negative ratings for insufficient detail, and showed only 45% full guideline adherence with weak agreement between LLM and physician assessments.

Researchers co-developed ten disease-specific chatbots grounded in German rheumatology guidelines and deployed them through 13 rheumatology centres and six patient organisations from September 2025 to January 2026. They analyzed 6291 user questions, 2671 user ratings of responses, and 602 questionnaire responses, plus a six-dimensional LLM-as-a-judge assessment compared with rheumatologist ratings in subsets.

Despite high awareness, most Chinese oncology professionals have not practically integrated medical AI, with only 17.7% reporting both hearing of and using it and 67.7% hearing but never using it.

A nationwide cross-sectional survey of 610 oncology professionals in China (188 physicians, 422 nurses) examined attitudes toward medical AI using the UTAUT model. Only 17.7% had both heard of and used medical AI while 67.7% had heard but never used it, indicating an awareness-usage gap.
