Of the new cases reported during the day, five are from Mumbai, two from Pune and one from Kolhapur. Mumbai's tally now stands at 1012, of which 551 were reported in June and 20 so far in July. Since the start of the year, a total of 2,472 persons have recovered from the infection, the state health department said.

Study estimates 13 pc of biomedical abstracts published in 2024 involved use of AI
New Delhi: At least 13 per cent of research abstracts published in 2024 could have taken help from a large language model, as they included more of 'style' words seen to be favoured by these AI systems, suggests an analysis of more than 15 million biomedical papers published from 2010 to 2024. Powered by artificial intelligence, large language models are trained on vast amounts of text and can, therefore, respond to human requests in the natural language. Researchers from the University of Tubingen , Germany, said the AI models have caused a drastic shift in the vocabulary used in academic writing, with speculation about their influence in scientific writing being common. The study, published in the journal Science, revealed the emergence of large language models has sparked an increase in the usage of certain "stylistic words", including 'delves', 'showcasing', 'underscores', 'potential', 'findings' and 'critical'. The authors explained that the shift in words used during 2023-2024 were not "content-related nouns", rather style-affecting verbs and adjectives that large language models prefer. For the analysis, the researchers used a public health approach, common during the COVID-19 pandemic, for estimating excess deaths. The method involves comparing deaths during the pandemic with those before to assess the impact of COVID-19 on death rates. The approach modified for this analysis was termed as an "excess word" framework by researchers. The findings show an "unprecedented impact" of AI models on scientific writing in biomedical research, "surpassing the effect of major world events such as the COVID-19 pandemic". "We study vocabulary changes in more than 15 million biomedical abstracts from 2010 to 2024 indexed by PubMed and show how the appearance of (large language models) led to an abrupt increase in the frequency of certain style words," the authors wrote. PubMed is a search engine providing access to biomedical and life sciences literature published from around the world. "This excess word analysis suggests that at least 13.5 per cent of 2024 abstracts were processed with (large language models)," the team wrote. The figure was found to differ across disciplines, countries and journals, hitting 40 per cent in some cases, they said. In computational fields of biomedical research, about 20 per cent of the abstracts involved the use of large language models, which the researchers said could be due to computer science researchers being more familiar with and willing to adopt the technology. In non-English speaking countries, the AI systems can help authors with editing English texts, which could justify their extensive use, the authors said. However, they added that factors such as publication timelines -- which are shorter in computational fields, thereby enabling an earlier detection of AI use in these journals -- would need to be looked at. Therefore, the study's results may be re-evaluated after a couple of publication cycles in all fields and journals for which the methods used here can help, the team said. PTI

Former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks dies of adenocarcinoma: All about this aggressive stomach cancer
Source: X/@BostonStrong_34 Bobby Jenks, the flame-throwing closer who helped lead the Chicago White Sox to their historic 2005 World Series victory, has died at the age of 44. The White Sox confirmed his passing on Friday in Portugal, where Jenks had moved to be closer to his in-laws. He had publicly revealed in February that he was battling stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma, a serious and advanced form of stomach cancer. 'Bobby was an iconic member of our White Sox family,' said White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf in a statement honoring the two-time All-Star. What is adenocarcinoma ? Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in glandular epithelial cells—cells that line the inside of many organs and secrete fluids like mucus and digestive juices. It is a subtype of carcinoma, which is the most common class of cancer overall. Adenocarcinomas can form solid tumors and are capable of spreading (metastasizing) to other parts of the body. Common organs affected by adenocarcinoma include: stomach, colon and rectum, lungs, breast, esophagus, pancreas, and prostate. What causes adenocarcinoma? The exact cause of adenocarcinoma can vary, but it generally develops when glandular cells begin to mutate and divide uncontrollably. Over time, these abnormal cells form tumors and invade nearby tissues. Several risk factors may increase a person's chances of developing adenocarcinoma: Tobacco use (smoking or vaping) Heavy alcohol consumption Obesity (BMI over 25) Family history of cancer Exposure to environmental toxins Previous radiation therapy While not all tumors formed in glandular tissue are cancerous (non-cancerous ones are called adenomas), malignant tumors that invade healthy tissue and spread are known as adenocarcinomas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Bobby Jenks battled gastric adenocarcinoma Bobby Jenks was diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma, a cancer that originates in the mucus-producing glandular cells lining the inner stomach wall. Gastric cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage due to subtle early symptoms. Jenks had stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma, which means the cancer had spread beyond the stomach to distant organs such as the liver, lungs, or lymph nodes. Symptoms of gastric adenocarcinoma Some of the symptoms that people need to look out for include: feeling full after eating only small amounts of food, persistent indigestion, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, frequent stomach discomfort, unexplained weight loss, and bloating. These early warning signs of gastric adenocarcinoma are often subtle and easy to overlook, as they resemble common digestive issues. Thus the delayed diagnosis is a serious issue when it comes to gastric adenocarcinoma.
