Incorporating the use of the Clinical Frailty Scale in clinical practice can help to identify patients with cirrhosis who may be at a higher risk of developing hepatic encephalopathy. @EvSchleicher @kaps_leonard @schattenbergJ @SJGairing #GItwitter brnw.ch/21wGWKz

Tesla Full Self-Driving capability demo in Austin FSD capability features use vision neural networks to perceive & understand the world, just like humans do.   Via our unique fleet learning approach, we are able to collect anonymized data from our vehicles—meaning the neural nets have learned from a few orders of magnitude more driving scenarios than the average human driver (including unusual & weird ones!)

Symptom burden is significant in patients with PBC. Beside pruritus, fatigue was reported to be burdensome even though patients show an adequate biochemical response to UDCA! link.springer.com/article/10…
