Post-marketing safety concerns with dolutegravir: a pharmacovigilance study based on the FDA adverse event reporting system database by Juan Su, Long He, Menglei Wang

“…Notably, subgroup analyses revealed that progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (n = 9) in males, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (n = 6) and deafness neurosensory (n = 3) in the 18–45 age group, and hepatic necrosis (n = 4) in the 46–65 age group were rated as high clinical priority. The overall onset time for all AEs exhibited an early failure pattern, with a median onset time of 74 days (IQR 19–310.5), whereas the median onset time for designated medical events (DMEs) was 59 days (IQR 12–186).ConclusionThe long-term safety of DTG requires reassessing its risk-benefit ratio. …”

Time-Series Forecasting Method Based on Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Attention Mechanism by Zhiguo Xiao, Junli Liu, Xinyao Cao, Ke Wang, Dongni Li, Qian Liu

“…Breaking through traditional structural designs, the model employs a Squeeze-and-Excitation Network (SENet) to reconstruct the convolutional layers of the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), strengthening the feature expression of key time steps through dynamic channel weight allocation to address the redundancy issue of traditional causal convolutions in local pattern capture. A Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) variant based on a global attention mechanism is designed, leveraging the collaboration between gating units and attention weights to mine cross-period long-distance dependencies and effectively alleviate the gradient disappearance problem of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN-like) models in multi-scale time-series analysis. …”
