A Middleware System for Detecting and Mitigating Unsafe Tool Use in Large Language Models Open
As Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly integrate with external tools and APIs, the risk of hallucinated or unsafe tool invocations poses significant challenges for production deployments. We present HGuard, a middleware system design…

Comparing left ventricular assist device inflow cannula angle between median sternotomy and thoracotomy using 3D reconstructions Open
Background Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation via thoracotomy has many potential advantages compared to conventional sternotomy, including improved inflow cannula (IFC) positioning. We compared the difference in IFC angles,…

Does playing video games provide a benefit for acquiring laparoscopic surgical skills? Open
This study assessed whether playing video games enhanced laparoscopic skill acquisition for preclinical medical students with no past surgical exposure. By the second attempt on a peg transfer task, there was no significant difference in t…

Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1/growth differentiation factor-15 in premalignant and neoplastic tumours in a high-risk pancreatic cancer cohort Open
In this pilot study MIC-1/GDF15 has predictive capacity for neoplastic tumours in asymptomatic individuals with a genetic predisposition for PC. Further imagining may be warranted in patients with abnormal EUS and raised serum MIC-1/GDF15.…
