Improving Long‐Term Glucose Prediction Accuracy with Uncertainty‐Estimated ProbSparse‐Transformer
Wearable devices collect blood glucose and other physiological data, which serve as inputs to the prediction model. After data embedding, a structure utilizing ProbSparse self‐attention and a one‐step generative head within a Transformer‐based model is introduced, which is concurrently designed for deployment on edge devices, enabling real‐time ...

Impact of Cytogenetic Response to Therapy on Long‐Term Survival in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
ABSTRACT Prognostication in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) relies on clinical, molecular, and cytogenetic factors. In this retrospective study, we examined the impact of different levels of cytogenetic response on overall survival (OS) and event‐free survival (EFS) in AML.
