MedVH: Toward Systematic Evaluation of Hallucination for Large Vision Language Models in the Medical Context

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
MedVH introduces the first comprehensive benchmark for diagnosing hallucinations in medical vision‐language models. Across six multitask evaluations, eight state‐of‐the‐art LVLMs reveal that domain‐tuned models, while strong on routine questions, hallucinate more than general models, raising serious concerns for real‐world clinical use.

Extramedullary Disease—Achilles Heel in Myeloma?

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in therapy, extramedullary disease (EMD) remains an aggressive form of multiple myeloma associated with poor outcomes. Patients with true EMD, in which plasmacytomas have become completely independent of bone, have a particularly poor prognosis. The pathogenesis of EMD is driven by complex mechanisms involving loss of adhesion
