Popular hair-loss pill linked to depression and suicide #health

Popular hair-loss pill linked to depression and suicide
Finasteride, a common hair-loss drug, has long been tied to depression and suicide, but regulators ignored the warnings. Prof. Mayer Brezis’s review exposes global data showing psychiatric harm and a pattern of inaction by Merck and the FDA. Despite its cosmetic use, the drug’s effects on brain chemistry can be devastating. Brezis calls for urgent regulatory reforms and post-marketing studies to protect public health.

Integrating Feedback Loss from Bi-modal Sarcasm Detector for Sarcastic Speech Synthesis
Sarcastic speech synthesis, which involves generating speech that effectively conveys sarcasm, is essential for enhancing natural interactions in applications such as entertainment and human-computer interaction. However, synthesizing sarcastic speech remains a challenge due to the nuanced prosody that characterizes sarcasm, as well as the limited availability of annotated sarcastic speech data. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel approach that integrates feedback loss fr…

Multi-Objective Loss Balancing in Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Fluid Flow Applications
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a promising machine learning approach for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). However, PINNs face significant challenges in balancing multi-objective losses, as multiple competing loss terms such as physics residuals, boundary conditions, and initial conditions must be appropriately weighted. While various loss balancing schemes have been proposed, they have been implemented within neural network architectures with fixed activa…

Channel Prediction under Network Distribution Shift Using Continual Learning-based Loss Regularization
Modern wireless networks face critical challenges when mobile users traverse heterogeneous network configurations with varying antenna layouts, carrier frequencies, and scattering statistics. Traditional predictors degrade under distribution shift, with NMSE rising by 37.5\% during cross-configuration handovers. This work addresses catastrophic forgetting in channel prediction by proposing a continual learning framework based on loss regularization. The approach augments standard training objec…

Squeezed states of light enable quantum-enhanced measurements but are limited by optical loss, particularly at 2 um where photodiode efficiency is low.

Following a type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in a double white dwarf (WD) binary, a surviving WD companion leaves at its orbital velocity $\approx 1$,000 - 3,000 km/s. The Gaia mission has discovered seven such hypervelocity WDs with inflated radii indicative of shock heating by SN ejecta.
