Mind the Gap: Evaluating the Representativeness of Quantitative Medical Language Reasoning LLM Benchmarks for African Disease Burdens
Introduction: Existing medical LLM benchmarks largely reflect examination syllabi and disease profiles from high income settings, raising questions about their validity for African deployment where malaria, HIV, TB, sickle cell disease and other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) dominate burden and national guidelines drive care. Methodology: We systematically reviewed 31 quantitative LLM evaluation papers (Jan 2019 May 2025) identifying 19 English medical QA benchmarks. Alama Health QA was de…

Cotorsion pairs on extensions of abelian categories
Let $\mathcal{B}$ be an abelian category with enough projective objects and enough injective objects and let $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{B}\ltimes_η\mathsf{F}$ be an $η$-extension of $\mathcal{B}$. Given a cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{X},\;\mathcal{Y})$ in $\mathcal{B}$, we construct a cotorsion pair $(^{\perp}{\mathsf{U}^{-1}(\mathcal{Y})}, \mathsf{U}^{-1}(\mathcal{Y}))$ in $\mathcal{A}$ and a cotorsion pair $(Δ(\mathcal{X}),\;Δ(\mathcal{X})^\perp)$ in $\mathcal{A}$ for $\mathsf{F}^2=0$. In additio…

Can Common VLMs Rival Medical VLMs? Evaluation and Strategic Insights
Medical vision-language models (VLMs) leverage large-scale pretraining for diverse imaging tasks but require substantial computational and data resources. Meanwhile, common or general-purpose VLMs (e.g., CLIP, LLaVA), though not trained for medical use, show promise with fine-tuning. This raises a key question: Can efficient fine-tuned common VLMs rival generalist medical VLMs for solving specific medical imaging tasks? This study systematically evaluates common and medical VLMs across disease …

Two-Dimensional Faces of Order and Chain Polytopes
We give an explicit combinatorial description of the two-dimensional faces of both the order polytope $\mathcal{O}(P)$ and the chain polytope $\mathcal{C}(P)$ of a partially ordered set $P$. Using these descriptions, we show that for any $P$, $\mathcal{C}(P)$ has equally many square faces, and at least as many triangular faces, as $\mathcal{O}(P)$ does. Moreover, the inequality is shown to be strict except when $\mathcal{O}(P)$ and $\mathcal{C}(P)$ are unimodularly equivalent. This proves the c…
