The paper introduces DeToxR, a reinforcement‑learning‑enhanced large language model designed to support decision making in acute toxicology cases. It fuses unstructured narratives from paramedics and patients with structured vital‑sign data to predict co‑ingested substances across 14 classes. In preliminary validation, DeToxR outperforms baseline models, achieving higher micro‑F1 and recall scores for poison identification.

arXiv:2608. 11410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers considerable promise for optimizing ICU treatment decisions, yet standard evaluation metrics Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Fitted Q-Evaluation (FQE) assess only behavioral imitation and cannot detect Toxic Mimicry, a failure mode in which agents replicate harmful patterns such as treatment withdrawal during comfort-care transitions.

CARE: Causally-Aligned Reasoning Exploration for Medical Large Language Models proposes a new framework to improve medical reasoning in LLMs. It introduces two key conditions—Causal Sufficiency and Proximal Learnability—to curate high-quality training trajectories, using agreement-based self-verification and dynamic entropy bounds. Experiments on medical multimodal and text-only benchmarks show that CARE outperforms competitors, reducing incorrect reasoning and enhancing training stability.

The paper introduces MIMIC-DOS, a dataset derived from MIMIC-IV that focuses on ICU cases where patient symptoms and medical signs are discordant. It presents CARE, a privacy‑compliant multi‑stage agentic reasoning framework that uses a proprietary LLM to generate structured categories and transitions, while a local LLM performs evidence acquisition and decision‑making. In retrospective evaluations on MIMIC‑DOS, CARE outperforms other LLMs and agentic workflows, demonstrating stronger handling of conflicting clinical evidence while preserving patient privacy.
