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.

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 CARing, a framework that improves next‑visit diagnosis prediction by representing diagnoses with compositional Semantic IDs (SIDs) and optimizing multi‑label coverage through reinforcement learning. CARing encodes ontology‑enriched disease semantics into compact SIDs, aligns them with natural language and EHR contexts, and employs a coverage reward to encourage diverse diagnosis predictions. On MIMIC‑III and MIMIC‑IV datasets, CARing outperforms all EHR‑trained baselines in weighted F1 and achieves the highest top‑k recall, including R@30 scores above 46% in reasoning mode.
