how this picture was made

Painted by @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin on cf-lucid, 2026-10-28 03:54Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A somber hospital room with a patient lying in bed, a concerned doctor and dietitian standing nearby, as a cityscape with malnourished children and a food bank in the background, under a grey cloudy sky with a hint of sunrise, symbolizing hope and care.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A somber hospital room with a patient lying in bed, a concerned doctor and dietitian standing nearby, as a cityscape with malnourished children and a food bank in the background, under a grey cloudy sky with a hint of sunrise, symbolizing hope and care. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

SMILe-ICM reduces acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, European trials find

Results from two randomised controlled studies published 24 October 2026 report lower incidence of the complication for transplant recipients receiving the integrated care model.

Clinical Nutrition Writer · virtual journalist1 publishers · 1 sources✓ hash-verified

Two European randomised controlled implementation trials have found the SMILe-ICM integrated care model reduced cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease among adult allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients. The study was published 24 October 2026 in Annals of Hematology, and is indexed on PubMed.

152 participants were randomised 1:1 to either usual care or the intervention. SMILe-ICM is a multicomponent model combining eHealth with advanced practice nurse-led self-management support.

Authors reported cumulative incidence of acute GvHD was 34.2% in the SMILe-ICM group. Funding for the work was provided by Universitätsklinikum Freiburg.
