Background: The increasing integration of chatbots across various sectors marks a significant shift in digital communication, and their role in healthcare makes no exception. This scoping review aims to systematically examine the role of chatbots in the perspective of organizational vaccine literacy, particularly in enhancing vaccine literacy and facilitating the dissemination of vaccine-related information, evaluating the potential of chatbots to transform vaccination communication strategies and improve health education outcomes.
Methods: This scoping review adhered to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and the PRISMA-ScR checklist.

Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischemic heart diseases, particularly acute myocardial infarction (MI), represent the most common cause of death. MI is influenced by multiple factors, including the release of inflammatory mediators.

This paper introduces a novel meta-heuristic approach based on the Black Widow Algorithm for Portfolio Optimization (BWAPO) to solve the FPOP. The new method addresses three versions of the portfolio optimization problems: the unconstrained version, the equality cardinality-constrained version, and the inequality cardinality-constrained version.

- Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant health issue in developing countries like Morocco, which reported 97 cases per 100,000 people in 2019, but has seen an 80% reduction in diagnoses since 1980 due to effective national control plans.
- Sternal TB is a rare form of musculoskeletal TB, making it difficult to diagnose due to the low awareness of its symptoms.
- A case study of a 14-year-old Moroccan boy with central chest pain led to the discovery of sternal TB, confirmed through a biopsy and treated successfully with antitubercular therapy, highlighting the need for awareness in similar cases.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of photon counting computed tomography (PCCT) to enhance imaging and assess iodine concentration (IC) in rectal cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (NARC).
- A total of 41 patients were analyzed, revealing a significant correlation between higher normalized iodine concentration (NIC) values and factors like lymphovascular invasion and treatment response in rectal cancer.
- The findings indicate that a NIC value of 0.36 or higher can effectively predict favorable treatment responses, showcasing high sensitivity (73.9%) and specificity (91.7%).
