This article explores the potential risks associated with using artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images in the field of microscopy. It discusses the current state-of-the-art AI-based image-generation techniques and their limitations. It investigates the potential risks associated with the illegal use of AI-generated images, including their use in creating falsified scientific data and the consequences of such misuse.

- The study focused on identifying factors that contribute to the failure of asthma treatment step-down in patients with moderate to severe asthma who were on a combination therapy of inhaled glucocorticoids and long-acting beta agonists.
- Results showed that 41.7% of patients experienced step-down failure, with significant factors including older age, multiple comorbidities, severity of asthma, and a short duration of previous asthma control.
- The conclusion emphasizes that successful step-down is more likely when patients have maintained asthma control for over 6 months, suggesting that careful consideration is needed before adjusting treatment.
Purpose: Risk factors for nosocomial candidemia, severity of sepsis, treatment, and outcome were compared between patients admitted to medicine wards and those to surgical and intensive care units (ICUs).
Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients belonging to six referral hospitals in Italy between January 2011 and December 2013. Risk factors for 30-day mortality were evaluated in the whole patient population.
