Article Synopsis
- Hyperkalemia, a condition of elevated potassium levels, is linked to higher mortality rates in patients in cardiac intensive care units (CICU), and an AI-powered electrocardiogram (ECG) can predict this condition effectively.
- The study involved over 11,000 CICU patients and found that AI-ECG could identify hyperkalemia in patients even when laboratory tests showed normal potassium levels, with a notable percentage predicted to have the condition.
- Results indicated that patients identified by AI-ECG as hyperkalemic faced increased in-hospital mortality and reduced 1-year survival, suggesting AI-ECG offers valuable risk assessment beyond conventional lab measurements.

September 2024
Educational escape rooms within health sciences education are gaining traction as a unique and engaging game-based strategy for reviewing instructional content. Educational escape rooms cultivate valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, creativity, attention to detail, and the ability to apply knowledge under time pressures. While several studies have independently assessed learners' knowledge gains after educational escape room interventions, the present work meta-analyzes the efficacy of educational escape rooms across studies and student learners within health sciences education.

July 2024
Article Synopsis
- T-lymphocytic intestinal leiomyositis is a rare condition that can lead to pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstructions, making diagnosis challenging.
- Diagnosis usually requires invasive procedures like full-thickness bowel biopsies via laparotomy or laparoscopy, and treatment currently consists only of immunosuppressive therapy.
- Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent worsening conditions, and the review highlights a specific case that shows management strategies and compares it to earlier cases in the last two decades.
