The Role and Limitations of Artificial Intelligence in Combating Infectious Disease Outbreaks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in the management of pandemics, significantly enhancing disease prediction, diagnostics, drug discovery, and vaccine development. This manuscript explores AI's multifaceted applications during infectious disease outbreaks, from predictive modeling and outbreak forecasting to the acceleration of vaccine development and antimicrobial resistance detection. AI-driven technologies, including deep learning and reinforcement learning, have shown remarkable effectiveness in improving diagnostic accuracy, streamlining drug discovery processes, and providing real-time decision-making support for healthcare providers.

Management of Atrial Fibrillation Post Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Some of these patients have preexisting AF as well. The management of these patients is complex, especially after the procedure, when there is a sudden change in hemodynamics.

A huge metaplastic breast carcinoma with chest wall invasion and pulmonary metastasis: a rare case report.

Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a diverse group of invasive breast carcinoma, in which the neoplastic epithelium differentiates toward squamous cells or mesenchymal looking elements, including but not restricted to spindle, osseous and chondroid cells. MBC was formally considered a distinct pathological pattern by WHO classification of breast tumors in 2000. We report the case of a 49-year-old Syrian female who presented to our hospital due to a painful huge mass in her right breast.
