The ethics of AI-assisted warfighter enhancement research and experimentation: Historical perspectives and ethical challenges.

The military applications of AI raise myriad ethical challenges. Critical among them is how AI integrates with human decision making to enhance cognitive performance on the battlefield. AI applications range from augmented reality devices to assist learning and improve training to implantable Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) to create bionic "super soldiers.

Asthma, sports, and death.

The impact of asthma on the general population has been described in detail in medical literature. However, asthma also has a significant impact on the pediatric and adult athlete. This is rarely reported in either the lay press or the medical literature.

Asthma adherence and the athlete.

Although much has been written on the topic of adherence (also known as compliance) in asthma, little is known about adherence in the asthmatic athlete. There are shared reasons for poor adherence to treatment among athletes of varying ages and levels of competition. The Shared Decision-Making model is considered to be the optimal approach to enhancing adherence among all patients with chronic disease but is particularly well applied to athletes with asthma.

A pilot survey of beta2-agonist inhaler availability for children with asthma during organized sporting events.

Background: One of the main stimuli that cause asthma exacerbations in children is physical activity, and exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) occurs in most asthmatic patients.

Objective: To investigate the level of preparedness for a potential EIB event in suburban children involved in recreational sports.

Methods: A cross-sectional study, focusing on children 12 years and younger, who participated in Little League baseball or soccer in Lower Merion Township, PA, was conducted by clinical survey.

Asthma deaths during sports: report of a 7-year experience.

Background: Asthma mortality and the mortality of athletes during sports have been described separately in detail in the medical literature. However, asthma has not been reported as a cause of death in competitive athletes.

Objective: The object of this study was to raise the awareness of physicians, coaches, trainers, and parents that children and adults can have fatal asthma exacerbations during and immediately after participating in sports.

Asthma screening of high school athletes: identifying the undiagnosed and poorly controlled.

Background: It is believed that there are many high school-age athletes who have undiagnosed asthma or exercise-induced asthma (EIA). The screening of these athletes for EIA will allow them to be identified and treated.

Objectives: 1) To obtain reliable peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurements and administer questionnaires to high school-age athletes to evaluate their asthma risk.
