Implications of Artificial Intelligence for Colorectal Cancer in Young Populations.

A considerable amount of recent research has focused on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in colorectal cancer (CRC), aiming to improve outcomes in CRC. However, AI for young onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC)-defined as colorectal cancer in patients less than 50 years old-is not nearly as explored, and its role in the prevention, detection, and management of yoCRC remains largely unknown. To address this gap, we performed an integrative review on AI in yoCRC.

Telemedicine in orthopaedics during the COVID-19 pandemic: a comparative landscape.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive analysis on observed trends regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on telemedicine application in orthopaedics compared to other procedural, non-emergent specialties.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of all telemedicine and in-person visits at a large single institution from January to December 2020. The number of patient visits, visit type, location, and provider specifics were collected.

Nanocrystalline Silver Layer of Knitted Polyester Outperforms Other Silver-Containing Wound Dressings in an In Vitro Wound Model.

Background Silver possesses cytotoxic properties against many microorganisms and is regularly used in wound care. Current evidence supporting the use of one type of silver-containing wound dressing (SCWD) is insufficient. Materials and methods To examine the ability of selected SCWDs to inhibit the growth of two strains of bacteria () commonly found in wounds, an in vitro wound model was used.

Renal malakoplakia with invasion of the liver and diaphragm: a patient case and literature review.

Renal malakoplakia, a seldom seen chronic inflammatory condition, continues to elude medical, surgical, radiological and pathological specialists due to its mimicry of other renal pathologies and low incidence. The variable clinical manifestations and non-specific radiological findings of malakoplakia can be misleading, and ultimately require a pathological diagnosis. A literature review reveals an extremely low prevalence of renal malakoplakia, a handful of invasive renal malakoplakia cases and no reports of liver and diaphragmatic invasion.

Recognising immunotherapy-induced meningoencephalitis: a case during treatment for primary metastatic melanoma of the bladder neck.

Although novel immunotherapy has shown promise for patients with melanoma, a more activated state of the immune system may lead to adverse systemic effects. Immunotherapy-induced meningoencephalitis is a rare and seldom reported adverse effect of immunotherapy but with the expanding role of immunotherapy in cancer treatments it must be recognised. Patients receiving immunotherapy should receive a proper warning about the potential for this life-threatening condition.

Needs, Challenges, and Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education Curriculum.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is on course to become a mainstay in the patient's room, physician's office, and the surgical suite. Current advancements in health care technology might put future physicians in an insufficiently equipped position to deal with the advancements and challenges brought about by AI and machine learning solutions. Physicians will be tasked regularly with clinical decision-making with the assistance of AI-driven predictions.

Educating Future Physicians in Artificial Intelligence (AI): An Integrative Review and Proposed Changes.

Background: As medicine and the delivery of healthcare enters the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the need for competent human-machine interaction to aid clinical decisions will rise. Medical students need to be sufficiently proficient in AI, its advantages to improve healthcare's expenses, quality, and access. Similarly, students must be educated about the shortfalls of AI such as bias, transparency, and liability.

The impact of state-mandated opioid prescribing restrictions on prescribing patterns surrounding reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: Orthopedic surgeons are the third-highest prescribers of opioid medications, and the recent opioid crisis has placed more scrutiny on physicians and their prescribing habits. House Bill 21, a new law limiting the prescription of opioid medications, was signed in Florida on July 1, 2018 and similar laws have been passed in a number of other states as well. The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of new legal mandates on opioid prescribing patterns and dependence rates for patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Is Community-engaged Learning Possible During a Pandemic: A Call for Culturally Competent Medical Education.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Previously, medical school curriculum focused on faculty or physician-led basic science and traditional clinical experiences, with medical students only gaining experience of the community in which they practice during residency.

MD and DO: Differing Medical Degrees and the Associated Perceptions.

Purpose: To highlight perspectives about differing medical degrees and graduate medical education amongst current allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) radiology residents.

Materials And Method: Two hundred sixty-eight radiology residents were interviewed using an approved Association of Program Coordinators in Radiology (APCR) survey designed to evaluate perceptions of allopathic and osteopathic radiology residents regarding type of medical degree and their career development. The surveys were kept anonymous with no identifiable information.

Should Radiologists Comment on Incidental Findings of Vascular Calcifications Found on Abdominal/Pelvic CT in Patients Less Than 50 Years of Age?

Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate if incidental abdominopelvic calcified atherosclerosis (ACA) in patients under 50 years of age correlates with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Most studies evaluating calcific atherosclerosis and associated increased risk of CVD have concentrated on middle age and older populations.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 519 emergency department patients, aged 25-50 years, receiving computed tomography (CT) was performed and ACA correlated with lipid panels obtained via chart review.

Macrophages in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: Friend or Foe?

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a subtype of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease that is characterised by steatosis, chronic inflammation, and hepatocellular injury with or without fibrosis. The role and activation of macrophages in the pathogenesis of NASH is complex and is being studied for possible therapeutic options to help the millions of people diagnosed with the disease. The purpose of this review is to discuss the pathogenesis of NASH through the activation and role of Kupffer cells and other macrophages in causing inflammation and progression of NASH.
