Credit and blame for AI-generated content: Effects of personalization in four countries.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) raises ethical questions concerning moral and legal responsibility-specifically, the attributions of credit and blame for AI-generated content. For example, if a human invests minimal skill or effort to produce a beneficial output with an AI tool, can the human still take credit? How does the answer change if the AI has been personalized (i.e.

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Quick Sequential Organ Function Assessment, and Organ Dysfunction: Insights From a Prospective Database of ED Patients With Infection.

Background: A proposed revision of sepsis definitions has abandoned the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), defined organ dysfunction as an increase in total Sequential Organ Function Assessment (SOFA) score of ≥ 2, and conceived "qSOFA" (quick SOFA) as a bedside indicator of organ dysfunction. We aimed to (1) determine the prognostic impact of SIRS, (2) compare the diagnostic accuracy of SIRS and qSOFA for organ dysfunction, and (3) compare standard (Sepsis-2) and revised (Sepsis-3) definitions for organ dysfunction in ED patients with infection.

Methods: Consecutive ED patients admitted with presumed infection were prospectively enrolled over 3 years.

Prior statin use is not associated with improved outcome in emergency patients admitted with infection: a prospective observational study.

Objectives: The objective was to determine whether prior statin use is associated with lower mortality in emergency patients admitted with infection.

Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the emergency department (ED) of a tertiary adult hospital with an annual census of over 73,000 patients. Patients presenting to the ED who were subsequently hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of infection were identified within 24 hours of presentation.

A prospective registry of emergency department patients admitted with infection.

Background: Patients with infections account for a significant proportion of Emergency Department (ED) workload, with many hospital patients admitted with severe sepsis initially investigated and resuscitated in the ED. The aim of this registry is to systematically collect quality observational clinical and microbiological data regarding emergency patients admitted with infection, in order to explore in detail the microbiological profile of these patients, and to provide the foundation for a significant programme of prospective observational studies and further clinical research.

Methods/design: ED patients admitted with infection will be identified through daily review of the computerised database of ED admissions, and clinical information such as site of infection, physiological status in the ED, and components of management abstracted from patients' charts.

Tularemia on Martha's Vineyard: seroprevalence and occupational risk.

We conducted a serosurvey of landscapers to determine if they were at increased risk for exposure to Francisella tularensis and to determine risk factors for infection. In Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, landscapers (n=132) were tested for anti-F. tularensis antibody and completed a questionnaire.
