Thirty-four per cent of deaths among Americans aged 1-46 are due to injury, and many of these deaths could be prevented if all hospitals performed as well as the highest-performing hospitals. The Institute of Medicine and the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine have called for learning health systems, with emphasis on clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) as a means of limiting preventable deaths. Reduction in mortality has been demonstrated when evidence-based trauma CPGs are adhered to; however, guidelines are variably updated, redundant, absent, inaccessible, or perceived as irrelevant.

Unlabelled: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has shown potential for various applications in the medical field, particularly for diagnosing and managing chronic diseases among children and adolescents. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze and synthesize research on the use of AI for monitoring, guiding, and assisting pediatric patients with chronic diseases. Five major electronic databases were searched (Medline, Scopus, PsycINFO, ACM, Web of Science), along with manual searches of gray literature, personal archives, and reference lists of relevant papers.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers previously found that benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a carcinogen in tobacco smoke, caused significantly more DNA damage in smokers' buccal cells compared to non-smokers, indicating a link to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
  • A Phase 0 clinical study involving 27 smokers tested the effects of black raspberry (BRB) lozenges on reducing B[a]P-induced DNA damage over an 8-week period.
  • Results showed a significant reduction in DNA damage at various points during and after BRB administration, suggesting its potential as a chemopreventive agent against tobacco-related OSCC.
