Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: A Multinational Multi-Center Survey on the Medical and Dental Students' Perception.

The emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) will probably affect the practice for the next generation of doctors. However, the students' views on AI have not been largely investigated. An anonymous electronic survey on AI was designed for medical and dental students to explore: (1) sources of information about AI, (2) AI applications and concerns, (3) AI status as a topic in medicine, and (4) students' feelings and attitudes.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates from the conjunctiva, storage cases and mobile phones of university students using contact lenses.

Purpose: To investigate the presence of bacterial pathogens on the palpebral conjunctiva, mobile phones, and storage cases of contact lens wearers to study any possible correlation between types of bacteria isolated from the 3 sites and to determine their antibiotic profiles.

Methods: One hundred and eighty nine swabs from the conjunctiva, mobile phones, and storage cases were collected from 63 contact lens wearing university students. The swabs were collected and transported to the microbiology laboratory within one hour and inoculated on nutrient agar, MacConkey agar, blood agar and mannitol salt agar.
