Generative artificial intelligence in healthcare: A scoping review on benefits, challenges and applications.

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is revolutionizing healthcare with solutions for complex challenges, enhancing diagnosis, treatment, and care through new data and insights. However, its integration raises questions about applications, benefits, and challenges. Our study explores these aspects, offering an overview of GAI's applications and future prospects in healthcare.

Evaluation of Maxillary Alveolar Ridge Morphology and Residual Bone for Implant Placement by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

The aim of this study was to assess the morphology and dimension of maxillary alveolar ridge at anterior and posterior regions using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) prior to the placement of immediate implants. CBCT scans of 192 patients were evaluated. Measurements were taken at the cross sectional views in the maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, canine incisor, first and second premolars and first and second molars regions.

Outcomes of Telehealth for Wound Care: A Scoping Review.

Objective: To synthesize the literature on delivering wound care via telehealth and compare clinical, healthcare utilization, and cost outcomes when wound care is provided via telehealth (telewound) modalities compared with in-person care.

Data Sources: An electronic search of PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Clinical Trials databases for articles published from 1999 to 2019 was conducted using the following MeSH search terms: telewound, wound, wound care, remote care, telehealth, telemedicine, eHealth, mobile health, pressure injury, and ulcer.

Study Selection: Articles were included if they were a scientific report of a single study; evaluated a telehealth method; identified the type of wound of focus; and provided data on clinical, healthcare utilization, or cost outcomes of telewound care.

Unavoidable pressure injury: state of the science and consensus outcomes.

In the vast majority of cases, appropriate identification and mitigation of risk factors can prevent or minimize pressure ulcer (PU) formation. However, some PUs are unavoidable. Based on the importance of this topic and the lack of literature focused on PU unavoidability, the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel hosted a multidisciplinary conference in 2014 to explore the issue of PU unavoidability within an organ system framework, which considered the complexities of nonmodifiable intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors.

MASD part 3: peristomal moisture- associated dermatitis and periwound moisture-associated dermatitis: a consensus.

Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) occurs when excessive moisture in urine, stool, and wound exudate leads to inflammation of the skin, with or without erosion or secondary cutaneous infection. This article, produced by a panel of clinical experts who met to discuss moisture as an etiologic factor in skin damage, focuses on peristomal moisture-associated dermatitis and periwound moisture-associated dermatitis. The principles outlined here address assessment, prevention, and treatment of MASD affecting the peristomal or periwound skin.
