We explored personal autonomy issues within family caregiving relationships and found little evidence of significant autonomy conflicts. Findings did suggest, however, that family members were more sensitive to autonomy issues than were their frail older relatives and that both groups defined the disability itself as the major impediment to autonomy in later life. Findings support the usefulness of an expanded definition of autonomy, emphasizing the importance of goal-directed behavior, which may be inhibited by intrinsic conditions as well as external forces.

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Approaches to Managing Surgeon Fatigue and Improving Performance.
Cureus
December 2024
Surgery, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Norwich, GBR.
Surgeon fatigue significantly affects cognitive and motor functions, increasing the risk of errors and adverse patient outcomes. Traditional fatigue management methods, such as structured breaks and duty-hour limits, are insufficient for real-time fatigue detection in high-stakes surgeries. With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), there is growing potential for AI-driven technologies to address this issue through continuous monitoring and adaptive interventions.

This condition's complex pathophysiology makes treatment difficult. Genetics, trigeminovascular system activation, and cortical spreading depression are involved.
