The technological developments of artificial intelligence have created predictive models capable of improving prognostic accuracy compared to traditional methods. However, there are many uncertainties about their effective applicability in clinical reality, due to the lack of rigorous methodological studies. These new perspectives can offer the starting point for a reflection on risk communication, taking for example a very frequent situation in daily practice, cardiovascular risk, describing ancient but still current concepts.

Purpose: This study aimed to establish a role framework and organizational redesign for home care services in response to the evolving internal and external environments in South Korea. The specific objectives were: (1) to perform a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis based on the external and internal factors related to home care services; (2) to propose key ideas for restructuring services and human resources; and (3) to suggest strategies for enhancing the quality of home-based care services.
Patients And Methods: The policy landscape for older adult healthcare in Seoul, South Korea along with the current state and challenges of home care services were reviewed.

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has achieved popularity because it facilitates monitoring of the functional integrity of neural structures under general anesthesia. It aids in the early detection of injury and minimizes postoperative neurologic deficit or neurologic morbidity from surgical manipulations of various neurologic structures. The patient mentioned in this case report presented with lower limb radiculopathy and was diagnosed with diastematomyelia Type II, and she was planned for surgical intervention under general anesthesia.

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been proposed for the prediction of social behaviors that could be reasonably understood from patient-reported information. This raises novel ethical concerns about respect, privacy, and control over patient data. Ethical concerns surrounding clinical AI systems for social behavior verification can be divided into two main categories: (1) the potential for inaccuracies/biases within such systems, and (2) the impact on trust in patient-provider relationships with the introduction of automated AI systems for "fact-checking", particularly in cases where the data/models may contradict the patient.
