Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential to improve self-management of several chronic conditions. However, the perspective of patients and healthcare professionals regarding AI-enabled health management programs, which are key to successful implementation, remains poorly understood.

Purpose: To explore the opinions of people with a history of myocardial infarction (PHMI) and health professionals on the use of AI for secondary prevention of MI.

Procedure: Three rounds of focus groups were conducted via videoconferencing with 38 participants: 22 PHMI and 16 health professionals.

Findings: We identified 21 concepts stemming from participants' views, which we classified into five categories: Trust; Expected Functions; Adoption; Concerns; and Perceived Benefits. Trust covered the credibility of information and safety to believe health advice. Expected Functions covered tailored feedback and personalised advice. Adoption included usability features and overall interest in AI. Concerns originated from previous negative experience with AI. Perceived Benefits included the usefulness of AI to provide advice when regular contact with healthcare services is not feasible. Health professionals were more optimistic than PHMI about the usefulness of AI for improving health behaviour.

Conclusions: Altogether, our findings provide key insights from end-users to improve the likelihood of successful implementation and adoption of AI-enabled systems in the context of MI, as an exemplar of broader applications in chronic disease management.

Tryptophan participates in important life activities and is involved in various metabolic processes. The indole and aromatic binuclear ring structure in tryptophan can engage in diverse interactions, including π-π, π-alkyl, hydrogen bonding, cation-π, and CH-π interactions with other side chains and protein targets. These interactions offer extensive opportunities for drug development.

Therapeutic hurdles persist in the fight against lung cancer, although it is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Results are still not up to par, even with the best efforts of conventional medicine, thus new avenues of investigation are required. Examining how immunotherapy, precision medicine, and AI are being used to manage lung cancer, this review shows how these tools can change the game for patients and increase their chances of survival.

Background And Objective: Patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) are often asymptomatic but present acutely with life threatening complications that necessitate emergency intervention. Aortic diameter measurement using computed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, surgical planning, and monitoring. However, manual measurement can create challenges in clinical workflows due to its time-consuming, labour-intensive nature and susceptibility to human error.

Background: Addressing language barriers through accurate interpretation is crucial for providing quality care and establishing trust. While the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to translate medical documentation has been studied, its role for patient-provider communication is less explored. This review evaluates AI's effectiveness in clinical translation by assessing accuracy, usability, satisfaction, and feedback on its use.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a debilitating disorder that impacts all systems of the body and has been increasing in prevalence throughout the globe. DM represents a significant clinical challenge to care for individuals and prevent the onset of chronic disability and ultimately death. Underlying cellular mechanisms for the onset and development of DM are multi-factorial in origin and involve pathways associated with the production of reactive oxygen species and the generation of oxidative stress as well as the dysfunction of mitochondrial cellular organelles, programmed cell death, and circadian rhythm impairments.
