AI Article Synopsis

  • The study discusses traditional machine learning methods used in surgery and highlights the need to adapt to new techniques in light of big data.
  • The objective is to analyze the current and future use of machine learning for applications like risk assessment and decision-making in surgical practices.
  • With advancements in technology, including electronic health records and AI, it's crucial for surgeons to understand the capabilities and limitations of these new methodologies to improve patient care.

Article Abstract

Mini-abstract: The study introduces various methods of performing conventional ML and their implementation in surgical areas, and the need to move beyond these traditional approaches given the advent of big data.

Objective: Investigate current understanding and future directions of machine learning applications, such as risk stratification, clinical data analytics, and decision support, in surgical practice.

Summary Background Data: The advent of the electronic health record, near unlimited computing, and open-source computational packages have created an environment for applying artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytic techniques to healthcare. The "hype" phase has passed, and algorithmic approaches are being developed for surgery patients through all stages of care, involving preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative components. Surgeons must understand and critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these methodologies.

Methods: The current body of AI literature was reviewed, emphasizing on contemporary approaches important in the surgical realm.

Results And Conclusions: The unrealized impacts of AI on clinical surgery and its subspecialties are immense. As this technology continues to pervade surgical literature and clinical applications, knowledge of its inner workings and shortcomings is paramount in determining its appropriate implementation.

Background: Although agricultural health has gained importance, to date, much of the existing research relies on traditional epidemiological approaches that often face limitations related to sample size, geographic scope, temporal coverage, and the range of health events examined. To address these challenges, a complementary approach involves leveraging and reusing data beyond its original purpose. Administrative health databases (AHDs) are increasingly reused in population-based research and digital public health, especially for populations such as farmers, who face distinct environmental risks.

Purpose: Recent advances in artificial intelligence provide opportunities to capture and represent complex features of human language in a more automated manner, offering potential means of improving the efficiency of language assessment. This review article presents computerized approaches for the analysis of narrative language and identification of language disorders in children.

Method: We first describe the current barriers to clinicians' use of language sample analysis, narrative language sampling approaches, and the data processing stages that precede analysis.
