Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potentially transformative force, particularly in the realm of emergency medicine (EM). The implementation of AI in emergency departments (ED) has the potential to improve patient care through various modalities. However, the implementation of AI in the ED presents unique challenges that influence its clinical adoption. This scoping review summarizes the current literature exploring the barriers and facilitators of the clinical implementation of AI in the ED.
Methods: We systematically searched Embase (Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid), Web of Science, and Engineering Village. All articles were published in English through November 20th, 2023. Two reviewers screened the search results, with disagreements resolved through third-party adjudication.
Results: A total of 8172 studies were included in the preliminary search, with 22 selected for the final data extraction. 10 studies were reviews and the remaining 12 were primary quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies. Out of the 22, 13 studies investigated a specific AI tool or application. Common barriers to implementation included a lack of model interpretability and explainability, encroachment on physician autonomy, and medicolegal considerations. Common facilitators to implementation included educating staff on the model, efficient integration into existing workflows, and sound external validation.
Conclusion: There is increasing literature on AI implementation in the ED. Our research suggests that the most common barrier facing AI implementation in the ED is model interpretability and explainability. More primary research investigating the implementation of specific AI tools should be undertaken to help facilitate their successful clinical adoption in the ED.

Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide and a principal substrate in biotechnological production processes. In Pseudomonas, this sugar is either imported directly into the cytosol or first oxidised to gluconate in the periplasm. While gluconate is taken up via a proton-driven symporter, the import of glucose is mediated by an ABC-type transporter, and hence both require energy.

Background: X-ray grating-based dark-field imaging can sense the small angle scattering caused by object's micro-structures. This technique is sensitive to the porous microstructure of lung alveoli and has the potential to detect lung diseases at an early stage. Up to now, a human-scale dark-field CT (DF-CT) prototype has been built for lung imaging.

Analysis of the symmetry of the brain hemispheres at the level of individual structures and dominant tissue features has been the subject of research for many years in the context of improving the effectiveness of imaging methods for the diagnosis of brain tumor, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease, among others. One useful approach is to reliably determine the midline of the brain, which allows comparative analysis of the hemispheres and uncovers information on symmetry/asymmetry in the relevant planes of, for example, CT scans. Therefore, an effective method that is robust to various geometric deformations, artifacts, varying noise characteristics, and natural anatomical variability is sought.

Background: Online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) and rapid quality assurance (QA) are essential for effective heavy ion therapy (HIT). However, there is a shortage of deep learning (DL) models and workflows for predicting Monte Carlo (MC) doses in such treatments.
Purpose: This study seeks to address this gap by developing a DL model for independent MC dose (MCDose) prediction, aiming to facilitate OART and rapid QA implementation for HIT.

Machine learning algorithms have proven to be effective for essential quantum computation tasks such as quantum error correction and quantum control. Efficient hardware implementation of these algorithms at cryogenic temperatures is essential. Here we utilize magnetic topological insulators as memristors (termed magnetic topological memristors) and introduce a cryogenic in-memory computing scheme based on the coexistence of a chiral edge state and a topological surface state.
