Artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining medical education, bringing new dimensions of personalized learning, enhanced visualization and simulation-based clinical training to the forefront. Additionally, AI-powered simulations offer realistic, immersive training opportunities, preparing students for complex clinical situations and fostering interprofessional collaboration skills essential for modern healthcare. However, the integration of AI into medical education presents challenges, particularly around ethical considerations, skill atrophy due to overreliance and the exacerbation of the digital divide among educational institutions. Addressing these challenges demands a balanced approach that includes blended learning models, digital literacy and faculty development to ensure AI serves as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, core medical competencies. As medical education evolves alongside AI, institutions must prioritize strategies that preserve human-centred skills while advancing technological innovation to prepare future healthcare professionals for an AI-enhanced landscape.

Background: The prevalence of depressive symptoms, apathy, and cognitive decline increases with age. Understanding the temporal dynamics of these symptoms could provide valuable insights into the early stages of cognitive decline, allowing for more timely and effective treatment and management.
Methods: Participants from the Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care (preDIVA) trial cohort with baseline and ≥3 follow-up measurements were included, with a median of 7.

Background: Deprescribing by physicians based on the suggestions of community pharmacists is useful to ensure medication safety. Pharmacist-led deprescribing is not always implemented smoothly because of communication gaps between physicians and pharmacists. Our previous study found that assertiveness, as a communication style, is associated with pharmacist-initiated prescription changes for medication safety; however, its association with community pharmacist-led deprescribing is unclear.
