A case of Hippocratic digital associated with secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy complicating Crohn's disease in a 29 year old Japanese male is reported. Hippocratic digital, or finger clubbing, complicating inflammatory bowel disease has been frequently reported in the Western hemisphere. However, its association with secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy has been very rarely found in that disease. In Japan, Hippocratic digital has not been described previously. With regard to the pathogenesis of Hippocratic digital and secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, the theory that both entities belong to the same pathological spectrum and that megakaryocytes or platelet clumps may play the most important role, is discussed.

With the emergence of innovations and technological advancements – exemplified by telemedicine and more recently by the extremely rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence systems (Gen AI) like Large Language Models (LLM) such as ChatGPT – we are witnessing a progressive transformation of ancient Hippocratic medicine and the physician-patient relationship. These healthcare Gen AI, which carry inherently stakes, risks, opportunities, hopes, and concerns, justify an increased and reinforced ethical vigilance. These digital applications, multiplying, diversifying, and improving their performance day by day, tend to reshape the role and practices of healthcare professionals in their analytical and decision-making medical process.

Kartagener's syndrome is an uncommon autosomal recessive ciliary dyskinesia. It combines a triad comprised of bronchiectasis, chronic sinusitis, and situs inversus. This work aims to describe the clinical and paraclinical aspects of primary ciliary dyskinesia using Kartagener's syndrome as a model and to highlight the difficulties of confirming the diagnosis in our context.

The sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship is deeply embedded in tradition - the Hippocratic oath, medical ethics, professional codes of conduct, and legislation - all of which are being disrupted by big data and 'artificial' intelligence (AI). The transition from paper-based records to electronic health records, wearables, mobile health applications and mobile phone data has created new opportunities to scale up data collection. Databases of unimaginable magnitude can be harnessed to develop algorithms for AI and to refine machine learning.

Social media is increasingly a part of our personal and professional life and is here to stay. Here, I reflect on issues surrounding the use of social media (SMU) in the digital health context by clinicians in Australian paediatric health care. I aim to briefly highlight some inherent multifactorial and contextual ethical considerations which mainly relate to professionalism; including boundaries, obligations to patients and families within the therapeutic alliance, and balancing the help, hype and harm of SMU in clinical practice.
