Background: In recent years Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are rapidly evolving into clinical practices such as diagnosis and prognosis processes, assess treatment effectiveness, and monitoring of diseases. The previous studies showed interesting results regarding the diagnostic efficiency of AI methods in differentiating Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients from healthy controls or other demyelinating diseases. There is a great lack of a comprehensive systematic review study on the role of AI in the diagnosis of MS. We aimed to perform a systematic review to document the performance of AI in MS diagnosis.
Methods: A systematic search was performed using four databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE on August 2021. All original studies which focused on deep learning or AI to analyze any modalities with the purpose of diagnosing MS were included in our study.
Results: Finally, 38 studies were included in our systematic review after the abstract and full-text screening. A total of 5433 individuals were included, including 2924 cases of MS and 2509 healthy controls. Sensitivity and specificity were reported in 29 studies which ranged from 76.92 to 100 for sensitivity and 74 to 100 for specificity. Furthermore, 34 studies reported accuracy ranged 81 to 100. Among included studies, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (20 studies), OCT (six studies), serum and cerebrospinal fluid markers (six studies), movement function (three studies), and other modalities such as breathing and evoked potential was used for detecting MS via AI.
Conclusion: In conclusion, diagnosis of MS based on new markers and AI is a growing field of research with MRI images, followed by images obtained from OCT, serum and CSF biomarkers, and motor associated markers. All of these results show that with advances made in AI, the way we monitor and diagnose our MS patients can change drastically.

Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive primary CNS anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an extremely rare pediatric malignancy. Its radiological appearance often mimics infectious or glial lesions, complicating diagnosis and delaying treatment.
Observations: The authors report the case of a 10-year-old immunocompetent female who presented with absence seizures and vomiting.

Background: Youth mental health issues have been recognized as a pressing crisis in the United States in recent years. Effective, evidence-based mental health research and interventions require access to integrated datasets that consolidate diverse and fragmented data sources. However, researchers face challenges due to the lack of centralized, publicly available datasets, limiting the potential for comprehensive analysis and data-driven decision-making.

Background: Personalized Interactive Music Systems (PIMSs) are emerging as promising devices for enhancing physical activity and exercise outcomes. By leveraging real-time data and adaptive technologies, PIMSs align musical features, such as tempo and genre, with users' physical activity patterns, including frequency and intensity, enhancing their overall experience.
Objective: This exploratory systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of PIMSs across physical, psychophysical, and affective domains.

Background: Postoperative swelling is a common complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), associated with pain, limited mobility, and delayed recovery. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on interventions that reduce postoperative swelling, categorized into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases.
Methods: A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed for clinical studies evaluating interventions to reduce swelling after primary TKA.

Introduction: Melatonin supplements and melatonin receptor agonists are linked to reduced delirium in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) which we hypothesised may affect the length of stay (LOS) in ICU or in hospital. In this review, we identified and critically appraised the literature on the effect of exogenous melatonin and melatonin receptor agonists on the ICU and/or hospital LOS among adults admitted to the ICU.
Methods: Six electronic databases and three trial registries were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
