Article Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to standardize and automate important aspects of fertility treatment, improving clinical outcomes. One promising application of AI in the fertility clinic is the use of machine learning (ML) tools to assess embryos for transfer. The successful clinical implementation of these tools in ways that do not erode consumer trust requires an awareness of the ethical issues that these technologies raise, and the development of strategies to manage any ethical concerns. However, to date, there has been little published literature on the ethics of using ML in embryo assessment. This mini-review contributes to this nascent area of discussion by surveying the key ethical concerns raised by ML technologies in healthcare and medicine more generally, and identifying which are germane to the use of ML in the assessment of embryos. We report concerns about the 'dehumanization' of human reproduction, algorithmic bias, responsibility, transparency and explainability, deskilling, and justice.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to metabolic, hormonal, and environmental signals. These receptors play a critical role in metabolic homeostasis, inflammation, immune function, and disease pathogenesis, positioning them as key therapeutic targets. This review explores the mechanistic roles of NRs such as PPARs, FXR, LXR, and thyroid hormone receptors (THRs) in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, energy expenditure, cardiovascular health, and neurodegeneration.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a customized deep learning model based on CNN and U-Net for detecting and segmenting the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) of maxillary first molar teeth on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Methodology: CBCT scans of 37 patients were imported into 3D slicer software to crop and segment the canals of the mesiobuccal (MB) root of the maxillary first molar. The annotated data were divided into two groups: 80% for training and validation and 20% for testing.

Use of artificial intelligence for classification of fractures around the elbow in adults according to the 2018 AO/OTA classification system.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

September 2025

Department of Clinical Sciences at Danderyds Hospital, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, 182 88, Sweden.

Background: This study evaluates the accuracy of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN), in classifying elbow fractures using the detailed 2018 AO/OTA fracture classification system.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 5,367 radiograph exams visualizing the elbow from adult patients (2002-2016) was conducted using a deep neural network. Radiographs were manually categorized according to the 2018 AO/OTA system by orthopedic surgeons.
