Article Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated clinical potential, yet its influence on medical education remains limited. This review explores AI applications in medical education, evaluates available evidence and considers future applications. We conducted a scoping review (PubMed, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Google Scholar; 2010-2022) identifying 42 relevant peer-reviewed articles. Four key themes emerged: surgical skills assessment, radiology training, interactive learning, and text interpretation. Current applications enhance surgical simulation and facilitate interactive learning. These tools may evolve towards comprehensive and individualised educational aids. Despite promising early applications, evidence on educational and clinical outcomes remains limited. Future research should prioritise validated outcomes in larger trials to confirm generalisability and address AI limitations.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, social deprivation, insurance coverage, and medication use across regional subsets of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the US.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of PsA patients in the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) registry between January 2020 and March2023 was conducted. Distribution of high disease activity (HDA - RAPID3>12), high comorbidity (RxRisk ≥90 percentile), high Area Deprivation Index (ADI ≥80), insurance coverage, prednisone ≥10mg daily, and all DMARD therapies across geographic regions were evaluated.

The Prescription Drug Misuse Education and Research (PREMIER) Center, University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA.

Introduction: Buprenorphine is effective for opioid use disorder (OUD), yet adherence remains suboptimal. This study aimed to identify adherence trajectories, explore their predictors, and assess their association with opioid overdose risk and healthcare costs.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Merative MarketScan Commercial Database, which includes a nationally representative sample of individuals with private, employer-sponsored health insurance in the United States.

Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental illness in Australia and are more common in women relative to men, as well as transgender and gender diverse people relative to cisgender people. Sex and gender differences in anxiety prevalence are likely driven by a combination of factors including differential exposure to different types of stressors and trauma, gendered enculturation of different coping responses and perceived stigma of mental illness, differences in medical comorbidities, and differences in symptom presentations. The established impact of gonadal hormone changes on anxiety risk and symptom presentation across the female lifespan underscore the need for sex- and gender-responsive management of anxiety disorders.

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), characterized by impaired spermatogenesis and the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, represents one of the most severe forms of male infertility. Current diagnostic strategies rely on invasive procedures such as testicular sperm extraction, underscoring the urgent need for reliable, non-invasive alternatives. In the present study, we performed untargeted metabolomic profiling of human seminal plasma to identify biomarker panels capable of stratifying azoospermia subtypes through a stepwise approach.

Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction with multivessel disease and anoxic brain injury: a case report.

Future Cardiol

September 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Valley Health System Graduate Medical Education, Las Vegas, NV, USA.

A 71-year-old black male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, history of bladder cancer status-post resection now in remission, history of multiple transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery disease (CAD) presented with non-exertional substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initial evaluation revealed elevated troponins and nonspecific electrocardiogram changes, consistent with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated severe multivessel disease, including critical left main stenosis.
