Article Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) shows strong potential to transform primary care by streamlining workflows, improving diagnostics, and enhancing patient outcomes. However, integration faces barriers, including PCPs' concerns about workflow disruptions, reliability, and loss of human connection. This study explored PCPs' perspectives and challenges around AI integration in primary care to inform the development of practical, human-centered tools.

Method: This qualitative study included four focus groups (n = 40), comprising PCPs, residents, and AI developers, in December 2024. Sessions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Three main themes emerged: (1) : PCPs' experiences with current technological gaps and their vision for improved support; (2) : tensions in embedding AI while safeguarding care quality; and (3) : future solutions that preserve clinical judgment.

Result: Key findings emphasized the need for incremental AI adoption, starting with administrative tasks and progressing to clinical decision support, with systems acting as "silent partners" to enhance rather than replace human judgment. PCPs see AI as a promising way to reduce administrative burden and improve care quality but stress the need for human-centered design that protects the doctor-patient relationship.

Conclusion: Successful integration requires addressing workflow compatibility, ethical concerns, and preserving clinical autonomy through collaborative development.

Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.

Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are a leading cause of death worldwide, yet first responder apps can significantly improve outcomes by mobilizing citizens to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation before professional help arrives. Despite their importance, limited research has examined the psychological and behavioral factors that influence individuals' willingness to adopt these apps.

Objective: Given that first responder app use involves elements of both technology adoption and preventive health behavior, it is essential to examine this behavior from multiple theoretical perspectives.

Purpose: Expanding high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage in resource-constrained settings is critical to bridging the cervical cancer gap and achieving the global action plan for elimination. Mobile health (mHealth) technology via short message services (SMS) has the potential to improve HPV vaccination uptake. The mHealth-HPVac study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in increasing HPV vaccine uptake among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years in Lagos, Nigeria.

Immune Response Subphenotyping to Predict Mortality in Sepsis: A Prospective Study in Resource-Limited Setting.

Crit Care Explor

September 2025

Division of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Importance: Sepsis remains a leading cause of death in infectious cases. The heterogeneity of immune responses is a major challenge in the management and prognostication of patients with sepsis. Identifying distinct immune response subphenotypes using parsimonious classifiers may improve outcome prediction, particularly in resource-limited settings.
