Artificial Intelligence as an Assistive Tool in Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis in the Digital Era

Objective Breast cancer (BC) is a worldwide health task, and its increasing frequency and the associated burden on healthcare professionals are also increasing. Hence, integrating machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) into screening and diagnosis is irrefutable in the digital age. A comprehensive systematic review was conducted aimed at assessing the application of AI and ML techniques to enhance BC screening, diagnosis, classification, and tumor marker scoring. Methods An electronic literature…

Machine learning identifies depression risk in older adults with chronic diseases: Clarifying shared risk factors stratified by cognitive impairment status

Background The prevalence of depression is higher among older adults with chronic diseases and cognitive impairment than the general population. The comorbidity of cognitive impairment and chronic diseases significantly impacts the lives of these patients. This study aims to develop machine learning models to identify depression risk among older adults with chronic illnesses across different levels of cognitive impairment. Methods Data were derived from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (n = 5798…

Comparative quality, accuracy, and readability of large language model responses to patient questions about robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty

Purpose To compare the information quality, accuracy, and readability of patient-directed responses generated by large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT-o3, ChatGPT-5.2, Gemini 3, and DeepSeek, regarding robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA). Methods Thirty frequently asked patient questions were identified using LLM outputs and Google search queries. Responses were evaluated for information quality using the DISCERN and Quality Analysis of Medical Artificial Intelligence (QAMAI) instruments,…

Systematic Bias in Comparative Evaluations of Machine Learning Versus Logistic Regression for Clinical Prediction Models: A Meta-Research Analysis Using Trauma Mortality as an Empirical Case

Objective Comparative evaluations of machine learning (ML) and logistic regression (LR) for clinical prediction frequently report ML as superior, but the methodological framework producing those comparisons has received limited scrutiny. We aimed to quantify the apparent discrimination advantage of ML over LR using trauma mortality prediction as an empirical case, and to characterise the evaluation practices that shape it. Study design and setting Systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis combined with…

Predicting Conversion from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Review of Deep Learning Models for Early-Stage Disease Classification

Introduction Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which early diagnosis-particularly the accurate prediction of conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD-is essential to enable timely and effective therapeutic interventions. Deep learning (DL) models have demonstrated substantial promise in this domain; however, critical challenges persist, including multiclass staging of disease progression, longitudinal data modeling, and effective multimodal data integration. Th…

GENERATIVE AI FOR HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE: CAN SYNTHETIC FLUORESCENCE CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY IMAGES ENHANCE INTRAOPERATIVE DETECTION OF GANGLIONIC BOWEL?

Background Accurate identification of ganglionated bowel is essential during laparoscopic pull-through for Hirschsprung Disease (HD), yet intraoperative biopsy interpretation is time-sensitive and operator-dependent. Fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) provides rapid imaging of fresh tissue, and deep-learning (DL) has the potential to extract diagnostic patterns from these images automatically. However, DL development is limited by HD rarity and images scarcity. Generative-AI may address this gap by synthesiz…

Machine-learning prediction of urine-culture positivity in a multicentre test-ordered cohort: Model development and internal validation

Objectives This study aim to develop, compare and internally validate machine-learning models for predicting urine-culture positivity in patients who had both urinalysis and culture ordered and to explore descriptive probability strata. Post hoc secondary analyses examined age subgroups, the incremental contribution of text-derived features, simpler comparators and calibration. Patients and methods Urine culture results are typically unavailable for 24-72 h, creating uncertainty during initial assessment, and ma…

Advancing preoperative planning technology in total joint arthroplasty with a real-time machine learning calculator: 1-year mortality risk in a value-based care era

Background Technological innovation in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has largely focused on intraoperative precision through robotics, navigation, and implant design, while preoperative decision-making remains comparatively underdeveloped. Accurate estimation of patient-specific risk is central to surgical indications, yet existing tools provide limited resolution for consequential outcomes such as 1-year mortality. Methods A machine learning model was developed using the TriNetX Research Network. Patients unde…

Machine Learning for Mortality Prediction in Infective Endocarditis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Infective endocarditis (IE) continues to be an often fatal condition despite improvements in cardiac surgical procedures and antibiotic therapy, and conventional scoring tools show poor generalizability. Machine learning (ML) addresses these limitations by capturing complex, nonlinear clinical relationships, outperforming conventional scores in predictive accuracy, though prior ML work in IE has focused on diagnosis. A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis of PubMed (Supplemental Digital Content,…

Artificial intelligence for lung disease quantification in systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease and other connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease

Purpose of review Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of disease-related mortality in systemic sclerosis and the connective tissue disease-associated ILD (CTD-ILD) in which artificial intelligence imaging has advanced most rapidly. Visual high-resolution CT (HRCT) scoring is reader-dependent and limits clinical decision-making. This review summarizes clinically relevant artificial intelligence and radiomics publications from approximately the last 18 months, foc…
