Ecological risk zoning of soil heavy metal pollution using biomarker-enhanced indexing and machine learning

Traditional soil heavy metal risk assessments suffer from fragmented indices and poor logical integration. Compared to single-chemical indicators, biomarkers more sensitively reflect biological effects and early ecological risks. To address these issues, a method for constructing a comprehensive index integrating biological and non-biological multi-indexes was proposed in this study. First, the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC)-Fuzzy Biomarker Response Index (CFBRI) is developed by i…

Augmented and mixed reality as auxiliary tools in dental procedures and their integration with artificial intelligence: a scoping review

Objectives To map and synthesize the scientific evidence regarding the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) as auxiliary tools in dental procedures, and to examine the extent to which Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been integrated into these workflows. Data A scoping review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) recommendations. The study selection and data extraction processes were carried out by two independent reviewers, with disagree…

Future promise, current clinical ambiguity: a systematic review of machine learning algorithm outputs predicting risk of cardiovascular disease

Objective To examine whether the outputs of machine learning algorithms designed to predict risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) address known deficiencies of the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and improve risk estimates. Methods For this critical review, Medline, Embase and IEEE were searched from inception to 1 January 2025. Included were studies describing machine learning algorithms designed to specifically compare output of cardiovascular risk assessment with the FRS. Commentaries, letters, unpublished work or…

‘Tidal wave’ of Pfas being launched to satisfy AI industry, campaigners warn

Pfas companies are launching a “tidal wave” of forever chemicals production to meet demand from the AI industry, a campaign organisation has warned. Despite alarm over the chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, a survey of the 10 biggest manufacturers found most had plans to increase production. Many frame their investments around the “AI revolution”, because of the role Pfas play in semiconductor production and next-generation datacentre cooling systems. But opponents warn that the chemicals, which never…

Can you futureproof your career by choosing an AI-resistant degree?

Futureproofing your career with an AI-resistant degree is a tough ask, says Charlie Ball, an expert on graduate employment for Jisc, the UK’s higher education digital, data and technology agency. “What you’re trying to do is futureproof a 45-year career in a time of rapid technological change – and that’s really quite hard to do. What’s likely is that jobs that hinge a lot on human, face-to-face interaction are unlikely to be replaced.” He warns however that the discussion should focus less on identifying specif…

Temporal and cross-site validation of an AI system for self-harm detection

Adequate self-harm surveillance is a key part of suicide prevention. Our previous research demonstrated that an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system could effectively detect self-harm in emergency department triage notes. However, the system was developed using data from a single hospital, raising concerns about its generalisability. Here, we aim to validate the system prospectively and externally to better understand its portability across hospitals. We leveraged emergency department data from two Australi…
