Latest AI and machine learning research in preventive care for healthcare professionals.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Preoperative lower-extremity venous thrombosis (LEVT) is frequently overlooked in women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery, despite its potential impact on perioperative outcomes. Conventional risk tools, including the Caprini score and D-dimer, show limited performance in this population, and the true prevalence of occult preoperative LEVT remains uncertai...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is seen as a potential solution to alleviate workforce demands arising from growing use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in prostate cancer (PCa) screening. We aimed to synthesize the evidence on use of AI in prostate MRI readings in asymptomatic men in PCa screening settings. METHODS: We conducted a rapid scoping review following PRISMA-Sc...

BACKGROUND: Patients and their families without medical knowledge may find professional health care information difficult to understand. The use of la...
BACKGROUND: Echocardiography is a fundamental imaging modality for the diagnosis of heart disease (HD), but its interpretation remains operator-depend...
OBJECTIVE: Inadequate bowel preparation impairs the accuracy of colonoscopy and increases the burden on patients and healthcare systems. Consequently,...
This century, global human health has been marked by a seemingly increasing list of outbreaks and epidemics caused by RNA viruses - masters of rapid e...
BACKGROUND: Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening; however, it is limited by a substantial adenoma miss rate. We aimed to p...
BACKGROUND: Melanoma outcomes differ across countries, income settings, and skin tones, reflecting not only variable environmental and genetic risks b...
AIMS: Heart failure is prevalent; however, there is no cost-effective screening option. Against formal echocardiography, we assessed the diagnostic pe...
