Call for Papers: Revolutionizing Emergency Care with AI: Opportunities and Challenges

New Content ItemThe International Journal of Emergency Medicine is seeking papers on the use of AI and digital health to transform emergency medicine. AI algorithms and chatbots could help with patient triage, decision support, and monitoring. AI-powered communication tools can assist patients in navigating emergency care and post-discharge processes. However, there are also risks, including the introduction of bias, problems with replicability, and the need for explainability. Open to submissions until 15 February 2024.

FEATURED PAPER: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The current  COVID-19 pandemic has exposed existing weaknesses in public health infrastructure globally as well as the lack of preparedness and suboptimal response for such pandemic disasters, including for psychological aspects.  Both the economic hardship and the continuous media coverage of alarming news have exacerbated this effect which also includes increased domestic violence.

FEATURED ARTICLE: TENECTEPLASE VS. ALTEPLASE FOR ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

This systematic review by Neha Potla & Latha Ganti  compares the efficacy of tenecteplase vs. alteplase with regard to three outcomes: rate of symptomatic hemorrhage, functional outcome at 90 days, and reperfusion grade after thrombectomy to compare the efficacy of both thrombolytics in AIS.  The available evidence suggests that tenecteplase appears to be a better thrombolytic agent for acute ischemic stroke when compared to alteplase.
