Legal and Ethical Consideration in Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Who Takes Responsibility?

Nithesh Naik, B. M. Zeeshan Hameed, Dasharathraj K Shetty et al. · 14 Mar 2022

The legal and ethical issues that confront society due to Artificial Intelligence (AI) include privacy and surveillance, bias or discrimination, and potentially the philosophical challenge is the role of human judgment. Concerns about newer digital technologies becoming a new source of inaccuracy and data breaches have arisen as a result of its use. Mistakes in…

Current Concepts in the Management of Necrotizing Fasciitis

Evangelos P. Misiakos, George Bagias, Paul Patapis et al. · 29 Sep 2014

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe, rare, potentially lethal soft tissue infection that develops in the scrotum and perineum, the abdominal wall, or the extremities. The infection progresses rapidly, and septic shock may ensue; hence, the mortality rate is high (median mortality 32.2%). Prognosis becomes poorer in the presence of co-morbidities, such as diabetes mellitus,…

Emerging Applications of Bedside 3D Printing in Plastic Surgery

Michael P. Chae, Warren M. Rozen, Paul G. McMenamin et al. · 16 Jun 2015

Modern imaging techniques are an essential component of preoperative planning in plastic and reconstructive surgery. However, conventional modalities, including three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions, are limited by their representation on 2D workstations. 3D printing, also known as rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing, was once the province of industry to fabricate models from a computer-aided design (CAD) in…

Survey Fatigue During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Analysis of Neurosurgery Survey Response Rates

Rosaline de Koning, Abdullah Egiz, Jay Kotecha et al. · 12 Aug 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a surge in research activity while restricting data collection methods, leading to a rise in survey-based studies. Anecdotal evidence suggests this increase in neurosurgical survey dissemination has led to a phenomenon of survey fatigue, characterized by decreased response rates and reducing the quality of data. This paper aims to…

Cancer Stem Cell Hierarchy in Glioblastoma Multiforme

Amy Bradshaw, Agadha Wickremsekera, Swee T. Tan et al. · 15 Apr 2016

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive tumor that typically exhibits treatment failure with high mortality rates, is associated with the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) within the tumor. CSCs possess the ability for perpetual self-renewal and proliferation, producing downstream progenitor cells that drive tumor growth. Studies of many cancer types have identified CSCs using specific…
