Through the eyes into the brain, using artificial intelligence
CONCLUSION: Recent AI-based systems dedicated to scalable retinal imaging have opened new perspectives for the detection of brain conditions directly or indirectly affecting retinal structures. However, further validation and implementation studies are required to better understand their potential value in clinical practice.PMID:36880820 | DOI:10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022369 (Source: Ann Acad Med Singapo...)

Approach to bradyarrhythmias: A proposed algorithm
Ann Acad Med Singap. 2023 Feb;52(2):96-99. doi: 10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022411.ABSTRACTBradyarrhythmias are commonly encountered in clinical practice. While there are several electrocardiographic criteria and algorithms for tachyarrhythmias, there is no algorithm for bradyarrhythmias to the best of our knowledge. In this article, we propose a diagnostic algorithm that uses simple concepts: (1) the presence or absence of P waves, (2) the relationship between the number of P waves and QRS complexes, and (3) the regularity of time intervals (PP, PR and RR intervals). We believe this straightforward, stepwise method provide...
