Role of vaccination in patients with human monkeypox virus and its cardiovascular manifestations
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2024 Jan 4;86(3):1506-1516. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001674. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTHuman monkeypox, caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), is an emerging infectious disease with the potential for human-to-human transmission and diverse clinical presentations. While generally considered milder than smallpox, it can lead to severe cardiovascular complications. The virus primarily spreads through contact with infected animals or through human-to-human transmission. Cardiovascular involvement in human monkeypox is rare but has been associated with myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, and even fu...

Anaesthetic managements of 16 days' neonate with large occipital meningeoencephalocele in a resource-limited setting, Ethiopia: a clinical case report and review of literature
CONCLUSION: Anaesthesia management in neonates with GOM is challenging for anaesthetists in resource-limited settings because of the scarcity of different airway equipment and large masses. Another concern was to avoid pressure on the GOM due to rupture, which may result in hemodynamic instability and hypothermia. Therefore, attention should be paid to proper handling of the airway, hypothermia, and fluid loss. Generally, managing an occipital meningoencephalocele poses challenges for anaesthetists, particularly in terms of securing the airway. Despite these challenges, the authors managed with locally available resources....

Acceptability of two mobile applications to support cross-sectoral, person-centred and empowering stroke rehabilitation - a process evaluation
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors and their significant others found Mit Sygehus and Genoptræn.dk acceptable to support cross-sectoral, person-centred and empowering stroke rehabilitation, however acceptability declined throughout the rehabilitation process. Further investigations are required to determine how cognitive rehabilitation can play a greater role in app-supported stroke rehabilitation and how the need for more long-term follow-up can be supported.PMID:38466794 | PMC:PMC10930108 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2302979 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

A systematic review of artificial intelligence-powered (AI-powered) chatbot intervention for managing chronic illness
CONCLUSIONS: The reviewed studies suggest promising acceptance of AI-powered chatbots for self-managing chronic conditions. However, limited evidence on their efficacy due to insufficient technical documentation calls for future studies to provide detailed descriptions and prioritize patient safety. These chatbots employ natural language processing and multimodal interaction. Subsequent research should focus on evidence-based evaluations, facilitating comparisons across diverse chronic health conditions.PMID:38466897 | PMC:PMC10930147 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2302980 (Source: Annals of Medicine)
