Analysis of medical malpractice liability disputes related to novel antineoplastic drugs and research on risk prevention and control strategies
ConclusionThe establishment of mechanisms to reduce the risks associated with the clinical application of NADs is warranted. Healthcare services must maintain strict adherence to the specific requirements ofGPCANADs and drug instructions and strictly grasp the indications, contraindications, usage, and dosage of drugs, and strengthen the notification and management of off-label drug use. Monitoring patients for ADRs and preparing rescue and treatment measures for high-risk drugs may serve to reduce damages related to NADs. For DILI cases, medical and appraisal institutions should use RUCAM score to assess causal relationsh...

Equipment Used for Cosmetic and Medical Tattooing
Curr Probl Dermatol. 2022;56:72-78. doi: 10.1159/000526046. Epub 2023 Jun 1.ABSTRACTThis chapter reviews our present knowledge about equipment used for cosmetic (decorative) and medical tattooing and its function with respect to installation of tattoo ink into the skin. In the following text, the word "tattooing" refers to body tattooing, permanent makeup (PMU), microblading, and medical micropigmentation. The major consumer risks related to unsafe tattoo and PMU equipment are reconsidered. Such health risks mainly include the danger of non-sterile needles or needle cartridges, cross contamination of equipment and lack of ...

Legal and Bioethical Educational Module in Saudi Board of Emergency Medicine: A Qualitative Need Assessment"
CONCLUSION: The study found that the current educational initiatives for legal and bioethical topics in SBEM are insufficient. There are no clear learning objectives, study guides, or combined practices for trainees to develop safe approaches when faced with ethical and legal challenges. A comprehensive protocol with required competencies and dedicated educators may help trainees understand Islamic ethics and jurisprudence principles for delivering culturally sensitive and patient-centered care. Further studies and needs assessments are recommended.PMID:37255849 | PMC:PMC10226544 | DOI:10.2147/AMEP.S397475 (Source: Adv Data)

Artificial intelligence tools in clinical neuroradiology: essential medico-legal aspects
AbstractCommercial software based on artificial intelligence (AI) is entering clinical practice in neuroradiology. Consequently, medico-legal aspects of using Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) become increasingly important. These medico-legal issues warrant an interdisciplinary approach and may affect the way we work in daily practice. In this article, we seek to address three major topics: medical malpractice liability, regulation of AI-based medical devices, and privacy protection in shared medical imaging data, thereby focusing on the legal frameworks of the European Union and the USA. As many of the presented concept...

Fatal cardiac air embolism after CT-guided percutaneous needle lung biopsy: medical complication or medical malpractice?
AbstractComputed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous needle biopsy of the lung is a well-recognized and relatively safe diagnostic procedure for suspicious lung masses. Systemic air embolism (SAE) is a rare complication of transthoracic percutaneous lung biopsies. Herein, we present a case of an 81-year-old man who underwent CT-guided percutaneous needle biopsy of a suspicious nodule in the lower lobe of the right lung. Shortly after the procedure, the patient coughed up blood which prompted repeat CT imaging. He was found to have a massive cardiac air embolism. The patient became unresponsive and, despite resuscitation ef...

Three-dimensional Medical Printing and Associated Legal Issues in Plastic Surgery: A Scoping Review
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open. 2023 Apr 27;11(4):e4965. doi: 10.1097/GOX.0000000000004965. eCollection 2023 Apr.ABSTRACTThree-dimensional printing (3DP) represents an emerging field of surgery. 3DP can facilitate the plastic surgeon's workflow, including preoperative planning, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative follow-up. The broad clinical application spectrum stands in contrast to the paucity of research on the legal framework of 3DP. This imbalance poses a potential risk for medical malpractice lawsuits. To address this knowledge gap, we aimed to summarize the current body of legal literature on medical 3DP in...

Looking beyond the established cut-off
Over the last decades, clinical guidelines and established cut-off have been proposed to guide the diagnosis and treatment of many congenital and acquired heart and vessels diseases and have increasingly became a part of clinical practice and potentially citable evidence for malpractice litigation [1]. However, disparities in the measurements of vessels dimensions and ventricular volumes and function are not uncommon between different imaging modalities and even within the same modality.

Letter to the editor regarding: “Malpractice litigation in elective lumbar spinal fusion: a comprehensive review of reported legal claims in the US in the past 50 years” by Zhang et al. Highlight the question in Europe
In 2022 Zhang et al. [1] reported an interesting article about the results of analysis of reported claims in United States (US) that suggest that medical malpractice litigation involving elective lumbar spine fusion is associated with expensive jury verdicts per case, with the most common alleged malpractice being intraoperative error and failure to obtain informed consent.
