The Effect of Increasing Age on Outcomes in Major Trauma: A Retrospective Cohort Study
1 Introduction Trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with traumatic injury being the fifth leading cause of death in older patients [1]. The literature often defines older trauma patients as greater than 65 years of age [2-4]; however, a small number of studies have a lower cut-off (> 55) [5].
Increasing use of generative artificial intelligence by teenagers
A few years ago, many products that used artificial intelligence were based on machine learning models that made predictions from large sets of example data. For example, machine learning models have been used to predict whether an X-ray shows signs of a tumour. Reference Zewe1 Recently, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models were developed, which create new data similar to the input data rather than making predictions.
Artificial intelligence and deskilling in medicine
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in medical practice for visit documentation, treatment plans and discharge summaries, 1 which are all tasks that were previously completed by the physician. There has been a rapid growth of FDA-approved artificial intelligence devices in medicine, with 1016 FDA-approved devices as of March 2025, 2 an increase from 64 devices in 2020.
Osteoporosis Risk Scores to Predict Increased Levels of Care in Older Patients Undergoing Vascular Surgery
Background Frailty has been linked to postoperative morbidity and increased care needs in older patients undergoing major vascular surgery. Osteoporosis scores measure a selection of risk factors common to osteoporosis, frailty and vascular disease and therefore may be used to support decision making in vascular patients. The aim was to investigate the association between existing osteoporosis risk scores and changes to levels of care needs after major vascular surgery.

Artificial intelligence and cybercrime: implications for individuals and the healthcare sector
The malicious use of artificial intelligence has created new types of security threat for both individuals and the healthcare sector. Although artificial intelligence is a fundamental technology of our age, it has enabled the creation of new types of large-scale cyberthreat, and artificial intelligence-based cybercrime has grown rapidly worldwide. Medical data are a prime target for cybercriminals, given the high value of stolen data.
Violence in schizophrenia: triangulating the evidence on perpetration risk
The question of the nature and magnitude of the association between schizophrenia and risk of violence perpetration has been the subject of considerable research and wider public interest. It is a complex relationship, and important to clarify for people with mental illness and their families, with implications for health policy, mental health law, criminal justice, and public mental health. It therefore requires careful, evidence-based consideration.
Artificial intelligence and increasing misinformation
Although there is widespread excitement about the creative successes and new opportunities resulting from the recent transformative technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), one result is increasing patient exposure to medical misinformation. We now live in an era of synthetic media. Text, images, audio and video information can be created or altered by generative AI models based on the data used to train the model.

Aristotle on Storytelling in User Experience
by John Geddes | 2 months ago | 10 min read The classical Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 b.c.e.) made many groundbreaking discoveries about the way people interact, masterfully breaking down a phenomenon such as public speaking into its constituent parts. Aside from his famous three appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos—the fundaments of any act of persuasion), his observations on the art of storytelling are another great gift to the fund of wisdom we can use in UX design.

Canada’s most polarized voters really, really hate Trudeau
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a Liberal fundraising event at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario, on Wednesday Dec.19, 2018. Trudeau is hitting British Columbia today as part of an outreach tour. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Lars Hagberg Maybe it’s the meanness of social media or the low bar set by Donald Trump, but politics—as Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer have both warned—is feeling nasty in the run-up to next fall’s election.

Inside Christy Clark’s Climate Change Brinksmanship
It sure looked like an effective display of brinksmanship.

Clark explained it to the cameras as a matter of fairness.

Canada’s record on finding tax evaders is dismal
Only a week after the so-called Panama Papers burst into the media spotlight early last month, the Canadian government issued a news release vowing to “crack down on tax evasion and tax avoidance.” The leak of a staggering 11.5 million documents from a Panama City law firm promised to reveal as never before the inner workings of tax havens from Switzerland to Cyprus to the British Virgin Islands—and Ottawa at least appeared to be taking decisive action.
