2023-08-11
(Press-News.org) Asian/Pacific Island Nursing Journal (APINJ) Editor-in-Chief: Hyochol (Brian) Ahn, PhD, MSN, MS-ECE, MS-CTS, APRN, ANP-BC, FAAN and guest editor Shu-Fen Wung, Ph.D., RN, ACNP-BC, FAAN welcome submissions to a special theme issue examining "Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT in Asian and Pacific Islander (API) Health."

Generative AI, like ChatGPT, can have many applications in health care and medicine, particularly in addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by API communities. Potential topics related to the use of generative AI in health care and nursing care specific to API health that we would consider for APINJ include:

Developing culturally responsive virtual health assistants: Virtual health assistants powered by generative AI can help to address language barriers and cultural differences in health care communication with API patients. These assistants can be trained to recognize and respond to cultural cues and provide personalized care recommendations based on the patient's cultural background. Predicting health outcomes for API patients: Generative AI can be used to analyze large amounts of health data to identify risk factors and predict health outcomes for API patients. For example, AI models could be trained to predict the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes or hypertension in API populations based on genetic and lifestyle factors. Improving nursing care for API patients: Generative AI can help nurses to provide better care to API patients by providing real-time translation services and cultural context during patient interactions. AI-powered tools can also be used to monitor patients’ vital signs and alert nurses to potential health concerns. Enhancing precision medicine for API patients: Generative AI can be used to analyze genomic data from API patients to identify specific genetic variations that are more prevalent in certain API populations. This information can be used to develop more targeted treatments and medications that are tailored to the unique needs of API patients. Promoting mental health and wellness in API communities: Generative AI can be used to develop personalized mental health interventions and treatment plans for API patients. AI models can be trained to recognize cultural nuances and provide culturally sensitive care recommendations to help improve mental health outcomes in API communities. These are just a few examples of how generative AI can be applied to health care and nursing care specific to API health. As AI technology continues to evolve, there will likely be many more opportunities to improve health care outcomes for API patients.

APINJ welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners in medicine, health care, computer science, and related fields. We encourage submissions of original research, literature reviews, and viewpoints. Submissions must be original and unpublished. Preprints are highly encouraged to be submitted for peer-review.

The deadline for submissions is December 22, 2023. All accepted manuscripts will be published as part of the APINJ special theme issue on AI & ChatGPT in Asian & Pacific Islander (API) Health.

SLU ethicists, leading scholars publish guidance for parents, physicians making medical decisions for children

2023-08-11
ST. LOUIS – How should others make decisions for pediatric patients? For decades, there has been debate in academic literature about the ethical principles that govern medical decision-making for children. In response to this, a group of leading scholars in pediatric ethics participated in a June 2022 symposium, “Best Interests and Beyond: Standards of Decision Making in Pediatrics,” at Saint Louis University. Over the course of three days, the 17 scholars debated one question – in the context of U.S. pediatric care, what moral precepts ought to guide parents and clinicians in medical decision-making for children? A group of ...

Hundred-year storms? That's how long they last on Saturn.

Hundred-year storms? Thats how long they last on Saturn.
2023-08-11
The largest storm in the solar system, a 10,000-mile-wide anticyclone called the Great Red Spot, has decorated Jupiter's surface for hundreds of years. A new study now shows that Saturn — though much blander and less colorful than Jupiter — also has long-lasting megastorms with impacts deep in the atmosphere that persist for centuries. The study was conducted by astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, who looked at radio emissions from the planet, which come from below the surface, and found long-term disruptions in the distribution ...

New concussion headset shows when it's safe to return to play

2023-08-11
A new digital headset designed to measure alterations in brain function could change decisions about how quickly an athlete is ready to return to play after a concussion. In an evaluation of the device, UC San Francisco researchers found it revealed brain changes even in athletes whose concussion symptoms had gone away, suggesting they could be playing too soon. Although not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the device could fill an important niche among athletes, clinicians, trainers and coaches, who are concerned about the long-term effects of repeated sports-related concussions. These include chronic traumatic encephalopathy, ...

CORRECTION: Outdoor air pollution may increase non-lung cancer risk in older adults

2023-08-11
*This press release was amended on August 9, 2023. Due to a mistake in interpretation of data, the previous version of the release stated the study found that NO2 exposure is associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer. The authors have confirmed that the results showed that NO2 exposure is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.   Key points: A cohort study of millions of Medicare beneficiaries found that chronic exposures to PM2.5 and NO2 over a 10-year period increased the risk of developing colorectal and prostate cancers. Even in areas with low pollution levels, researchers found substantial associations between exposures to ...

Arrays of quantum rods could enhance TVs or virtual reality devices

Arrays of quantum rods could enhance TVs or virtual reality devices
2023-08-11
Cambridge, MA – Flat screen TVs that incorporate quantum dots are now commercially available, but it has been more difficult to create arrays of their elongated cousins, quantum rods, for commercial devices. Quantum rods can control both the polarization and color of light, to generate 3D images for virtual reality devices. Using scaffolds made of folded DNA, MIT engineers have come up with a new way to precisely assemble arrays of quantum rods. By depositing quantum rods onto a DNA scaffold in a highly controlled way, the researchers can regulate their orientation, which is a key factor in determining the polarization of light emitted by the array. This makes it easier ...

In a world where annual economic losses from corrosion surpass 2.5 trillion US Dollars, the quest for corrosion-resistant alloys and protective coatings is unbroken. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly pivotal role in designing new alloys. Yet, the predictive power of AI models in foreseeing corrosion behaviour and suggesting optimal alloy formulas has remained elusive. Scientists of the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) have now developed a machine learning model that enhances the predictive accuracy by up to 15% compared to existing frameworks. This model uncovers new, but realistic corrosion-resistant alloy compositions. ...

Even treated wastewater affects our rivers

Even treated wastewater affects our rivers
2023-08-11
Effluents from wastewater treatment plants have a dual effect: Some species disappear, while others benefit. Especially certain insect orders, such as stonefly and caddisfly larvae, are decimated. Certain worms and crustaceans, by contrast, can increase in number. A team from Goethe University Frankfurt led by Daniel Enns and Dr. Jonas Jourdan has corroborated this in a comprehensive study, which has now been published in the journal Water Research. They examined 170 wastewater treatment plants in Hesse in relation to species composition. Wastewater treatment plants are ...
