AI Diagnostics in Physical Therapy: Attitudes, Barriers, and Clinical Implications
Introduction: AI in a hands-on field Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming many corners of healthcare, yet physical therapy has been slower to adopt AI-powered diagnostics compared with some medical specialties. Physical therapists (PTs) traditionally rely on hands-on assessments, patient history, and nuanced clinical reasoning to determine diagnoses, prognoses, and treatment plans. As AI tools mature—from…

Attitudes of Physical Therapists Toward AI Diagnostics: Barriers, Enablers, and Clinical Implications
Overview: AI Diagnostics and Physical Therapy Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping many medical disciplines, yet physical therapy has unique considerations. Unlike fields that rely heavily on imaging or laboratory data, physical therapy emphasizes hands-on assessments, functional outcomes, and individualized patient engagement. As AI-powered diagnostic and decision-support tools begin to surface in musculoskeletal care, physical therapists…

Developing and Validating a Machine Learning Model to Predict Heart Failure Risk in Chinese Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Overview Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a major public health challenge in China, affecting a substantial portion of the adult population and acting as an independent risk factor for heart failure (HF). Recent work in this field focuses on leveraging machine learning (ML) to improve risk stratification and guide early interventions. This article summarizes…

Endoscopic Intervention in Renal Failure with Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Efficacy and Predictive Modeling
Introduction Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) represents a critical challenge in patients with renal insufficiency. Renal impairment complicates hemostasis, alters pharmacokinetics of medications, and can influence the success rates of endoscopic interventions. This article reviews the efficacy of endoscopy in this high‑risk population, identifies disease severity thresholds where intervention may fail to reduce mortality, and describes…

Pan-Cancer Prognosis AI Model Boosts Accuracy Across Cancers
Introduction: A New Era in Pan-Cancer Prognosis Recent advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping how clinicians predict cancer outcomes. A multimodal AI model named MICE (Multimodal data Integration via Collaborative Experts) has demonstrated notable improvements in pan-cancer prognosis prediction. By integrating pathology images, genomics, and clinical data, MICE shows strong generalizability across 30 cancer types,…

AI in Rare Hematologic Diagnosis: How Large Language Models Perform and Shape Physician Decision-Making
Overview Advances in large language models (LLMs) are reshaping how clinicians approach rare hematologic diseases. A combined retrospective and prospective study from a Chinese medical center evaluated the diagnostic performance of seven publicly available LLMs—some with chain-of-thought (CoT) capabilities—using deidentified admission records. The study also tested whether presenting the models’ outputs to physicians could improve…
