Lisfranc injuries are traumas to the tarsometatarsal joint, ranging from simple capsular ruptures to complex fracture-dislocations. Overall, these injuries are rare and may be underdiagnosed due to often subtle changes in initial imaging, requiring increased attention.

 

 

Extending the Age Range in Mammography Screening: A Benefit-Risk Assessment from a Radiation Protection Perspective

Theresa Hunger, Elke Anna Nekolla, Eva Wanka-Pail et al.

Mammography screening programs (MSP) are established for women age 50 to 69 years in Germany and Europe. Some of the studies that build the evidence base for these programs also included women who were younger or older than this target population. The aim of T. Hunger and colleagues was to assess whether screening also provides more benefit than harm to women outside the originally defined age range of the German MSP.

Democratizing AI in Healthcare with Open Medical Inference (OMI): Protocols, Data Exchange, and AI Integration

Obioma Pelka, Stefan Sigle, Patrick Werner et al.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare is transforming clinical decision-making, patient outcomes, and workflows. AI inference, applying trained models to new data, is central to this evolution, with cloud-based infrastructures enabling scalable AI deployment. The Open Medical Inference (OMI) platform democratizes AI access through open protocols and standardized data formats for seamless, interoperable healthcare data exchange.
