Medical education and physician training in the era of artificial intelligence.
With the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-powered chatbots, the landscape of medicine and healthcare is on the brink of significant transformation. This perspective delves into the prospective influence of AI on medical education, residency training and the continuing education of attending physicians or consultants. ⋯ We differentiate between essential knowledge for all physicians, specialised insights for clinician-scientists and mastery-level proficiency for clinician-computer scientists. With the transformative potential of AI in healthcare and service delivery, it is poised to reshape the pedagogy of medical education and residency training.

Migraine and atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Patients with migraines, particularly those with auras, may present with stroke. Atrial fibrillation is a known risk factor for stroke. With common pathophysiological factors between migraines and atrial fibrillation, we aimed to clarify the association between migraine and atrial fibrillation in this systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the overall prevalence of atrial fibrillation in patients with migraine was low. Further studies are needed to clarify this relationship.

Outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrests during and after office hours in a single tertiary centre in Singapore.
In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a significant healthcare burden with a paucity of data in Singapore. Various factors, including time of cardiac arrest, affect survival from acute resuscitation. ⋯ The results of this observational study did not show an association between the timing of cardiac arrest and the rate of ROSC or 90-day survival.
