As e-scooters have become common modes of transportations in urban environments, riding e-scooters has become a common mechanism of injury. This study examines the relationship between when riders are using these devices (i.e. day of week, and time of the day) and injury incidence based on data from a large U.S. city. ⋯ E-Scooter injury incidence varies by the time of day. The time of day in which a person rides an e-scooter can have a significant impact on the likelihood that the person will sustain an injury.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integral in clinical practice, such as during imaging tasks associated with the diagnosis and evaluation of blunt chest trauma (BCT). Due to significant advances in imaging-based deep learning, recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of AI in the diagnosis of BCT, with a focus on rib fractures, pulmonary contusion, hemopneumothorax and others, demonstrating significant clinical progress. ⋯ Here, we provide a review of the available evidence surrounding the potential utility of AI in BCT, and additionally identify the challenges impeding its development. This review offers insights on how to optimize the role of AI in the diagnostic evaluation of BCT, which can ultimately enhance patient care and outcomes in this critical clinical domain.
