Nearly a decade later, Dow c...Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/borderline-personalitys-quiet-revolution-evidence-has-2026a1000umihttps://www.rutgers.edu/news/nursing-graduate-welcomes-twins-few-months-graduationElvia Vargas received unexpected news just as she was entering the most rigorous stretch of her nursing degree program—news that might have derailed any other student.Last summer, she learned she was pregnant with twins. But after years of balancing a cleaning business, science prerequisites, clinical training, and raising her children, she kept going.This month she will make the trip from her Pennsauken home before dawn to SHI Stadium in Piscataway to attend Commencement 2026 celebrating her gr...Mon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://www.rutgers.edu/news/nursing-graduate-welcomes-twins-few-months-graduationhttps://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/teen-cannabis-use-tied-increase-serious-mental-illness-2026a10005qnCannabis use in adolescence was associated with a significantly greater likelihood of developing serious psychiatric disorders — particularly psychosis and bipolar disorder — in early adulthood compared to no cannabis use, a large longitudinal cohort study found.Researchers analyzing electronic health record data from nearly 500,000 adolescents found that teens who reported past-year cannabis use were twice as likely to be diagnosed with psychotic or bipolar disorders as those who did not use ca...Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/teen-cannabis-use-tied-increase-serious-mental-illness-2026a10005qnhttps://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/artificial-intelligence-trial-whos-liable-when-clinical-2026a10002tkMargaret Lozovatsky, MD, FAMIA, has spent years helping health systems adopt digital tools designed to improve patient care. As a pediatric hospitalist, she has also seen what can go wrong. In one case, a predictive artificial intelligence (AI) model flagged a healthy infant as having an 89% mortality risk — not because the child was critically ill, but because the algorithm had never been designed or tested for pediatric patients.Failures like this have raised alarms as AI becomes more deeply e...Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/artificial-intelligence-trial-whos-liable-when-clinical-2026a10002tkhttps://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/ai-psychosis-what-physicians-should-know-about-emerging-2025a100104z?form=fpfA surge in reports of psychosis-like symptoms linked to intensive chatbot use has prompted an urgent effort by researchers, physicians, and technology developers to understand how these tools may affect psychiatric vulnerabilities and how best to reduce risk.The phenomenon, often referred to as “ChatGPT psychosis” or “AI psychosis,” remains loosely defined. There is no formal diagnosis, and empirical data remain scarce. Case descriptions typically involve grandiose, paranoid, religious, or roman...Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/ai-psychosis-what-physicians-should-know-about-emerging-2025a100104z?form=fpfhttps://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/remote-patient-monitoring-how-stay-right-side-oversight-2025a1000psx?form=fpfWhen remote patient monitoring (RPM) surged during the pandemic, the appeal was clear: Give physicians real-time insights and intervene early to prevent complications.
