A new scoping review of 71 studies shows that AR/MR use may improve surgical performance and knowledge acquisition, with mixed cognitive/confidence effects. However, increased costs and the need for advanced training remain as limitations. #SNCCM link.springer.com/article/10.100…

#OpenAccess JOMS review: how to operationalize LLMs for clinical research data extraction from free-text EHRs. Introduces the "PRCAO" pipeline and a multidimensional evaluation framework beyond accuracy. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New in Journal of Medical Systems: graph attention meets EEG emotion recognition. Review covers static→dynamic graphs, subject-dependent vs subject-independent setups, and calls for standardized preprocessing + validation for reproducibility. #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1007/s10916…
