“…Currently, popular forms of nicotine intake are substitutes for conventional cigarettes, including nicotine water pipes, chewing tobacco, snuff, kretek, bidi, and the increasingly popular electronic (e-)cigarettes and heated tobacco products [9]. E-cigarettes, or electronic nicotine delivery systems, are devices that heat a liquid, known as e-liquid, to approximately 100 to 250°C, producing an aerosol typically containing nicotine and other additives [1,10,11].…”

Background The effects of cigarette smoking on the health of active smokers and passive smokers have long been known, in contrast to the effects of alternative forms of nicotine intake that are gaining popularity. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of smoking traditional cigarettes and alternative forms of nicotine intake on the functional state of the respiratory system of smokers and non-smokers. Material/Methods Study participants (n=60) were divided into 3 groups: non-smokers (control group), cigarette smokers, and nicotine alternative users. Respiratory function testing (spirometry), forced oscillation technique, and measurement of respiratory muscle strength (PImax, PEmax) were performed. All of the above respiratory function tests were performed in accordance with European Respiratory Society and American Thoracic Society recommendations. Results Smokers and those using alternative forms of nicotine intake had significantly higher values, including resistance at 5 Hz% and 11 Hz%, among others. Conclusions Smokers and users of alternative forms of nicotine are characterized by reduced flow through the small bronchioles, as evidenced by a reduction in maximal expiratory flow at 25% of vital capacity. Smokers and users of alternative forms of nicotine have higher resistance values at the height of small and medium bronchioles. Assessment method of technical forced oscillation parameters is simple to perform to detect early airway changes and is an important element in the early diagnosis of changes in smokers. The correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between age of smoking initiation/use of alternative forms of nicotine and changes in mid bronchial resistance.

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense promise for revolutionizing emergency medicine, expediting diagnosis and treatment decisions. This review explores AI’s wide-ranging applications in emergency care, ranging from managing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to diagnosing fractures, spine injuries, stroke, and pulmonary embolisms, and even assisting in search and rescue missions with snake robots. In OHCA cases, AI aids in early detection, survival prediction, and ECG waveform classification, bolstering prehospital care efficiency. AI-powered digital assistants like the AI4EMS platform optimize diagnosis and patient prioritization, reducing overlooked cases of cardiac arrest and improving response times. Furthermore, AI algorithms enhance the diagnosis of conditions such as pneumothorax, pulmonary emphysema, and fractures by analysing medical images with exceptional accuracy, often outperforming human experts. In stroke and pulmonary embolism, AI expedites diagnosis through automated imaging analysis, enabling swift treatment. AI may enhance triage methods with independent systems, improving patient sharing and treatment quality while minimizing infection risks, especially during pandemics. Medical professionals generally welcome AI triage systems, acknowledging their potential to enhance healthcare efficiency. It is important to understand the scope of development of AI in order to make its application beneficial.
