AI augmentation of operational workflows under human oversight improves oncology trial feasibility and patient identification, with tools for enrollment screening and monitoring now implemented at select cancer centres.

On 2026-08-07, a Review in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology described how AI enabled by electronic health record datasets and machine learning is being applied across pre-trial design, conduct, and post-trial inference in oncology. It reported that the most immediate evidence-supported uses are operational workflows under human oversight, including patient identification, eligibility assessment, data extraction, and trial monitoring, now implemented at select cancer centres.

Researchers applied a large language model to analyze 125 compensated orthodontic cases and identified that most harms were multifactorial and largely avoidable, creating a foundation for future safety initiatives.

Researchers retrospectively reviewed 125 orthodontic claims approved for compensation by the Danish Dental Compensation Association from September 2019 to August 2024. They applied Eindhoven incident analysis and AI-assisted qualitative analysis using a large language model to identify root causes and rate perceived avoidability on a 6-point scale.

An ensemble combining Random Forest and Multi-Layer Perceptron improved genomic prediction of residual feed intake in 220 UK Holstein cows to R2=0.39 and RMSE=0.086, outperforming conventional gBLUP.

Using genomic data from 220 UK Holstein cows, researchers tested Random Forest and Multi-Layer Perceptron models against conventional gBLUP for predicting residual feed intake, a feed-efficiency trait. The ensemble of RF and MLP achieved the best reported performance with R2=0.39 and RMSE=0.086, while SHAP analysis identified distinct and overlapping candidate genes.

Personalized GPT-4 writing suggestions often aligned more closely with participating writers’ styles and helped some writers develop ideas, maintain their writing flow and reduce the work required to revise mismatched suggestions.

A mixed-methods study examined how 19 professional writers and 30 avid readers understood authenticity in writing produced with AI assistance. Writers completed short writing tasks using both personalized and non-personalized GPT-4 suggestions, while readers evaluated passages written independently or with either form of AI support.

In patients with LAD myocardial bridging, longer bridging length increased risk of abnormal FFRCT, with a larger effect in females, and females with isolated bridging had more pronounced distal hemodynamic compromise.

A retrospective study of 300 patients with left anterior descending artery myocardial bridging and 104 controls used an AI-based platform, Shukun-FFRCT, to obtain whole-vessel and segmental FFRCT values and relate them to bridging morphology and sex.

Use of the same ambient AI scribes was associated with increased length of notes and no change in physician productivity measured by billing metrics.

A rapid review published April 29 2025 synthesized 6 real-world studies of digital scribes using ambient listening and generative AI from 1450 screened records spanning academic health systems, community settings, and outpatient practices. Across observational, case report, cohort, and survey designs, authors reported decreased self-reported documentation times with associated increased length of notes.

Despite higher scores, the evaluated large language models have identified limitations that prohibit them from replacing human experts for triage in overcrowded emergency departments.

Researchers designed the Skyer benchmark to evaluate fifteen large language models on 55 realistic pediatric emergency department scenarios using a weighting system for over-triage and under-triage plus three repeat runs for consistency. By the publication date of July 11 2026, ChatGPT-4.5-preview and Gemini-2.5_05-06 had shown 77% and 74% accuracy with mean weights of 377.5 and 365 out of 550, compared to 64% and 253.5 for human experts.
