TOG Topics List


This post is about the TOG topics list with links starting from 2012 till October 2024. The download links to the 'free access' articles have been provided. All you have to do is to click the specific topic and the article will be open in a new window.

My purpose in sharing it with you all is to give an idea about 'organising your study material' in a way to save your precious time. This is a practical answer to a  frequently asked question, “What are the TOG articles in a specific year?”

You need a subscription to access the articles for which no links are given. After a specific time, the article becomes free to access. The list will make sure that you get all the important articles. You must add to this list whenever a new TOG issue is published.

All the best.

    Artificial Intelligence in Health Care: Revolutionizing Obstetrics and Gynecology

    Introduction
    • AI Definition: Refers to machines designed to mimic human intelligence.
    • Tasks AI can perform: From basic ones like reading to more complex ones like self-driving cars and generating human-like text (e.g., ChatGPT).
    • Focus in Healthcare: AI could greatly improve patient care but needs careful implementation and oversight.
    AI in Health Care: Key Areas
    • Not a New Concept: Early medical AI models like MYCIN (1970s) were used for diagnosing infections.
    • Recent Advancements: AI is now used in areas like:
      • Medical Imaging: Helps interpret X-rays, MRI scans, etc.
      • Telemedicine: Allows remote patient consultations.
      • Genomics: Aids in understanding genetic disorders.
      • Surgery: Robotic assistance in complex procedures.

    Potential areas of AI in medicine

    Clinician-facing

    Patient-facing

    Non-clinical

    Diagnostic programs

    e.g. CTG interpretation

    Symptom tracking

    e.g. in chronic disease control

    Administrative tasks

    e.g. appointment scheduling

    Treatment optimisation

    e.g. antibiotic selection

    Pain management

    e.g. in neuropathic pain

    Medical education

    e.g. virtual reality training

    Image interpretation

    e.g. X-ray screening

    Medical chatbots

    e.g. patient triage apps

    Systematic review synthesis

    e.g. abstract screening

    Robotic-assisted surgery

    Telemedicine

    Drug discovery


    Non-Clinical Roles of AI in Medicine
    • Medical Education: Virtual training programs for students.
    • Research: Speeds up drug discovery and testing.
    • Patient Access to Health Data: Tools like health apps and wearables let patients track their own health, promoting personalized care.
    How AI Works in Healthcare
    • Pattern Recognition: AI identifies patterns in large datasets to support decisions.
    • Supervised Learning: AI learns from data labeled by humans (e.g., a dataset of images labeled as "cancerous" or "healthy").
    • Real-World Example: AI can analyze cardiotocography (CTG) readings in obstetrics to detect fetal distress.
