NEJM AI is an interdisciplinary journal facilitating dialogue among stakeholders invested in using AI to transform medicine. NEJM AI intentionally pairs “pre-clinical” and clinical articles to deliver critical context to both clinicians and non-clinician researchers. The journal bridges the fast-moving developments in AI, informatics, and technology in medicine with the application of these advancements to clinical practice. NEJM AI covers the application of AI methodologies and data science to biomedical informatics, connected health, telemedicine, medical images and imaging, personalized medicine, policy and regulation, and the ethical and medicolegal implications of AI.

Adhering to the rigorous peer-review and quality standards expected from NEJM Group, NEJM AI publishes:

• Original research, including clinical trials of AI or AI assisted diagnosis or therapy, or pre-clinical with breakthrough technology, new medical AI applications, and other rigorous evaluations of medical AI.
• Datasets, Benchmarks, and Protocols, reports describing new datasets, shared benchmarks for the medical machine learning community, and reproducible or novel protocols or study designs that could be adapted for other trials.
• Case Studies, first-person account of the implementation challenges and lessons learned from a specific deployment of medical AI.
• Reviews, peer-reviewed articles of clinically-relevant new machine learning methods, emerging application, and educational topic areas that speak to both machine learning researchers and clinical audiences.
• Perspectives, cover timely, relevant topics in health care and medicine related to AI in a brief, accessible style.
• Policy Corner, longer commentary article that speaks to policy issues around medical AI from perspective of multiple stakeholders (e.g., payers, providers, and patients).
• Editorial, commentary and context for a published original article.

Some of the featured materials include:

• A Disability History of the United States
  • Covers the entirety of U.S. disability history, from pre-1492 to the present. Disability is not just the story of someone we love or the story of whom we may become; rather it is undoubtedly the story of our nation. It places the experiences of people with disabilities at the center of the American narrative. In many ways, it’s a familiar telling. In other ways, however, it is a radical repositioning of U.S. history.

From July 11th-25th, Twilight Territory by Andrew X. Pham will be available in Libby/Overdrive. Patrons can check out the ebook or audiobook with no wait times.

A sweeping first novel of love, war, and resistance in post–World War II Vietnam, by the award-winning author of Catfish and Mandala.

The peak of the hot season, 1942: The wars in Europe and Asia and the Japanese occupation have upset the uneasy balance of French Indochina. In the Vietnamese fishing village of Phan Thiet, Tuyet ekes out a living at a small storefront with her aunt Coi, her cousin Ha, and her two-year-old daughter, Anh. She can hardly remember her luxurious life in the city of Saigon, which she left just two years ago.

The day Tuyet meets Japanese major Yamazaki Takeshi is inauspicious and stifling, with no relief from the sand-stirring wind. But to her surprise, she feels not fear or wariness, but a strange kinship. Tuyet is guarded, knowing how the townspeople might whisper, yet is drawn to Takeshi’s warmth all the same. A wounded veteran with a good heart, Takeshi grows to resent the Empire for what it has taken—and the promises it has failed to keep. As the Viet Minh begin to battle the French and Takeshi risks his life for the Resistance, Tuyet and her family are drawn into the conflict, with devastating consequences.

A lushly panoramic novel, by turns gritty and profoundly moving, Twilight Territory is at once a war story and a love story that offers a fascinating perspective on Vietnam’s struggles to break free of its French colonial past. At its heart is one woman’s struggle for independence and her country’s liberation.
