Predictive analytics have emerged as a powerful tool in cardiology, revolutionizing how patient care is delivered by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms. Healthcare professionals can now forecast the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular diseases with unprecedented accuracy. This breakthrough technology possesses the ability to fundamentally transform the field of cardiology, facilitating early detection, personalized treatment methodologies, and improving patient outcomes. The utilization of predictive analytics based on AI and ML represents a significant advancement that can optimize resource allocation, enhance clinical decision-making, and most importantly, benefit those affected by heart conditions. As the technology continues to grow more sophisticated through ongoing research and development, its full potential to revolutionize cardiovascular medicine and benefit patients worldwide has yet to be fully realized.

The objective of this paper is to discuss bidirectional innovation sharing between high-income countries (HICs) and low-income countries and middle-income countries (LMICs) in otolaryngology surgery. The authors aim to highlight several high-value, context-appropriate innovations in otolaryngology care that have been developed in a tertiary hospital in Rwanda and discuss their safety and efficacy compared to the standard of care. Five surgeons (three Rwandan surgeons, two United States surgeons with longitudinal experience in Rwanda) provided their recommendations for high-value innovations currently being employed in their experience at a tertiary hospital in Rwanda. Otolaryngologists provided feedback on the utility, safety, and efficacy of ten ‘innovations’ that aim to optimize resource utilization and improve access to otolaryngology care. The authors emphasize the need for tailored, context-appropriate solutions in surgical care and the importance of research and evaluation to ensure the safety and efficacy of LMIC innovations. The authors also highlight the potential for HICs to learn from LMICs in terms of high-value and environmentally sustainable surgical practices. Further research is needed to guide national health systems in prioritizing their infrastructure, equipment, and training needs for scaling up otolaryngology services. Our review highlights the importance of bidirectional learning in surgical innovation and the potential for high-value innovations to improve surgical care in LMICs.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a condition that affects some women after giving birth, characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and emotional distress. Around 30% of Pakistani women suffer from PPD and although multiple treatment options are available, none of these are feasible for Pakistan, a lower-middle-income country with a subpar healthcare system. In August 2023, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Zurzuvae (zuranolone), the first oral medication for the treatment of PPD. As a low-cost, self-administered oral drug, independent of the need for a healthcare professional, Zuranolone emerges as an efficacious and long-term approach to address PPD in Pakistan.
