Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: The rapid integration of large language models into medical publishing offers considerable potential for improving drafting efficiency but simultaneously raises substantial concerns regarding research integrity, accountability, and the reliability of the scientific record. Recent incidents in which artificial intelligence (AI) systems were listed as coauthors have prompted urgent regulatory revisions. In this review, we identify a global consensus that strictly prohibits AI authorship, as algorithms lack both moral agency and legal accountability. Transparency has emerged as an essential requirement, and undisclosed AI use is increasingly regarded as a form of ethical misconduct. Key risks include “hallucinations” (notably citation fabrication), algorithmic bias, and potential violations of privacy regulations (e.g., the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) when protected health information is processed through cloud-based platforms. The analysis indicates that rigid prohibitions are operationally unenforceable, supporting instead a “human stewardship” model in which AI functions as a drafting scaffold subjected to rigorous human verification. AI represents a lasting transformation in medical writing that necessitates a shift from simple prohibition to structured governance. To preserve epistemic validity, we propose a framework built on task segmentation, mandatory cross-referencing of claims, and data sovereignty. Ultimately, AI must remain a transparent assistive tool, with full responsibility for the manuscript residing exclusively with the human investigator.

Medical research has become an important part of providing care to patients. Case reports published in medical journals can communicate information to the medical community about rare or unreported features, conditions, complications, or interventions. Case reports are generally short, focusing on key components such as a summary and introduction, case presentation, and discussion. Authors now have access to free, continuously updated case reports of different types from multiple journals. This review introduces the process and mechanisms for how and when to prepare a case report. We briefly review the editorial process of each of these complementary journals, along with author anecdotes, hoping to inspire authors to write and continue writing case reports; and discusses the essentials of a case report, aiming to provide guidelines for improving medical writing skills.
