  1. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly transforming rehabilitation research, from predictive models of gait and recovery to AI-driven robotics and tele-rehabilitation systems. Such work promises more personalized therapy, but it also raises a question about fully disclosing AI tools in research . Despite the hype, a recent study shows that AI involvement in medical research is often underreported. In a systematic review of 65 clinical trials involving AI,only 10 explicitly mentioned that they used AI, and many AI-specific details were missing[1]. These findings suggest that there is a wide transparency gap. Some authors simply may not realize that standard reporting guidelines exist, and others may resist publishing code or details of AI usage. Resnik and Hosseini (2025) reported that some publishers have different and sometimes contradictory policies on AI disclosure [2]. So, without clear directives, many investigators share minimal information. However, whatever the reason is, if the methodology isn’t fully reported, it can’t be independently verified or reproduced. Failing to declare AI methods is not a mere editorial oversight; it poses real risks to science and patients. From a scientific standpoint, transparency is essential for reproducibility. Finally, not disclosing AI use can backfire academically. Many journals and professional societies now recognize that using AI (even for writing or image generation)can raise questions of authorship and ethics. The ICMJE updated its guidelines to address AI explicitly, noting that manuscripts must disclose information on how work conducted with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI)technology [3]. So, the publishers are moving toward mandatory disclosure: if you used AI in any substantive way, you must tell readers. Rehabilitation research must get ahead of this curve rather than be caught unprepared. However, merely having guidelines is not enough; they must be adopted. As noted, several rehabilitation journals have not issued AI-specific author instructions. Specialty fields may assume general reporting standards suffice, but complexity demands explicit mention. We believe The Rehabilitation Journal and peer publications will adopt and consider revising their policies and submission checklists to explicitly ask about the use of any AI tools in this study. If so, describe in detail. Without these directives, underreporting is likely to continue. By embracing clear guidelines and ethical norms today, we can use AI’s potential to improve rehabilitation without compromising the integrity or equity of our science.

  2. RESUMO Introdução: Os transtornos mentais são definidos como sendo síndromes caracterizadas por uma perturbação clinicamente expressiva na cognição, na regulação emocional ou no comportamento de um indivíduo, que refletem uma disfunção nos processos psicológicos, biológicos ou de desenvolvimento subjacentes ao funcionamento mental. Estes estão frequentemente associados ao sofrimento ou às incapacidades. Sabe-se que uma das características marcantes de determinados transtornos está relacionada à cronicidade dos mesmos, o que reduz a possiblidade de cura e levanta a discussão a respeito do controle dos sintomas destes para a manutenção da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos que deles sofrem. Uma intervenção pouco associada, mas relevante, se for analisado o estado dos usuários crônicos em saúde mental, são os cuidados paliativos e suas ações paliativas que não buscam por cura, mas por oferecer o máximo de conforto possível ao usuário desde o diagnóstico até o seu último dia de vida. Objetivo: Reunir e analisar informações a respeito da psiquiatria paliativa e seus benefícios aos pacientes com transtornos mentais. Metodologia: Foram avaliados artigos publicados em revistas indexadas nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), National Library of Medicine/NLM (MEDLINE) e National Library of Medicine/NLM (PUBMED), além de sites oficiais como o Ministério da Saúde do Brasil e a Organização Mundial da Saúde, no período de 2014 a 2024. Resultados e discussão: Após busca foram encontrados 33 artigos relacionados ao tema proposto. Foi observado que a psiquiatria paliativa abrange uma ampla gama de questões, incluindo condições de saúde mental amplamente conhecidas, como ansiedade ou depressão, doenças mentais graves refratárias ao tratamento, cuidados neuropaliativos e carga de sintomas em vários níveis. Além disso, aborda problemas éticos e psicossociais, sofrimento psicológico, personalidade, desejo e vontade de morrer, dignidade, solidão, isolamento social, bem como psicofarmacologia. E que esses cuidados seriam vantajosos e de fundamental importância aos pacientes com doenças mentais graves. Conclusão: Diante das novas perspectivas para o cuidado em saúde mental de uma maneira cada vez mais humanizada, os artigos evidenciaram os benefícios da psiquiatria paliativa e sua importância na melhora da qualidade de vida dos pacientes com transtornos mentais graves. Entretanto, foi observado ainda que muitas barreiras precisam ser vencidas para garantir o atendimento de qualidade para o grupo em questão. Palavras chave: Cuidados Paliativos, Psiquiatria Paliativa, Benefícios ABSTRACT Introduction: Mental disorders are defined as syndromes characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotional regulation or behavior, which reflect a dysfunction in the psychological, biological or developmental processes underlying mental functioning. These are often associated with suffering or disabilities. It is known that one of the striking characteristics of certain disorders is related to their chronicity, which reduces the possibility of a cure and raises the discussion about controlling their symptoms to maintain the quality of life of individuals who suffer from them. A little associated but relevant intervention, if the state of chronic users in mental health is analyzed, is palliative care and its palliative actions that do not seek a cure, but to offer the maximum possible comfort to the user from diagnosis until their last day of life. Objective: Gather and analyze information regarding palliative psychiatry and its benefits for patients with mental disorders. Methodology: Articles published in indexed journals in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), National Library of Medicine/NLM (MEDLINE), and National Library of Medicine/NLM (PUBMED) databases were evaluated, in addition to official sites such as the Ministry of Health of Brazil and the World Health Organization, covering the period from 2014 to 2024. Results and Discussion: After completing the data collection phase, 33 relevant articles were identified for analysis of the proposed theme. It has been noted that palliative psychiatry encompasses a wide range of issues, including widely known mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, severe mental illnesses refractory to treatment, neuropalliative care, and symptom burden at various levels. Furthermore, it addresses ethical and psychosocial problems, psychological suffering, personality, desire and desire to die, dignity, loneliness, social isolation, as well as psychopharmacology. And that this care would be advantageous and of fundamental importance to patients with serious mental illnesses. Conclusion: Given the new perspectives for mental health care in an increasingly humanized way, the articles highlighted the benefits of palliative psychiatry and its importance in improving the quality of life of patients with serious mental dis

  3. The integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) represents a significant advancement towards achieving more natural and effective communication between humans and robots. This research explores the application of state-of-the-art NLP techniques to enhance HRI, focusing on improving robots' abilities to understand and generate human language. Key components of our approach include advanced speech recognition, natural language understanding (NLU), dialogue management, and natural language generation (NLG). We designed and implemented an HRI system that leverages models such as BERT for language understanding and GPT-3 for generating contextually appropriate responses. Our methodology involves integrating these NLP models with a robotics platform, ensuring real-time interaction capabilities while maintaining a high level of accuracy and context awareness. The system was evaluated through a series of user studies, measuring performance metrics such as accuracy, latency, and user satisfaction. Results indicate that our NLP-enhanced HRI system significantly improves the quality of interactions, demonstrating superior understanding and responsiveness compared to traditional systems. This paper discusses the implementation challenges, including computational constraints and ambiguity resolution, and provides insights into user feedback and system performance. Future work will focus on enhancing context management, exploring multimodal interaction, and addressing ethical considerations in deploying advanced HRI systems. Our findings underscore the potential of NLP to transform human-robot communication, paving the way for more intuitive and effective robotic assistants in various domains.
