If we used the cite tag and specified it in the CSS as italic it would probably be better and take care of all book and journal/magazine titles, and the rest would probably be pure emphasis of words in text.
So how is <em> and <strong> visually different to <i> and <b>? The answer is there's no difference. <i> shows The Lancet exactly the same as <em>. And as you see in your post and this post, italics are being used and not emphasis.
