The synthesis, electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical, photophysical and light induced electron transfer reactions in two new anthanthrene quinodimethanes have been studied and analyzed in the context of dynamic electrochemistry. Their properties are dependent on the interconversion between folded and twisted forms, which are separated by a relatively small energy range, thus allowing to explore their interconversion by variable temperature measurements. The photophysics of these molecules is mediated by a diradical excited state with a twisted structure that habilitates rapid intersystem crossing.

- Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is gaining popularity due to its benefits like smaller incisions and quicker recovery times, but online information about it often exceeds readable levels for patients.
- A study assessed the responses from ChatGPT to 15 frequently asked questions about MISS, focusing on clinical appropriateness and readability as judged by three neurosurgeons.
- Results showed that all generated responses had readability scores above the recommended levels for patient education, indicating they were difficult for average patients to understand, particularly for intraoperative questions.
Background: Understanding genetic-metabolite associations has translational implications for informing cardiovascular risk assessment. Interrogating functional genetic variants enhances our understanding of disease pathogenesis and the development and optimization of targeted interventions.
Methods: In this study, a total of 187 plasma metabolite levels were profiled in 4974 individuals of European ancestry of the GCAT| Genomes for Life cohort.
Article Synopsis
- There has been a growing number of cervical fusion surgeries in the U.S., but there's a lack of research on how well surgeons follow evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines, particularly as patients turn to large language models (LLMs) for decision-making assistance.* -
- An observational study tested four LLMs—Bard, BingAI, ChatGPT-3.5, and ChatGPT-4—against the 2023 North American Spine Society (NASS) cervical fusion guidelines, and found that none fully adhered, with only ChatGPT-4 and Bing Chat achieving 60% compliance.* -
- The findings suggest a need for better training of LLMs on clinical guidelines and highlight the necessity of
Background: The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT has introduced significant advancements in various surgical disciplines. These developments have led to an increased interest in the utilization of LLMs for Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding in surgery. With CPT coding being a complex and time-consuming process, often exacerbated by the scarcity of professional coders, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions to enhance coding efficiency and accuracy.
