Background/objectives: The auditory middle-latency responses (AMLRs) assess central sensory processing beyond the brainstem and serve as a measure of sensory gating. They have clinical relevance in the diagnosis of neurological conditions. In this study, magnitude and habituation of the AMLRs were tested for sensitivity and specificity in classifying dizzy patients with vestibular migraine (VM) and post-concussive syndrome.

Because LLMs ingest massive volumes of data from the open Internet during training, they are potentially exposed to unverified medical knowledge that may include deliberately planted misinformation. Here, we perform a threat assessment that simulates a data-poisoning attack against The Pile, a popular dataset used for LLM development.

For this purpose, an analytic hierarchical process (AHP) is employed to select the optimal BRC configuration (in terms of spatial settings and footprints). The optimal BRC spatial footprint is assessed for specific rainfall conditions and BRC spatial settings by considering 5 relevant criteria: the hydrologic (Volume Reduction - VR; Peak Flow Reduction - PR) and hydraulic metrics (Node Flooding Reduction - NFR; Network Stress Reduction - NSR) and the total cost.

The objective of this study is to evaluate ChatGPT's accuracy and reliability in answering complex medical questions related to occupational health and explore the implications and limitations of AI in occupational health medicine. The study also provides recommendations for future research in this area and informs decision-makers about AI's impact on healthcare. A group of physicians was enlisted to create a dataset of questions and answers on Italian occupational medicine legislation.
