Purpose: Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) may have implications as a novel educational resource. There are differences in opinion on the best resource for the Orthopaedic In-Training Exam (OITE) as information changes from year to year. This study assesses ChatGPT's performance on the OITE for use as a potential study resource for residents.

Background: Approximately 50% of patients with congenital scoliosis will require surgical treatment to prevent further progression. Outcomes following congenital scoliosis are sparse in the literature. The purpose of this study was to identify independent risk factors associated with unplanned readmission and prolonged length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing primary surgical treatment for congenital scoliosis.

Noble element time projection chambers are a leading technology for rare event detection in physics, such as for dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay searches. Time projection chambers typically assign event position in the drift direction using the relative timing of prompt scintillation and delayed charge collection signals, allowing for reconstruction of an absolute position in the drift direction. In this paper, alternate methods for assigning event drift distance via quantification of electron diffusion in a pure high pressure xenon gas time projection chamber are explored.
