Scrolling to Success: Leveraging Social Media to Highlight Wellness Culture in Orthopedic Surgery Residency Programs.

Background Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, profoundly affects interprofessional collaboration. Despite rising burnout rates, there is a paucity of research regarding the use of social media to support wellness culture, particularly among orthopedic surgery residents. Methods A list of all US orthopedic surgery residency programs was compiled through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and associated social media accounts were identified.

Inadequate Performance of ChatGPT on Orthopedic Board-Style Written Exams.

Background: Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot capable of delivering human-like responses to a seemingly infinite number of inquiries. For the technology to perform certain healthcare-related tasks or act as a study aid, the technology should have up-to-date knowledge and the ability to reason through medical information. The purpose of this study was to assess the orthopedic knowledge and reasoning ability of ChatGPT by querying it with orthopedic board-style questions.

Evaluating ChatGPT's Capabilities on Orthopedic Training Examinations: An Analysis of New Image Processing Features.

Introduction The efficacy of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) models like ChatGPT into the medical field, specifically orthopedic surgery, has yet to be fully determined. The most recent adaptation of ChatGPT that has yet to be explored is its image analysis capabilities. This study assesses ChatGPT's performance in answering Orthopedic In-Training Examination (OITE) questions, including those that require image analysis.

Thermoelectric property enhancement via pore confinement in template grown bismuth telluride nanowire arrays.

Nanostructuring of thermoelectric materials can lead to thermal-to-electrical conversion efficiencies comparable with mechanical energy conversion. Theory predicts that characteristic length scales of <10 nm are necessary to achieve high thermoelectric figures of merit (zT > 3). While sub-10 nm diameter nanowire arrays have been difficult to fabricate, we present here a novel template for sub-10 nm thermoelectric nanowire array fabrication using anodized aluminum oxide followed by silica wall coating for pore confinement.

A low power flash-FPGA based brain implant micro-system of PID control.

In this paper, we demonstrate that a low power flash FPGA based micro-system can provide a low power programmable interface for closed-loop brain implant inter- faces. The proposed micro-system receives recording local field potential (LFP) signals from an implanted probe, performs closed-loop control using a first order control system, then converts the signal into an optogenetic control stimulus pattern. Stimulus can be implemented through optoelectronic probes.

Wireless data and power transfer of an optogenetic implantable visual cortex stimulator.

In this paper, the wireless data and power transfer for a novel optogenetic visual cortex implant system was demonstrated by using pork tissue mimic in-vitro at the ISM 2.4 GHz and 13.5 MHz frequency band respectively.

Programmed evolution for optimization of orthogonal metabolic output in bacteria.

Current use of microbes for metabolic engineering suffers from loss of metabolic output due to natural selection. Rather than combat the evolution of bacterial populations, we chose to embrace what makes biological engineering unique among engineering fields - evolving materials. We harnessed bacteria to compute solutions to the biological problem of metabolic pathway optimization.

Comparative evaluation of absorbed dose estimates derived from passive dosimetry measurements to those derived from biological monitoring: validation of exposure monitoring methodologies.

Passive dosimetry (PD) methods for measuring and estimating exposure to agricultural workers (i.e., persons handling agricultural chemicals and working in treated crops) have been in use since the 1950s.

Epidemiologic studies of occupational pesticide exposure and cancer: regulatory risk assessments and biologic plausibility.

Epidemiologic studies frequently show associations between self-reported use of specific pesticides and human cancers. These findings have engendered debate largely on methodologic grounds. However, biologic plausibility is a more fundamental issue that has received only superficial attention.

Postmortem identification by means of a recovered intraocular lens.

Formal legal identification of the decomposed remains of an edentulous woman was facilitated by the postmortem recovery of an intraocular lens implant. The dimensions and dioptric power of this prosthetic lens were identical with those recorded by her ophthalmologist at the time of cataract surgery 2 years previously. On the basis of this and other circumstantial evidence, legal identification was accepted by the Coroner.

Prescheduled neonatal return transports.

In 1990, increasing numbers of neonatal transports and high occupancy rates of neonatal beds statewide motivated our team to take a closer look at how to provide our services more efficiently. The neonatal transport medical director and team coordinator developed a system that addressed problematic issues in providing back or return transports to the community hospitals. This system was devised, implemented, and adjusted to provide a more organized approach to the overtaxed system already in place.

Evaluation of agricultural worker exposure to, and absorption of, pesticides.

The evaluation of the occupational exposure of agricultural workers to pesticides is an integral part of the risk assessment for product safety and regulatory purposes. At present, there is no internationally accepted, harmonized approach to this exposure evaluation. This paper reviews the currently available methods for the measurement of exposure to, and absorption of, pesticides by workers involved in their use and in associated agricultural activities.

Biological monitoring for pesticide exposure--the role of human volunteer studies.

Predictions of human pesticide metabolism which are needed for the interpretation of biological monitoring data are frequently made from animal studies. Consequently, assumptions have to be made about the relationship between absorbed dose and metabolite excretion. The results from two human volunteer studies highlight the problems associated with extrapolating from animal studies in this way.

Occupational exposure of Sri Lankan tea plantation workers to paraquat.

Absorption of the herbicide paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) by mixer-loaders and spray operators on a Sri Lankan tea plantation was assessed over five consecutive days of spraying. Beginning on the day before spraying started and continuing for each of the five spraying days and for seven days after the last day of spraying, 24-hour urine samples were collected from each of the workers. Potential dermal exposure was assessed during further applications of paraquat on the day after the last day of urine collection.

Exposure and health assessment during application of lambda-cyhalothrin for malaria vector control in Pakistan.

Icon 10 WP insecticide, a wettable powder formulation containing 10% lambda-cyhalothrin, was evaluated for possible adverse effects on the health of spraymen and villagers during treatment of dwellings for malaria vector control. Skin sensory effects and occasional coughing and sneezing in confined spaces were the only symptoms noted by the workers resulting from the handling and spraying of the insecticide. Absorption of lambda-cyhalothrin was estimated by determining its metabolites in urine and serum.

Field evaluation of protective equipment for pesticide operators in a tropical climate.

In order to extend the practical advice and information on personal protection when using pesticides in tropical climates, a GIFAP-FAO Working Group carried out a study on protective equipment worn by pesticide workers in hot and humid conditions in Thailand. Items assessed included protective garments worn by workers mixing and loading the organophosphorus insecticide formulation Tamaron and by spraymen applying the diluted formulation for several hours per day to a cotton crop with knapsack sprayers. The mixer-loaders also wore nitrile rubber gloves and a faceshield.
