Both Patients and Plastic Surgeons Prefer Artificial Intelligence-Generated Microsurgical Information.

Background:  With the growing relevance of artificial intelligence (AI)-based patient-facing information, microsurgical-specific online information provided by professional organizations was compared with that of ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) and assessed for accuracy, comprehensiveness, clarity, and readability.

Methods:  Six plastic and reconstructive surgeons blindly assessed responses to 10 microsurgery-related medical questions written either by the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM) or ChatGPT based on accuracy, comprehensiveness, and clarity. Surgeons were asked to choose which source provided the overall highest-quality microsurgical patient-facing information.

Intratemporal facial nerve neurofibroma causing facial paralysis in an infant: Case report and review of the literature.

This article describes the first recorded case of intratemporal neurofibroma in an infant. A literature review of all other existing cases of intratemporal neurofibroma is performed, finding that the majority of cases involve multiple segments and can be found in the mastoid segment most often. Most common symptoms described included facial paralysis, otalgia, and conductive hearing loss, respectively.

Development and Implementation of a Longitudinal Global Acute Care and Systems Strengthening Program.

Background: Increasing access to safe, timely, and affordable acute care in low- and middle-income countries is a worldwide priority. Longitudinal curricula on systems of acute care have not been previously described.

Objectives: The authors aimed to develop a novel four-year longitudinal curriculum for medical students addressing systems development across multiple acute care specialties.

Development of an Open-Access Webinar Series on Pathways for Global Surgery Engagement for Applicants to US Residency Programs.

Background: Global surgery (GS) training pathways in residency are unclear and vary by specialty and program. Furthermore, information on these pathways is not always accessible. To address this gap, we produced a collection of open-access webinars for senior medical students focused on identifying GS training pathways during residency.

Ocular Findings in the 16p11.2 Microdeletion Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.

The recurrent 16p11.2 microdeletion is characterized by developmental delays and a wide spectrum of congenital anomalies. It has been well reported that individuals with this ∼593-kb interstitial deletion have an increased susceptibility toward the autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
