Assessing the Utilization of Large Language Model Chatbots for Educational Purposes by Medical Teachers: A Nationwide Survey From India.

Background Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly explored in healthcare and education. In medical education, they hold the potential to enhance learning by supporting personalized teaching, resource development, and student engagement. However, LLM use also raises concerns about ethics, accuracy, and reliance.

Efficacy of ChatGPT in solving attitude, ethics, and communication case scenario used for competency-based medical education in India: A case study.

Background: Competency-based medical education (CBME) is a method of medical training that focuses on developing learners' competencies rather than simply assessing their knowledge and skills. Attitude, ethics, and communication (AETCOM) are important components of CBME, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT for CBME has not been studied. Hence, we aimed to assess the capability of ChatGPT in solving AETCOM case scenarios used for CBME in India.

A study on the multidisciplinary diagnostic approach of leprosy: Can we prevent the recrudescence in the post-elimination Indian scenario?

Introduction: Leprosy also widely known by the name Hansen's disease is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae affecting mankind with various clinico-pathological forms. It remained a major public health issue due to associated case load, morbidity and stigma attached to it. India declared elimination of leprosy in the year 2005.

Molecular Characterization of Class A-ESBLs, Class B-MBLs, Class C-AmpC, and Class D-OXA Carbapenemases in MDR Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates in a Tertiary Care Hospital, West Bengal, India.

Background (ACB) complex has become a major concern nowadays because of its increasing involvement in several severe infections associated with catheter-related bloodstream and urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, cerebrospinal shunt-related meningitis, and wound infections. Multiple drug-resistant (MDR) ACB cases have been described with an increasing trend where at least it is resistant to a minimum of three antimicrobial groups. The mortality rate associated with is significantly higher than all  spp.

The Tribal Health System in India: Challenges in Healthcare Delivery in Comparison to the Global Healthcare Systems.

The tribal health system in India faces unique challenges in comparison to non-tribal health in the nation and global healthcare systems. The tribal health issues are distinct due to the diverse socio-cultural practices, rituals, customs, and languages of the tribal communities. Despite commendable efforts, there are several obstacles that hinder the successful delivery of healthcare services to these underserved populations.

Assessing the Capability of ChatGPT in Answering First- and Second-Order Knowledge Questions on Microbiology as per Competency-Based Medical Education Curriculum.

Background and objective ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) language model that has been trained to process and respond to questions across a wide range of topics. It is also capable of solving problems in medical educational topics. However, the capability of ChatGPT to accurately answer first- and second-order knowledge questions in the field of microbiology has not been explored so far.

A Cross-Sectional Clinicomycological Study on Dermatophytosis: A Report From a Single Tertiary Healthcare Center in Eastern India.

Background Dermatophytosis is a public health concern in tropical countries. In India, a scalable number of dermatophytosis cases from multiple states are reported. In the eastern part of India, very few studies were published assessing the clinicomycological profiles of patients.

A Microbiological Study of with Special Reference to Multidrug Resistance.

 The outbreak of ( ) is mainly reported to be a notorious pathogens at health-care settings. It is the major problem on the health-care system with high morbidity and mortality rates because of the broad range of antibiotic resistance and lack of understanding the mechanism of developing new antibiotic resistance rapidly. It emphasizes the importance of local surveillance in describing or understanding and predicting microbial resistance patterns so that there will be limited use of antibiotics by developing strategies to control the extensive use of antimicrobial chemotherapy in clinical environment, which is still considered as one of the factors in the emergence of multidrug resistance microorganisms.

Carriage prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in stool samples: A surveillance study.

Background: With more people being exposed to antibiotics, intestinal microflora faces constant pressure of antibiotic selection, which has resulted in the emergence of multidrug resistant strains. This may pose a severe problem as intestinal Enterobacteriaceae members are commonly implicated in human infections.

Aims: This surveillance study was undertaken to investigate the carriage of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in the gastrointestinal tract among patients attending the outpatient clinic in a tertiary care center of East Delhi, India.

Chromoblastomycosis - A clinical mimic of squamous carcinoma.

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi from a subtropical region of India that developed over the left foot of a 45-year-old male farmer and was provisionally diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. The patient presented with irregular warty growths over the left foot, which had started one year previously, and has gradually progressed over a year to involve the lateral aspect of left leg.

'Test and treat' policy in dyspepsia: time for a reappraisal.

The 'test and treat' policy is the recommended way to eradicate Helicobacter pylori in young patients with uninvestigated dyspepsia if the prevalence of H. pylori is high. India is considered to have a high prevalence of H.
