Assessing the clinical reasoning of ChatGPT for mechanical thrombectomy in patients with stroke.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a promising tool in medicine. ChatGPT, a large language model AI Chatbot, shows promise in supporting clinical practice. We assess the potential of ChatGPT as a clinical reasoning tool for mechanical thrombectomy in patients with stroke.

Assessment of ChatGPT's performance on neurology written board examination questions.

Background And Objectives: ChatGPT has shown promise in healthcare. To assess the utility of this novel tool in healthcare education, we evaluated ChatGPT's performance in answering neurology board exam questions.

Methods: Neurology board-style examination questions were accessed from BoardVitals, a commercial neurology question bank.

Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2-Specific T-Cell Activation with a Rapid On-Chip IGRA.

Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) that measure pathogen-specific T-cell response rates can provide a more reliable estimate of protection than specific antibody levels but have limited potential for widespread use due to their workflow, personnel, and instrumentation demands. The major vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 have demonstrated substantial efficacy against all of its current variants, but approaches are needed to determine how these vaccines will perform against future variants, as they arise, to inform vaccine and public health policies. Here we describe a rapid, sensitive, nanolayer polylysine-integrated microfluidic chip IGRA read by a fluorescent microscope that has a 5 h sample-to-answer time and uses ∼25 μL of a fingerstick whole blood sample.
