Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and oral lichen planus (LPO) are chronic inflammatory conditions with similar oral manifestations. This study aimed to assess whether serum and salivary cytokines (IL-1α, IL-6, IL-17) could serve as reliable biomarkers for cGVHD. A prospective cohort study was conducted involving cGVHD patients, LPO patients, and healthy controls.

- The paper discusses long-term outcomes of a novel surgical technique for reinnervating the lacrimal gland in patients with neurodeprivative dry eye disease, following an initial 1-year report.
- A study involving 9 patients post-surgery highlights significant improvements in tear secretion and tear film health, with measured parameters showing notable enhancements at the final follow-up.
- Patients reported high levels of satisfaction, although tear film osmolarity remained similar between the operated and non-operated eye.
This study evaluates the quality and readability of informed consent documents generated by AI platforms ChatGPT-4 and Bard Gemini Advanced compared to those written by a first-year oral surgery resident for common oral surgery procedures. The evaluation, conducted by 18 experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons, assessed consents for accuracy, completeness, readability, and overall quality. ChatGPT-4 consistently outperformed both Bard and human-written consents.

Patients with severe NK can present with corneal opacification requiring optical keratoplasty, which would likely fail without a proper trophic support of corneal nerves in the recipient cornea.
Methods: This is a pilot study on 4 patients undergoing keratoplasty after CN.
Purpose: This study evaluates the efficacy of two advanced Large Language Models (LLMs), OpenAI's ChatGPT 4 and Google's Gemini Advanced, in providing treatment recommendations for head and neck oncology cases. The aim is to assess their utility in supporting multidisciplinary oncological evaluations and decision-making processes.
Methods: This comparative analysis examined the responses of ChatGPT 4 and Gemini Advanced to five hypothetical cases of head and neck cancer, each representing a different anatomical subsite.
