Geriatrics and artificial intelligence in Spain (Ger-IA project): talking to ChatGPT, a nationwide survey.

Purpose: The purposes of the study was to describe the degree of agreement between geriatricians with the answers given by an AI tool (ChatGPT) in response to questions related to different areas in geriatrics, to study the differences between specialists and residents in geriatrics in terms of the degree of agreement with ChatGPT, and to analyse the mean scores obtained by areas of knowledge/domains.

Methods: An observational study was conducted involving 126 doctors from 41 geriatric medicine departments in Spain. Ten questions about geriatric medicine were posed to ChatGPT, and doctors evaluated the AI's answers using a Likert scale.

Risks, indications and technical aspects of colonoscopy in elderly or frail patients. Position paper of the Societat Catalana de Digestologia, the Societat Catalana de Geriatria i Gerontologia and the Societat Catalana de Medicina de Familia i Comunitaria.

Colonoscopy (CS) is an invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technique, allowing the study of the colon. It is a safe and well tolerated procedure. However, CS is associated with an increased risk of adverse events, insufficient preparation and incomplete examinations in the elderly or frail patient (PEA/F).

High-Resolution Melting Analysis for Rapid Detection of Mutations in Patients with -Related Skeletal Dysplasias.

Mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene are related to skeletal dysplasias (SDs): acondroplasia (ACH), hypochodroplasia (HCH) and type I (TDI) and II (TDII) tanatophoric dysplasias. This study was designed to standardize and implement a high-resolution melting (HRM) technique to identify mutations in patients with these phenotypes. Initially, gene segments from 84 patients were PCR amplified and subjected to Sanger sequencing.

Visual and Hearing Impairment Are Associated With Delirium in Hospitalized Patients: Results of a Multisite Prevalence Study.

Objective: Sensory deficits are important risk factors for delirium but have been investigated in single-center studies and single clinical settings. This multicenter study aims to evaluate the association between hearing and visual impairment or bi-sensory impairment (visual and hearing impairment) and delirium.

Design: Cross-sectional study nested in the 2017 "Delirium Day" project.

Novel and Recurrent Mutations in the Gene and Double Heterozygosity Cases in a Cohort of Brazilian Patients with Skeletal Dysplasia.

Mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene () cause achondroplasia (ACH), hypochondroplasia (HCH), and thanatophoric dysplasia types I and II (TDI/TDII). In this study, we performed a genetic study of 123 Brazilian patients with these phenotypes. Mutation hotspots of the gene were PCR amplified and sequenced.
