Can ChatGPT 4.0 reliably answer patient frequently asked questions about boxer's fractures?

Background: Patients are increasingly turning to the internet, and recently artificial intelligence engines (e.g., ChatGPT), for answers to common medical questions.

Acetabular Screws With Cement Augment for Tibial Plateau Defects in Dynamic Spacer Implantation: A Case of Recalcitrant Native Knee Septic Arthritis.

Treating tibial bone defects in the setting of recalcitrant native knee arthritis presents a challenging biomechanical problem for orthopaedic surgeons. A dynamic antibiotic spacer offers an effective solution to preserve patient function and manage infection. However, severe bone loss may compromise the fixation of the dynamic spacer.

An 11-Year-Long Analysis of the Risks Associated With Age in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion in a Large, Urban Academic Hospital.

Study Design: A retrospective database study of patients at an urban academic medical center undergoing an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgery between 2008 and 2019.

Objective: ACDF is one of the most common spinal procedures. Old age has been found to be a common risk factor for postoperative complications across a plethora of spine procedures.

Changes in Myosin Heavy Chain Isoforms Along the Length of Orbital Fibers in Rabbit Extraocular Muscle.

Purpose: Extraocular muscles express 10 myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms that cater for a wide range of contractile speeds. We aim to characterize the variations in MyHC expression along the length of singly (SIFs) and multiply innervated fibers (MIFs) in the orbital layer of rabbit superior rectus muscle.

Methods: Monospecific antibodies to nine MyHCs, including an anti-slow-tonic antibody characterized here were used to immunohistochemically map variations in MyHC distribution in serial sections along the muscle's full length.

Reduction of synaptojanin 1 accelerates Aβ clearance and attenuates cognitive deterioration in an Alzheimer mouse model.

Recent studies link synaptojanin 1 (synj1), the main phosphoinositol (4,5)-biphosphate phosphatase (PI(4,5)P2-degrading enzyme) in the brain and synapses, to Alzheimer disease. Here we report a novel mechanism by which synj1 reversely regulates cellular clearance of amyloid-β (Aβ). Genetic down-regulation of synj1 reduces both extracellular and intracellular Aβ levels in N2a cells stably expressing the Swedish mutant of amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Immunohistochemical analysis of the effects of cross-innervation of murine thyroarytenoid and sternohyoid muscles.

This work uses cross-innervation of respiratory muscles of different developmental origins to probe myogenic and neurogenic mechanisms regulating their fiber types. The thyroarytenoid (TA) originates from the sixth branchial arch, whereas the sternohyoid (SH) is derived from somitic mesoderm. Immunohistochemical analysis using highly specific monoclonal antibodies to myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms reveals that normal rat SH comprises slow, 2a, 2x, and 2b fibers, as in limb fast muscles, whereas the external division of the TA has only 2b/eo fibers coexpressing 2B and extraocular (EO) MyHCs.

Immunohistochemical analysis of myosin heavy chain expression in laryngeal muscles of the rabbit, cat, and baboon.

We studied myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression and fiber type distribution in laryngeal muscles in the rabbit, cat, and baboon using immunohistochemistry with highly MyHC-specific antibodies. Two types of variation in MyHC expression were found: between muscles of different function within species and within specific muscles between species. Within species, thyroarytenoid (Ta), an adductor, had faster MyHCs and fiber type profiles than the abductor, posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA), which expressed faster MyHCs than the vocal fold tensor, cricothyroid (CT).

Fiber types in rat laryngeal muscles and their transformations after denervation and reinnervation.

The intrinsic laryngeal muscles cricothyroid (CT) and thyroarythenoid (TA) differ in myosin expression. CT expresses limb myosin heavy chains (MyHCs) and TA expresses an MyHC found in extraocular (EO) muscles, in addition to limb isoforms. We used immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses with highly specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against various MyHCs to study muscle fiber types in rat CT and TA and to investigate whether nerves to laryngeal muscles control MyHC expression.
