Article Synopsis
- Drug checking helps individuals verify the identity and purity of drugs before use, and the CanTEST Health and Drug Checking Service is the first established service in Australia for this purpose.
- Recently, three samples submitted to the service were expected to be known substances but turned out to be unidentified; further laboratory analysis ultimately revealed them to be new psychoactive substances not previously documented.
- This case highlights the importance of drug checking as a tool for monitoring the unregulated drug market and ensuring safer consumption practices among users.
Aim: Chatbot Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) software based on large language models (LLMs), designed to simulate human conversations and generate novel content based on the training data it has been exposed to. The aim of this study was to evaluate the consistency and accuracy of ChatGPT-generated answers to clinical questions in endodontics, compared to answers provided by human experts.
Methodology: Ninety-one dichotomous (yes/no) questions were designed and categorized into three levels of difficulty.
Article Synopsis
- The study discusses flexible Pd(L) complexes that self-recognize through π-π interactions, which makes it difficult for them to associate with aromatic targets in solution.
- The complex can reversibly transform into an 'open' macrocycle by introducing additional metal ions, thanks to bidentate binding sites in the ligand that include 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole and bis-1,2,3-triazole.
- This controlled process allows for switching between two distinct species, enhancing the interaction of the macrocycle with molecular substrates and regulating guest binding.
(1) Objective: To determine whether recent advances in lung transplantation (LT) have reduced the incidence and changed the risk factors for airway complications (AC). (2) Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients receiving a lung transplant between January 2007 and January 2019. An AC was defined as a bronchoscopic abnormality in the airway, either requiring or not requiring an endoscopic or surgical intervention.
