Objective: This study aimed to develop a prompt engineering procedure for test question mapping and then determine the effectiveness of test question mapping using Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) compared to human faculty mapping.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to compare ChatGPT and human mapping using a sample of 139 test questions from modules within the Integrated Pharmacotherapeutics course series. The test questions were mapped by 3 faculty members to both module objectives and the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards 2016 (Standards 2016) to create the "correct answer".

Article Synopsis
  • The study introduces a new type of pseudopeptide made with charged amino acids like lysine, aiming to explore how factors like chirality and backbone length affect these molecules' shape and behavior in solution.
  • Results show that short and long peptide structures adopt a β-turn shape, with the longer chains exhibiting more variation due to side chains' flexibility and steric effects.
  • Finally, using short lysine-containing aza-pseudopeptides in Pebax® 1074 membranes significantly enhances CO separation performance, especially with a specific pseudopeptidic dimer additive, improving selectivity and permeability.

Background: Multiple studies have investigated the epidemic of persistent opioid use as a common postsurgical complication. However, there exists a knowledge gap in the association between the level of opioid exposure in the peri-surgical setting and post-discharge adverse outcomes to patients and healthcare settings. We analyzed the association between peri-surgical opioid exposure use and post-discharge outcomes, including persistent postsurgical opioid prescription, opioid-related symptoms (ORS), and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU).
