Objectives: Fundoscopy is crucial in the emergency department to identify or rule out serious ocular and neurological conditions. Despite its clinical importance, fundoscopy is often omitted due to the technical challenges associated with traditional direct ophthalmoscopy, particularly for non-ophthalmologists. This study examines emergency physicians' practices, confidence levels, and training related to various modalities of fundoscopy including traditional direct ophthalmoscopes, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes, panoptic ophthalmoscopes, slit lamp fundoscopy and fundus cameras; and explores the potential role of alternative modalities, such as fundus cameras, in Canadian emergency departments.

- This study evaluated the performance of various large language model (LLM) chatbots, including ChatGPT and Google Bard, in responding to cornea-related medical scenarios to assess their effectiveness in clinical settings.
- ChatGPT performed the best overall, scoring an average of 83.8% across various evaluation criteria, while Google Bard excelled in readability metrics.
- The research underscores the potential benefits of LLMs in ophthalmology but emphasizes the need for careful monitoring and professional oversight to ensure safety and effectiveness in patient care.
Topic: To examine the association between virtual postoperative follow-up care and patient outcomes after cataract surgery.
Clinical Relevance: Cataract surgery is a safe and commonly performed surgery. Follow-up visits are used to monitor for complications.
Background: We aimed to investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and management of nephrolithiasis in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients.
Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent parathyroidectomy at a tertiary care hospital in British Columbia from January 2016 to April 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data, laboratory results, imaging reports, and urologic consultations were examined.
