Ensuring reliability of Large Language Models (LLMs) in clinical tasks is crucial. Our study assesses two state-of-the-art LLMs (ChatGPT and LlaMA-2) for extracting clinical information, focusing on cognitive tests like MMSE and CDR. Our data consisted of 135,307 clinical notes (Jan 12th, 2010 to May 24th, 2023) mentioning MMSE, CDR, or MoCA.

- Hypertension is a significant risk factor for ischemic heart disease in older adults, and effective home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is crucial for management, especially within mobile health cardiac rehabilitation (mHealth-CR).
- A study analyzed the engagement patterns of 111 older adults participating in mHealth-CR, revealing three distinct patterns of HBPM adherence: high engagement, gradual decline, and sustained baseline engagement.
- Results indicated that overall HBPM adherence was low, declining in two engagement groups, and only depression significantly influenced weekly monitoring adherence, suggesting a need to improve motivation and support for older adults in managing their blood pressure.
Background: Because of advances in medical treatment of heart failure, patients are living longer than in previous eras and may approach the need for advanced therapies, including heart transplantation, at older ages. This study assesses practices surrounding heart transplant in older adults (> 70 years) and examines short- and medium-term outcomes.
Methods And Results: This study is a retrospective analysis using the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database from 2010 to 2021.
Purpose: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is beneficial in heart transplant and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients, but patterns of attendance remain poorly understood. We describe CR adherence and cessation in this population.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of heart transplant and LVAD recipients who attended ≥1 CR session at a tertiary medical center (2013-2022).
Article Synopsis
- A secondary analysis is being conducted on the effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on verbal behaviors in children with autism, aiming to validate and deepen understanding of initial research findings.
- The study involved 65 children with autism who received either Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatment alone or in combination with HBOT, utilizing data from their medical records between 2018 and 2021.
- Statistical analyses, including t-tests and MANOVAs, were performed to assess differences in verbal behaviors between the groups, with various age distributions noted within the sample.
