Artificial Intelligence Promotes the Dunning Kruger Effect: Evaluating ChatGPT Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Introduction: Patients have long turned to the Internet for answers to common medical questions. As the ability to access information evolves beyond standard search engines, patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and their parents may use artificial intelligence chatbots such as ChatGPT as a new source of information.

Methods: Ten frequently asked questions regarding AIS were posed to ChatGPT.

Patellar tendon restoration techniques: a systematic review of outcomes for repair and reconstruction methods.

Purpose: This systematic review aims to delineate the various methods to repair or reconstruct the patellar tendon using the available literature.

Methods: MEDLINE and PubMed electronic databases were searched for English language clinical studies involving patellar tendon rupture repair or reconstruction that reported patient-reported outcome scores (PROS) between January 1st, 1953 and June 17th, 2021. Data was extracted on full text articles to collect functional outcome scores and rupture category, including acute, chronic, post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Bone marrow aspirate and bone marrow aspirate concentrate: Does the literature support use in long-bone nonunion and provide new insights into mechanism of action?

Purpose: To assess the use of bone marrow aspirate (BM) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in the treatment of long-bone nonunion and to understand mechanism of action.

Methods: A systematic review of PubMed and EBSCOHost was completed to identify studies that investigated the use of BM or BMAC for the diagnosis of delayed union and/or nonunion of long-bone fractures. Studies of isolated bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and use in non-long-bone fractures were excluded.

Editorial Commentary: ChatGPT Has the Potential to Be an Important Patient Education Tool and May Outperform Google.

With the growing popularity of artificial intelligence, more patients will begin to turn to chatbots such as ChatGPT for medical information. Recent research has shown that ChatGPT and Google can both provide accurate responses to numeric-based questions; ChatGPT bases its answers on more trustworthy, academic sources than Google, and the 2 tools have little overlap when queried to generate a list of frequently asked questions. Patients should use ChatGPT cautiously.

ChatGPT Responses to Common Questions About Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis: A Reliable Resource for Parents?

Background: We sought to evaluate the ability of ChatGPT, an AI-powered online chatbot, to answer frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).

Methods: Seven FAQs regarding SCFE were presented to ChatGPT. Initial responses were recorded and compared with evidence-based literature and reputable online resources.

ChatGPT Responses to Common Questions About Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Are Frequently Satisfactory.

Purpose: To evaluate ChatGPT responses to common questions patients have regarding anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Methods: Ten frequently asked questions regarding ACL tears and ACL reconstruction were chosen from the frequently asked questions found on the websites of major institutions. These were presented to ChatGPT and responses were rated as "excellent response not requiring clarification," "satisfactory requiring minimal clarification," "satisfactory requiring moderate clarification," or "unsatisfactory requiring substantial clarification.

Double trouble: combined cardiovascular effects of particulate matter exposure and coronavirus disease 2019.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly grown into a pandemic. According to initial reports, the lungs were thought to be the primary target, but recent case studies have shown its reach can extend to other organs including the heart and blood vessels. The severity of cardiac complications of COVID-19 depends on multiple underlying factors, with air pollutant exposure being one of them, as reported by several recent studies.

Exercise does not ameliorate cardiac dysfunction in obese mice exposed to fine particulate matter.

Background: Studies have demonstrated that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) is linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is exacerbated in patients with pre-existing conditions such as obesity. In the present study, we examined cardiac function of obese mice exposed to PM and determined if mild exercise affected cardiac function.

Methods: Obese mice (ob/ob) (leptin deficient, C57BL/6J background) were exposed to either filtered air (FA) or PM at an average concentration of 32 μg/m for 6 h/day, 5 days/week for 9 months.

Getting to the Heart of Alzheimer Disease.

In a somewhat narrow diagnostic lens, Alzheimer disease (AD) has been considered a brain-specific disease characterized by the presence of Aβ (β-amyloid) plaques and tau neural fibrillary tangles and neural inflammation; these pathologies lead to neuronal death and consequently clinical symptoms, such as memory loss, confusion, and impaired cognitive function. However, for decades, researchers have noticed a link between various cardiovascular abnormalities and AD-such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and vasculopathy. A considerable volume of work has pointed at this head to heart connection, focusing mainly on associations between cerebral hypoperfusion and neuronal degradation.

Preconception Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter Leads to Cardiac Dysfunction in Adult Male Offspring.

Background Particulate matter (particles < 2.5 μm [ PM ]) exposure during the in utero and postnatal developmental periods causes cardiac dysfunction during adulthood. Here, we investigated the potential priming effects of preconception exposure of PM on cardiac function in adult offspring.

Cardiac pathophysiology in response to environmental stress: a current review.

Purpose: Environmental stressors are disturbing our ecosystem at an accelerating rate. An increasingly relevant stressor are air pollutants, whose levels are increasing worldwide with threats to human health. These air pollutants are associated with increased mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular diseases.

PM exposure in utero contributes to neonatal cardiac dysfunction in mice.

Objective: Exposure of fine particulate matter (PM) to pregnant dams has been shown to be strongly associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in offspring at adulthood, however, effects evident during neonatal periods are unclear. We designed this study to examine cardiac function of neonatal mice (14 days old) exposed to in utero PM.

Methods: Pregnant FVB female mice were exposed either to filtered air (FA) or PM at an average concentration of 91.
