Hidden Flaws Behind Expert-Level Accuracy of Multimodal GPT-4 Vision in Medicine.

Recent studies indicate that Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 with Vision (GPT-4V) outperforms human physicians in medical challenge tasks. However, these evaluations primarily focused on the accuracy of multi-choice questions alone. Our study extends the current scope by conducting a comprehensive analysis of GPT-4V's rationales of image comprehension, recall of medical knowledge, and step-by-step multimodal reasoning when solving (NEJM) Image Challenges - an imaging quiz designed to test the knowledge and diagnostic capabilities of medical professionals.

Prevalence of HTLV-I Infection and Its Association with Tuberculosis among Patients at an Urban Clinic in Haiti.

This retrospective case-control study examined the prevalence of HTLV-I and its association with tuberculosis among urban clinic patients in Haiti. Prevalence of HTLV-I among tuberculosis cases was 2.1% and among controls was 2.

Severe malaria: update on pathophysiology and treatment.

Purpose Of Review: Malaria threatens the lives of over 200 million individuals with the disease each year. Plasmodium falciparum is the predominant cause of severe malaria which may be lethal and result in neurocognitive sequelae despite appropriate treatment. We review recent advances regarding the pathophysiology of severe malaria and treatment recommendations for severe disease in the United States.

Temporal Trends in the Clinical Acuity of Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Despite advances in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) systems of care over the last decade, studies have shown no improvement in risk-adjusted mortality. It has been hypothesized that the population presenting to the catheterization laboratory has become sicker over time, in ways not accurately captured by current mortality models. The objective of this study was to examine changes in the clinical characteristics and in-hospital case fatality rate of the STEMI population treated with early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Characteristics of hospitalizations for cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction in the United States.

Background: Multiple studies have reported a decline in mortality for patients with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction (CS-AMI), a finding which has been attributed to an increase in revascularization over the past decade. However, other studies that have focused on CS-AMI patients treated with early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have found no improvement in risk-adjusted mortality. To reconcile these discordances, we hypothesize that the clinical complexity of the PCI-population has changed over time, in ways not precisely adjusted for in previous studies.
