Artificial Intelligence in Plastic Surgery: Insights from Plastic Surgeons, Education Integration, ChatGPT's Survey Predictions, and the Path Forward.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative technology with potential applications in various plastic surgery procedures and plastic surgery education. This article examines the views of plastic surgeons and residents on the role of AI in the field of plastic surgery.

Methods: A 34-question survey on AI's role in plastic surgery was distributed to 564 plastic surgeons worldwide, and we received responses from 153 (26.

Ultrasound Criteria and Baker Scale for Breast Implant Capsular Contracture Diagnosis.

Unlabelled: Due to the subjectivity of the Baker scale in grading capsular contracture (CC), an objective and reproducible measurement tool is necessary to estimate the presence and grade of CC in patients with breast implants. This study aimed to assess the capacity of breast ultrasonography to identify CCs using the Baker grading system.

Methods: This study included patients who underwent breast augmentation with implants or implant-based breast reconstruction.

Experimental rhinovirus challenges in adults with mild asthma: response to infection in relation to IgE.

Background: Although most children and young adults with asthma are atopic, exacerbations of asthma are frequently associated with viral respiratory tract infections, especially those caused by rhinovirus (HRV).

Objective: Young atopic adults with mild asthma were evaluated before and during an experimental HRV infection to test the hypothesis that airway inflammation before virus inoculation may be a risk factor for an adverse response to HRV.

Methods: Experimental HRV infections were evaluated in 16 allergic volunteers with mild asthma and 9 nonatopic control patients (age, 18 to 30 years).
