- Lasting scars like keloids and hypertrophic scars impact patients' quality of life but are often misdiagnosed due to complicated diagnostic criteria.
- This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of five AI chatbots, including ChatGPT-4, in interpreting clinical images of different scar types.
- Results showed that GPT-4 outperformed Bing Chat in accuracy, particularly for keloids and hypertrophic scars, but concluded that current AI technology still requires improvement before it can be reliably used in clinical settings.
Article Synopsis
- * This study examined two reconstruction techniques using free jejunal transfer in five patients, who had varying types of cancer and defect sizes, with either a simple incision or a two-segment method utilized for the reconstruction.
- * Results showed successful swallowing functions for most patients post-surgery, with some able to resume oral feeding and others needing tube feeding, indicating that both reconstruction methods can be effective in this complex surgical context.
