Article Synopsis
- A significant number of consumers (48%) use generative AI for health inquiries, yet there is limited research on the quality of AI chatbot responses concerning emergency care advice.
- This study evaluated responses from four popular AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Google Bard, Bing AI, and Claude AI) using 10 emergency care questions, grading them across eight performance domains.
- Results showed that chatbots excelled in clarity and understandability (85%), had moderate accuracy and completeness (50%), but struggled with source relevance and reliability (10%), and potentially presented dangerous information in 5% to 35% of their responses.

Testicular Torsion Appearance and Diagnosis on Computed Tomography of the Abdomen and Pelvis: Case Report.
Clin Pract Cases Emerg Med
May 2022
Introduction: Testicular torsion, or the twisting of the spermatic cord compromising blood flow to the testis, is a urologic emergency with the potential to cause infertility in male patients. The diagnosis may be clinical or confirmed using imaging, with ultrasound being the modality of choice.
Case Report: We present a case of right lower quadrant pain with radiation to the groin and right scrotum in a young male.
Importance: Civilian public mass shootings (CPMSs) in the US result in substantial injuries. However, the types and consequences of these injuries have not been systematically described.
Objective: To describe the injury characteristics, outcomes, and health care burden associated with nonfatal injuries sustained during CPMSs and to better understand the consequences to patients, hospitals, and society at large.
