Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) offers potential support in patient-clinician interactions, but its impact on such communication remains unexplored.
Methods: In this study, ChatGPT was compared with two pancreatic surgeons in responding to ten pancreatic cancer surgery-related questions, co-designed with the Patient Advisory Board of the Surgical Society's Study Center. A blind evaluation of these responses, considering content congruency and clarity for non-specialists, was conducted by patients and surgeons.
Article Synopsis
- * This study used high-frequency monitoring data to identify nearly 3000 potential contaminants, revealing that over half of these compounds likely come from irregular emissions, primarily linked to industrial activities.
- * The research also pinpointed sixteen specific irregularly emitted substances with confirmed industrial origins and suggests a common source for an additional 40 compounds, proposing further studies to discover unknown contaminants in other river systems.
Intramuscular injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) is commonly used to improve or maintain the joint range of motion in young children with spasticity. However, the effectiveness of BoNT-A treatment is variable and movement limitations are recurrent. Here we show long-term effects of a single, bilateral abobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A) injection in the gastrocnemius medialis and soleus muscles of wild-type and spastic (B6.

Recent studies reported that laparoscopic mesh removal is feasible and safe. However, the risk of a hernia recurrence is unknown.

Background: Vascular pancreatic surgery is increasingly performed for locally advanced pancreatic neoplasms. Different than other centers, we prefer to use alloplastic vascular graft materials for superior mesenteric vein and portal vein interposition in pancreatic surgery.
