This study evaluated the use of ChatGPT among current and former medical students enrolled at Italian universities. The primary goal was to assess its usage and applications in education. Secondary objectives included gathering opinions and satisfaction levels with ChatGPT for educational purposes.

Successful Recovery of Cardiac Function Following 20 min of a No-touch Period in a Donation After Circulatory Death: A Case Report.

Background: Withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) performed in the circulatory determination of death (DCD) donors leads to cardiac arrest, challenging the utilization of the myocardium for transplantation. The rapid initiation of normothermic regional perfusion or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after death helps to optimize organs before implantation. However, additional strategies to mitigate the effects of stress response during WLST, hypoxic/ischemic injury, and reperfusion injury are required to allow myocardium recovery.

Testing ChatGPT ability to answer laypeople questions about cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Introduction: Cardiac arrest leaves witnesses, survivors, and their relatives with a multitude of questions. When a young or a public figure is affected, interest around cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases. ChatGPT allows everyone to obtain human-like responses on any topic.

Rotating Abdominal Flap: A New and Simple Technique to Treat and Avoid Lower Pole Contour Deformities in Breast Augmentation.

Background: Double-contour deformity represents a common complication following inframammary fold lowering in augmentation mammaplasty that mostly occurs in patients with a short distance from the nipple to the inframammary fold or tight breasts. The authors describe a technique that consists of exploiting a cranially based abdominal fat flap that is hinged and rotated upward to correct or prevent this deformity.

Methods: A retrospective study of two groups of patients was conducted.

Zygomatic Implants through a Face-Lift Approach: Analysis of 30 Years' Experience.

Background: The use of zygomatic implants has been mostly replaced by fat grafting in rhytidectomy procedures. Furthermore, surgeons using implants prefer the intraoral approach. The authors aimed to describe and emphasize the usefulness of the preauricular approach as the best approach for this operation and underline the value of cheek implants as an alternative and/or as an adjunct to fat grafting during face-lift procedures for midfacial rejuvenation.

Lateral Skin-Platysma Displacement: A New Approach to Neck Rejuvenation Through a Lateral Approach.

Lateral skin-platysma displacement is a new technique for neck rejuvenation based on composite platysma-cutaneous flaps repositioned laterally through cable sutures. This technique skews the anatomy of the muscle, displacing it in a more lateral position and decreases the risk of paramedian bands recurrence. Traction applied to the midbody of the myocutaneous flaps is more effective in treating anterior excess skin than traction applied to the lateral platysma borders.

Properly Diluted Fat (PDF): An Easy and Safe Approach to Periocular Fat Grafting.

Background: The main challenge of periocular fat grafting is the risk of contour irregularities, especially in the lower eyelid. Injection of diluted fat can decrease the likelihood of poor contour.

Objectives: The authors developed a simple method of periocular fat grafting in which the fat was harvested through unconventional cannulas and diluted before the injection to avoid the risk of contour irregularities.

Transcutaneous Brow Shaping: A Straightforward and Precise Method to Lift and Shape the Eyebrows.

Background: The height of the eyebrow is less crucial aesthetically than is the relationship between the lateral and medial portions of the brow. Although various surgical procedures are effective in raising the brow, the authors maintain that transcutaneous brow shaping (TBS) is the only technique that enables precise shaping of the brow and correction of minor asymmetries.

Objectives: The authors described their experiences with direct TBS alone or in conjunction with blepharoplasty and facelift.

Treatment of Anterior Neck Aging without a Submental Approach: Lateral Skin-Platysma Displacement, a New and Proven Technique for Platysma Bands and Skin Laxity.

Background: A high rate of recurrence of anterior platysma bands and anterior skin laxity was reported at the 1-year follow-up of 150 patients who underwent complete neck undermining and full-width platysma transection for neck rejuvenation. The authors propose a new technique-lateral skin-platysma displacement-to treat these two aesthetic problems using only a lateral approach to avoid "opening" the anterior neck. The authors' objective was to compare outcomes following full-width platysma transection technique and lateral skin-platysma displacement technique in terms of patient satisfaction, complications, and long-term effectiveness in the treatment of bands and anterior skin laxity.

Complete Platysma Transection in Neck Rejuvenation: A Critical Appraisal.

Background: The most common features of aging in the anterior neck are skin laxity and anterior platysma bands. Most neck correction techniques fail to obtain lasting correction of these despite promising early improvement. The authors use a major procedure to obtain the best results, combining full neck undermining with complete platysma transection and midline platysma approximation.

Prospective computerized analyses of sensibility in breast reconstruction with non-reinnervated DIEP flap.

Background: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is considered the definitive standard for autologous breast reconstruction because of its ability to restore shape, its consistency, and its static and dynamic symmetry, but the degree of spontaneous sensory recovery is still widely discussed. To clarify the real need for sensitive nerve coaptation, return of sensibility in DIEP flaps was investigated using a pressure-specifying sensory device.

Methods: Thirty consecutive patients with breast cancer scheduled for modified radical mastectomy, axillary node dissection, and immediate reconstruction with cutaneous-adipose DIEP flaps without nerve repair were enrolled in the study.

Intense pulsed light photoepilation in hirsute women: the role of obesity.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) has shown diverse results in hair clearance related to treatment protocols or skin phototype. Hirsutism may be due to endocrine disease, as in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), both of which conditions may be associated with obesity. Obesity complicates the metabolic pattern, particularly in terms of insulin resistance, which may worsen the clinical condition of hirsutism.
