Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of the Teach-CVI Screening Tool for assessing Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) in pediatric patients, as CVI is the leading cause of visual impairment in children.
- The researchers conducted a retrospective review of 119 patient records from a specialized eye care center and applied Rasch analysis to determine how well the questionnaire items matched the patients' visual abilities.
- Findings indicated that there is a strong alignment between the questionnaire items and the diverse visual conditions of the patients, with most cases also presenting additional visual disorders.
We investigated the accuracy and completeness of four large language model (LLM) artificial intelligence tools. Most LLMs provided acceptable answers to commonly asked infection prevention questions (accuracy 98.9%, completeness 94.

- This study examined bleeding outcomes after thrombolytic therapy in STEMI patients at a Malaysian hospital from 2016 to 2020.
- Out of 941 patients, 16.6% experienced bleeding, with major and minor bleeding linked to higher in-hospital mortality rates.
- Age and Malaysian Chinese ethnicity were associated with higher bleeding risk, while being a foreigner and smoking were linked to lower risk; gastrointestinal bleeding was notably more common in patients treated with streptokinase.
Background: While general self-efficacy is known to relate to achievement in many areas, it has rarely been evaluated in individuals with low vision. Here we explore the psychometric properties and targeting of the New General Self Efficacy Scale (NGSES) using Rasch analysis in data collected from older adult clinical trial participants with low vision.
Methods: Participants (n = 121) completed pre-intervention telephone questionnaires (i.
