Large language models in neurosurgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Large Language Models (LLMs) are gaining attention in neurosurgery, with potential benefits, but their effectiveness across various surgical tasks remains under-researched.
- A systematic review of literature revealed 51 articles focusing on LLM applications, notably in clinical text generation, exam question answering, and decision-making support, predominantly using models like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.
- While many studies utilized LLMs in a straightforward manner, there is a call for more rigorous guidelines and reproducibility in future research to fully harness their capabilities.
Article Synopsis
- The Dothideomycete fungal pathogen Ptr causes tan spot disease in wheat, with known proteinaceous effectors ToxA and ToxB, and a partially characterized nonproteinaceous effector ToxC.
- Two new compounds, ToxE1 and ToxE2, were identified from Ptr cultures, inducing specific chlorotic symptoms in wheat leaves without being linked to ToxC.
- The compounds were found in infected wheat and analyzed via NMR spectroscopy, revealing a phthalide core structure, suggesting a potential role in phytotoxicity and disease progression.
The ongoing development of single electron, nano-, and atomic scale semiconductor devices would greatly benefit from a characterization tool capable of detecting single electron charging events with high spatial resolution at low temperatures. In this work, we introduce a novel Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) instrument capable of measuring critical device dimensions, surface roughness, electrical surface potential, and ultimately the energy levels of quantum dots and single electron transistors in ultra miniaturized semiconductor devices. The characterization of nanofabricated devices with this type of instrument presents a challenge: finding the device.

- RSV is a major cause of bronchiolitis, leading to 3 million hospitalizations each year, and nirsevimab is a monoclonal antibody aimed at preventing severe RSV cases in infants.
- A study compared infants hospitalized for RSV bronchiolitis with those visiting for unrelated reasons, assessing nirsevimab’s effectiveness in preventing hospitalizations in those under 12 months old.
- Findings showed nirsevimab reduced hospitalization rates for RSV-associated bronchiolitis by 83% and critical care needs by about 70%, indicating it is an effective treatment option for vulnerable infants.
Purpose: This study aims to develop an accessible stepwise management algorithm for pediatric presentations of occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) based on a systematic review of the published literature regarding diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted on PubMed to locate English language studies reporting on the management of pediatric OCFs. Data extraction of clinical presentation, management strategies, imaging, and treatment outcome was performed.
