- Large language models like ChatGPT show promise in medical fields, especially clinical neuroscience, with significant developments from OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.
- The paper explores how ChatGPT can assist in neurosurgery education, including passing medical licensing exams and creating personalized study materials.
- Caution is advised when using AI tools due to risks like hallucinations and the potential for user overreliance, highlighting the need for careful integration into neurosurgical training.
Background: Several heat indices have been developed in industrial health, but each has its limitations.
Objective: The objective of this article is to determine the validity and applicability of a temperature-humidity index, named Humidex compared with the Standard Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index (ISO 7243).
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the summer of 2019, in a tile factory in the west of Iran.
Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) and ergonomic risk factors are very common in bakery workers.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to (1) assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among bakers because they use automated machines or traditional baking, and (2) to determine the strategies to prevent musculoskeletal disorders in bakers.
Methods: A systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted from the beginning to February 4, 2022, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate long-term changes (≥ 5 years) in Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) for pediatric patients undergoing epilepsy surgery.
- The study meticulously filtered through 21,408 articles, ultimately analyzing seven qualifying studies involving 330 patients, to compare pre- and post-surgery FSIQ scores.
- The findings revealed a statistically significant mean increase of 3.36 in long-term FSIQ scores, indicating potential cognitive benefits from epilepsy surgery in children and adolescents.
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are known as one of the main problems affecting the health of industrial workers and can lead to lost working days, functional disability of workers and wasting the financial resources of an organization. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluating the effect of ergonomic interventions on reducing MSDs and improving working posture in the in a foundry industry workers.
Methods: A field multicomponent cross-interventional study was conducted on workers working in a foundry industry.
Background: Nurses experience many job tensions, which lead to job burnout. The consequences of nurses' job burnout include absenteeism, reduced quality of patient care, interpersonal conflicts with colleagues, physical and mental problems, reluctance to provide care with patients, and quitting the job.
Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of job burnout among nurses in Iran using a meta-analysis method.
Background: Chronic non-specific neck pain is the most prevalent neck pain with notable impacts on the quality of life in the elderly.
Objective: The impacts of the neck, core, and combined stabilization practices on pain, disability, and improvement of the neck range of motion in the elderly with chronic non-specific neck pain were examined.
Method: A quasi-experimental (open label) study was carried out through a cluster sampling in two phases in Tehran-Iran in 2017.
Background: The quality of life (QOL) is essential in all different stages of life; however, It is more important for older people as it can be effective in promoting their health. Therefore, the present study aimed to review the literature on the QOL in the Iranian elderly population.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out as a systematic review.
Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute, feverous disease that is caused by tick bites or humans' direct contact with the blood and tissues of infected livestock and humans. The transmission of the disease is also possible via human-to-human contacts and nosocomial transmission is well described. The majority of patients suffering from this disease are slaughterhouse workers (including butchers), farmers, veterinarians and hospital staff.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFIt has been suggested that beige fat thermogenesis is tightly controlled by epigenetic regulators that sense environmental cues such as temperature. Here, we report that subcutaneous adipose expression of the DNA demethylase TET1 is suppressed by cold and other stimulators of beige adipocyte thermogenesis. TET1 acts as an autonomous repressor of key thermogenic genes, including Ucp1 and Ppargc1a, in beige adipocytes.
