Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is accompanied by insufficient antigen-specific T regulatory cells (Tregs) and clonally expanded antigen-specific T conventional cells (Tconvs). In particular, this applied to the immunodominant T cell auto- epitope of type IV collagen, α3(IV)NC1135-145 , presented by HLA-DR15. Here, we investigated whether Tregs engineered to express GBM-T cell receptors (TCR) specific for α3(IV)NC1135- 145 better suppress autoimmunity.

- The study aimed to compare patient education materials on cataract surgery created by ChatGPT-4 and Google Bard, using a set of curated FAQs from trusted online resources.
- Results showed that while Google Bard had a higher readability score, ChatGPT-4 excelled in understandability, particularly in preparation and recovery information.
- Overall, ChatGPT-4 was found to be more effective in delivering understandable content, but further research with real patient input is needed to ensure relevance to actual patient needs.
Purpose: Upper airway (UA) surgery is commonly employed in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The intricate pathophysiology of OSA, variability in sites and patterns of UA collapse, and the interaction between anatomical and non-anatomical factors in individual patients may contribute to possible surgical failures. This clinical consensus statement aims to identify areas of agreement among a development group comprising international experts in OSA surgery, regarding the appropriate definition, predictive factors in patients, and management of surgical failure in OSA treatment.
