Background: To evaluate the accuracy of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), a large language model (LLM), to assist in diagnosing neuro-ophthalmic diseases based on case reports.

Methods: We selected 22 different case reports of neuro-ophthalmic diseases from a publicly available online database. These cases included a wide range of chronic and acute diseases commonly seen by neuro-ophthalmic subspecialists.

This study aimed to estimate the effects of chitosan/ corn starch (CH/ CS equal 62:38) film in combination with nettle essential oil nanoemulsions (0.41 wt% NEONEs) and starch nanocrystals (6 wt% SNCs) on the microbial and qualitative characteristics of the fillets during refrigeration storage (4 ± 1 °C). The fillets were covered by biopolymeric films (CH/CS, CH/CS/SNCs, CH/CS/ NEONEs, CH/CS/SNCs/NEONEs).

Background & Aims: The enteric nervous system (ENS), which is composed of neurons and glia, regulates intestinal motility. Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) results from defects in ENS formation; however, although neuronal aspects have been studied extensively, enteric glia remain disregarded. This study aimed to explore enteric glia diversity in health and disease.

Eosinophils, a type of granulocyte derived from myeloid precursors in the bone marrow, are distinguished by their cytoplasmic granules. They play crucial roles in immunoregulation, tissue homeostasis, and host defense, while also contributing to the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to be involved in eosinophilic conditions, their specific expression and functions within eosinophils have not been thoroughly investigated, largely due to the reliance on tissue homogenates.
