Exploring the adoption and utilisation of ChatGPT in everyday academic practices among medical and dental students of Rawalpindi and Islamabad: a study on the impact and perceived effectiveness.

Objectives: To assess the usage of chatbot generative pretrained transformer among medical and dental students in Pakistan.

Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Army Medical College, National University of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan, from June 15 to July 31, 2023, and comprised medical and dental students in public and private medical and dental colleges of Rawalpindi and Islamabad who had used the chatbot generative pretrained transformer programme at least once for their academics or had prior knowledge of it. Responses were obtained through a structured online survey.

A gender-based study of symptoms and risk factors associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients in a tertiary care hospital, Lahore.

Objective: To determine the symptoms and risk factors associated with gender-specific mortality among coronavirus disease-2019 patients.

Methods: The retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the coronavirus disease-2019 ward of the Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised record of confirmed cases of coronavirus disease-2019 diagnosed on the basis of characteristic clinical symptoms, radiological findings and polymerase chain reaction positivity from May 1 to August 31, 2020. Clinical symptoms, comorbidities and outcomes were extracted from the medical records.

Logical Entropy of Information Sources.

In this paper, we present the concept of the logical entropy of order , logical mutual information, and the logical entropy for information sources. We found upper and lower bounds for the logical entropy of a random variable by using convex functions. We show that the logical entropy of the joint distributions X1 and X2 is always less than the sum of the logical entropy of the variables X1 and X2.

Hosoya Polynomial for Subdivided Caterpillar Graphs.

Background: Computing Hosoya polynomial for a graph associated with a chemical compound plays a vital role in the field of chemistry. From Hosoya polynomial, it is easy to compute the Weiner index(Weiner number) and Hyper Weiner index of the underlying molecular structure. The Wiener number enables the identifying of three basic features of molecular topology: branching, cyclicity, and centricity (or centrality) and their specific patterns, which are well reflected by the physicochemical properties of chemical compounds.

-polynomial exponential type -convex function with some related inequalities and their applications.

In this paper, the idea and its algebraic properties of -polynomial exponential type -convex function have been investigated. Authors prove new trapezium type inequality for this new class of functions. We also obtain some refinements of the trapezium type inequality for functions whose first derivative in absolute value at certain power are -polynomial exponential type -convex.

A Patient-Specific Single Sensor IoT-Based Wearable Fall Prediction and Detection System.

Falls in older adults are a major cause of morbidity and mortality and are a key class of preventable injuries. This paper presents a patient-specific (PS) fall prediction and detection prototype system that utilizes a single tri-axial accelerometer attached to the patient's thigh to distinguish between activities of daily living (ADL) and fall events. The proposed system consists of two modes of operation: 1) fast mode for fall predication (FMFP) predicting a fall event (300-700 msec) before occurring and 2) slow mode for fall detection (SMFD) with a 1-sec latency for detecting a fall event.

Role of key players in paradigm shifts of prostate cancer bone metastasis.

The decreased bone mineral density and compromised bone strength predispose individuals to skeletal osteoporosis. Both prostate cancer and bone metastasis caused by cancer invasion have remained a great challenge to researchers. With the advancement in the fields of biochemistry and biomechanics, the molecular mechanisms that make prostate cancer metastasize to bone have recently been identified, and they provide new molecular targets for drug development.

New generalizations of Popoviciu-type inequalities via new Green's functions and Montgomery identity.

The inequality of Popoviciu, which was improved by Vasić and Stanković (Math. Balk. 6:281-288, 1976), is generalized by using new identities involving new Green's functions.
