Utilizing Next-Generation Sequencing: Advancements in the Diagnosis of Fungal Infections.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has emerged as a promising tool for diagnosing fungal infections. It enables the identification of a wide range of fungal species and provides more accurate and rapid results than traditional diagnostic methods. NGS-based approaches involve the sequencing of DNA or RNA from clinical samples, which can be used to detect and identify fungal pathogens in complex clinical samples.

Transforming Medical Education: Assessing the Integration of ChatGPT Into Faculty Workflows at a Caribbean Medical School.

Introduction: ChatGPT is a Large Language Model (LLM) which allows for natural language processing and interactions with users in a conversational style. Since its release in 2022, it has had a significant impact in many occupational fields, including medical education.

The Association of Microbiome Dysbiosis With Colorectal Cancer.

Many studies have been conducted to identify the causative organisms in colorectal cancer (CRC) and compare the microbiota of healthy individuals and those with CRC. The pathways by which the microbiota promotes CRC development are not yet fully understood. The hypothesized mechanisms include damage to the DNA, production of carcinogenic metabolites, and promotion of chronic inflammation.
