A comparative study of English and Japanese ChatGPT responses to anaesthesia-related medical questions.

Background: The expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) within large language models (LLMs) has the potential to streamline healthcare delivery. Despite the increased use of LLMs, disparities in their performance particularly in different languages, remain underexplored. This study examines the quality of ChatGPT responses in English and Japanese, specifically to questions related to anaesthesiology.

Barriers and aids to routine neuromuscular monitoring and consistent reversal practice-A qualitative study.

Background: Neuromuscular monitoring is recommended whenever a neuromuscular blocking agent is administered, but surveys have demonstrated inconsistent monitoring practices. Using qualitative methods, we aimed to explore barriers and aids to routine neuromuscular monitoring and consistent reversal practice.

Methods: Focus group interviews were conducted to obtain insights into the thoughts and attitudes of individual anaesthetists, as well as the influence of colleagues and department culture.

What Makes for Good Anesthesia Teaching by Faculty in the Operating Room? The Perspective of Anesthesiology Residents.

Background Teaching during patient care is an important competency for faculty. Little is known about anesthesiology resident preferences for teaching by anesthesiology faculty in the operating room (OR). If the behaviors and characteristics of anesthesia teaching in the OR that are most valued by residents were identified, faculty could incorporate that best practice to teach residents during OR cases.

Development of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination Using the American Board of Anesthesiology Content Outline for the Objective Structured Clinical Examination Component of the APPLIED Certification Examination.

The goal of this study was to use the American Board of Anesthesiology Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) content outline as a blueprint to develop and administer a 9-station mock OSCE with station-specific checklists to senior residents (n = 14). The G- and Ф-coefficient reliability estimates were 0.76 and 0.

A novel IKK inhibitor suppresses heart failure and chronic remodeling after myocardial ischemia via MMP alteration.

Objective: Amplification of inflammatory response in the non-infarct area plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ventricular remodeling after myocardial ischemia. Activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) is involved in this amplification through a positive feedback loop of pro- inflammatory cytokines. We investigated the efficacy of IKK blockade with IMD-0560, a novel inhibitor of IKK, in a rat myocardial ischemia model.
