Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how older adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) perceive aging, aiming to gather insights for future interventions that promote successful aging in this population.
  • Through semi-structured interviews with 30 participants aged 65 and older, four main themes emerged: the impact of SLE and other health conditions, the cumulative effects of SLE symptoms, the disease trajectory, and individuals' self-perceptions of aging.
  • Findings revealed a mix of positive and negative self-perceptions regarding aging among participants, shaped by their experiences with SLE, highlighting the need for tailored strategies that can enhance their resilience and quality of life. *

Rationale And Objectives: Prior to clinical presentations of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), neuropathological changes, such as amyloid-β and brain atrophy, have accumulated at the earlier stages of the disease. The combination of such biomarkers assessed by multiple modalities commonly improves the likelihood of AD etiology. We aimed to explore the discriminative ability of Aβ PET features and whether combining Aβ PET and structural MRI features can improve the classification performance of the machine learning model in older healthy control (OHC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from AD.

Artificial intelligence has demonstrated a promising potential for diagnosing complex medical cases, with Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4) being the most recent advancement in this field. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the GPT-4 in comparison with that of its predecessor, GPT-3.5, using 81 complex medical case records from the New England Journal of Medicine .

Generative pre-trained transformer 4 (GPT-4) is an artificial intelligence (AI) system with a chat interface. The number of studies testing GPT-4 in clinical applications has been increasing. We hypothesized that GPT-4 would be able to suggest management strategies for medical issues in elderly oncology patients, similar to those provided by geriatricians.
