Aim: Determine if low-cost magnification devices (USB computer microscope, smartphone) enable the acquisition and maintenance of basic microsurgical skills by comparing skills learned using these devices against those learned using a surgical microscope. Determine whether skills acquired using these devices can be transferred to the surgical microscope.
Material And Methods: Twelve neurosurgical participants, ranging from faculty to postgraduate year-1 trainees, were randomly divided into three groups for training using a surgical microscope, smartphone, or USB microscope.

Despite advancements in engineered heart tissue (EHT), challenges persist in achieving accurate dimensional accuracy of scaffolds and maturing human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), a primary source of functional cardiac cells. Drawing inspiration from cardiac muscle fiber arrangement, a three-dimensional (3D)-printed multi-layered microporous polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold is created with interlayer angles set at 45° to replicate the precise structure of native cardiac tissue. Compared with the control group and 90° PCL scaffolds, the 45° PCL scaffolds exhibited superior biocompatibility for cell culture and improved hiPSC-CM maturation in calcium handling.

Purpose: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education has witnessed significant progress, particularly in the domain of language models. This study focuses on assessing the performance of two notable language models, ChatGPT and BingAI Precise, in answering the National Eligibility Entrance Test for Postgraduates (NEET-PG)-style practice questions, simulating medical exam formats.
Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in June 2023 involved assessing ChatGPT and BingAI Precise using three sets of NEET-PG practice exams, comprising 200 questions each.
