Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) may present with predominant involvement of the spinal cord and optic nerve (MS/w-SCON) and mimic other autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disorders (AIDD) such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and relapsing inflammatory optic neuritis (RION). Thus, biomarkers are required for effective differential diagnosis of AIDD.

Methods: Patients with MS/w-SCON (n = 20), MS without involvement of SCON (MS/wo-SCON) (n = 22), NMOSD (n = 16), RION (n = 15) and healthy individuals (n = 21) were included.

October 2024

From the Department of Radiological Sciences, UCI Medical Center, University of California, Irvine, 101 The City Dr S, Orange, CA 92868 (S.H.S., K.H., G.C., R. Hill, J.T., R. Houshyar, V.Y., M.T.); Anaheim, Calif (L.Y.); and Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, Pleasanton, Calif (A.L.N.).

Background The burgeoning interest in ChatGPT as a potentially useful tool in medicine highlights the necessity for systematic evaluation of its capabilities and limitations. Purpose To evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and repeatability of differential diagnoses produced by ChatGPT from transcribed radiologic findings. Materials and Methods Cases selected from a radiology textbook series spanning a variety of imaging modalities, subspecialties, and anatomic pathologies were converted into standardized prompts that were entered into ChatGPT (GPT-3.

Background And Objectives: We recently published expert consensus-based curricular objectives for routine EEG (rEEG) interpretation for adult and child neurology residents. In this study, we used this curriculum framework to develop and validate an online, competency-based, formative and summative rEEG examination for neurology residents.

Methods: We developed an online rEEG examination consisting of a brief survey and 30 multiple-choice questions covering EEG learning objectives for neurology residents in 4 domains: normal, abnormal, normal variants, and artifacts.

Background: Evidence from clinical trials of early pulsed field ablation (PFA) systems in treating atrial fibrillation has demonstrated their promising potential to reduce complications associated with conventional thermal modalities while maintaining efficacy. However, the lack of a fully integrated mapping system, a staple technology of most modern electrophysiology procedures, poses limitations in lesion creation and workflow options. A novel variable-loop PFA catheter integrated with an electroanatomic mapping system has been developed that allows for real-time nonfluoroscopic procedural guidance and lesion indexing as well as feedback of tissue-to-catheter proximity.
