Depression is a severe and usually recurrent mental disorder which leads to a prominent impairment of physical and social functioning, a reduced quality of life of the patients, implies as well an increased morbidity and mortality. Reducing the social-economic depression burden is possible in the optimization of decision-making process of antidepressant choice (including SSRIs and SNRIs) based on the evidence-based risk/benefit ratio and resource saving potential treatment involving target psychosocial interventions and monitoring of long-term treatment adherence.

Background: In 1962, the idea emerged that medical students' tolerance of uncertainty could determine their specialty choice. While some studies supported this claim, others refuted it, often using independently developed instruments. We explored whether the reported link between specialty choice and uncertainty tolerance is more myth than evidence by employing established instruments to investigate whether specialty choice could be explained by variance in uncertainty tolerance.

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is the most common congenital motility disorder of the intestine, characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses, leading to functional bowel obstruction. Short-segment Hirschsprung disease (SS-HSCR) accounts for the majority of cases, with surgical resection being the cornerstone of treatment. Despite advances in surgical techniques, considerable variability exists in practice regarding the timing of surgery, the choice of technique, and the length of aganglionic rectal cuff to resect.

Background: Telehomecare monitoring (TM) in patients with cancer is a complex intervention. Research shows variations in the benefits and challenges TM brings to equitable access to care, the therapeutic relationship, self-management, and practice transformation. Further investigation into these variations factors will improve implementation processes and produce effective outcomes.

Methods to quantitatively synthesize findings across multiple studies is an emerging need in wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), where disease tracking through wastewater analysis is performed at broad geographical locations using various techniques to facilitate public health responses. Meta-analysis provides a rigorous statistical procedure for research synthesis, yet the manual process of screening large volumes of literature remains a hurdle for its application in timely evidence-based public health responses. Here, we evaluated the performance of GPT-3, GPT-3.
