Implications of plastic ingestion on the growth and fledging success of shearwaters.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia; CSIRO Environment, Hobart, Australia.

Ingestion of plastic can have negative health consequences for wildlife. However, our understanding of the physiological impacts of plastics is limited, often relying on opportunistic sampling. We partnered with Tasmanian Aboriginal seabird harvesters, wildlife rescue clinics, and parks managers, to collect >400 fledgling yula/short-tailed and flesh-footed shearwaters across a spectrum of body conditions.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) imposes a significant global health and economic burden, impacting millions globally. Despite its high prevalence, public awareness and understanding of CKD remain limited, leading to delayed diagnosis and suboptimal management. Traditional patient education methods, such as 1-on-1 verbal instruction or printed brochures, are often insufficient, especially considering the shortage of nursing staff.

Artificial Doctors: Performance of Chatbots as a Tool for Patient Education on Keratoconus.

Eye Contact Lens

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology (Z.O.O.), Gaziantep State Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey; Department of Ophthalmology (L.D.), Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, Niğde, Turkey; and Department of Ophthalmology (I.E.Y.), Gaziantep Dr. Ersin Arslan Training and Research Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the answers given by ChatGPT, Bard, and Copilot and that obtained from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) website to patient-written questions related to keratoconus in terms of accuracy, understandability, actionability, and readability to find out whether chatbots can be used in patient education.

Methods: Twenty patient-written questions obtained from the AAO website related to keratoconus were asked to ChatGPT, Bard, and Copilot. Two ophthalmologists independently assessed the answers obtained from chatbots and the AAO website in terms of accuracy, understandability, and actionability according to the Structure of Observed Learning Outcome taxonomy, Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool-Understandability, and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool-Actionability tests, respectively.
