Background: Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT), a newly developed pretrained artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, is able to interpret and respond to user-generated questions. As such, many questions have been raised about its potential uses and limitations. While preliminary literature suggests that ChatGPT can be used in medicine as a research assistant and patient consultant, its reliability in providing original and accurate information is still unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to conduct a review on the utility of ChatGPT in plastic surgery.
Methods: On August 25, 2023, a thorough literature search was conducted on PubMed. Papers involving ChatGPT and medical research were included. Papers that were not written in English were excluded. Related papers were evaluated and synthesized into 3 information domains: generating original research topics, summarizing and extracting information from medical literature and databases, and conducting patient consultation.
Results: Out of 57 initial papers, 8 met inclusion criteria. An additional 2 were added based on the references of relevant papers, bringing the total number to 10. ChatGPT can be useful in helping clinicians brainstorm and gain a general understanding of the literature landscape. However, its inability to give patient-specific information and act as a reliable source of information limit its use in patient consultation.
Conclusion: ChatGPT can be a useful tool in the conception of and execution of literature searches and research information retrieval (with increased reliability when queries are specific); however, the technology is currently not reliable enough to be implemented in a clinical setting.

Fidson Health Care PLC, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
This study assessed the factors militating against the effective implementation of electronic health records (EHR) in Nigeria, the computerization of patients' health records with a lot of benefits including improved patients' satisfaction, improved care processes, reduction of patients' waiting time, and medication errors. Despite these benefits, healthcare organizations are slow to adopt the EHR system. Therefore, the study assessed the factors militating against the effective implementation of the EHR system, the level of awareness of EHR, and the utilization of electronic health records; it also investigated the factors militating against the effective implementation of EHR.

Department of Cardiology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 37 Guoxue Alley, Wuhou District, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan, China.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has been used to guide radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for better catheter navigation and less radiation exposure in treating atrial fibrillation (AF). This retrospective cohort study enrolled 227 AF patients undergoing ICE- or traditional fluoroscopy (TF)-guided RFCA for AF in a tertiary hospital. ICE was used more often in patients with atrial tachycardia [odds ratio (OR) 3.

This study aimed to explore a deep learning radiomics (DLR) model based on grayscale ultrasound images to assist radiologists in distinguishing between benign breast lesions (BBL) and malignant breast lesions (MBL). A total of 382 patients with breast lesions were included, comprising 183 benign lesions and 199 malignant lesions that were collected and confirmed through clinical pathology or biopsy. The enrolled patients were randomly allocated into two groups: a training cohort and an independent test cohort, maintaining a ratio of 7:3.

Department of Radiology, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe, Japan.
Cine-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to track respiratory-induced motion of the liver and tumor and assist in the accurate delineation of tumor volume. Recent developments in compressed sensitivity encoding (SENSE; CS) have accelerated temporal resolution while maintaining contrast resolution. This study aimed to develop and assess hepatobiliary phase (HBP) cine-MRI scans using CS.
