Qualitatively Assessing ChatGPT Responses to Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

Background: ChatGPT, a large language model artificial intelligence platform that uses natural language processing, has seen its implementation across a number of sectors, notably in healthcare. However, there remains limited understanding regarding the efficacy of ChatGPT in addressing commonly asked questions on public health subjects. This study aimed to investigate whether ChatGPT could appropriately answer frequently asked questions related to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Educational concepts: A longitudinal interleaved curriculum for emergency medicine residency training.

Traditionally, emergency medicine (EM) residency programs teach non-adult emergency department activities (such as pediatric EM, point-of-care ultrasound [PoCUS], emergency medical services, and others) in a block format. In this way, a resident may have a 1-month pediatric EM rotation and then not have any further pediatric EM exposure until their next pediatric rotation 6‒9 months later. Furthermore, some rotations are only allotted for 1-month during the entire residency.

Concurrent cecal lipoma and Crohn's disease in a pediatric patient: A conservative approach.

We report the case of a 14-year-old patient with a known history of Crohn's disease who was incidentally diagnosed with an asymptomatic cecal lipoma. A routine surveillance colonoscopy as part of the management of the patient's Crohn's Disease revealed a well-defined, submucosal, yellowish mass in the patient's cecum. Histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen revealed submucosal adipose tissue, consistent with the endoscopic images showing the characteristic appearance of the lipoma.

Outcomes following revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty for infection.

Background: In comparison to primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) procedures, revision arthroplasty can be a longer and more complex procedure leading to an increased risk of complications. The reported rates of infection in primary RSA range from 1% to 19% and the cost impact on patients and health care systems is significant, leading to multiple revision surgeries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the postoperative outcomes, complications, and revision rates for revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rRSA) due to infection compared with rRSA for noninfectious causes.

Access to Total Knee Arthroplasty for Military Insured Patients.

Background: Rigorous training may lead to increased rates of knee osteoarthritis and arthroplasties in military service members. Given the large numbers of arthritis and the increasing need for total joint replacements, access to appropriate care can be difficult for this population based on insurance restrictions. The aim of this study was to evaluate access to total knee arthroplasty for TRICARE patients in contracted civilian medical facilities.

Gut Microbiome and Dietar Considerations.

The gut microbiome represents a complex microbial ecosystem that exerts direct and indirect effects on other organ systems and contributes to both health and disease. It is sensitive to various stimuli such as childhood immunity, medications, diet, stressors, and sleep. Modulating the gut microbiome can prevent and even treat certain disease states.

Factor structure of Pre-Loss Grief-12 in caregivers of people living with dementia.

Introduction: The objective was to develop and refine a version of the Prolonged-Loss Grief-12 (PG-12) specific to caregivers of people living with dementia. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to test the fit of the data from the caregivers and to assess the factor structure of the PG-12 in order to evaluate pre-loss grief accurately by identifying relevant items and eliminating items that are not appropriate for caregivers of persons with dementia.

Methods: A total of 699 eligible caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLWDs) were recruited through relevant dementia associations and organizations.

Enhancing Dementia Education and Cognitive Screening in A Haitian Population: A Faith-based Approach.

Ethnically diverse Americans experience 1.8-2.5 times higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than Whites (Mayeda, et al.

Optimizing the Virtual Otolaryngology Residency Information Sessions: A Survey of Applicants.

The 2020-2021 otolaryngology residency application cycle has been immensely distorted by travel restrictions mandated in response to coronavirus disease 2019, limiting opportunities for applicants to meet and rotate with programs of interest. The purpose of this study was to evaluate otolaryngology applicants' preferences toward the content and format of virtual residency information sessions. An anonymous online survey was developed to gauge applicants' virtual exposure to otolaryngology programs and investigate their preferences during virtual sessions.

A Novel Treatment for Neurotrophic Corneal Ulcer Using Topical Cenegermin (OXERVATE™) Containing Recombinant Human Nerve Growth Factor.

Neurotrophic keratitis represents a complex degeneration of the cornea that can result in debilitating symptoms and serious sight-threatening complications. Patients with neurotrophic keratitis (NK) usually present with a history of corneal injury or past surgical intervention involving damage to the corneal nerves; as well as, chronic ocular surface disease. This nerve damage results in sensory loss and poor healing to the corneal tissues.

A Review of Cardiac Complications in Coronavirus Disease 2019.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has shown an association with acute myocardial injury, cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis. Individuals with myocardial involvement in association with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be at increased risk of developing severe illness. Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases of the myocardium associated with mechanical and/or electrical dysfunction that usually exhibit inappropriate ventricular hypertrophy or dilation and are due to a variety of causes that frequently are genetic.

New Preoperative Spinal Cord Ischemia Risk Stratification Model for Patients Undergoing Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair.

Purpose: Our objective was to determine significant predictors of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) following Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) and to further develop a simple and clinically orientated risk score model.

Methods: A retrospective review of data from the Society of Vascular Surgery/Vascular Quality Initiative national data set was performed for all patients undergoing TEVAR from January, 2014 to June 2018. Preoperative demographics, procedure-related variables, and clinical details related to SCI were examined.

GABA receptor attenuation of GABA currents in neurons of the mammalian central nervous system.

Ionotropic receptors are tightly regulated by second messenger systems and are often present along with their metabotropic counterparts on a neuron's plasma membrane. This leads to the hypothesis that the two receptor subtypes can interact, and indeed this has been observed in excitatory glutamate and inhibitory GABA receptors. In both systems the metabotropic pathway augments the ionotropic receptor response.

Care plans reduce ED visits in those with drug-seeking behavior.

Unlabelled: Patients with drug-seeking behavior can be both labor and resource intensive to the emergency department (ED).

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of ED care plans for individuals at high risk for drug-seeking behavior on ED visits.

Methods: A retrospective, cohort observational study.

Experience of self-management of medications among older people with multimorbidity.

Aims And Objectives: To explore the experience of self-managing medication among older people with multimorbidity.

Background: Older people with multimorbidity are now more likely to live at home and to self-medicate. Reduced assistance from professional caregivers is associated with medical errors.
