ChatGPT performance on radiation technologist and therapist entry to practice exams.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe the proficiency of ChatGPT (GPT-4) on certification style exams from the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), and describe its performance across multiple exam attempts.

Methods: ChatGPT was prompted with questions from CAMRT practice exams in the disciplines of radiological technology, magnetic resonance (MRI), nuclear medicine and radiation therapy (87-98 questions each). ChatGPT attempted each exam five times.

A descriptive study found low prevalence of presumed predatory publications in a subset of Cochrane reviews.

Objectives: To examine the prevalence of presumed predatory publications in Cochrane reviews, which are considered the gold standard.

Study Design And Setting: We selected two Cochrane networks with broad scope: the Musculoskeletal, Oral, Skin and Sensory Network and the Public Health and Health Systems Network. From reviews produced by all review groups in those networks in 2018 and 2019, we extracted included study citations published after 2000.

Case report: Aquarium palytoxin induced keratoconjunctivitis.

Purpose: This case report describes the therapeutic management of a 61-year-old male who experienced aquarium coral keratoconjunctivitis caused by exposure to palytoxin and provides an additional resource to raise awareness and treat patients with ocular exposure to palytoxin.

Observations: A 61-year-old male inadvertently touched his left eye while cleaning an aquarium. Within 24 hours, pain, redness and visual blurring was noted.

Experiences of family members of patients treated with targeted temperature management post cardiac arrest: a qualitative systematic review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the experiences of family members of patients who receive targeted temperature management following the return of spontaneous circulation after a cardiac arrest.

Introduction: Since 2002, targeted temperature management has become an international standard of care for the preservation of neurological status for patients following a cardiac arrest and who remain comatose. During this process, survivors are placed into a mild hypothermic state with their body temperature maintained at 32°C to 36°C for a minimum of 24 hours.

Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: Mood, Cognition and Fatigue Following Stroke practice guidelines, update 2015.

Every year, approximately 62 000 people with stroke and transient ischemic attack are treated in Canadian hospitals, and the evidence suggests one-third or more will experience vascular-cognitive impairment, and/or intractable fatigue, either alone or in combination. The 2015 update of the Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: Mood, Cognition and Fatigue Module guideline is a comprehensive summary of current evidence-based recommendations for clinicians in a range of settings, who provide care to patients following stroke. The three consequences of stroke that are the focus of the this guideline (poststroke depression, vascular cognitive impairment, and fatigue) have high incidence rates and significant impact on the lives of people who have had a stroke, impede recovery, and result in worse long-term outcomes.
