The use of a ChatGPT-4-based chatbot in teledermatology: A retrospective exploratory study.

Background And Objectives: Integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare, particularly ChatGPT, is transforming medical diagnostics and may benefit teledermatology. This exploratory study compared image description and differential diagnosis generation by a ChatGPT-4 based chatbot with human teledermatologists.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study compared 154 teledermatology consultations (December 2023-February 2024) with ChatGPT-4's performance in image descriptions and diagnoses.

Non-Male Factor Only-ICSI Can Overcome Oocyte Factor in PCOS Patients.

In this research, we retrospectively studied the influence of the IVF vs. the ICSI technique on embryo morphokinetics by means of a time-lapse incubator in fresh cycles. A total of 2645 treatment cycles resulting in ovum pick-up of 11,471 fertilized oocytes were included in the research from 2018 to 2022.

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis radiologic features in interstitial lung diseases.

Background: The radiologic criteria of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) guidelines focus on four HP compatible features (HPCF) in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT): ground glass opacities, mosaic attenuation, air-trapping, and centrilobular nodules. However, evidence to support these criteria are limited.

Methods: Consecutive interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients who underwent HRCT between 2016 and 2021 in three medical centers were included.

Data Sources: With a combination of personal experience and literature review of PubMed database and dermatology society resources, this article serves as the first comprehensive guide for how to prepare a talk for an international dermatology conference.

Conclusion: Conferences are an excellent opportunity to learn more about yourself, your field, and others throughout the world.

Real-world efficacy and safety of dupilumab for paediatric atopic dermatitis: a multicentre retrospective study.

Background: Real-world data regarding the use of dupilumab in children with atopic dermatitis (AD) are limited.

Objectives: To evaluate the real-world efficacy of dupilumab in children with moderate-to-severe AD over an extended follow-up period.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients (≤ 18 years) with moderate-to-severe AD treated with dupilumab in four Israeli tertiary centres.

Targeting neutrophil serine proteases in bronchiectasis.

Persistent neutrophilic inflammation is a central feature in both the pathogenesis and progression of bronchiectasis. Neutrophils release neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs), such as neutrophil elastase (NE), cathepsin G and proteinase 3. When chronically high levels of free NSP activity exceed those of protective antiproteases, structural lung destruction, mucosal-related defects, further susceptibility to infection and worsening of clinical outcomes can occur.

Real-World Adherence to a Delirium Screening Test Administered by Nurses and Medical Staff during Routine Patient Care.

Delirium is often the first symptom of incipient acute illness or complications and must therefore be detected promptly. Nevertheless, routine screening for delirium in acute care hospital wards is often inadequate. We recently implemented a simple, user-friendly delirium screening test (RMA) that can be administered during ward rounds and routine nursing care.

Retrograde Umbilical Hernia Repair During Abdominoplasty: A Safe and Simple Technique.

Background: Abdominoplasties are a very common procedure that is geared toward improving the abdominal contour and restoring quality of life. Main candidates for surgery are postpartum patients and patients after massive weight lost results in excess skin. The high incidence of umbilical hernias in the general population raises the question of whether combining its repair with cosmetic abdominoplasties is a safe and effective procedure.

Niraparib first-line maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer: final overall survival results from the PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 trial.

Background: The phase III PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 trial met its primary endpoint. Niraparib first-line maintenance significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) among patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer that responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, regardless of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status. Final overall survival (OS) results are reported.

Pulmonary hypertension associated with lung diseases.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with chronic lung disease (CLD) is both common and underrecognised. The presence of PH in the setting of lung disease has been consistently shown to be associated with worse outcomes. Recent epidemiological studies have advanced understanding of the heterogeneity of this patient population and shown that defining both the specific type of CLD as well as the severity of PH ( deeper phenotyping) is necessary to inform natural history and prognosis.

Prevention and Treatment of Skin Pigmentation Disorders.

Pigmentation disorders are conditions that affect the color of a person's skin [...

Efficacy, adherence and persistence of various glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists: nationwide real-life data.

Aim: The management of type 2 diabetes mellitus has advanced in the last two decades since the introduction of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). However, multiple factors may interfere with achieving better glycaemic control. This study evaluated the differences between various GLP-1RAs in efficacy, adherence and persistence.

Reversed halo sign as a radiological feature of tuberculosis - Report of two cases.

Reversed halo sign (RHS) is a radiological feature described as a focal, rounded area of ground-glass opacity surrounded by a ring of consolidation. In this report we describe two unique radiological cases demonstrating diffuse bilateral infiltrates with multiple RHSs in chest CT scans. Both patients were ultimately diagnosed as having tuberculosis (TB) and had been exposed to silica in the past.
