ABSTRACT Objective To compare the performance of Google Bard, Microsoft Copilot, GPT‐4 with vision (GPT‐4) and Gemini Ultra on OTO Chautauqua, a student‐created, faculty‐reviewed otolaryngology question bank. Study Design Comparative evaluation different LLMs. Setting N/A. Participants Methods Large language models (LLMs) are being extensively tested in medical education. However, their accuracy effectiveness remain understudied, particularly otolaryngology. This study involved inputting 350...
Background. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of Donation Advisor (DA), a validated clinical decision support tool that uses continuous monitoring, variability analysis, and predictive models, (i) predict likelihood successful donation after circulatory determination death (DCD) before withdrawal life-sustaining measures (WLSM), (ii) describe ischemia during WLSM in DCD patients. Methods. Eligible patients were screened at 5 sites where DA was implemented. reports generated real time...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Innovation is essential to address healthcare challenges like resource limitations, overcrowded emergency departments, provider burnout, and more. Implementing innovation in faces barriers, including resistance change, lack of multidisciplinary communication alignment, constraints The Actionable Day (AID) approach was developed these creating a model for distilling multidisciplinary, immediately applicable, consensus-based recommendations actionable change....
Survival after lung transplantation is limited by chronic allograft dysfunction (CLAD), an alloimmune fibrotic process leading to death or retransplantation a median of 6 years. Immunosuppression fails prevent CLAD, suggesting the existence drug-resistant pathways. We used time-of-flight mass cytometry identify cells enriched in bronchoalveolar lavage patients with subsequent acute (ALAD), risk factor for CLAD. show that CD4 + CD57 PD1 T emerge stable patients, conferring risks ALAD, and...
Background: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of OSCEai, a large language model-based platform that simulates clinical encounters, in enhancing undergraduate medical education. Methods: A web-based application, was developed bridge theoretical and practical learning. Following use, students from University Calgary Class 2026 completed an anonymized survey on usability, utility, overall experience OSCEai. Results: total 37 respondents answered survey. The OSCEai highly valued for...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Growing evidence has suggested the use of Early Warning Scores (EWSs) which integrate real-time vital sign monitoring, can help Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) proactively identify patients at risk deterioration. The Visensia Safety Index (VSI) is a novel EWS based on continuous monitoring. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This study aims to evaluate trial implementation portable monitoring system paired with machine learning index predict potential clinical...
Introduction: Among professional athletes, high altitude training is a popular technique due to its documented success on improving cardiovascular health and athletic performance. Nevertheless, there little consensus the guidelines for competition. This review sought summarize existing literature acclimatization recommendations competing at altitudes suggests blueprint that could be followed by athletes trainers. Methods: paper part of Altitude Nondifferentiated ECG Study (ANDES) project. A...
Abstract Lung transplantation is a life-saving therapy for end-stage pulmonary disease, but its long-term outlook poor due to high incidence of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). CLAD results from alloimmune-mediated progressive fibrosis and culminates in death or the need re-transplantation after median 6 years. Existing immunosuppression fails prevent CLAD, suggesting existence alloimmune pathways resistant these drugs. Here, we used mass cytometry identify cell populations...
