The widespread diffusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms is revolutionizing how health-related information disseminated, thereby highlighting the need for tools to evaluate quality such information. This study aimed propose and validate Quality Assessment Medical (QAMAI), a tool specifically designed assess health provided by AI platforms.
In the evolving field of maxillofacial surgery, integrating advanced technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) into medical practices, especially for trauma triage, presents a promising yet largely unexplored potential. This study aimed to evaluate feasibility using LLMs triaging complex cases by comparing their performance against expertise tertiary referral center.
Objective To ensure the safety and quality of vaccines, especially newest RNA-vaccines against COVID-19, is one World Health Organization's current highest priorities.
An altered sense of smell and taste was recognized as one the most characteristic symptoms coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19). Despite patients experiencing a complete functional resolution, there is 21.3% prevalence persistent alteration at 12 months after infection. To date, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in these have been variable not clearly defined. We aimed to clarify radiological alterations olfactory pathways with long COVID-19 characterized by dysfunction. A...
