Background Large language models (LLMs) offer a potential solution to the labor-intensive nature of systematic reviews. This study evaluated ability GPT model identify articles that discuss perioperative risk factors for esophagectomy complications. To test performance model, we tested GPT-4 on narrower inclusion criterion and by assessing its discriminate relevant solely identified preoperative esophagectomy. Methods A literature search was run trained librarian studies ( n = 1,967)...
General surgeons play an important role in the provision of trauma care Canada and current extent their experience during training is unknown. We sought to quantify operative nonoperative educational experiences among Canadian general surgery trainees. conducted a multicentre retrospective study major exposures experienced by residents, as identified using institutional registries subsequent chart-level review, for 2008-2018. also site survey on education structure. collected data exposure...
Empyema is a common thoracic surgery presentation, defined as pus in the pleural space. Despite commonality of empyema, consensus on initial management remains ambiguous. Two standard care treatment options include inserting chest tube (thoracostomy) and administration intrapleural fibrinolytics, or an surgical approach, decortication. Due to complexity this space infection, often repeat interventions are required after order achieve source control resolution clinical symptoms. This study...
Research on informed consent (IC) has traditionally focused the documentation of discussion with patients potential complications. We sought to examine completeness for all elements IC laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC): complications, alternatives LC and details procedure. Differences in elective emergent were examined.A retrospective chart review undergoing at our institution between 2015 2017 was performed. Completeness defined as 3 clinic note, operating room note or form itself. Data...
Abstract The phosphatidylinositol 3kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is a major regulator tumor cell growth, proliferation and survival. Hotspot mutations PIK3CA are common in all subtypes breast cancer with prevalence approximately 30%. GDC-0077 potent ATP-competitive inhibitor PI3K alpha (IC50 = 0.038 ± 0.003 nM), thereby inhibiting the phosphorylation membranebound PIP2 to PIP3. Biochemically, more than 300fold selective over other...
# 01. Near-peer tutoring: an effective adjunct for virtual anatomy learning {#article-title-2} The start of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a shift in medical education from classroom to setting. This abrupt change led increase stress among students. In response, McGill
Burnout, often linked to increased stress, can impact student mental health, academic success, and overall well-being. To investigate animal-assisted interventions' (specifically a canine-assisted intervention; CAI) on stress burnout, free CAI event was held campus prior final exams (n = 41). Self-selecting participants completed the School Burnout Inventory (SBI; Salmela-Aro et al. 2009) Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen, Kamarch, Mermelstein 1983) before after event. Results showed...
