Article Abstract
Conservation breeding and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) are invaluable tools to save wild animal species that are on the brink of extinction. Microfluidic devices recently developed for human or domestic animal reproductive medicine could significantly help to increase knowledge about fertility and contribute to the success of ART in wildlife. Some of these microfluidic tools could be applied to wild species, but dedicated efforts will be necessary to meet specific needs in animal conservation; for example, they need to be cost-effective, applicable to multiple species, and field-friendly. Microfluidics represents only one powerful technology in a complex toolbox and must be integrated with other approaches to be impactful in managing wildlife reproduction.

Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, represent substantial global health challenges due to their chronic and often progressive nature. While allopathic medicine offers a range of pharmacological interventions aimed at managing symptoms and mitigating disease progression, it is accompanied by limitations, including adverse side effects, the development of drug resistance, and incomplete efficacy. In parallel, phytochemicals-bioactive compounds derived from plants-are receiving increased attention for their potential neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the performance of two versions of ChatGPT (o1 and 4o) in making decisions about coronary revascularization and to compare the recommendations of these versions with those of a multidisciplinary Heart Team. Moreover, the study aimed to assess whether the decisions generated by ChatGPT, based on the internal knowledge base of the system and clinical guidelines, align with expert recommendations in real-world coronary artery disease management. Given the increasing prevalence and processing capabilities of large language models, such as ChatGPT, this comparison offers insights into the potential applicability of these systems in complex clinical decision-making.
