Article Abstract
Medical residents are among the most important and influential members of the medical team and the level of their knowledge regarding potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is a good predictor of the ability to prevent the occurrence of DDIs, as well as safe and rational prescribing in inpatient settings. This survey was designed to evaluate internal medicine and cardiology residents' knowledge and opinion toward DDIs and to determine different sources of DDI information used by this population. This cross-sectional knowledge attitude practice (KAP) questionnaire study was conducted in Shiraz, Iran. A 25-question questionnaire was designed and completed by 86 internal medicine and cardiology residents. The questions were related to the participants' demographic information, their practice characteristics, the information sources used by the participants, the residents' opinion regarding DDIs, and their knowledge regarding the interaction between 8 drug pairs. The results showed that when the participants wanted to learn more about DDIs, most of them used software on mobile or tablet (59.3%). Nearly three-fourths of the participants (73.82%) reported that when a patient was about to be exposed to a potential DDI, they were informed by software on mobile or tablet that the interaction may be present. On average, residents answered 44.03% ± 23.79 of drug pair questions correctly. Our results show insufficient practice skills, as well as relatively poor knowledge concerning the participants' answers to questions. It seems that further practical training and education are required to enable prescribers to prevent potential DDIs.

Background: Recent studies suggest that large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are useful tools for medical students or residents when preparing for examinations. These studies, especially those conducted with multiple-choice questions, emphasize that the level of knowledge and response consistency of the LLMs are generally acceptable; however, further optimization is needed in areas such as case discussion, interpretation, and language proficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of six distinct LLMs for Turkish and English neurosurgery multiple-choice questions and assess their accuracy and consistency in a specialized medical context.

Background: The increasing rate of cesarean section births is a global concern, including in Tanzania, where cesarean section births account for 11% of live births. Following a cesarean section, mothers are commonly discharged early to reduce ward congestion; as a result, they are required to receive care at home. However, evidence indicates that mothers receive limited or no information on post-cesarean section home care, which increases the risk of complications.
