Article Abstract

Background: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, there is a growing interest in the potential use of artificial intelligence-based tools like ChatGPT in medical education. However, there is limited research on the initial perceptions and experiences of faculty and students with ChatGPT, particularly in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the earliest knowledge, perceived benefits, concerns, and limitations of using ChatGPT in medical education among faculty and students at a leading Saudi Arabian university.

Methods: A qualitative exploratory study was conducted in April 2023, involving focused meetings with medical faculty and students with varying levels of ChatGPT experience. A thematic analysis was used to identify key themes and subthemes emerging from the discussions.

Results: Participants demonstrated good knowledge of ChatGPT and its functions. The main themes were perceptions of ChatGPT use, potential benefits, and concerns about ChatGPT in research and medical education. The perceived benefits included collecting and summarizing information and saving time and effort. However, concerns and limitations centered around the potential lack of critical thinking in the information provided, the ambiguity of references, limitations of access, trust in the output of ChatGPT, and ethical concerns.

Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the perceptions and experiences of medical faculty and students regarding the use of newly introduced large language models like ChatGPT in medical education. While the benefits of ChatGPT were recognized, participants also expressed concerns and limitations requiring further studies for effective integration into medical education, exploring the impact of ChatGPT on learning outcomes, student and faculty satisfaction, and the development of critical thinking skills.

Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.

Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.

Gene dysregulation impairs placental angiogenesis in allogeneic pig pregnancies.

Embryo transfer (ET) is a valuable reproductive technology in pigs, albeit its efficiency remains significantly lower than that of natural mating or artificial insemination (AI), owing to high embryonic death rates. Critical for embryo survival and pregnancy success is the placenta, which supports conceptus development through nutrient exchange, hormone production, and immune modulation. Alterations in placental development and function may therefore underlie the reduced efficiency of ET.

[Reflections derived from report: The Lancet commission on medicine, nazism, and the holocaust: historical evidence, implications for today, teaching for tomorrow].

Although, in principle, the Lancet article Commission on Medicine, Nazism, and the Holocaust, aims to provide medical students with a moral compass to guide the future of medical practice as a social retaining wall against anti-Semitism, it deals with the Holocaust not from a philosophical point of view, but from a pedagogical one, resorting to didactic strategies from a historiographical approach. What seemed to be a plea against the behaviour of the Nazi doctors' experiments becomes a justification of the positive law of the liberal democracies in use. However, what it ignores is of the utmost importance: that the majority of the regime's doctors were tried and sentenced for their iniquitous actions, and yet, in contemporary Western society, an even greater danger is very much present: techno-science, which, as it stands, can once again compromise the identity, dignity and very life of the human person.

Objective: To evaluate depression in postmenopausal women and to explore the relationship between age at menopause, hormone therapy, and depression, while also identifying potential mediators that may explain these associations.

Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2005-2020) for women older than 60 years who completed the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) depression questionnaire (n=7,027). Exposures included age at menopause and self-reported hormone therapy; the outcome was depression severity (PHQ-9 ≥10).
