Article Abstract
Objective: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) interfaces have rapidly integrated into various societal domains. Widespread accessibility of GAI for drafting personal statements poses challenges for evaluators to gauge writing ability and personal insight. This study aims to compare the quality of GAI-generated personal statements to those written by successful applicants in OHNS residency programs, via integration of statistical and qualitative thematic analyses.
Methods: Personal statements were collected from successful OHNS residency applicants. Characteristic extraction from submitted statements was used to generate GAI-written personal statements using ChatGPT 4.0. All statements were blindly reviewed by 21 experienced evaluators on a 10-point Likert scale of authenticity, readability, personability, and overall quality. Thematic analysis of qualitative reviewer comments was conducted to extract deeper insights into evaluators' perceptions. Quantitative results were compared using independent t-tests, while thematic coding was performed inductively using NVivo software.
Results: GAI-generated personal statements significantly outperformed applicant-written statements in all assessed domains, including authenticity (7.67 vs. 7.05, p = 0.002), readability (8.03 vs. 7.49, p = 0.002), personability (7.33 vs. 6.72, p = 0.004), and overall score (7.49 vs. 6.90, p = 0.005). Thematic analysis revealed that GAI statements were seen as "well-constructed but generic," while applicant statements were often "verbose and lacked focus." Additionally, reviewers noted concerns regarding personal insight and engagement in AI-generated statements.
Conclusion: GAI-generated personal statements were rated more favorably across all domains, raising critical questions about the future of personal statements in the residency application process. While AI in medical education continues to evolve, clear guidelines on its ethical use in residency applications are essential.

Multi-class machine learning-based classification of SCID-related genetic variants.
Immunol Res
September 2025
Department of Immunology and Allergy, Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Türkiye.
Background: Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) represent a major diagnostic challenge in the interpretation of genetic testing results, particularly in the context of inborn errors of immunity such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The inconsistency among computational prediction tools often necessitates expensive and time-consuming wet-lab analyses.
Objective: This study aimed to develop disease-specific, multi-class machine learning models using in silico scores to classify SCID-associated genetic variants and improve the interpretation of VUS.

Statement Of Problem: Although custom temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prostheses manufactured via computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) and produced through 3-dimensional (3D) printing or computer numerical control (CNC) allow for sagittal curvature adjustments in the glenoid fossa, their design remains unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Consequently, the geometry is determined largely by the engineer's discretion, with limited biomechanical evidence to guide these decisions. The lack of validation regarding how sagittal curvature influences joint stress distribution under various anatomical and functional conditions represents a gap in current knowledge that warrants investigation.

Microbial processes have been extensively engineered to remove contaminants and recover value-added products. Despite their practical significance, these processes present unique challenges in both design and operation due to the inherent variability and complexity of microbial populations and communities. As the driving force of engineered microbial systems, the activity of microbial populations and the structure of their communities remain difficult to control and model.

Background: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) increases with aging, significantly contributing to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to investigate over-time changes in the prevalence of MetS and its components among the elderly population of Iran.
Methods: We analyzed data from the 2016 and 2021 national STEPwise approach to non-communicable disease risk factor Surveillance (STEPS) for participants aged ≥65 who completed all three survey steps (questionnaire-based assessments, physical measurements, and laboratory tests) with no missing data on MetS components.

On January 26th 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) recognized plausible grounds for genocide being committed in Gaza by Israel. A hallmark of the violence has been unprecedented attacks on health workers since October 7th, 2023. We use the word "genocide" to refer to this period of accelerated violence and displacement in Gaza, following ICJ findings, detailed reports by human rights organizations, and statements by genocide scholars concluding that Israel is indeed committing genocide.
