Both dermatologists and patients require access to up-to-date and accurate information. Traditional search engines often fall short in meeting these needs. Despite the growing reliance on AI for medical inquiries, the accuracy and quality of AI-generated remain understudied. This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of two widely used AI models, ChatGPT-4o and DeepSeek-R1, in addressing urticaria-related queries.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>An e-Delphi procedure was employed to generate and refine a set of urticaria-related questions, as well as to develop an evaluation framework for AI-generated responses. ChatGPT-4o and DeepSeek-R1 were then prompted with the finalized questions, and their responses were recorded.

Non-dermatologists found DeepSeek's responses more concise (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and comprehensible (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Both models showed comparable integration of cutting-edge knowledge (<i>p</i> = 0.06), though DeepSeek exhibited greater output stability, as evidenced by lower standard deviations.

Various biologic treatments, targeting the inflammation, have demonstrated efficacy in reducing nasal polyp size and symptoms. However, their specific impact on granulocyte populations within polyps remains largely unclear. This study explores how different biological treatments modulate local nasal polyp inflammation by assessing changes in granulocyte presence and recruitment before and after treatment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Type 2-high CRSwNP patients received treatment with mepolizumab, benralizumab, omalizumab, or dupilumab. Immunohistochemistry and protein measurements were performed on their nasal polyp tissue.

All tested biologics reduced eosinophil-related proteins and genes in nasal tissue. However, our data suggest that benralizumab, mepolizumab and omalizumab could induce a concurrent upregulation of neutrophilic markers. In these patients, chemoattractant genes for neutrophils primarily originated from the epithelial cell cluster, whereas receptors for these biologics were expressed by plasma cells, dendritic cells, and mast cells.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Biological treatments effectively reduced eosinophilic inflammation in nasal polyps. However, most biologics could induce an eosinophil-to-neutrophil shift, indicating that solely targeting eosinophils may be insufficient as a treatment approach.
