Data were collected from two public and five private medical colleges. Universal sampling was then performed. Of 4716 medical students, 3366 participated in the study, with a response rate of 71.4%. This study was conducted between June and December 2023. Data were collected using the structured social media addiction scale (SMAS) and academic procrastination scale (APS).Results: Male participants were (1775) 52.7%, and the rest (1591) 47.3% were female. Among the responders (1591) 61% resided in hostels. The mean academic achievement was 74.14%, ranging from 30% to 85%. Most medical students (63%) showed moderate and 34% showed high academic procrastination. Majority of the medical students (81%) were social media addicts and male reported higher scores. Social media addiction was highly correlated with academic procrastination (r=0.539), which was regressed and found that 29% (R2=0.289) of social media addiction contributed to academic procrastination. Medical students from the public sector, Android users, third-year students, male students, and hostel residents were more prone to social media addiction and academic procrastination.Conclusion: Social media addiction prevails among medical students and is highly correlated with academic procrastination. Hostel residents, males, and android users were more addicted to social media than their counterparts.","PeriodicalId":19958,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"41 3","pages":"837-842"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11911750/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143658040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 30 patients with POAG, of either gender, between the ages of 20-60 years were included. Patients with secondary glaucoma, having previous intraocular surgery, patients with history of trauma, patients with high myopia and macular disease were excluded. After taking systemic and ophthalmic history, examination of anterior and posterior segments was carried out including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT), gonioscopy, dilated fundus examination of optic nerve and retina, and 30-2° visual field (VF) analysis. OCT was carried out in each patient to measure RNFL thickness and MTMV.Results: Mean age in our study was 45.50 ± 8.20 years. Majority of these patients 22 (73.33%) were between 41-60 years of age. Among these 30 patients, 20 (66.67%) were male and 10 (33.33%) were females with a male to female ratio of 2:1.

In Phase-1, flawed MCQs were selected from the NBME guide and fed into ChatGPT. ChatGPT identified item flaws and suggested corrections. In Phase-2, ChatGPT was trained to detect flaws in MCQs with text data from the NBME item writing guide. In Phase-3, ChatGPT was again tested to detect flaws and correct MCQs. Data were analyzed using SPSS, Version 26 and presented using percentages and McNemar's test with exact conditional method.Results: ChatGPT could identify and correct flaws such as use of \"None of the above,\" \"Grammatical cues,\" \"absolute terms,\" and \"inconsistently presented numerical data.\" However, it struggled with flaws related to \"complicated stems,\" \"long or complex options,\" and \"vague frequency terms.\" After training, ChatGPT became better at identifying and correcting flaws related to complicated stems and absolute terms. It also struggled with recognizing \"nonparallel options,\" \"convergence,\" and \"word repetition,\" both before and after training. ChatGPT's performance deteriorated during peak hours.

Patients less than 15 years of age and those AKI events that happened less than three months post renal transplant were excluded. Renal allograft and patient survival were recorded at discharge and one-year post AKI. Recovery of renal functions was assessed at three-month.Results: AKI requiring dialysis therapy was identified in 154 (5.1%) patients. At discharge, 115 (74.7%) were alive and 71 (61.7%) of them were dialysis free. At three-month, out of 71 dialysis free patients, 11 (15.5%) had complete recovery, 54 (76%) had partial recovery and six (8.5%) required dialysis again. At one-year, 98 (63.6%) patients were alive and 42 (42.9%) of them were dialysis free.

The study employed demographic summaries, descriptive statistics, regression analysis using Hayes' Process, and regression diagnostics for data analysis.

Most participants had 9-10 or more years of experience in their current position and held graduate degrees in the healthcare sector of Saudi Arabia. Regression analysis using Hayes' Process showed an insignificant negative impact of AI perception on workforce performance (β_1 = -0.0062, p = .315). However, technology readiness significantly moderated this effect, turning it into a positive and significant impact (β_3 = 0.2512, p = .0209).Conclusion: The study demonstrates that while AI perception alone has a negligible effect on workforce performance, its influence becomes significant when moderated by higher levels of technology readiness.
