The primary aim of our study was to undertake a detailed comparative analysis of the proficiencies and accuracies of six different LLMs (ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-3.5-turbo, ChatGPT-3.5, Copilot, PaLM, Bard, and Gemini) in responding to medical multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and in generating clinical scenarios and MCQs for upper limb topics in a Gross Anatomy course for medical students. Selected chatbots were tested, answering 50 USMLE-style MCQs. The questions were randomly selected from the Gross Anatomy course exam database for medical students and reviewed by three independent experts. The results of five successive attempts to answer each set of questions by the chatbots were evaluated in terms of accuracy, relevance, and comprehensiveness. The best result was provided by ChatGPT-4, which answered 60.5% ± 1.9% of questions accurately, then Copilot (42.0% ± 0.0%) and ChatGPT-3.5 (41.0% ± 5.3%), followed by ChatGPT-3.5-turbo (38.5% ± 5.7%). Google PaLM 2 (34.5% ± 4.4%) and Bard (33.5% ± 3.0%) gave the poorest results. The overall performance of GPT-4 was statistically superior (p < 0.05) to those of Copilot, GPT-3.5, GPT-Turbo, PaLM2, and Bard by 18.6%, 19.5%, 22%, 26%, and 27%, respectively. Each chatbot was then asked to generate a clinical scenario for each of the three randomly selected topics-anatomical snuffbox, supracondylar fracture of the humerus, and the cubital fossa-and three related anatomical MCQs with five options each, and to indicate the correct answers. Two independent experts analyzed and graded 216 records received (0-5 scale). The best results were recorded for ChatGPT-4, then for Gemini, ChatGPT-3.5, and ChatGPT-3.5-turbo, Copilot, followed by Google PaLM 2; Copilot had the lowest grade.

Twenty-one dental students participated in the study. Two topographic subjects were selected from the head and neck region. Theoretical and practical pre-tests for the first subject were presented. After the theoretical lecture, the students were randomly divided into dissection and prosection groups and a practical lesson was presented. A post-test was then applied. On another day, the same steps were repeated for the second topographic topic, reversing the practice groups. A feedback questionnaire was supplied to the students at the end of the study. The questions in the first part of the feedback survey were scored using a 5-point Likert scale, and the open-ended questions in the second part were scored by creating a six-step latent thematic analysis - main themes and sub-themes. Post-test scores were higher in both subjects (p < 0.001). While there was no difference between the pre- and post-test student scores on practical questions in the first subject, the post-test practical scores were higher in the second subject (p = 0.044). There was no significant difference between the dissection and prosection groups for either subject (p > 0.05). Most of the students (n = 18, 85.71%) stated that both methods were necessary for anatomy education. Some of them (n = 12, 57.41%) found prosection more useful and some (n = 5, 23.81%) found dissection more useful. In response to the answers to the open-ended questions, four main themes were created and the results related to these main themes were collected in sub-themes.

Thirty-two patients eventually needed surgery, which included percutaneous transluminal venoplasty, 1st rib removal, scalenectomy, pectoralis minor tenotomy, and/or vein patching.

In this review, we summarize the changes observed relative to the findings when the heart is congenitally malformed. Beginning at the stage when it is first possible to recognize the primary heart tube, we describe the looping of its ventricular component, which occurs in the 5th week. We proceed with discussion of the formation of the atrial and ventricular chambers in the 6th week. The phases are successive, albeit partially overlapping. Separation of the circulations at the venous pole is completed at stage 17, equivalent to almost 6 weeks of development. During stages representing the 7th week of development, we concentrate on the remodeling of the outflow tract. This involves initially septation, but then separation of the developing circulations. The changes involve incorporation of the proximal outflow tract into the ventricles, with formation of the arterial roots in its middle part, and addition of a distal non-myocardial component to produce the intrapericardial arterial trunks. We pay particular attention to the changes occurring during remodeling of the interventricular foramen.

AR technology is developing rapidly, supporting medical education by presenting models of human anatomy as digital objects overlaid in the real world via mobile or head-mounted display (HMD). The purpose of this systematic review is to provide a post-pandemic analysis of AR compared with other methods for teaching anatomy and to determine the effects of AR on learning outcomes (LOs). Original research published between January 2020 and April 2024 was obtained from the WOS, Scopus, MEDLINE(Ovid), EMBASE, and PubMed databases, following PRISMA 2020 protocols. Articles included for analysis compared AR with alternative pedagogical methods of teaching undergraduate human anatomy. Studies that described AR as \"mixed reality\" (MR) were included, while those describing \"virtual reality\" (VR) were not considered. Risk of bias and limitations in individual studies were assessed using the Quality Assessment with Diverse Studies (QuADS) tool. Data were synthesized using a convergent integrated approach with LOs tabulated for visual analysis. A total of 17 articles were eligible for review: nine studies comparing AR via HMD hardware, and eight comparing mobile AR. The LOs of 12 studies were overwhelmingly reported as non-significant. Insufficient data precluded an accurate meta-analysis of LOs, and critical analysis revealed a considerable risk of bias and lack of justified methodology. While AR holds potential for supporting undergraduate students in learning anatomy, definitive outcomes from the current literature are limited by the heterogeneous nature of the studies and inconsistent use of terminology. It is recommended that future research employs professional AR technologies and incorporates the perspectives of university educators to ensure reliable outcomes that can direct the further development of AR technology in medical education.</p>","PeriodicalId":50687,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Anatomy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142631911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Summary data from a genome-wide association study of 195,321 to 377,277 participants in the FinnGen consortium were used to predict depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and antidepressant use genetically. Data from 15,640 participants in the ENIGMA consortium were included to predict changes in 15 brain structures throughout the lifespan. The causal relationship between these depressive traits and the brain structure parameters was assessed by two-sample Mendelian randomization (including inverse-variance weighted). Sensitivity analyses were conducted for quality control. Depression slowed the decrease of cortical gray matter volume significantly throughout the lifespan (p = 0.001). Depression, anxiety, and mood disorders nominally decreased the rates of change of volume in the cerebellum gray matter, lateral ventricles, and cortical gray matter throughout the lifespan (p = 0.048, p = 0.021, p = 0.038, respectively). Antidepressants did not affect these rates of change significantly (p > 0.05). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the reliability of this study.
