Can ChatGPT versions make its way in healthcare and research?- Ft. Dr. Raju Vaishya

21st century is the era of technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning. People around the globe are able to access any information at their fingertips. Medical information and healthcare have also gained an ample amount of importance in the tech world. Recently, OpenAI Inc. launched a new chatbot, called ChatGPT that interacts in a conversational way and its dialogue format makes it user-friendly and fast.

The current paper is yet to appear in Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews, aimed to explore the current position and the accuracy of currently available version of ChatGPT in relation to healthcare and medical research.

Raju Vaishya and team searched different databases and found 29 results in PubMed and 9 results in Scopus database., in English language. In addition, they (RV, AM) interacted with ChatGPT multiple times to review the accuracy of 20 responses to various medical questions.

The researchers found that using literature search and interactions with ChatGPT with medical questions, they infer that this version generates answers fast but narrates data from existing internet literature in a general manner. However, as emphasised by the company in the landing page of ChatGPT, they found errors in responses to medical questions, Further, narrated data were limited to September 2021. Positive features include admitting its limitations in medical field, and as designed, learning from previous answers.

Researchers concluded that the current version of ChatGPT may be useful in a limited manner as a narrative artificial intelligence chatbot for medical personnel, however, researchers are advised to fact check all statements provided.

In today’s video, we discuss about this research with Dr. (Prof) Raju Vaishya who is a renowned Orthopedics and joint replacement surgeon with 35 years experience. Dr. Vaishya is currently a Senior consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi.

Zasocitinib therapy highly efficacious for treatment of severe plaque psoriasis: JAMA

Image
A recent study published in the Journal of American Medical Association revealed that Zasocitinib could be a breakthrough in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches, affects millions throughout the globe. While several treatments exist, the demand for new, effective, and well-tolerated oral therapies remains high. Zasocitinib, a highly selective allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor, emerges as a promising candidate to meet this need. This trial was conducted between August 2021 and September 2022 across 55 centers in the US and Canada and found that Zasocitinib not only significantly improved skin clearance in patients but also expressed a favorable safety and tolerability profile. The study enrolled a total of 287 participants aged between 18 and 70 years, each with a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of 12 or greater, a Physician’s Global Assessment score of 3...

New wearable laser device may monitor brain blood flow to gauge stroke risk, reports research

Image
Researchers have developed a laser-based device that can be placed on the head to non-invasively monitor changes in brain blood flow and volume. The new device could one day help save lives by offering a direct and simple way to assess stroke risk based on physiological markers rather than indirect markers like lifestyle factors. Strokes occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced, causing debilitating brain cell damage. With about 15 million people worldwide affected by strokes each year, it is the second leading cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability. “The lack of a cost-effective and scalable stroke risk assessment system complicates long-term stroke prevention because a physician can’t tell whether a patient’s risk is stable or worsening,” said research team member Simon Mahler, a postdoctoral scholar in Changhuei Yang’s laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. “This new method could help catch early signs of increased stroke risk, w...
