Beyond the Hype—The Actual Role and Risks of AI in Today’s Medical Practice: Comparative-Approach Study

Background: The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted various sectors, with health care witnessing some of its most groundbreaking contributions. Contemporary models, such as ChatGPT-4 and Microsoft Bing, have showcased capabilities beyond just generating text, aiding in complex tasks like literature searches and refining web-based queries. Objective: This study explores a compelling query: can AI author an academic paper independently? Our assessment focuses on four core dimensions: relevance (to ensure that AI’s response directly addresses the prompt), accuracy (to ascertain that AI’s information is both factually correct and current), clarity (to examine AI’s ability to present coherent and logical ideas), and tone and style (to evaluate whether AI can align with the formality expected in academic writings). Additionally, we will consider the ethical implications and practicality of integrating AI into academic writing. Methods: To assess the capabilities of ChatGPT-4 and Microsoft Bing in the context of academic paper assistance in general practice, we used a systematic approach. ChatGPT-4, an advanced AI language model by Open AI, excels in generating human-like text and adapting responses based on user interactions, though it has a knowledge cut-off in September 2021. Microsoft Bing's AI chatbot facilitates user navigation on the Bing search engine, offering tailored search Results: In terms of relevance, ChatGPT-4 delved deeply into AI’s health care role, citing academic sources and discussing diverse applications and concerns, while Microsoft Bing provided a concise, less detailed overview. In terms of accuracy, ChatGPT-4 correctly cited 72% (23/32) of its peer-reviewed articles but included some nonexistent references. Microsoft Bing’s accuracy stood at 46% (6/13), supplemented by relevant non–peer-reviewed articles. In terms of clarity, both models conveyed clear, coherent text. ChatGPT-4 was particularly adept at detailing technical concepts, while Microsoft Bing was more general. In terms of tone, both models maintained an academic tone, but ChatGPT-4 exhibited superior depth and breadth in content delivery. Conclusions: Comparing ChatGPT-4 and Microsoft Bing for academic assistance revealed strengths and limitations. ChatGPT-4 excels in depth and relevance but falters in citation accuracy. Microsoft Bing is concise but lacks robust detail. Though both models have potential, neither can independently handle comprehensive academic tasks. As AI evolves, combining ChatGPT-4’s depth with Microsoft Bing’s up-to-date referencing could optimize academic support. Researchers should critically assess AI outputs to maintain academic credibility.

Role of exercise-induced neutrophils in breast

[Purpose] This review aimed to comprehensively explore and elucidate multifaceted neutrophils in breast cancer, particularly in the context of physical activity. Neutrophils play a critical role in the tumor microenvironment and systemic immune response, despite their short half-life and terminal differentiation. Through a thorough review of research related to changes in immunity in breast cancer during exercise, this review aims to provide comprehensive insights into immuno - logical changes, especially focusing on neutrophils. Recognizing that much of the existing research has predominantly focused on T cells and nature killer (NK) cells, our review seeks to shift the spotlight toward understanding how exercise affects neutrophils, a less-explored but critical immune response component in breast cancer. [Methods] This study involved an extensive review of the literature (from 2000 to 2023) using the PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The keywords chosen for the searches were “immune cells and exercise,” “exercise and breast cancer,” “tumor microenvironment and neutrophils,” and “neutrophils and exercise and breast cancers. ” [Results] Neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment can exhibit distinct phenotypes and functions. These differences have yielded conflicting results regarding tumor progression. Exercise plays a positive role in breast cancer and alters the immune system. Physical activity can quantitatively and functionally regulate neutrophils under various conditions such as metabolic disruption or senescence. [Conclusion] This short communication outlines exercise-induced neutrophil diversification and its role in breast cancer progression, both within and systemically within the tumor microenvironment. Exercise may pro - vide benefits through the potential neutrophil involve - ment in breast cancer.
Retinal Neurons Curb In ﬂ ammation and Enhance Revascularization in Ischemic Retinopathies via Proteinase-Activated Receptor-2

Ischemic retinopathies are characterized by sequential vaso-obliteration followed by abnormal intra-vitreal neovascularization predisposing patients to retinal detachment and blindness. Ischemic reti-nopathies are associated with robust in ﬂ ammation that leads to generation of IL-1 b , which causes vascular degeneration and impairs retinal revascularization in part through the liberation of repulsive guidance cue semaphorin 3A (Sema3A). However, retinal revascularization begins as in ﬂ ammation culminates in ischemic retinopathies. Because in ﬂ ammation leads to activation of proteases involved in the formation of vasculature, we hypothesized that proteinase-activated receptor (Par)-2 (of ﬁ cial name F2rl1) may modulate deleterious effects of IL-1 b . Par2, detected mostly in retinal ganglion cells, was up-regulated in oxygen-induced retinopathy. Surprisingly, oxygen-induced retinopathy e induced vaso-obliteration and neovascularization were unaltered in Par2 knockout mice, suggesting compensatory mechanisms. We therefore conditionally knocked down retinal Par2 with shRNA-Par2 e encoded lenti-virus. Par2 knockdown interfered with normal revascularization, resulting in pronounced intravitreal neovascularization; conversely, the Par2 agonist peptide (SLIGRL) accelerated normal revascularization. In vitro and in vivo exploration of mechanisms revealed that IL-1 b induced Par2 expression, which in turn down-regulated sequentially IL-1 receptor type I and Sema3A expression through Erk/Jnk-dependent processes. Collectively, our ﬁ ndings unveil an important mechanism by which IL-1 b regulates its own endothelial cytotoxic actions by augmenting neuronal Par2 expression to repress sequentially IL-1 receptor type I and Sema3A expression. Timely activation of Par2 may be a promising therapeutic avenue in ischemic retinopathies. (Am J Pathol 2015, 185: 581 e 595; http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1016/j.ajpath.2014.10.020)
Eﬀects Of Audio Feedback In An Online Assessment In Students’ Academic Motivation

Many research has revealed that feedback has a big impact on students’ learning and is the most eﬀective single moderator of achievement enhancement. Hence, this study aimed to determine the eﬀects of giving audio feedback in an online assessment on students’ academic motivation. The participants in this study are 49 senior high school students who have the same online assessments. A mixed-methods research design was utilized in this study. The results showed that there was no signiﬁcant diﬀerence in academic motivation between the students before and after applying the audio feedback in their online assessments and were indicative of high academic motivation throughout the experiment. However, the students’ experiences revealed the following factors: (1) Student Emotional Engagement; (2) Comprehensive Understanding through Audio Feedback; (3) Students’ Receptiveness in Audio Feedback; (4) Utilization of Feedback in Improving Students’ Work; and (5) Improve Students’ Motivation. Overall, even though the audio feedback doesn’t greatly aﬀect the students’ academic motivation, it still creates a better experience in providing feedback to the students as it is used for their improvement on their online assessment. This study has broad implications in the online learning environment and creates new paths that teachers may take in giving feedback in their online assessment to make it personalized and comprehensible for the improvement of students’ work
An Evaluation of Bush Meat Harvest in the Kimbi-Fungom National Park, North West Region, Cameroon

: Bush meat flourish local and international markets in and around the Kimbi Fungom National Park with increasing national and international demands. Despite this, very little or nothing is done to eradicate this bush meat syndrome. This project is designed to evaluate bush meat harvest and method used in and around the park. To achieve this, the study employed the use of questionnaires, interviews, field observation and focus group discussion to collect the data from February, 2021 to June, 2021. Competent field assistants and community guides were purposefully selected and trained on the collection of socio-economic data pertaining to bushmeat harvest. This was done during the sensitization meetings in 10 communities held in February 2021. A questionnaire and interview guide was designed. The questionnaire was designed in two parts; part one captured bushmeat markets, routes and supply chain while part two captured the quantity of bushmeat harvested in the area per season. A total of 200 questionnaires were administered in the 10 communities. We selected one hunter from each village to lead the research team based on their popularity and position held in the hunting circle. Results revealed that a total of 1837 animals were harvested during the study period. From the total number, 52.15% were harvested in the rainy season while 47.85% were harvested in the dry season. The highest harvested species was the cane rate (417), porcupine (343) and pangolins (292). Gunshots and snare wires were identified as the main method employed by hunters in the harvest of the bush meat in the park. It was recommended among other things that in as much as bush meat harvest carried out in the park, government and conservation initiatives should increase the security of threatened, endangered and critically endangered species
Extending and Automating Maturity Models for More Value Domain Model Driven Generic Support for Maturity Models

Maturity Models are widely used to quickly assess the status of a capability within organisations and to allow comparison across organisations and over time. The use of maturity models may be discouraged by friction of collecting the information, calculating ratings and managing the information over time. Value delivered is limited if only a rating results. Much higher value can be achieved if the models are extended to provide recommended actions and further still if such actions can be filtered by relative effort and sequenced to respect dependencies or resource constraints. Automation can remove friction and encourage use. This paper documents the creation of a generic meta model (domain model) for maturity models extended to support recommendations and their filtering and prioritisation. The meta model use is validated in a case showing rapid automation in a SaaS Enterprise Modeling platform. The paper concludes with considering the Return on Modelling Effort of this approach.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly efficacious HIV prevention medication, yet Black and Hispanic/Latino sexual minority men’s and gender diverse individuals’ (SMMGD) PrEP use is limited due to factors such as PrEP barriers and anticipated PrEP stigma. Although most individuals who use PrEP take it as a daily regimen, there is evidence that many SMMGD are interested in using “on-demand” (also known as event-driven or intermittent or 2-1-1) PrEP. We used stepwise multinomial logistic regression to explore factors associated with on-demand, daily, and no PrEP use among 820 Black and Hispanic/Latino SMMGD ages 18–29 in the United States. We found that greater reported PrEP barriers were associated with higher odds of using PrEP on-demand or not using PrEP compared to daily PrEP use. More past 3-month sex partners and greater comfort telling others about PrEP use were associated with lower odds of on-demand compared to daily PrEP use. In addition, compared to daily PrEP use, more past 3-month sex partners, greater comfort telling others about PrEP use, and higher anticipated PrEP stigma were associated with lower odds of no current PrEP use compared to daily PrEP use. Findings may inform clinical practices and interventions to promote PrEP uptake and adherence.
associa-Short communication: Effect of casein haplotype on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant capacities of milk casein from Italian Holstein cows before and following in vitro digestion with gastrointestinal enzymes

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of casein haplotype (α S1 , β, and κ) on antioxidative and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory capacities of milk casein from Italian Holstein cows before and following in vitro digestion with gastrointestinal enzymes. The antioxidant capacity was measured us-ing 2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assays, whereas ACE inhibition was determined by ACE-inhibitory assay. The ACE-inhibitory and antioxidant capacities of milk casein increased during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Casein haplotype significantly influenced the antioxidative and ACE-inhibitory capacities of digested casein. In particular, BB-A 2 A 1 -AA casein and BB-A 1 A 1 - AA casein showed the highest ACE-inhibitory capacity, BB-A 2 A 2 -AA casein showed the highest antioxidant capacity, whereas BB-A 2 A 2 -BB casein showed the lowest biological capacity. To date, few studies have been done on the effect of casein haplotype on biological capacity of milk casein, thus the present study sets the basis for a new knowledge that could lead to the production of milk with better nutraceutical properties.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation for Kinesthetic Feedback in AR/VR: A Systematic Literature Review

This paper presents a thorough review of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) in the context of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), specifically focusing on its application in providing kinesthetic feedback. Our systematic review of 17 studies reveals the growing interest and potential of EMS in this domain, as evidenced by the growing body of literature and citations. The key elements presented in our review encompass a catalog of the applications developed to date, the specifics of the stimulation parameters used, the participant demographics of the studies, and the types of measures used in these research efforts. We discovered that EMS offers a versatile range of applications in AR/VR, from simulating physical interactions like touching virtual walls or objects to replicating the sensation of weight and impact. Notably, EMS has shown effectiveness in areas such as object handling and musical rhythm learning, indicating its broader potential beyond conventional haptic feedback mechanisms. However, our review also highlights major challenges in the research, such as inconsistent reporting of EMS parameters and a lack of diversity in study participants. These issues underscore the need for improved reporting standards and more inclusive research approaches to ensure wider applicability and reproducibility of results.

Mechanisms of Thermal Volume Change in Unsaturated Silt

There has been an increased interest in geotechnical engineering applications that require an understanding of the impact of temperature on the thermo-hydro-mechanical response of soils for their design and sustainable long-term operation. Examples include the implementation of ground source heat exchangers (GSHEs) into deep foundations to form energy piles, high-level nuclear waste repositories, burial of high-voltage cables, and the utilization of waste heat for the improvement of unsaturated backfill soils in earthen embankments or mechanically stabilized earth walls. An issue of particular interest in these applications is the drained volumetric response of unsaturated soil due to changes in temperature. The underlying mechanisms responsible for the thermal volume change of unsaturated soil are still not well understood, which is the main motivation for this study. Volume changes may have an adverse effect on the long-term settlement response of thermally-active geotechnical systems. A new high pressure thermal isotropic cell was developed in this study to evaluate the thermal volume change mechanisms in unsaturated silt, including the impact of the initial degree of saturation and secondary compression behavior on the thermal contractile volume change of compacted Bonny silt. The thermal isotropic cell includes suction control using the axis translation technique, saturation control/monitoring using a pore water pressure flow pump, cell pressure control using a high pressure flow pump, and a stainless steel cell to permit application of isotropic net mean stresses up to 10 MPa. The cell fluid temperature is regulated by circulating heated water through a heating coil within the cell. Further, a circulating fan in the cell is used to homogenize the temperature within the cell fluid. Three non-contact proximity probes are used to monitor soil deformation, avoiding the need to consider complex thermo-mechanical cell deformations. Four thermal volume change tests were performed on compacted specimens of Bonny silt at different initial degrees of saturation. The testing procedure involved drying via the application of matric
Parameter Design of DCMG System Under Large Signal Stability and Static Voltage Constraints

DC microgrid (DCMG) is characterized by a high degree of power electronics, low system inertia, and CPL (CPL) with a negative damping feature. Its system-level transient stability is of great concern. The stability of a DCMG system is affected by many factors, such as component parameters, load types, converter control methods, etc. To analyze the system-level stability of the DCMG, the constraints of large signal stability of the DCMG based on droop control are derived by using the Lyapunov direct method. Based on this conclusion, the influence of system parameters on large signal stability and voltage deviation of the DCMG is revealed, and the optional range of filter element parameters and droop coefficient under the stability and voltage constraints is proposed. The parameter selection work involves two evaluation indicators, system stability, and voltage deviation. This article uses the variable weight coefficient method to normalize these two indicators into a comprehensive evaluation index, and the appropriate droop coefficient is selected based on the optimal comprehensive evaluation index. The work of this article has reference values for the parameter design of the DCMG system components and the selection of the droop coefficient.
Psychophysiological Effects of Slow-Paced Breathing on Adolescent Swimmers’ Subjective Performance, Recovery States, and Control Perception

This study examined the effect of a Slow-Paced Breath (i.e., 6 breaths per minute) without Biofeedback (SPB-NoHRVB) protocol on semi-elite adolescent swimmers’ psychological and physiological states during a seven-week ecological training period. A linear mixed-effects multilevel regression analysis approach was used with 13 adolescent national-level swimmers. Athletes were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 7) and a control group (n = 6). Seven waves of assessments were completed weekly during a seven-week training preparation in ecological conditions. During the protocol, swimmers completed subjective quantitative measures (RESTQ-36-R-Sport; cognitive perceived stress and control states about the training process, training subjective performance, and subjective internal training load) and physiological heart rate (HR) (HR of exercise, absolute and normalized HR recovery during the first 60 s of recovery; HRR60 and nHRR60) and heart rate variability (HRV) (MeanRR, RMSSD, LFnu and HFnu, LF/HF ration) tests (through a submaximal heart rate (5′-5′ test) once a week. Results revealed that the SPB-NoHRVB protocol significantly predicts biopsychosocial recovery states, cognitive perception of control, and training subjective performance (i.e., a significant effect of the SPB-NoHRVB protocol with the dependent variables simple time trajectories). However, no significant effects were found for biopsychosocial stress scales, cognitively perceived stress, HR, or HRV markers. Our results suggest that SPB-NoHRVB induces simple evolutions over time for crucial variables in athletes’ adaptation to the training process (i.e., cognitive appraisals and biopsychosocial states). In contrast, it highlights that SPB-NoHRVB does not induce better stress states. This specific effect on the resource component is an exciting result that will be discussed in the manuscript.
Infrastructure-Wide and Intent-Based Networking Dataset for 5G-and-beyond AI-Driven Autonomous Networks

In the era of Autonomous Networks (ANs), artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role for their development in cellular networks, especially in 5G-and-beyond networks. The availability of high-quality networking datasets is one of the essential aspects for creating data-driven algorithms in network management and optimisation tasks. These datasets serve as the foundation for empowering AI algorithms to make informed decisions and optimise network resources efficiently. In this research work, we propose the IW-IB-5GNET networking dataset: an infrastructure-wide and intent-based dataset that is intended to be of use in research and development of network management and optimisation solutions in 5G-and-beyond networks. It is infrastructure wide due to the fact that the dataset includes information from all layers of the 5G network. It is also intent based as it is initiated based on predefined user intents. The proposed dataset has been generated in an emulated 5G network, with a wide deployment of network sensors for its creation. The IW-IB-5GNET dataset is promising to facilitate the development of autonomous and intelligent network management solutions that enhance network performance and optimisation.
