Use of ChatGPT to Explore Gender and Geographic Disparities in Scientific Peer Review
Authors: Sebo Paul 
Published: June 2024

Background
In the realm of scientific research, peer review serves as a cornerstone for ensuring the quality and integrity of scholarly papers. Recent trends in promoting transparency and accountability has led some journals to publish peer-review reports alongside papers.

Objective
ChatGPT-4 (OpenAI) was used to quantitatively assess sentiment and politeness in peer-review reports from high-impact medical journals. The objective was to explore gender and geographical disparities to enhance inclusivity within the peer-review process.

Methods
All 9 general medical journals with an impact factor >2 that publish peer-review reports were identified. A total of 12 research papers per journal were randomly selected, all published in 2023. The names of the first and last authors along with the first author’s country of affiliation were collected, and the gender of both the first and last authors was determined. For each review, ChatGPT-4 was asked to evaluate the “sentiment score,” ranging from –100 (negative) to 0 (neutral) to +100 (positive), and the “politeness score,” ranging from –100 (rude) to 0 (neutral) to +100 (polite). The measurements were repeated 5 times and the minimum and maximum values were removed. The mean sentiment and politeness scores for each review were computed and then summarized using the median and interquartile range. Statistical analyses included Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Kruskal-Wallis rank tests, and negative binomial regressions.

Results
Analysis of 291 peer-review reports corresponding to 108 papers unveiled notable regional disparities. Papers from the Middle East, Latin America, or Africa exhibited lower sentiment and politeness scores compared to those from North America, Europe, or Pacific and Asia (sentiment scores: 27 vs 60 and 62 respectively; politeness scores: 43.5 vs 67 and 65 respectively, adjusted P=.02). No significant differences based on authors’ gender were observed (all P>.05).

Conclusions
Notable regional disparities were found, with papers from the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa demonstrating significantly lower scores, while no discernible differences were observed based on authors’ gender. The absence of gender-based differences suggests that gender biases may not manifest as prominently as other forms of bias within the context of peer review. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to address regional disparities in peer review and advocates for ongoing efforts to promote equity and inclusivity in scholarly communication.

Authors: Hospodarskyy I.Ya. , Hryshchuk L.A. , Boyko T.V. 
Published: June 2024

Background. In Ukraine, one of the most rapidly gro­wing problems of family medicine and gastroenterology is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the beginning of a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine contributed to this. Aim: to optimize the treatment of patients with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome after COVID-19 infection with the use of Bacillus probiotics in the comprehensive treatment. Materials and methods. A simple randomized clinical trial was conducted to study the effectiveness and safety of а 5-strain Bacillus probiotic in patients with post-COVID IBS. A total of 42 patients (26 women and 16 men) aged 26 to 48 years (average of (32 ± 11) years) were examined. The diagnosis of post-infectious IBS was established according to the Rome IV criteria. The severity was assessed using the IBS Symptom Severity Scale. All patients underwent a comprehensive laboratory and instrumental examination, which included general clinical and biochemical blood tests (liver tests, serological tests for infectious markers), stool tests for calprotectin, worm eggs, parasites, and abdominal ultrasonography. Results. In the dynamics of observation, a certain decrease was noted in the severity of clinical symptoms in both groups. But at the same time, after 2 weeks of treatment, there was a tendency to a faster decrease in the severity of symptoms such as abdominal pain, intestinal motility disorders, and flatulence in patients who received the probiotic, although this trend was significant only for flatulence (p < 0.05), but not for abdominal pain and intestinal motility (p > 0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, significantly better indicators regarding the severity of all studied symptoms were found in the group of patients receiving the probiotic (p < 0.05). This difference persisted even 1 month after the end of treatment. Characteristically, during the first two weeks of observation, the number of days per week during which patients did not need to take antispasmodics and/or regulators of intestinal motility significantly decreased in the second group (3.1 ± 0.4 vs 6.7 ± 0.9 in the comparison group, p < 0.05). This difference was even more pronounced after 4 weeks of treatment. It is extremely important that the patients who received the probiotic practically did not need to take symptomatic therapy to eliminate the manifestations of abdominal pain and intestinal motility disorders. The indicated changes and trends persisted one month after the end of treatment. Conclusions. The use of Bacillus probiotic has shown positive results in the treatment of patients with IBS after COVID-19 infection. Its administration contributed to a significantly faster disappearance of the symptoms of post-infectious IBS, such as abdominal pain, flatulence, normali­zed intestinal motility (p < 0.05 compared to the control group), and also dramatically reduced the need for symptomatic therapy (p < 0.05).

Tobacco Consumption and Respiratory Consequences
Authors: Iorga Ana Luiza , Slabu Andreea-Dumitrita , Mihălţan Florin Dumitru 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Tobacco is a substance used for recreational purposes that is frequently included as a risk factor with multiple implications in the pathophysiology of the main diseases with high mortality and morbidity. Smoking is a habit with increased prevalence at the population level and the burden given by it resides in the high latency time between the first exposure and the appearance of the first symptoms. This study aimed to quantify the effects of smoking and the impact of relatively short-term withdrawal on the main parameters that are measured in any pulmonology service.

Material and method. In the presented study, a group of 106 smokers was included, who applied their initiative to the STOP FUMAT program within the “Marius Nasta” Pneumology Institute Bucharest during 2022-2023.

Results. To study the impact of withdrawal in the relatively short term, the group that initially consisted entirely of smokers was divided after 6 months into group I - 41 smoking patients and group II - 54 weaned patients. A main characteristic of the group as a whole is represented by the main reason for quitting smoking represented by the ticking in the questionnaire by 93.4% of the concern about the impact on the health of smoking which correlates with the increased level of diagnosed respiratory pathologies (79.2% ) and comorbidities associated with smoking 28.3%. It was also demonstrated that although there was a slight tendency towards a reduction in FEV1 in patients from the smoking group at the 6-month assessment, it was still statistically significant among weaned patients.

Discussion. Tobacco use increases the risk of cardiovascular, respiratory, and neoplastic diseases, currently representing the main preventable risk factor for death.

Conclusion. Smoking remains a public health problem due to the multitude of long-term effects it has on health. The current study reinforces the consequences of tobacco consumption on patients and at the same time highlights the positive effects of withdrawal on the evolution of the case, which represents an additional argument for the repeated support and recommendation from the medical staff to go to STOP FUMAT centers.
The Impact on the Quality of Life of Patients with Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis – Brief Review
Authors: Butnaru Teodora , Mihălţan Florin Dumitru , Ancuţa Constantin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR TB) is a major threat worldwide, despite the fact that the EndTB strategy involves early diagnosis and prompt treatment of all people of all ages with any form of sensitive or drug-resistant tubrculosis. Both forms of tuberculosis imply high morbidity and mortality, but drug-resistant TB accentuates these aspects due to problems arising from the nature of long and difficult to tolerate treatment, which can often lead to abandonment. The impact of tuberculosis is not limited only to clinical indicators, but also to the quality of life, directly reduced by the disease and treatment (weight loss, asthenia, medication side effects, distant sequelae, comorbidities), but also indirectly through the nature of the disease (social inclusion, job loss).
For this short review, the PubMed database was used, using key words such as quality of life, drug- resistant tuberculosis, physical, emotional impairment, treatment side effects. Patients with treatment-resistant tuberculosis face limitations in all areas of quality of life due to tuberculosis, both at initiation of treatment and at its completion. The impact of tuberculosis affects all areas of quality of life, both physically, emotionally, professionally and financially, both at initiation of treatment and post-treatment. The particular aspect of psychological impairment of DR-TB patients requires additional attention from the medical professionals involved in treating these patients and implementing additional support measures to help patients. The quality of life of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis is an area that requires additional research, having an extremely important role in the success of antituberculosis treatment. Quality of life indicators could shape a more complete picture of TB’s impact on patients’ lives, both during and after treatment.
365 Days - Evolution and Rehabilitaton Strategy in a Uncemented Hip Replacement Prosthesis Case Study
Authors: Geambaşu Adina , Costache Raluca Maria , Constantin Ancuţa Alina 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis.
A total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty or THA) consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently one of the most common orthopaedical operations, though patient satisfaction short- and long-term varies widely.
In this paper we present the case of a 75-year-old woman, with classic uncemented hip prosthesis intervention, from the preoperative preparation stage to 1 year after the intervention and the recovery phases and their evolution. Due to a quality management of the intervention and good hygiene and nutrition, the lack of osteoporosis and the absence of paleopathology, the patient recovered in a fast and correct manner, returning to a good functionality and state of health. Also, the cooperation between the patient, family, therapist, doctor and psychologist had a decisive role in the success of both the intervention and the postoperative period with optimal results for the age and possibilities of the patient.
Perspectives in Smoking Related Interstitial Lung Diseases
Authors: Constantin Ancuţa , Catrangiu Maria-Beatrice , Iorga Ana-Luiza 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Interstitial lung disease is a generic term encompassing a wide range of unrelated conditions that have in common a tendency to cause shortness of breath and/or cough associated with bilateral abnormal opacity of various types on conventional chest X-rays or high-resolution computed tomography scans, symptoms including dyspnea, wheezing, cough, and/or sputum production. This study aimed to show that cigarette smoke is a powerful inducer of inflammation and the cause-effect relationship between cigarette smoking and interstitial diseases – respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD) and desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP). We bring to your attention the cases of two patients, heavy smokers with HRCT images suggestive for RB-ILD and DIP. The patients present to the on-call room with dry cough, exertional dyspnea and receive corticosteroid treatment with the recommendation to cease smoking. An approach would be to target high-risk populations, such as older adults with a history of smoking for early diagnosis of parenchymal lung diseases (e.g. ILD and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or lung cancer.
Wartanian glacial sediments: insights into deglaciation of Polish Lowlands and Highlands border for geotourism
Authors: Górska-Zabielska Maria , Wachecka-Kotkowska Lucyna 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This paper presents five sites located in the marginal zone of the Wartanian stadial within the Odranian Glaciation (MIS6a) on the border of the Central Polish Uplands and Lowlands, representing different glacial forms and geological structures: terminal moraine hill, undulating moraine hill, sedimentary margin of the ice sheet, kame hill, and outwash plain. This differentiation is also reflected in the petrographic composition of the gravels and the interesting surface microstructures of the Scandinavian erratic boulders. This small study area, with its high geodiversity, which we have identified and investigated, has considerable potential for sustainable development. Geotourism is a tool for this development in a peripheral tourist region, providing both economic benefits for the local population and conservation services for the geoecosystem.
Influence of seasonal change and anthropogenic activities on the avifauna composition in a seasonal wetland of India
Authors: Debnath Rupam , Pal Sandip 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Seasonal wetlands harbour a mosaic of habitats that support a variety of niches for bird species. When seasonal change and anthropogenic activities are coupled with the landscape, the species richness and species composition are presumably influenced by such factors. This study aimed to evaluate avifauna diversity, to investigate feeding guilds, and to determine the impact of seasonality and tourism pressure as anthropogenic disturbance on the avian community of a wetland. Comprehensive surveys were conducted to gather all necessary data, followed by the application of analytical methods to assess the hypotheses formulated in the current research. A total of 61 bird species belonging to 14 orders have been recorded during this year-round study, where Passeriformes was the most dominant order with 27 bird species. The species richness was highest in winter, and five feeding guilds were identified. This study revealed a significant role of seasonality, and tourism pressure on avian species richness of Bortir Bil. The outcomes of the present study could serve as an important baseline to adopt sustainable and bird-friendly management plan for this seasonal wetland.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this study, we detected and compared changes in the annual and daily captures of the Eurasian (Certhia familiaris) and Short-toed Treecreeper (C. brachydactyla) in the timing of their post-breeding movements, in the length of minimum stopover duration (MSD) in the area, and also in biometrics in western Hungary. The birds were captured and ringed, or recaptured from the end of July to the first weekend of November in all years from 2001 to 2023. The annual captures of both species indicated stable populations in this period, with milder February months having a positive effect on annual captures. There were similarities and differences in the movement strategies and habitat selection of the species. During the post-breeding season, the Eurasian Treecreeper was more strongly associated with the scrubland and forest edge than the Short-toed Treecreeper. There were two autumn capture waves in September and October for the Eurasian Treecreepers and just one in September for the Short-toed Treecreepers, which were primarily consisted of birds captured only once. There were no significant differences in wing length of the three capture intervals (July-August, September, October-November) in either species, which suggests that the dynamics of post-breeding movements cannot be explained on the bases of possible differences in the behavior of sexes, ages, or populations. The proportion of birds captured only once was about double of that of stopovers in both species each year. The average real length of stopover duration in the area for Eurasian Treecreepers was 94.25 days, and 84.31 days for Short-toed Treecreepers. The length of MSD in the area was not significantly associated with wing length and body mass in either species. Individuals of both species did not gain fat stores significantly during post-breeding season.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
This paper summarizes a two-year (2021 and 2022) survey which sought to determine the breeding population of White-backed Woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos) in Hungary. The survey was initiated by the Hungarian Woodpecker Group of MME/BirdLife Hungary and was the first to be conducted nationwide on this species. All hill ranges where the species was historically known to occur were visited. A total of 31 observers were involved, and 102 UTM squares in which White-backed Woodpeckers were known to breed, or potentially breed, were visited. The results suggest that the Hungarian breeding population of this endangered species ranges between 480 and 800 pairs.
