Potential and Limitations of ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 as a Source of COVID-19 Information: Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Generative and Authoritative Information
Authors: Wang Guoyong , Gao Kai , Liu Qianyang , Wu Yuxin , Zhang Kaijun , Zhou Wei , Guo Chunbao 
Published: November 2023

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has necessitated reliable and authoritative information for public guidance. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been a primary source of such information, disseminating it through a question and answer format on its official website. Concurrently, ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0, a deep learning-based natural language generation system, has shown potential in generating diverse text types based on user input.

Objective
This study evaluates the accuracy of COVID-19 information generated by ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0, assessing its potential as a supplementary public information source during the pandemic.

Methods
We extracted 487 COVID-19–related questions from the WHO’s official website and used ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 to generate corresponding answers. These generated answers were then compared against the official WHO responses for evaluation. Two clinical experts scored the generated answers on a scale of 0-5 across 4 dimensions—accuracy, comprehensiveness, relevance, and clarity—with higher scores indicating better performance in each dimension. The WHO responses served as the reference for this assessment. Additionally, we used the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model to generate similarity scores (0-1) between the generated and official answers, providing a dual validation mechanism.

Results
The mean (SD) scores for ChatGPT 3.5–generated answers were 3.47 (0.725) for accuracy, 3.89 (0.719) for comprehensiveness, 4.09 (0.787) for relevance, and 3.49 (0.809) for clarity. For ChatGPT 4.0, the mean (SD) scores were 4.15 (0.780), 4.47 (0.641), 4.56 (0.600), and 4.09 (0.698), respectively. All differences were statistically significant (P<.001), with ChatGPT 4.0 outperforming ChatGPT 3.5. The BERT model verification showed mean (SD) similarity scores of 0.83 (0.07) for ChatGPT 3.5 and 0.85 (0.07) for ChatGPT 4.0 compared with the official WHO answers.

Conclusions
ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 can generate accurate and relevant COVID-19 information to a certain extent. However, compared with official WHO responses, gaps and deficiencies exist. Thus, users of ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 should also reference other reliable information sources to mitigate potential misinformation risks. Notably, ChatGPT 4.0 outperformed ChatGPT 3.5 across all evaluated dimensions, a finding corroborated by BERT model validation.
Evaluating the Impact of a Cream Containing Horse Placental Extract on Eye Corner Wrinkles in Healthy Women: Single-Blind Comparative Study
Authors: Watanabe Tsuyuko , Tahara Kentarou , Hirano Eiichi 
Published: November 2023

Background
Placental extract has been mostly used in skin care for cosmetic purposes. However, the use of various placental extracts has been limited due to the lack of established and effective application methods.

Objective
In this study, we investigated the antiwrinkle effect of a cream formulation—LNC wrinkle eye cream (LNC-EC)—containing horse placental extract as the main ingredient.

Methods
A total of 24 healthy women, aged 37-54 years, with wrinkle grades 1-3, were treated with LNC-EC for 2 weeks. The cream was applied on one-half of the participants’ faces, and the results were compared with the untreated half of the face.

Results
Visual inspection, using the wrinkle grade standard, showed that the area treated with LNC-EC had a significantly lower wrinkle grade than the untreated area when comparing before and after the application of LNC-EC. In addition, replica analysis showed a significant reduction in both the maximum wrinkle width and the number of wrinkles in the LNC-EC–treated area in comparison to the untreated area before and after the application. These results suggest that LNC-EC has an antiwrinkle effect on the corners of the eyes based on parameters like the maximum wrinkle width and the number of wrinkles.

Conclusions
LNC-EC, with horse placental extract as its main ingredient, was shown to be effective in improving wrinkles at the eye corners, presumably due to a reduction in the maximum wrinkle width and the number of wrinkles. Interpretation of the results is limited because this study was conducted only in the intervention group. A randomized controlled trial with a placebo control group is necessary to verify the antiwrinkle effects of horse placental extract.
Assessing the accuracy of population estimation methods for vulture populations: a case study from the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Manigandan S. , Byju H. , Kannan P. 
Published: November 2023

Two resident and two local migratory vulture species are reported in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The early population estimates from the region are either scanty or crude. Vulture population estimation was performed using three different methods based on their breeding seasons and regional movements between 2019 and 2021. Road transect counts, nest counts, and carcass monitoring counts were used for population assessments. The road transect survey and nest site counting during the breeding season were conducted in all three years, while carcass monitoring was done in 2019 – 2020. For population estimation, three nest site colony counts were conducted for the resident Gyps bengalensis and for Gyps indicus. The other two methods, carcass monitoring and the road transect survey, were used for all four focal vulture species of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve – Gyps bengalensis, Gyps indicus, Neophron percnopterus and Sarcogyps calvus. Significant variation in vulture population count was observed with different assessment methods.
Association between Spirodela polyrrhiza and blue green algae in aquatic habitats and in vitro conditions in relation to metabolite concentrations under monoculture and co-culture
Authors: Gupta Santanu , Sil Sudipta Kumar 
Published: November 2023

Spirodela polyrrhiza samples were collected from various locations within the geographical periphery of Malda district in West Bengal, India. Samples collected from all sites were associated with algal colonies comprised of diatoms and blue green algae. Such association of different algal groups and greater duckweed in their natural habitat occurred in the lower epidermis of the fronds. Among the members of Cyanophyceae, Oscillatoria sancta was found to be abundantly associated with the fronds under in vivo conditions. To mimic the in vivo association, axenic monocultures of both S. polyrrhiza and O. sancta were maintained separately or by co-cultivation. Association with O. sancta under in vitro growth conditions prolonged the stationary growth phase of greater duckweed significantly. A growth-promoting association between the two species was shown by increased concentration of some metabolites of S. polyrrhiza. Correlation between growth of the two species were confirmed.
Diversity and the Evaluation of Talent in the Accounting Profession: The Enigma of Merit
Authors: Anderson-Gough Fiona , Edgley Carla , Robson Keith , Sharma Nina 
Published: November 2023

SYNOPSIS
While accounting firms are facing recruitment and retention problems, regulatory bodies are calling for efforts to improve diversity to be more effective, especially at senior levels. In this paper, we discuss “merit” and assumptions about “meritocracy” in processes of performance evaluation and career progression. Based on interviews in medium and large professional services firms in the United Kingdom, we explore how the language/practices of merit can inhibit moves to improving diversity. Merit has two aspects: “technical” notions of core competencies associated with merit and cultural notions of social fit, which have the effect of favoring the progression of the elite groups embedded within firms. The latter creates a loop in understanding merit, enacted within firm culture over time, that is difficult to disrupt. As such, efforts to improve diversity are unlikely to bring about change without considering how organizational beliefs about merit have unintended consequences.

OBJECTIVE
Prediabetes in young people is an emerging epidemic that disproportionately impacts Hispanic populations. We aimed to develop a metabolite-based prediction model for prediabetes in young people with overweight/obesity at risk for type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In independent, prospective cohorts of Hispanic youth (discovery; n = 143 without baseline prediabetes) and predominately Hispanic young adults (validation; n = 56 without baseline prediabetes), we assessed prediabetes via 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests. Baseline metabolite levels were measured in plasma from a 2-h postglucose challenge. In the discovery cohort, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression with a stability selection procedure was used to identify robust predictive metabolites for prediabetes. Predictive performance was evaluated in the discovery and validation cohorts using logistic regression.

RESULTS
Two metabolites (allylphenol sulfate and caprylic acid) were found to predict prediabetes beyond known risk factors, including sex, BMI, age, ethnicity, fasting/2-h glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. In the discovery cohort, the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) of the model with metabolites and known risk factors was 0.80 (95% CI 0.72–0.87), which was higher than the risk factor-only model (AUC 0.63 [0.53–0.73]; P = 0.001). When the predictive models developed in the discovery cohort were applied to the replication cohort, the model with metabolites and risk factors predicted prediabetes more accurately (AUC 0.70 [95% CI 40.55–0.86]) than the same model without metabolites (AUC 0.62 [0.46–0.79]).

CONCLUSIONS
Metabolite profiles may help improve prediabetes prediction compared with traditional risk factors. Findings suggest that medium-chain fatty acids and phytochemicals are early indicators of prediabetes in high-risk youth.

Could the National Academy of Medicine’s National Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being work as a framework to improve the well-being of our US clinical veterinary healthcare teams?
Authors: Tomasi Suzanne , Peterson Makenzie , Hale Christa 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The authors propose using the National Academy of Medicine’s (NAM) National Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being as a framework on which the veterinary profession can re-envision patients and clients being cared for by a veterinary workforce that is thriving, where professionals operate in an environment that fosters their occupational well-being and longevity, strives to improve animal and population health, expands and enhances the care experience, and advances animal health equity. Adapting the NAM’s National Plan is intended to inspire collective action to improve the well-being of all veterinary professionals and focuses on changes needed across the profession at the organizational and systemic levels. The Plan focuses on 7 priority areas, many of which would require needed changes to the training and practice business models with input from all interested parties—including clients and the diverse communities our professionals serve. This collective approach and process would inevitably be complex; however, the authors believe that the veterinary profession as a community is ready for the challenge to advance the profession.

Published: November 2023

‘Tongkol’ fishes are species in the family Scombridae. There are many types of ‘tongkol’ fishes, namely longtail tuna, eastern little tuna, frigate tuna and bullet tuna. Morphologically, ‘tongkol’ species are similar to one another. This can result in errors in recording the production of ‘tongkol’ species. The purpose of this study was to identify ‘tongkol’ species collected from Kedonganan Market, Badung, Bali using the COI (Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I) gene. Two species of ‘tongkol’ fish were purchased from Kedonganan Market, Badung, Bali. DNA isolation was carried out from fish fins using chelex, followed by amplification of the COI gene segment. The PCR products were then electrophoresed and sequenced. DNA sequences were matched to the database using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) found in NCBI. Extraction yielded DNA with a concentration of 5.91 ng/ml with a ratio of A260/A280 = 1.3 for sample 1, while for sample 2 the concentration of DNA was 6.27 ng/ml with a ratio of A260/A280 = 1.33. The resulting PCR product is about 700bp in size. The results of the COI gene sequences had a gene size length of 682 bp for both fish species. BLAST analysis yielded a percent identity of 99.84-100% with eastern little tuna (Euthynnus affinis) and bullet tuna (Auxis rochei).

Published: November 2023

Objective: To evaluate changes in water use during the covid-19 pandemic in the municipality of Aracaju, SE.

Theoretical reference: This study was conducted based on theoretical foundations, highlighting how the new coronavirus pandemic affected people's lives and the importance of using water in combating the pandemic and maintaining water supply services for the population of Aracaju water, especially for people who are in a vulnerable state.

Method: A methodology explored the hypothetical-deductive with a qualitative-quantitative approach. To meet the proposed objectives, data was collected from the supply company DESO, using macro meters, for an analysis of the volumes distributed and consumed, during the covid-19 pandemic.

Results and conclusion: Among the neighborhoods surveyed, José Conrado de Araújo was the one with the highest volume of water distributed. The 13 de Julho neighborhood had the largest volume micromeasured, that is, consumed. A questionnaire was administered on the understanding of water use and sustainable practices during the pandemic, and it was found that those interviewed knew the importance of its reuse, although in practice they did not do so.

Implications of the research: In the face of pandemic situations, with the imposition of social isolation and protective measures linked to the use of water, the interruption of daily activities in businesses, schools and services considered non-essential, the confinement of people in their homes and encouraging the use of water for hand hygiene led to a notable increase in residential water consumption in the metropolis of Aracaju compared to 2018 and 2019.

Originality/value: The study has environmental, social, economic and scientific value with proven information and the originality of the expositions based on the understanding of aspects related to water use is important to add relevant information on ensuring a water supply system continuously and sustainably, in the face of a pandemic.

Authors: García Castaño Juan Diego , Gómez Palacios Mario Julián , Rosales Mora Juan Pablo , Contreras Adolfo 
Published: November 2023

En este estudio se identificó por cultivo microorganismos presentes en 16 casos de pericoronitis aguda (dolor y trismo) de tercer molar mandibular en 16 pacientes entre los 18 y 28 años de edad, que asistieron a las Clínicas Integrales del Adulto de la Escuela de Odontología de la Universidad del Valle. Las muestras microbiológicas fueron recolectadas por inserción de puntas de papel estériles en el capuchón pericoronario por 30 segundos. Los conos de papel fueron transferidos a un frasco con VMGA III (medio de transporte) y las muestras microbiológicas fueron procesadas en el laboratorio de microbiología oral de la Universidad del Valle como máximo en las 24 horas siguientes a la toma de la muestra y cultivadas en medios selectivos y no selectivos en micro-aerofilia y anaerobiosis. Se pudieron identificar por pruebas bioquímicas y características morfológicas de las colonias 12 especies bacterianas periodontopáticas, especies de bacilos entéricos gram negativos y levaduras. Los microorganismos de mayor importancia encontrados en los capuchones pericoronarios fueronPrevotella intermedia/ingrescens (50%), Fusobacterium sp (50%), Porphyromonas gingivalis(43.8%), y Bacilos entéricos Gram negativos (25%). Solo en un caso (6.3%), se detecto la presencia de A . Actinomycetemcomitans. Este estudio reveló la presencia de bacterias periodontopatógenas de importancia en las infecciones pericoronarias. Un tratamiento combinado de remoción mecánica del capuchón pericoronario con limpieza profesional y terapia antibiótica (metrodinazol o ciprofloxacina 500 mg 2 veces por día por 5 días) debería implantarse para reducir las complicaciones de las pericoronitis mandibulares agudas.
