ChatGPT to help dental students retain knowledge and enhance performance

2024-03-19
(Press-News.org) Alexandria, VA, USA – A study aiming to utilize current dental course materials, syllabi, and textbooks to investigate ChatGPT's potential benefits for dental students. was presented at the 102nd General Session of the IADR, which was held in conjunction with the 53rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research and the 48th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association for Dental Research, on March 13-16, 2024, in New Orleans, LA, USA.

The abstract, “ChatGPT to Help Dental Students Retain Knowledge and Enhance Performance” was presented during the “SCADA: Clinical Science/Public Health Research” Poster Session that took place on Thursday, March 14, 2024 at 11 a.m. Central Standard Time (UTC-6).

The study, by Ihunna Amugo of Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN, USA, conducted an extensive literature review, analyzing previous studies in different educational contexts to evaluate ChatGPT's efficacy in dental education. Questions aligned with dental course materials and objectives were formulated to ensure ChatGPT's relevance to the specific needs of dental students. The research encompassed various dental courses, including operative dentistry, nutrition, periodontics, oral radiology, and biology of disease.

By applying ChatGPT in these courses, its capabilities were harnessed to generate step-by-step instructions, summaries, and questions to supplement traditional learning methods. Data on students' interactions with ChatGPT were collected and analyzed, assessing usage patterns, engagement levels, and perceived benefits. 

The study's results indicated that ChatGPT has the potential to enhance students' understanding and knowledge retention. In addition, ChatGPT can effectively provide instructional support and generate relevant content for dental students.

Change in MYCN-driven cell state opens therapeutic window in high-risk neuroblastoma
2024-03-19
(Memphis, Tenn – March 19, 2024) MYCN is a gene associated with cell proliferation and growth, which is mutated in many types of cancer. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital studying high-risk neuroblastoma found that MYCN plays a role in modifying the cellular state, causing a positive feedback loop that leads to a faster progressing disease. Their work to understand this process revealed a potential therapeutic target in the protein KDM4. Inhibiting KDM4 demonstrated strong anticancer ...

Review of California's mental health crisis programs identified gaps and needs for consistent funding, community engagement

2024-03-19
Mental illness is a major public health issue. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 20% of U.S. adults live with a mental illness, like depression and anxiety. For perspective, this is more than all adults with coronary heart disease (5%) and diabetes (14.7%) combined. Yet, understanding and addressing mental illness remains very challenging. A team of UC Davis experts were tasked with evaluating the services of 15 mental health crisis programs in California. These programs designed for adult and transitional age youth (ages 16-25) were funded between 2018 and 2021 by ...

New study finds significant differences in intimate partner violence injury patterns across age groups

2024-03-19
Intimate partner violence (IPV) disproportionately impacts women and younger populations, with incidences peaking between adolescence and young adulthood. Alarmingly, a strong correlation exists between IPV experienced in adolescence and its persistence into adulthood. Radiologists can play a key role in identifying physical signs of IPV, since specific fracture patterns detected in imaging have been shown to be predictive of abuse in children and adults. However, limited information is available about injury patterns in IPV-exposed adolescents and emerging adults despite their vulnerability. In a recent study, researchers from Brigham and ...

In the fight against breast cancer, UMass Amherst researchers identify malignancy hibernation as the next battleground
2024-03-19
AMHERST, Mass. – There is a surprising dearth of research about how breast cancer cells can go dormant, spread and then resurface years or even decades later, according to a new review of in vitro breast cancer studies conducted by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.     “[Our review found that] less than 1% of all these studies that combine cells with designer environments look at dormancy,” says Shelly Peyton, Provost Professor of Chemical Engineering. “It’s ...

The heat index — how hot it really feels — is rising faster than temperature

The heat index — how hot it really feels — is rising faster than temperature
2024-03-19
Texans have long endured scorching summer temperatures, so a global warming increase of about 3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 Celsius) might not sound like much to worry about. But a new study concludes that the heat index — essentially how hot it really feels — has increased much faster in Texas than has the measured temperature: about three times faster. That means that on some extreme days, what the temperature feels like is between 8 and 11 F (5 to 6 C) hotter than it would without climate change. The study, using ...

Medications for Type 2 diabetes, weight loss & kidney health not always provided as needed

2024-03-19
Research Highlights: Three independent, preliminary research studies have found that new Type 2 diabetes and weight-loss medications are often not prescribed or provided to patients as needed. One study of adults who had insurance covering the cost of obesity medications found that their likelihood of being prescribed the medications differed based on racial, demographic and medical factors. A second study determined that not all patients with Type 2 diabetes were equally likely to use the newest medications. A ...
