ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: ChatGPT, a powerful AI language model, has gained increasing prominence in medicine, offering potential applications in healthcare, clinical decision support, patient communication, and medical research. This systematic review aims to comprehensively assess the applications of ChatGPT in healthcare education, research, writing, patient communication, and practice while also delineating potential limitations and areas for improvement. METHOD: Our comprehensive database search retrieved relevant papers from PubMed, Medline and Scopus. After the screening process, 83 studies met the inclusion criteria. This review includes original studies comprising case reports, analytical studies, and editorials with original findings. RESULT: ChatGPT is useful for scientific research and academic writing, and assists with grammar, clarity, and coherence. This helps non-English speakers and improves accessibility by breaking down linguistic barriers. However, its limitations include probable inaccuracy and ethical issues, such as bias and plagiarism. ChatGPT streamlines workflows and offers diagnostic and educational potential in healthcare but exhibits biases and lacks emotional sensitivity. It is useful in inpatient communication, but requires up-to-date data and faces concerns about the accuracy of information and hallucinatory responses. CONCLUSION: Given the potential for ChatGPT to transform healthcare education, research, and practice, it is essential to approach its adoption in these areas with caution due to its inherent limitations.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a significant global health concern, with Type 2 DM (T2DM) being highly prevalent. Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), such as Danuglipron, offer potential benefits in T2DM management. This meta-analysis examines the safety and efficacy of Danuglipron, focusing on adverse outcomes and glycemic parameters. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library for RCTs involving Danuglipron till August 2023, following PRISMA guidelines. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used for quality assessment. Adverse outcomes (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, decreased appetite, dyspepsia, dizziness) and glycemic parameters like changes in HbA1C, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and body weight were analyzed. Results: Four RCTs published from 2021 to 2023 were included. Both doses of Danuglipron were associated with diarrhea (RR=2.66, 90% CI: 1.32 to 5.35, p=0.02), nausea (RR=5.5, 90% CI: 3.4 to 8.88, p<0.00001), and vomiting (RR=5.98, 90% CI: 2.93 to 12.23, p=0.0001). The 120mg dose showed decreased appetite (RR=3.46, 90% CI: 1.57 to 7.62, p=0.01), dyspepsia (RR=4.04, 90% CI: 1.93 to 8.43, p=0.002), and dizziness (RR=5.08, 90% CI: 1.45 to 17.82, p=0.03). Reductions in HbA1C (SMD -1.09, 90% CI -1.39 to -0.8, p < 0.00001), FPG (SMD -1.10, 90% CI -1.46 to -0.75, p < 0.00001), and body weight (SMD -1.08, 90% CI -1.42 to -0.74, p < 0.00001) were observed for both doses. Conclusion: Danuglipron demonstrates potential for glycemic control and weight reduction in T2DM. Adverse outcomes include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite, with dose-related effects. Clinicians must weigh benefits against side effects when considering Danuglipron for T2DM management.
ABSTRACT
Polatuzumab vedotin (PV) is an antibody-drug conjugate that has shown promising results in the treatment of diffuse B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL). This abstract summarizes the current understanding of PV's use in these malignancies based on available clinical data. Multiple clinical trials have evaluated PV as a part of combination therapy regimens in relapsed/refractory DLBCL and HGBCL. The pivotal Phase II study, GO29365, demonstrated that PV in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) significantly improved progression-free survival and overall survival compared to BR alone in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who ineligible for stem cell transplantation were. Subsequently, the US Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to PV in this setting. PV's mechanism of action involves targeting CD79b, a cell surface receptor expressed in B-cell malignancies, and delivering the cytotoxic agent monomethyl auristatin E to CD79b-expressing cells. This approach enhances the selective killing of cancer cells while sparing normal cells. The safety profile of PV is generally manageable, with adverse events including infusion-related reactions, cytopenia, peripheral neuropathy, and infections. Overall, PV has emerged as a valuable treatment option for patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL and HGBCL, offering improved outcomes when combined with appropriate chemotherapy regimens. Ongoing research and clinical trials are further exploring PV's potential in various treatment settings, including frontline therapy and in combination with other novel agents.
