Exploring the application of CHATGPT in plastic surgery: a comprehensive systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of ChatGPT in plastic surgery research and assess the authenticity of such contributions. METHODS: The study conducted a literature search in Sep'23 from databases like Pubmed, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, and OVID Medline.The following keywords 'ChatGPT', 'chatbot', 'reconstruction', 'aesthetic' and 'plastic surgery' were used. 32 papers were included from the initial 131 results of articles. English language articles from November 2022 to July 2023 discussing ChatGPT's role in plastic and aesthetic surgery were included whereas non-English documents, irrelevant content, and non-academic sources were excluded from the study. RESULTS: The manuscripts included in the systematic review had a diverse range, including original research articles, case reports, letters to the editor, and editorials. Among the included studies, there were 9 original research articles, 1 case report, 23 letters to the editor, and 2 editorials. Most publications originated from the United States (18) and Australia (7). Analysis suggested concerns, such as inaccuracies, plagiarism, outdated knowledge, and lack of personalized advice. Various authors recommend using ChatGPT as a supplementary tool rather than a replacement for human decision-making in medicine. CONCLUSIONS: ChatGPT shows potential in plastic surgery research, concerns about inaccuracies and outdated knowledge may provide deceiving information and it always requires human input and verification.

Stem Cells On Youtube: National Vs International Content.

YouTube is one of the most popular video-based social media sites across the globe. The role of stem cell transplant has not been deeply explored on YouTube. The current narrative review was planned to assess the viewership of content available on YouTube related to stem cells. The videos were classified based on type of content, duration, number of views, comments and number of likes. A total of 40 videos were downloaded under the search terms "stem cells in Pakistan" and "stem cells". Of them, 6(15%) were repeat videos, and 34(85%) were unique. The findings revealed that in 10(25%) most viewed videos from Pakistan, 6(60%) contained opinions from non-expert physicians. Among the 10(25%) most viewed international videos, the information providers were science educators in 4(40%) videos and researchers in 2 (20%). Notably, no content from Pakistan was present among the top relevant international videos. Over 27 million views were included in the total number of videos that were analysed. YouTube is a powerful tool to spread knowledge and support public health decision-making. However, misleading information regarding stem cell can lead to adverse outcomes.
