Both ChatGPT and GPT-4 were found to be be good at analyzing free-text notes for lung cancer insights. One of the two programs, however, was able to outperform the other.
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University are commissioning a study to determine if a novel MRI technique can predict the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating breast cancer.
Hospital patients who test positive for Clostridioides difficile immediately upon admission but show no symptoms are highly unlikely to spread the germ to other inpatients.
