Introduction: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical settings has shown promise in various domains including diagnostics, treatment recommendation, and patient management. Recent advances have explored the potential of AI in pre-surgical assessments, but its application in transplant psychology remains unexplored. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of AI in the context of screening potential liver transplant donors and recipients. To assess the feasibility of using ChatGPT-4 to screen potential liver transplant donors and recipients. Methods: This study utilizes a cross-sectional research design to evaluate the feasibility of using ChatGPT-4 in the preliminary screening of living liver donors and liver transplant candidates. The study aims to determine the accuracy and reliability of ChatGPT-4 in assessing hypothetical scenarios involving potential donors and recipients. Results: The analysis showed no found no significant differences between ChatGPT-4 and the expert panel in assessing liver transplant candidates, demonstrating an overall accuracy of 83.58%, sensitivity of 56.10%, and specificity of 80.49%. Additionally, the Cohen’s Kappa statistic of 0.68 (95% CI: 0.52-0.83) indicated substantial agreement between ChatGPT-4 and the psychologists’ evaluations. The absence of false positives (0%) and a low false negative rate (8%) emphasize ChatGPT-4's cautious and accurate decision-making capabilities. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that ChatGPT-4 has the potential to serve as an effective screening tool for liver transplant candidates, complementing the work of human experts and enhancing the overall efficiency of the transplant process. While challenges remain, the integration of AI into the liver transplantation workflow could lead to significant improvements in candidate evaluation and patient outcomes, paving the way for the broader application of AI in clinical practice.

Introduction: Haemorrhages in the third trimester of pregnancy are nowadays a frequent situation that can jeopardize the maternal-fetal prognosis. Given its scale and degree of seriousness, this work was initiated to assess the contribution of ultrasound in its management. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection which took place at the Kalabancoro Reference Health Center from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022. Its objective was to study the contribution of ultrasound in the management of haemorrhage in the third trimester of pregnancy. Results: During the study, 154 cases of haemorrhage in the third part of pregnancy out of 2,546 pregnancies were recorded, representing a frequency of 3.4%. The average age of the patients was 27 ± 3.5 years with extremes of 16 and 38 years. Married women were the most represented with 84.4%. Out-of-school women were the most represented, accounting for 63.6% of cases. Multiparous women were the most represented with 39.6% cases. Arterial hypertension was the most common medical history, i.e. 66.6%. Bleeding during pregnancy was the most frequent reason for consultation with 87.6%. Retroplacental hematoma was the predominant etiology, i.e. 67.5%. In utero fetal death was found in 54.5% of cases. Conclusion: The contribution of ultrasound was very important in the therapeutic decision-making. Emergency caesarean section was performed in 66.7% of cases.

Malignant diseases are considered one of the problems of our time, and cancer is defined as the abnormal growth of malignant cells. It is widely accepted as the leading cause of death. There is currently no proven cancer cure. As a result, scientists have concentrated on creating secure and efficient therapies. Research has been done on the effects of naturally occurring substances that have been extracted from living things, such fungus on cancer cells. This study sought to determine the natural products' efficacy against human cancer cell line MCF-7. After A. terreus was isolated from samples of chicken droppings, it was grown on potato and Sabouraud Dextrose Agars (SDA and PDA) with chloramphenicol media. It was then identified using the extracted genomic DNA, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was amplified and sequenced. After 30 days of incubation at 27°C, natural metabolite products were also recovered from the fermentation medium using the ethyl acetate extraction technique. The effectiveness of the fungal extract against the human cancer cell line MCF-7 and the normal human cell line NHF cell was also determined after incubation for 27 hours with the natural extract. The treated human cancer cell line MCF-7 showed decrease of proliferation, whereas the normal human cell line NHF showed no effect. Significant inhibitor compared to cancer line. The IC50 values for MCF-7 cell lines and NHF normal human cell lines were 7.672 and 1431 μg/mL, respectively. In summary, MCF-7 was affected by the natural extract extracted from A. terreus, in contrast to the control. When these results were combined, they showed that the fungal extract is an effective anti-cancer treatment.

Background: Accurate knowledge of cervical vertebral morphometry is crucial for diagnosing pathological conditions and planning surgical interventions. However, data specific to the Bangladeshi population is lacking. Objectives: To determine the morphometric measurements of typical cervical vertebrae (C3-C6) on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in adult Bangladeshi people and to analyze potential sex-based differences. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 70 MRI scans (35 male, 35 female) of typical cervical vertebrae from adult Bangladeshi individuals. Various morphometric parameters were measured using 'Radiant DICOM Viewer' software. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0. Results: The sagittal diameter of the vertebral body was significantly larger in males compared to females for all measured vertebrae (p<0.001). No significant differences were found between sexes in the height and transverse length of the vertebral body, anteroposterior and transverse lengths of the vertebral foramen, dimensions of foramen transversarium, superior articular facets, lamina, pedicle, and spinous process length (p>0.05 for all). Conclusion: This study provides baseline morphometric data for typical cervical vertebrae in adult Bangladeshi individuals. The observed sexual dimorphism in sagittal vertebral body diameter and the lack of significant differences in other parameters contribute to our understanding of population-specific cervical spine anatomy. These findings may have implications for optimizing surgical techniques and implant designs for the Bangladeshi population.
Introduction: Job satisfaction is defined as “a pleasurable of positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s bob experiences.” The primary objective of this study is to measure the level of employee satisfaction towards their job.

This study investigated the influence of parental factors and pupils’ school readiness in Umuahia North Local Government Area. To achieve this purpose, three specific objectives and corresponding research questions were also raised to guide the study, three null hypotheses were postulated to guide the study and were tested at .05 level of significance. The descriptive survey research design was employed and used for this study. The population of the study was 4500 ECC II pupils with parents. Purposive and simple random sampling was used to select a sample size of 450 ECC II pupils with parents. Parental’ Factors Questionnaire (PFQ), for parents and Pupils’ School Readiness Rating Scale (PSRRS) for pupils were used as instruments for the study. The face and content validities of the instruments was determined by experts in Psychological Foundations of Education and Early Childhood Education. The Cronbach’s alpha statistical analysis was used to determine the reliability of instruments which yielded reliability indices of 0.73, 0.71 and 0.77 respectively. Mean analysis and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the null hypotheses. The study revealed that: there is a significant influence of parental styles, parental socio-economic status, and parental educational background on pupils’ school readiness in Umuahia North Local Government Area.
