Differences in User Perception of Artificial Intelligence-Driven Chatbots and Traditional Tools in Qualitative Data Analysis by Boštjan Šumak, Maja Pušnik, Ines Kožuh, Andrej Šorgo, Saša Brdnik

“…This study investigates researchers’ perceptions of the usability, user experience (UX), mental workload, trust, task complexity, and emotional impact of three tools: Taguette 1.4.1 (a traditional QDA tool), ChatGPT (GPT-4, December 2023 version), and Gemini (formerly Google Bard, December 2023 version). Participants (N = 85), Master’s students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with prior experience in UX evaluations and familiarity with AI-based chatbots, performed sentiment analysis and data annotation tasks using these tools, enabling a comparative evaluation. …”

Direct targeting of risk factors significantly increases the detection of liver cirrhosis in primary care: a cross-sectional diagnostic study utilising transient elastography by Guruprasad P Aithal, Indra Neil Guha, Stephen D Ryder, Emilie A Wilkes, David J Harman, Martin W James, Matthew Jelpke, Dominic S Ottey, Timothy R Card

“…Objectives To assess the feasibility of a novel diagnostic algorithm targeting patients with risk factors for chronic liver disease in a community setting.Design Prospective cross-sectional study.Setting Two primary care practices (adult patient population 10 479) in Nottingham, UK.Participants Adult patients (aged 18 years or over) fulfilling one or more selected risk factors for developing chronic liver disease: (1) hazardous alcohol use, (2) type 2 diabetes or (3) persistently elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) liver function enzyme with negative serology.Interventions A serial biomarker algorithm, using a simple blood-based marker (aspartate aminotransferase:ALT ratio for hazardous alcohol users, BARD score for other risk groups) and subsequently liver stiffness measurement using transient elastography (TE).Main outcome measures Diagnosis of clinically significant liver disease (defined as liver stiffness ≥8 kPa); definitive diagnosis of liver cirrhosis.Results We identified 920 patients with the defined risk factors of whom 504 patients agreed to undergo investigation. …”

miRNAs and Hematological Markers in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease—A New Diagnostic Path? by Agata Michalak, Małgorzata Guz, Joanna Kozicka, Marek Cybulski, Witold Jeleniewicz, Ilona Telejko, Karolina Szczygieł, Ewa Tywanek, Halina Cichoż-Lach

“…Additionally, the NAFLD fibrosis score and BARD score were applied. <b>Results:</b> The concentration of miR-126-3p and miR-1-3p was higher, and miR-197-3p was lower in the NAFLD group (<i>p</i> < 0.0001). miR-197-3p correlated notably with hematological indices: negatively with PDW (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and positively with PLR (<i>p</i> < 0.05). …”
