This review article explores the potential of ChatGPT as a substitute for diabetes educators. Diabetes is a prevalent chronic disease that requires ongoing education and support for patients to effectively manage their condition. However, there is a shortage of diabetes educators, and traditional education methods have limitations in addressing patients' individual needs. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence technology that offers a personalized and interactive approach to education and support. In this review, we provide an overview of ChatGPT technology, discuss the challenges facing diabetes educators, review evidence supporting the use of ChatGPT in diabetes education, and examine ethical considerations related to its use. We also provide recommendations for further research and development of ChatGPT in diabetes education and integration into clinical practice. ChatGPT has the potential to improve access to education and support for patients with diabetes, but further research is needed to better understand its effectiveness and limitations. It is important to ensure that ChatGPT is developed and integrated in an ethical and equitable manner to maximize its potential benefits and minimize potential risks.
Tocolytics are the drugs that are used to prolong the time of child birth, for a short period - up to 2 days. If the labour starts too early during pregnancy also termed as preterm birth, which is supposed to be one of the major cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity, all over the world. Administration of tocolytic agents can help in preterm labour to delay the preterm labour by 48 hours. Tocolytics temporarily slow the contractions and hence it is possible to transport the patient to a hospital, where specialized care can be provided to premature baby and also corticosteroids can be administered, which help mature the baby’s lungs. Different class of drugs are studied as tocolytics. Beta-Adrenergic receptor agonists like Terbutaline, Ritodrine, Fenoterol, Metaproterenol, Hexoprenaline, Albuterol, Orciprenaline, Nylidrin. Calcium channel blockers like Nicardipine and Nifedipine. Magnesium Sulfate. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories or prostaglandin inhibitors like Indomethacin, and Oxytocin inhibitors like Atosiban were found effective in different studies with some side effects, are discussed here briefly. Some Nitrates, alcohol, Progesterone have also been tried with not much significant effect. Calcium channel blocker specially Nifedipine is most studied and found to be safer and effective for tocolysis. Individual uterine relaxant therapy should take into account individual differences in metabolism and response to drugs.. Short term use of tocolytics has been proven more effective and safer than longer use of it for pre-term labour.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
