“…Whilst pesticide poisoning has previously been identified as the most common method of suicide in Guyana, 6 the overall sample contained a balance of hanging and pesticide poisoning deaths. However, pesticide poisoning was the method used by Guyanese people whose suicide was triggered primarily by interpersonal conflict.…”

“…Males and people identified as Indo-Guyanese were overrepresented in our sample of people who died by suicide, however this is consistent with previous research findings. 6 Whilst the sample size is limited, it is considered appropriate for Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. 18 Informants were interviewed between six months to five years after the suicide death, which introduces varying recall bias to the data, a limitation common amongst psychological autopsy studies.…”

“…The results of this study indicate that lethal pesticides are being used to die by suicide in Guyana, as has been reported previously. 6 Pesticide suicides are best prevented by restricting the importation of highly lethal pesticides and promoting less toxic substitutes. 41 This has been shown to be an effective population level suicide prevention strategy, 29 with no impact on agricultural yields.…”

“…A recent systematic review of suicidality in Guyana identified preliminary evidence for key risk groups; males, female youths, and people of Indo-Guyanese ethnicity. 6 Furthermore, pesticide poisoning has been identified as the most common method for suicide 6 and reported suicide attempts 7 in Guyana. Yet, other than epidemiological and descriptive analysis, there is limited literature about the context of suicides and suicide attempts in Guyana.…”

Introduction: Acute ChatGPT, an artificial inteeligence-powered chatbot, presents a potential influence on healthcare and research in medicine. In this investigation, we systematically reviewed medical literature regarding the utilization of ChatGPT, utilizing the Scopus database. Methods: This systematic review follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, and according to the search in Scopus, 11,219 articles were identified. Original studies, clinical trials, correspondence articles, letters, notes, and research protocols were included, resulting in 14 studies. Results: All studies were published in 2023, among them 35.7% (5/14) were editorials and 14.3% (2/14) were opinion or perspective articles. Only one study (19) conducted a pilot study on the application of ChatGPT in medical diagnosis. Furthermore, 64.3% of the studies were published in quartile 1 journals according to Scimago rankings, and the USA had the highest production of articles on ChatGPT in medicine (35.7%). The included studies highlighted the potential and challenges of ChatGPT in various domains of healthcare. Ethical concerns, such as data privacy and bias, were also analyzed. Various fields of health were evaluated with ChatGPT, including nuclear medicine, gynecology, nuclear medicine, and emergency medicine. ChatGPT was considered a tool to improve patient education. ChatGPT has a promising role in scientific writing, emphasizing the need for human involvement, ethical guidelines, and addressing concerns related to bias, fabrication, and plagiarism. Conclusions: Scopus-retrieved articles underscored the potential advantages and ethical dilemmas associated with the integration of ChatGPT in healthcare. While ChatGPT demonstrated promising applications in various medical domains, caution, further evaluation, and ethical considerations are needed for responsible implementation in real-world clinical settings.

Language Ideologies and Identities on Facebook and TikTok

This monograph examines the ways in which Caribbean content creators use elements of Caribbean Englishes and Creoles in their performances of identity in image macro memes and TikTok videos. It also examines the ideologies that underlie these performances. The data comprises memes from Trinidadian Facebook pages, as well as videos by Guyanese, Barbadian, and Trinidadian TikTokers, and was analysed using the multimodal method designed by Kress. For meme makers, identity is understood as a system of distinction between ingroups and outgroups, and language and other semiotic features, notably emojis, are used to distinguish Trinidadians from other nationalities, and groups of Trinidadians from one another. TikTokers establish their Caribbean identity primarily through knowledge of lexis, but this works in concert with other linguistic features to create authentic identities. Social media content is underpinned by the tension between the acceptance and rejection of standard language ideologies.
