OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the accuracy of an artificial intelligence program (ChatGPT 4.0) as a medical translation modality in a simulated pediatric urgent care setting. METHODS: Two entirely separate instances of ChatGPT 4.0 were used. The first served as a simulated patient (SP). The SP generated complaints and sympt…

: Prolonged disorders of consciousness (DoC) present complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of two ChatGPT models (ChatGPT 4o and ChatGPT o1) in answering questions about prolonged DoC, framed as if they were posed by a patient's relative. Secondary objectives included…

Large language models (LLMs), represented by ChatGPT, are one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in generative AI and have begun to be applied in EFL writing instruction. The advent of LLMs presents both opportunities and challenges for EFL learners, underscoring the importance of empirical evidence on…

PURPOSE: This study investigates how Mandarin-English bilingual students in Canada produce Mandarin tones and how this is influenced by factors such as tone complexity, cross-linguistic influences, and speech input. METHOD: Participants were 82 students enrolled in a Chinese bilingual program in Western Canada. Studen…

PURPOSE: Following the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) framework, the current study investigated the active ingredients in the modified semantic feature analysis (mSFA) targeting either noun or verb retrieval in Mandarin-English bilingual adults with aphasia (BWA). METHOD: Twelve Mandarin-English…

This study aims to measure the performance of different AI-language models in three sets of pre-internship medical exams and to compare their performance with Iranian medical students. Three sets of Persian pre-internship exams were used, along with their English translation (six sets in total). In late September 2023,…

OBJECTIVE: Clinical narratives provide comprehensive patient information. Achieving interoperability involves mapping relevant details to standardized medical vocabularies. Typically, natural language processing divides this task into named entity recognition (NER) and medical concept normalization (MCN). State-of-the-…

The Large Database of English Pseudo-compounds (LaDEP) contains nearly 7500 English words which mimic, but do not truly possess, a compound morphemic structure. These pseudo-compounds can be parsed into two free morpheme constituents (e.g., car-pet), but neither constituent functions as a morpheme within the overall wo…

This study aims to determine the readability and trustworthiness of English and Spanish hypo- and hyperthyroid-related online information. Google searches were conducted for four search terms: hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's Disease, hyperthyroidism, and Graves' Disease. For each search term, the first 10 websites were ana…

PURPOSE: Limited research exists to guide augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention for children from multilingual backgrounds. When a graphic symbol-based AAC system is provided to children, they need to learn the meaning of the graphic symbols. This study determined the effect of teaching the asso…

OBJECTIVE: Assess the accuracy of abstracts in published veterinary ophthalmology articles. PROCEDURES: Abstracts and contents of 204 original research articles in veterinary ophthalmology published in seven peer-reviewed journals between 2016-2020 were reviewed. Abstracts were considered inconsistent if they containe…

Existing research on syntactic complexity tends to examine diversity and complexity embedded in grammatical employments which may well be witnessed in formulations of different syntactic structures. Conceivably, the subject syntactic complexity seems to be exercised mostly by non-native speakers and writers. The presen…

BACKGROUND: Semantic category fluency is a widely used task involving language, memory, and executive function. Previous studies of bilingual semantic fluency have shown only small differences between languages. Graph theory analyzes complex relationships in networks, including node and edge number, clustering coeffici…

The Internal-External Locus of Control Short Scale-4 (IE-4) measures two dimensions of the personality trait locus of control with two items each. IE-4 was originally developed and validated in German and later translated into English. In the present study, we assessed the psychometric properties (i.e., objectivity, re…

This mixed methods research study investigated if explicit instruction could affect EFL teachers' perceptions and practices of classroom justice considering its three-dimensional conceptualization based on the social psychology theories of justice, encompassing the distributive, interactional, and procedural justice. T…

In a masked form priming lexical decision task, orthographically related word primes cause null or inhibitory priming relative to unrelated controls because of lexical competition between primes and targets, whereas orthographically related nonword primes lead to facilitation because nonwords are not lexically represen…

Advances in computer-aided translation technology have made tremendous progress in accuracy in the past few years. Chemical Abstracts Service of the American Chemical Society summarizes scientific works from more than 50 languages and allows the users to search papers in nine selected languages. Currently, only the abs…

This study investigated early indicators of Spanish-speaking English learners (ELs) at risk for reading difficulties at the end of Grade 2 by examining their early bilingual oral language development, taking into account language of academic instruction. Standardized measures of reading and narrative samples were colle…

Children with asthma are targeted for influenza vaccine because of their vulnerability to complications, particularly those with low income or family preference for Spanish language. We used text messaging to encourage caregivers to vaccinate. Participants were children (aged >6 months), predominantly low income and La…
