eToyBox is a learning management system for preschool teachers to improve their health literacy, which ultimately aims
to improve children’s obesity-related behaviour. As part of the development process of eToyBox, assessment on digital
literacy, acceptance of digitization of education materials, and perceived barriers in adopting online learning is needed.
Fifty-four preschool teachers under the Community Development Department (KEMAS) in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor,
and Sarawak, who participated in ToyBox Study Malaysia intervention in 2018, took part in this cross-sectional study.
An online self-administered questionnaire was used to assess sociodemographic background, use of communication
tools and media, and teacher’s views on adapting the ToyBox modules to digital education materials. Respondents were
contacted, and questionnaire link was shared through WhatsApp messages. Most participants (74.0%) were Malay
females aged 31 to 40 years old. Most participants had internet access (94.4%) and owned at least a smart phone,
laptop or tablet (94.4%). Participants perceived their computer skills to be average (75.0%). Majority of respondents
(65.0%) reported advanced and higher abilities in word processing and email, but only 22.0% in spreadsheet skills. The
main barrier to accessing online material was unstable internet connection (74.1%). Most respondents (90.0%) agree
that adapting effective modules to online learning will be beneficial for professional development and teaching practices.
In conclusion, most participants supported digitizing Toybox Study Malaysia educational content and were comfortable
72
with its implementation via an online learning platform. The findings from this study can advise future development of
online learning materials for preschool teachers in Malaysia.

Korean Journal of Radiology 2024;25(11):1011-1021
Objective:
The aim of this study was to analyze the origins of prostatic arteries (PAs) in the Korean population and compare them with those reported in the literature.
Materials and Methods:
From April 2018 to February 2024, 108 male (mean age ± standard deviation: 71.6 ± 9.7 years) with lower urinary tract symptoms (n = 102) or refractory hematuria (n = 6) underwent prostatic artery embolization (PAE). Computed tomography and angiography images were retrospectively reviewed. The branching pattern of the internal iliac artery (IIA) was classified according to the Yamaki system. The origin of the PA was categorized using the de Assis definition, and the incidence of each type was recorded. A systematic literature review was conducted and the most common types of PA were investigated.
Results:
PAE was successfully implemented on 211 of the 216 pelvic sidewalls. PA cannulation failed in five sidewalls due to a steno-occlusive state. The most common IIA type was type A, in which the IIA was divided into the superior gluteal artery and gluteal–pudendal trunk (77%). Of 226 PAs analyzed, including 15 in 211 sidewalls exhibiting dual PAs, the most common PA origin was the internal pudendal artery (type IV, 35%), followed by the superior vesical (type I, 25%) and obturator (type III, 21%) arteries. Anterior division of IIA (type II) was less common (10%). Type V (uncommon origins) occurred in 8% of cases, including five distal internal pudendal arteries, four quadfurcations, three inferior gluteal arteries, three trifurcations, two medial femoral circumflex arteries, and two rectal arteries. Two of the five patients with surgically or endovascularly altered anatomy were successfully treated via PAs originating from the medial femoral circumflex arteries. Globally, type I is the most common PA type.
Conclusion
In the Korean population, the most common IIA pattern and PA origin were types A and IV, respectively.

The emergence of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), a chatbot developed by OpenAI, has garnered interest in the application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models in the medical field. This review summarizes different generative AI models and their potential applications in the field of medicine and explores the evolving landscape of Generative Adversarial Networks and diffusion models since the introduction of generative AI models. These models have made valuable contributions to the field of radiology. Furthermore, this review also explores the significance of synthetic data in addressing privacy concerns and augmenting data diversity and quality within the medical domain, in addition to emphasizing the role of inversion in the investigation of generative models and outlining an approach to replicate this process. We provide an overview of Large Language Models, such as GPTs and bidirectional encoder representations (BERTs), that focus on prominent representatives and discuss recent initiatives involving language-vision models in radiology, including innovative large language and vision assistant for biomedicine (LLaVa-Med), to illustrate their practical application.This comprehensive review offers insights into the wide-ranging applications of generative AI models in clinical research and emphasizes their transformative potential.
