Traditionally, rural areas in many countries are limited by a lack of access to health care due the inherent challenges associated with recruitment and retention healthcare professionals. Telemedicine, which uses communication technology deliver medical services over distance, is an economical potentially effective way address this problem. In research, we develop new telepresence application using Augmented Reality (AR) system. We explore use Microsoft HoloLens facilitate enhance remote...
Background The provision of acute medical care in rural and remote areas presents unique challenges for practitioners. Therefore, a tailored approach to training providers would prove beneficial. Although simulation-based education (SBME) has been shown be effective, access such can difficult costly areas. Objective aim this study was evaluate the educational efficacy an procedure delivered remotely, using portable, self-contained unit outfitted with off-the-shelf low-cost telecommunications...
ABSTRACT Wastewater surveillance has emerged as a crucial public health tool for population-level pathogen surveillance. Supported by funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, FDA‘s genomic epidemiology program, GenomeTrakr, was leveraged to sequence SARS-CoV-2 wastewater sites across United States. This initiative required evaluation, optimization, development, and publication new methods analytical tools spanning sample collection through variant analyses. Version-controlled...
Detection of relative changes in circulating blood volume is important to guide resuscitation and manage a variety medical conditions including sepsis, trauma, dialysis congestive heart failure. Recent studies have shown that estimates can be obtained from the cross-sectional area (CSA) internal jugular vein (IJV) ultrasound images. However, accurate segmentation tracking IJV imaging challenging task significantly influenced by number parameters such as image quality, shape, temporal...
Chronic pain is a complex disease that requires interprofessional care for effective management. Despite the need multidisciplinary care, and health inequities can prevent individuals from attaining adequate treatment. Factors such as mental health, cost, distance to center contribute accessibility inequality. The aim of this study examine declined referrals at Toronto Academic Pain Medicine Institute (TAPMI) determine reason declining number referrals.
To examine the influence of new graduate nurses' (NGNs) personal and situational factors on their satisfaction with practice environment.Transitional support programmes are widely used to provide professional for NGNs' transitioning-to-practice. However, little is known about whether characteristics environment.This was a cross-sectional survey. NGNs were surveyed approximately 8 weeks after commencement programme. In addition socio-demographic data, two validated, standardised instruments...
Objective To determine the natural history of incidentally detected misty mesentery on computed tomography (CT) and to correlate risk malignancy with size mesenteric lymph nodes. Methods A retrospective review all CT abdomen/pelvic examinations from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2008 identified cases mesentery. The largest node was measured, additional areas lymphadenopathy were identified. Follow-up obtained by reviewing subsequent examinations, clinical notes, pathologic specimens....
Introduction Closed reduction of distal radius fractures (CRDRF) is a commonly performed emergency department (ED) procedure. The use point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) to diagnose and guide has previously been described. primary objective this study was determine if the addition PoCUS CRDRF changed perception successful initial reduction. This measured by rate further attempts based on following clinical determination achievement best possible Methods We multicenter prospective cohort study,...
Background Despite the legalization of cannabis use in Canada 2018, there remains little research on harm reduction, particularly for women. Scholarship and public health guidelines tend to focus risks use, emphasizing abstinence rather than reduction. Additionally, harm-reduction often lack perspectives women who allied social health-care professionals.
China is still a predominantly rural country and the key figures in decentralized pyramidal system of medical responsibility are farm workers who have been given basic training. They give simple treatment or advice but they also continue to do their former agricultural work. Their main duties health education preventive medicine. Generally training program consists 3 month course at commune county hospital followed by periods further 1 months later years augmented teaching from mobile teams...
Despite the established efficacy of multidisciplinary chronic pain care, barriers such as inflated referral wait times and uncoordinated care further hinder patient health access.
Detection of relative changes in circulating blood volume is important to guide resuscitation and manage variety medical conditions including sepsis, trauma, dialysis congestive heart failure. Recent studies have shown that estimates can be obtained from ultrasound imagery the internal jugular vein (IJV). However, segmentation tracking IJV significantly influenced by speckle noise shadowing which introduce uncertainty boundaries vessel. In this paper, we investigate use optical flow...
A significant gap has been documented between best practice and the actual of surgery. Our group identified that colorectal cancer staging in Ontario was suboptimal subsequently developed a knowledge translation strategy using principles social marketing influence expert local opinion leaders for cancer.Opinion were Hiss methodology. Hospitals cluster-randomized to one two intervention arms. Both groups exposed formal continuing medical education session given by leader cancer. In treatment...
Medical research suggests that the area of IVC and its temporal variation imaged by bedside ultrasound is useful in guiding resuscitation critically-ill. Unfortunately, gaps vessel wall intraliminal artifact represents a challenge for both manual existing algorithm-based segmentation techniques. In this paper, novel polar active contour algorithm based on third image moment proposed used tracking images. To validate we compare with three state-of-the-art relevant algorithms. It shown...
Despite calls for the development and evaluation of pain education programs during early medical student training, little research has been dedicated to this initiative.
Leveraging "big data" as a means of informing cost-effective care holds potential in triaging high-risk heart failure (HF) patients for interventions within hospitals seeking to reduce 30-day readmissions.Explore provider's beliefs and perceptions about using an electronic health record (EHR)-based tool that uses unstructured clinical notes risk-stratify patients.Six providers from inpatient HF clinic urban safety net hospital were recruited participate semistructured focus group. A...
<h3>Context</h3> Chronic pain is a common, complex, and costly condition that managed primarily in primary care Canada. Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) health professions education model uses telehealth technology to bridge specialists community clinicians disseminate best practices foster interprofessional collaboration. In 2014, amidst national opioid crisis debate surrounding guidelines, ECHO Ontario Pain Opioid Stewardship ('ECHO Pain'), the first Canada, was launched....
