People who have survived COVID-19 frequently complain of cognitive dysfunction, which has been described as brain fog. The prevalence post–COVID-19 impairment and the association with disease severity are not well characterized. Previous studies on topic limited by small sample sizes suboptimal measurement functioning.1 We investigated rates in survivors were treated outpatient, emergency department (ED), or inpatient hospital settings.
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a rapid uptake of telemedicine in primary care requiring both patients and providers to learn how navigate remotely. This change can impact the patient-provider relationship that often defines care, especially care.This study aims provide insight into experiences with during pandemic, it had on their relationship.A qualitative using thematic analysis semistructured interviews.Primary (n=21) adult (n=65) chronic disease across practices 3 National...
Importance A substantial number of individuals worldwide experience long COVID, or post-COVID condition. Other postviral and autoimmune conditions have a female predominance, but whether the same is true for especially within different subgroups, uncertain. Objective To evaluate sex differences in risk developing COVID among adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study used data from National Institutes Health (NIH) Researching to Enhance Recovery...
Purpose Little is known about why women with breast cancer who have surgery do not receive proven effective postsurgical adjuvant treatments. Methods We surveyed 258 recently underwent surgical treatment at six New York City hospitals for early-stage their care, knowledge, and beliefs its treatment. As per national guidelines, all should received Adjuvant data were obtained from inpatient outpatient charts. Factor analysis was used to create scales scored 100 of medical mistrust, physician...
Rationale: Prior studies have shown an anticancer effect of metformin in patients with breast and colorectal cancer. It is unclear, however, whether has a mortality benefit lung cancer.Objectives: To compare overall survival diabetes stage IV non–small cell cancer (NSCLC) taking versus those not on metformin.Methods: Using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results registry linked to Medicare claims, we identified 750 65–80 years age diagnosed NSCLC between 2007 2009. We used...
Abstract The spino-ponto-amygdaloid pathway is a major ascending circuit relaying nociceptive information from the spinal cord to brain. Potentiation of excitatory synaptic transmission in parabrachial nucleus (PBN) central amygdala (CeA) has been reported rodent models persistent pain. However, functional significance this modulation somatosensory component pain was recently challenged by studies showing that neurons do not target CeA-projecting PBN cells and manipulations have no effect on...
Purpose With the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 transition to pass/fail in 2022, uncertainty exists regarding how other residency application components, including research conducted during medical school, will inform interview and ranking decisions. The authors explore program director (PD) views on student research, importance of disseminating that work, translatable skill set participation. Method Surveys were distributed all U.S. PDs remained open from August November...
There are currently no validated clinical biomarkers of postacute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).
Minority patients with lung cancer are less likely to receive stage-appropriate treatment. Along access care and provider-related factors, cultural factors such as patients' beliefs, fatalism, medical mistrust may help explain this disparity.To determine associated disparities in treatment.Patients newly diagnosed were recruited from four centers New York City 2008 2011. Using validated tools, we surveyed participants about their beliefs regarding cancer, mistrust. We compared rates of...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a highly lethal disease. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is both risk factor for and sequela of PDAC. Metformin commonly prescribed biguanide oral hypoglycemic used the treatment type II DM. We investigated whether metformin use before PDAC diagnosis affected survival patients with DM, controlling confounders such as diabetic severity.We Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results registry (SEER)-Medicare linked database to identify diagnosed between 2007...
<h3>PURPOSE</h3> The need to rapidly implement telemedicine in primary care during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was addressed differently by various practices. Using qualitative data from semistructured interviews with practice leaders, we aimed report commonly shared experiences and unique perspectives regarding implementation evolution/maturation since March 2020. <h3>METHODS</h3> We administered a semistructured, 25-minute, virtual interview 25 leaders 2 health systems...
Abstract Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are blood-based designed to screen for signals of multiple cancers. There is growing interest and investment in examining the potential benefits applications MCED tests. If shown have clinical utility, it important ensure that all people—regardless their demographic or socioeconomic background—equitably benefit from these Unfortunately, with health care innovation, such considerations often ignored until after inequities emerge. We urge...
Due to bladder tumors’ contact with urine, urine-derived cells (UDCs) may serve as a surrogate for monitoring the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cancer (BC). However, composition of UDCs and extent which they mirror remain poorly characterized. We generated first single-cell RNA-sequencing BC patient matched peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC). urine was more cellular than healthy donor (HD) containing multiple immune populations including myeloid cells, CD4+ CD8+ T natural killer (NK) B...
This study adapted ACCESS, a navigator‐led early palliative care model, to address disparities in for Black and Latina women with advanced breast cancer using qualitative feedback from patients health professionals. Findings emphasize the importance of cultural alignment, flexible care, strong interdisciplinary coordination enhance acceptability improve supportive equity.
The intercalated disk protein Xin was originally discovered in chicken striated muscle and implicated cardiac morphogenesis. In the mouse, there are two homologous genes, mXinα mXinβ. human homolog of mXinα, Cmya1, maps to chromosomal region 3p21.2–21.3, near a dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction defect-2 locus. Here we report that mXinα-null mouse hearts hypertrophied exhibit fibrosis, indicative cardiomyopathy. A significant upregulation mXinβ likely provides partial compensation...
Physicians frequently express dissatisfaction about caring for patients with chronic pain and report that inadequate training concern addiction are impediments to prescribing opioids. Elderly may be at increased risk of experiencing uncontrolled this patient population is increasingly being cared by geriatricians rather than internists. We sought determine if there a differential impact on internists the factors adversely affect attitudes toward opioid prescribing.Anonymous survey geriatric...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether overall survival is improving among women in the United States with advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study evaluated trends treatment and for older than 65 years diagnosed stage III IV epithelial cancer between 1995 2008 using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results–Medicare data. Parametric semiparametric multivariate analyses were used to assess comparative rates factors affecting recurrence. RESULTS: Of 7,938 who met...
Objective: Medication nonadherence is a major cause of uncontrolled hypertension, but clinicians are poor at judging adherence, and the gold standard for measuring electronic monitoring, rarely available in clinical settings. Self-report questionnaires (SRQs), by contrast, inexpensive, easy to administer, hence, may be useful 'diagnosing' nonadherence. In this study, we evaluated validity two commonly used medication adherence SRQs among patients with using pillbox measurement as standard....
