We sought to determine whether health care use and expenditures among gay bisexual men were reduced following the enactment of same-sex marriage laws in Massachusetts 2003.
Background. Since the mid-1990s, effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens have improved in potency, tolerability, ease of use, and class diversity. We sought to examine trends treatment initiation resulting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virologic suppression North America between 2001 2009, demographic geographic disparities these outcomes. Methods. analyzed data on HIV-infected individuals newly clinically eligible for ART (ie, first reported CD4+ count <350 cells/µL or...

Competency Questions (CQs) are a form of ontology functional requirements expressed as natural language questions. Inspecting CQs together with the axioms in an provides critical insights into intended scope and applicability ontology. also underpin number tasks development ontologies e.g. reuse, testing, requirement specification, definition patterns that implement such requirements. Although integral to majority engineering methodologies, practice publishing alongside ontological artefacts...
In the past decade, increases in syphilis and rectal gonorrhea have been reported among men who sex with (MSM) United States; however, limited sexually transmitted disease (STD) positivity data are available on MSM receive their healthcare from primary care or general medical clinics. The current study sought to elucidate STD asymptomatic seen at largest clinic for New England describe test by reason testing.As part of Centers Disease Control Prevention's Prevalence Monitoring Project, all...
Background: Nonoccupational postexposure prophylaxis (NPEP) has been used to decrease HIV transmission after high-risk exposures. However, suboptimal adherence in completing the recommended 28-day course resulted failures. Fenway Community Health, largest center caring for HIV-infected and men who have sex with (MSM) New England, began an NPEP program 1997, initially using zidovudine-based regimens. Methods: Two phase 4 studies, tenofovir DF regimens combined either lamivudine or...
This article reviews recent advances in the interdisciplinary area lying between artificial intelligence and theory of argumentation. The has two distinct foci: first, examining ways which argumentation inspired new models logical computational intelligence, second, exploring how AI techniques have been used extended to model handle real world argument a wide variety domains including law, education, medicine, e-commerce. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A growing body of research documents mental health disparities among women who have sex with (WSW) compared men only (WSM). However, there remains a dearth exploring these indicators alongside sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and WSW sexual health.A retrospective chart review was conducted all female patients (n = 368) screened for STDs between July 2007 December at an urban community center in Boston, MA. Deidentified electronic medical record data (e.g., demographics, psychosocial,...
Vaccination is the primary strategy to reduce burden of human papillomavirus (HPV) related diseases in United States. Unvaccinated youth are at risk for HPV infection and associated diseases, limited research has explored factors with vaccination among those who disadvantaged high risk, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender queer and/or homeless.A retrospective electronic medical record review was conducted an urban, homeless, focused health center northeastern US logistic regression...
This paper presents an ontology based approach to the production of personalised motivational messages user a e-Health service. The service is aimed at encouraging diabetic patients do physical activity. textual have overall predetermined structure, and need be user's characteristics, context in which message needs generated.
Competency Questions (CQs) are essential in ontology engineering; they express an ontology's functional requirements as natural language questions, offer crucial insights into scope and pivotal for various tasks, e.g. reuse, testing, requirement specification, pattern definition. Despite their importance, the practice of publishing CQs alongside ontological artefacts is not commonly adopted. We propose approach based on Generative AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs) retrofitting...
Helping people to adopt and maintain healthier lifestyles is a primary goal of behaviour change interventions. Successful interventions need account for different barriers (informational, environmental, or psychological) that prevent from engaging in healthy behaviours. Computational approaches modelling these focus primarily on informational needs, persuasive techniques. The study presented this paper specifically aimed at creating formal conceptual model the psychological notion behaviour,...
