Crowd-sourcing social computing systems represent a new material for HCI designers. However, these are difficult to work with and prototype, because they require critical mass of participants investigate behavior. Service design is an emerging research area that focuses on how customers co-produce the services use, thus it appears be great domain apply this material. To relationship, we developed Tiramisu, transit information system where commuters share GPS traces submit problem reports....
This clinical practice guideline from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy provides an evidence-based approach diagnosis of malignancy in patients with biliary strictures undetermined etiology. document was developed using Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework addresses role fluoroscopic-guided biopsy sampling, brush cytology, cholangioscopy, EUS strictures. In endoscopic workup these patients, we suggest use sampling addition to cytology...
Objective Weight loss interventions to treat obesity include sleeve gastrectomy (SG), lifestyle intervention (LI), endoscopic gastroplasty (ESG) and semaglutide. We aimed identify which treatments are cost-effective requirements for semaglutide be cost-effective. Design developed a semi-Markov microsimulation model compare the effectiveness of SG, ESG, LI weight in 40 years old with class I/II/III obesity. Extensive one-way sensitivity threshold analysis were performed vary cost treatment...
We report the development and validation of a combined DNA/RNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform to improve evaluation pancreatic cysts.
Greater availability of less invasive biliary imaging to rule out choledocholithiasis should reduce the need for diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients who have a remote history cholecystectomy. The primary aims were determine incidence, characteristics, and outcomes individuals undergo first-time ERCP >1 year after cholecystectomy (late-ERCP).
There is significant research interest in developing and validating novel pancreatic cyst-fluid biomarkers given the increasing recognition of prevalence cysts their associated malignant potential. Although current international consensus guidelines are helpful, they fail to diagnose with certainty cyst type level epithelial dysplasia. They also fall short predicting future likelihood transformation. A systematic review was performed objective summarizing cyst-fluid-based that have been...
In patients with treatment-naive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the POLARIX study (A Study Comparing Efficacy and Safety of Polatuzumab Vedotin With Rituximab-Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Prednisone [R-CHP] Versus Vincristine, [R-CHOP] in Participants Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma) reported a 6.5% improvement 2-year progression-free survival (PFS), no difference overall (OS) or safety using polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, prednisone (pola-R-CHP)...
The use of computer-aided detection (CADe) has increased the adenoma rates (ADRs) during colorectal cancer (CRC) screening/surveillance in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) but not shown benefit real-world implementation studies. We performed a single-center pragmatic RCT to evaluate impact real-time CADe on ADRs colonoscopy by community gastroenterologists.
