Abstract Background The US homeless population is aging. Older adults and those living in poverty are at a high risk of food insecurity. Methods We conducted cross-sectional analysis baseline data from population-based study 350 aged ≥50. assessed security receipt assistance. used multivariable logistic regression to examine factors associated with very low security. Results majority the cohort was male African American. Over half (55.4%) met criteria for insecurity, 24.3% reported Half...
The homeless population is aging; older adults may be at high risk of experiencing violent victimization. To examine whether homelessness independently associated with physical and sexual abuse, we recruited 350 adults, aged 50 in Oakland, California, who met criteria for between July 2013 June 2014. We interviewed participants 6-month intervals 3 years Oakland about key variables, including housing status. Using generalized estimating equations, examined persistent each follow-up period was...
SUMMARY Background Climate and ecological changes substantially impact human health. Sustainable health care education ( SHE ) teaches professions students about the interdependence of ecosystems health, sector's on environment, sustainable solutions for both Yet little is understood methods used to facilitate learning within local context. Community‐engaged medical CEME ), a concept in medicine other professions, underscores relationship between community served education, which...
Purpose Medical societies have embraced advocacy as a core professional competency, but little is known about how entering medical students view physician advocacy. This study examined first year define advocacy, their motivations for and anticipated challenges to whether they believe should be competency.Method used qualitative content analysis approach analyze student narrative responses The included the written of 95% first-year at University California, San Francisco (UCSF) School...
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education specifies that trainees must receive clinical outcomes and quality benchmark data at specific levels related to institutional patient populations. Program directors (PDs) are challenged identify meaningful provide them in formats acceptable trainees.We sought understand what types of patients, data/metrics, delivery systems PDs prefer supplying with data.Trainees (n = 21) 12) from multiple specialties participated focus groups during...
Abstract Introduction: Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE) is currently used to evaluate neoadjuvant therapy response of breast cancer (1). However, DCE requires expert radiologist readers assess the change in longest tumor dimension during therapy, as well administration Gadolinium contrast agents. One modality that does not require agents diffusion-weighted (DWI), a method detects microscopic diffusion water molecules. commonly DWI apparent coefficient (ADC) fully optimised (2). The...
Phenomenon: The format of medical knowledge assessment can promote students’ use effective learning strategies from the sciences literature, such as elaboration, interleaving, retrieval practice, and distributed learning. Assessment also influence faculty teaching. Accordingly, our institution implemented a new strategy in which pre-clerkship students answered weekly formative quizzes with constructed response questions (also referred to open-ended questions) multiple-choice preparation for...
Motivation: To evaluate the potential of foundation models for medical imaging analysis. Goal(s): understand limitations trained natural domain, and assess challenges translation to complex musculoskeletal anatomy in a rich image domain. Approach: A diverse collection MRI data was used generalizability SAM when applied variety segmentation tasks common research clinical setting. Results: performed decently on zero-shot data. The ability perform well finetuned spectrum data, is somewhat...
The function of mood and emotion in human behavior has long been a subject interest for researchers lay thinkers alike. Personal experience may tell us that our moods feelings indeed influence judgment things like personal happiness or aesthetic quality. affect‐as‐information hypothesis, however, distinguishes itself from intuition it asserts is used as an actual source information these judgments. Cultures differ values ascribed to affect, thus the degree which affect judgment. present...
Objectives: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have recently become commercially available and are marketed directly to consumers for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Anabolic effects from cytokines concentrated in Leukocyte-Poor configurations PRP (LP-PRP) hypothesized inhibit native catabolic environment cartilage degeneration process. Multiple Level I trials comparing LP- hyaluronic acid placebo shown LP-PRP improve patient symptoms early OA up 1 year. However, it is unknown...
This study explores the use a deep learning network to generate T 1 rho maps from 2 for knee MRI. have clinical value in diagnosis of osteoarthritis addition while are more widely adopted and available datasets. found synthetic images maintain excellent fidelity data collected research setting performance is reduced setting. work elucidates promise accelerating imaging protocols through domain adaptation as opposed common reconstruction approaches.
The study examines the visual processes underlying detection of motion land animals, or biological motion. ability to process other living beings has profound ecological implications in wilderness and our everyday life. Earlier models suggest that there are two distinct ways this information. One uses shape an entire figure one part body. In experiment, we aim whether local feet configuration body is used determine direction into which a facing. We do by training pigeons discriminate facing...
