OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to compare organ and effective doses for small-bowel follow-through (SBFT) abdominopelvic MDCT in adults with Crohn's disease, retrospectively evaluate the number radiographic examinations performed disease indications, identify those patients undergoing serial better delineate use radiology diagnosis clinical management disease.
Precision or personalized medicine through clinical genome and exome sequencing has been described by some as a revolution that could transform healthcare delivery, yet it is currently used in only small fraction of patients, principally for the diagnosis suspected Mendelian conditions targeting cancer treatments. Given burden illness our society, interest to ask how can be constructively integrated more broadly into routine practice betterment public health. In November 2014, 46 experts...
Sleep is critical to health and functionality, several studies have investigated the inherited component of insomnia other sleep disorders using genome-wide association (GWAS). However, focused on duration are less common. Here, we used data from participants in Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative (CPMC) (n = 4,401) examine putative associations between self-reported duration, demographic lifestyle variables, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) better understand genetic...
There is currently great interest in using genetic risk estimates for common disease personalized healthcare. Here we assess melanoma risk-related preventive behavioral change the context of Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative (CPMC). As part on-going reporting activities within project, participants received a assessment including information related to their own self-reported family history and variant showing moderate effect size (1.7, 3.0 respectively heterozygous homozygous...
The direct‐to‐consumer genetic testing debate reached a fever pitch in November 2013 when the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) instructed 23andMe to discontinue marketing sale of their Personal Genome Service. In 2015, emerged with FDA approval market carrier test for Bloom syndrome only, plans release additional reports . dust has settled it is time ask: What have we learned, where do go from here?
The knowledge, attitudes, skills, and training of professionals regarding complicated grief influence their practice. We conducted 30 semi-structured interviews with psychiatrists, psychologists, counselor/psychotherapists; the preliminary findings were contextualized via three experts in research/practice. Findings suggest that did not substantially rely on research evidence, favoring instead personal professional knowledge. They expressed concern possible pathologization normal might arise...
Objective: The Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative (CPMC) research study is designed to evaluate the potential contributions of common genetic risk factors complex disease prevention, screening, and management. Here we have focused on impact personalized reports including non-genetic for coronary artery (CAD) heart health behaviors.Methods: We analyzed self-reported behavioral outcome data from 683 CPMC participants who received CAD including: risk, family history risks based smoking...
Following several years enrolling disease-specific and otherwise healthy cohorts into the Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative, a prospective study aimed at evaluating clinical utility of personal genomic information for common complex disease pharmacogenomics, Collaborative expanded to create military cohort, specifically, United States Air Force. Initial recruitment focused on Force Medical Service personnel later include all Active Duty members beneficiaries. Now in its 6th year,...
The methodological literature considers the challenges of integrating data from various sources. However, it is sparse on how such integration might be executed. unique contribution this article that, exploring mental health professionals’ attitude to complicated grief, combines existing analysis principles and methods present a stepwise framework that aims guide process. In three-phase exploratory sequential mixed study (systematic review, qualitative, quantitative research phases),...
Research has shown that complicated grief the potential to adversely affect bereaved individuals, and in this context, understanding how mental health professionals engage with it practice is of relevance. Gaining an professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, skills training relation could provide insights will inform their professional development. The aim study was consider engagement grief, as represented by self-reported training. used a three-phase mixed methods design (systematic review,...
Despite the proliferation of grief research, there is no consensus regarding naming that does not follow a typical trajectory. How concept such as has become complicated, named and understood will likely influence professionals’ engagement with it. Professionals (n = 185; 71.8% female; mean age 51.9 years; SD 8.9) defined complicated in free-text box, within survey. Statistically significant differences were found extended duration, being stuck, circumstances surrounding death. The views its...
Complicated grief is a debilitating condition that individuals may experience after losing loved one. General practitioners (GPs) are well positioned to provide patients with support for grief-related issues. Traditionally, Irish GPs play an important role in providing emotional regarding bereavement. However, have commonly reported not being aptly trained respond bereavement-related This study explores GPs' current knowledge of and practice complicated grief.A qualitative adopting...
