A 17-year-old girl with a malignant ovarian teratoma had an elevated concentration of alpha fetoprotein detected in her serum by electroimmunodiffusion technique when first seen. Surgery and chemotherapy resulted regression all measurable disease decrease level which was not detectable the technique. radioimmunoassay demonstrated continuing even though there subsequent recurrence tumor. Thus, activity may always correlate well concentration.
Significant controversy surrounds the 2012 / 2014 decision announced by Trustees of American Board Radiology (ABR) in October 2007. According to ABR, only medical physicists who are graduates a Commission on Accreditation Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc. (CAMPEP) accredited academic or residency program will be admitted for examination years and 2013. Only CAMPEP beginning year 2014. An essential question facing radiation oncology physics community is an estimation supply demand...
This study set out to analyze questions about type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from patients and the public. The aim was better understand people's information needs by starting with what they do not know, discovered through their own questions, rather than we know T2DM subsequently finding ways communicate that people affected or at risk of disease. One hundred sixty-four were collected 120 attending outpatient clinics 300 100 members public Amazon Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing platform....
Objective: To analyze the factors associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) "remission" in non bariatric Medicare patients 65 years and older Research Design Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of a Advantage health plan was conducted using administrative data. An individual identified as T2DM if had: ≥ medical claims for coded 250.xx excluding 1 diabetes; or pharmacy related to T2DM; combined claims, 12 months. they had no more than months continuously. This is different from...
A Problem Oriented List of Charges (POLC) can be used to obtain information about the cost treatment a single medical problem in patients with several coexisting problems. To prepare POLC, each charge item is associated one patient's POLCs were compiled from Medical Records (POMRs) Acute Non-Lymphocytic Leukemic (ANLL). From at was apparent that granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia their sequelae most costly problems ANLL. The projected for all 11.5 months (the median survival ANLL treated...
To evaluate the association of statins and co-morbidities with new onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients 65 years older.This retrospective study used de-identified administrative healthcare claims enrolment data from a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) health plan offered by large multistate company. The covered >2.4 million individuals, whom >1.7 individuals were ≥65 years. Of these, 265 554 had continuous MAPD January 2008 to December 2015. unadjusted model assessed...
Nonoptimized medication therapies (NOMTs) are associated with likely avoidable illnesses and mortality affecting millions of people costing an estimated $528 billion per year in excess health spending the United States. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought into focus barriers limiting ability U.S. pharmacists pharmacies to provide services that can reduce NOMTs improve population health.
While the information infrastructure to support public health and research has been dramatically improving, comprehensive, nation-wide, longitudinal, person-centered generally nonexistent. Yet, having such for large populations is essential research. The coupling of internet access, standards emerging electronic records beginning provide an enabling population-wide capture transfer. However, component that still missing effective exchange (HIE) specific research-supporting functionality at...
There is a crisis in scholarly publishing. The value of the information frequently much less than cost providing that information. Consequently, libraries are suffering and scholars do not have access to they need. However, certain for-profit publishers scientific societies benefiting substantially from current system. Internet has demonstrated potential change this structure. Budapest, Berlin Bethesda initiatives show there significant worldwide interest replace controlled system with one...
The objective of this study was to analyze factors associated with oral health-related quality life (OHRQoL) between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nondiabetic US adults.The sample included 2945 participants (aged ≥20) selected from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004 that represented 130,689,262 million persons in a probability weighted sample. Oral health outcomes were measured by the NHANES version Impact Profile (OHIP) for OHRQoL summarized as additive...
When patients cannot get answers from health professionals or retain the information given, increasingly they search online for answers, with limited success. Researchers United States, Ireland, and Kingdom explored this problem type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In 2014, attending an outpatient clinic (UK) were asked to submit questions about diabetes. Ten judged representative of different types patient concerns selected by researchers submitted engines within trusted vetted websites in...
Purpose: The additional equipment and personnel costs of supplying Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) technology have caused many to question if the marginal gains in patient health‐related quality life are worth cost. A novel IMRT technology, helical tomotherapy, provides opportunity study cost effectiveness for patients. Method Materials: This methodological proposes evaluate treating conventional radiotherapy versus tomotherapy patients prospectively, among several institutions....
Purpose: Significant controversy surrounds the 2012 / 2014 decision announced by Trustees of American Board Radiology in October 2007. According to ABR, only medical physicists that are graduates a CAMPEP-accredited academic or residency program will be admitted for examination years and 2013. Only CAMPEP —accredited beginning year 2014. Method Materials: An essential question facing physics community is an estimation supply demand through 2020. To end, Supply/Demand model was created on...
