The COVID-19 pandemic has driven a greater reliance on telemedicine, yet rural access, use, and satisfaction with telemedicine the role of eHealth literacy are unknown. Using cross-sectional design, 279 (70.6% female) western Canadians completed an online survey. majority participants reported access to but nearly 1/5 lacked or virtual mental health services. had used care services following declared in North America, just under half telemedicine. Telemedicine scores were higher among who...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how the quality big data marketing analytics (BDMA) impact satisfaction, perceived value for money and intentions reinvest as by managers, i.e. users BD. Design/methodology/approach Survey was collected with help a research company – mainly among Canadian US professionals experience in BDMA deployment ( N = 236). structural model analyzed partial least squares equation modeling. Findings indicate that technology has significant positive on but...
Abstract Background Rural and remote communities faced unique access challenges to essential services such as healthcare highspeed infrastructure pre-COVID, which have been amplified by the pandemic. This study examined patterns of COVID-related use technology among rural-living individuals during first wave COVID-19 Methods A sample 279 rural residents completed an online survey about impact role use. Latent class analysis was used generate subgroups reflecting challenges. Differences in...
Abstract BACKGROUND The proliferation marker MIB‐1, which recognizes the Ki‐67 antigen, provides independent prognostic information in several tumor types. Its utility melanoma has been evaluated mostly studies of thick primary tumors. usefulness thinner lesions not assessed adequately. METHODS A well characterized cohort 137 patients diagnosed with cutaneous at New York University School Medicine between 1972 and 1982 was studied based on availability representative tissues adequate...
The standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer is total neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection. Current evidence suggests that selected patients may be able to delay or avoid surgery without affecting survival rates if they achieve a complete clinical response (CCR). However, older who are too frail decline the procedure, local recurrence lead deterioration patient quality life. Thus, clinicians, treatment algorithm which well tolerated and improve CCR in with potential...
Pre-existing anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allo-antibodies constitute a major barrier to transplantation. Current desensitization approaches fail due ineffective depletion of allo-specific memory B cells (Bmems) and long-lived plasma (LLPCs). We evaluate the efficacy chimeric receptor (CAR) T targeting CD19 cell maturation (BCMA) eliminate in skin pre-sensitized murine model islet allo-transplantation. find that treatment allo-sensitized hosts with CAR Bmems LLPCs eliminates...
While health systems have implemented multifaceted interventions to improve physician and patient communication in serious illnesses such as cancer, clinicians vary their response these initiatives. In this secondary analysis of a randomized trial, we identified phenotypes oncology based on practice pattern demographic data, then evaluated associations between machine learning (ML)-based intervention prompt earlier advance care planning (ACP) for patients with cancer.Between June November...
Lymph node (LN) involvement predicts recurrence in patients who have undergone resection of apparently localized nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Standard detection methods for LN disease a low sensitivity, and many with apparent N0 status develop recurrent disease. Molecular techniques can improve the micrometastases, whereas sentinel lymph (SLN) mapping indicate which may contain micrometastases. These methods, although potentially complementary, not, to authors' knowledge, been used...
Limited data suggest that ex-situ normothermic liver perfusion (ENLP) may improve the outcomes of donation after circulatory death (DCD) transplants compared to static cold storage (SCS). All adult DCD performed between 2016 and 2021 were identified in United Network Organ Sharing database. ENLP SCS using inverse probability treatment weighting balance clinical demographic confounders. The primary analysis simulated intention-to-treat with weighting-adjusted Cox models. Compared DCDs (N =...
Abstract Background Despite the widespread implementation of telemedicine, there are limited data regarding its impact on key components care for patients with incurable or high‐risk cancer. For these patients, high‐quality requires detailed conversations treatment priorities (advance planning) and clinical to minimize unnecessary acute (unplanned hospitalizations). Whether telemedicine affects outcomes relative in‐person clinic visits was examined among cancer at high risk 6‐month...
Antibiotics are known to induce gut dysbiosis and increase the risk of antibiotic resistance. While exposure is a factor leading compromised colonization resistance against enteric pathogens such as Clostridioides difficile, extent consequences perturbation on human microbiome remain poorly understood. Human studies impacts antibiotics complicated by tremendous variability among individuals, even between identical twins. Furthermore, challenge experiments cannot be replicated in subjects for...
Serious Illness Conversations (SICs) are structured conversations between clinicians and patients about prognosis, treatment goals, end-of-life preferences. Although behavioral interventions may prompt earlier or more frequent SICs, their impact on the quality of SICs is unclear.
Objectives Penile urethral stricture disease not associated with hypospadias is rare, and there a wide range of commonly used surgical repair techniques for this disease. We sought to compile multi‐institutional database patients who had correction strictures in the penile urethra limited meatus, no history hypospadias, analysis using Trauma Urologic Reconstructive Network Surgeons length, segment etiology classification system. Methods A retrospective from 13 institutions was compiled...
We examined how patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) support patients' adherence to fall prevention recommendations in a novel primary care setting - the Falls Prevention Clinic.Using patient-oriented qualitative study design, we recruited patient partners our team assist developing focus group prompts. A trained facilitator conducted five semi-structured interviews with total of 21 Clinic participants. prompted participants about: their views on EuroQol 5 domain level (EQ-5D-5L) PROM,...
The standard of care for non-metastatic renal cancer is surgical resection followed by adjuvant therapy those at high risk recurrences. However, older patients, surgery may not be an option due to the complications which result in death. In past was considered radio-resistant, and required a higher dose radiation leading excessive secondary damage normal organs surrounding cancer. Advances radiotherapy technique such as stereotactic body (SBRT) has led delivery tumoricidal with minimal...
Transplant centers have traditionally relied upon procurement teams from their own programs (transplant program team [TPT]) to recover donation after circulatory death (DCD) livers and rarely use surgical not affiliated with the recipient center (nontransplant [NTPT]). However, in era of wider geographic organ sharing, greater reliance on NTPTs is often necessary.
