In several reports the authors have suggested occasional familial aggregation of syringomyelia and/or Chiari 1 malformation (CM1). Familial is one characteristic traits that an underlying genetic basis. The provide evidence for CM1 and (CM1/S) in a large series families, establishing there may be component to CM1/S at least subset families. observed no cases isolated their family studies, suggesting more accurately classified as with associated syringomyelia. These data, together...
Objective Medical record abstraction (MRA) is often cited as a significant source of error in research data, yet MRA methodology has rarely been the subject investigation. Lack common framework hindered application extant literature practice, and, until now, there were no evidence-based guidelines for ensuring data quality MRA. We aimed to identify factors affecting accuracy abstracted from medical records and generate assurance control Methods Candidate identified published reports Content...
Although there is a rise in the use of mobile health (mHealth) tools to support chronic disease management, evidence derived from theory-driven design lacking.The objective this study was determine impact an mHealth app that incorporated trigger messages. These messages took different forms following Fogg behavior model (FBM) and targeted self-efficacy, knowledge, self-care. We assess feasibility our modifying these behaviors pilot involving individuals with diabetes.The randomized unblinded...
Critical care environments are information-intensive where effective decisions predicated on successfully finding and using the 'right information at right time'. We characterize differences in processes strategies of seeking between residents, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs).
Peripartum Depression (PPD) affects approximately 10-15% of perinatal women in the U.S., with those low socioeconomic status (low-SES) more likely to develop symptoms. Multilevel treatment barriers including social stigma and not having appropriate access mental health resources have played a major role PPD-related disparities. Emerging advances digital technologies analytics provide opportunities identify address barriers, knowledge gaps, engagement issues. However, most market solutions...
Active Learning (AL) attempts to reduce annotation cost (ie, time) by selecting the most informative examples for annotation. Most approaches tacitly (and unrealistically) assume that annotating each sample is identical. This study introduces a cost-aware AL method, which simultaneously models both and informativeness of samples evaluates via simulation user studies.We designed novel, algorithm (Cost-CAUSE) clinical named entities; we first utilized lexical syntactic features estimate cost,...
Contact tracing is an essential public health tool for controlling epidemic disease outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital contact using real-time locations or proximity of individuals can be used to significantly speed up and scale tracing. In this article, we present our project, REACT, REAal-time Tracing risk monitoring via privacy-enhanced tracking users' symptoms. With privacy enhancement that allows users control refine precision with which their information will collected...
Neural tube defects are a common, complex disorder with genetic and environmental components to risk. We investigated the previously reported interaction between homozygosity for thermolabile variant at methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase heterozygosity 844ins68 allele cystathionine β‐synthase loci in cases lumbosacral myelomeningocele their parents. Using control frequencies from our sample pooled those published literature, we confirm marginally significant these two loci. This finding...
With the growth of gerontechnology, there is an increasing awareness importance accessibility and usability in product designs7. Here we consider degree to which those factors along with patient engagement are currently being provided by mobile health applications aimed towards older population. Specifically, used a hybrid checklist, that inclusive age related guidelines platform atributes HIMSS Patient Engagement Framework evaluate accessibility, usability, levels facilitated apps targeting...
Abstract Purpose The evaluation of the effectiveness simulation training in dentistry has previously been focused primarily on psychomotor hand skills. This study explored impact simulated patient (SP) encounters students’ self‐assessment competency their clinical and communication abilities with geriatric patients. Methods Students from 2 cohorts were recruited for this study. Cohort 1 (n = 30) participated standard curriculum no served as control group. 34) a SP experience, simulating...
Online health communities (OHCs) have emerged as prominent platforms for behavior modification, and the digitization of online peer interactions has afforded researchers with unique opportunities to model multilevel mechanisms that drive change. Existing studies, however, been limited by a lack methods allow capture conversational context socio-behavioral dynamics at scale, manifested in these digital platforms.
Abstract Objective High-risk pregnancy (HRP) conditions such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hypertension (HTN), and peripartum depression (PPD) affect maternal neonatal health. Patient engagement is critical for effective HRP management (HRPM). While digital technologies analytics hold promise, emerging research indicates limited suboptimal support offered by the highly prevalent solutions within commercial marketplace. In this article, we describe our efforts to develop a portfolio...
Health disparities cause significant strain on the wellbeing of individuals and society. In this study, we focus health present in condition Peripartum Depression (PPD), a public issue. While PPD can be managed through therapy medication, many women do not receive adequate treatment due to issues social stigma limited access healthcare resources. Digital technologies offer practical tools for management. However, current solutions integrate behavior theory are rarely responsive transient...
