Retrospective clinical trials of pulse oximeter accuracy report more frequent missed diagnoses hypoxemia in hospitalized Black patients than White patients, differences that may contribute to racial disparities health and care. studies have limitations including mistiming blood samples readings, inconsistent use functional versus fractional saturation, self-reported race used as a surrogate for skin color. Our objective was prospectively measure the contributions pigmentation, perfusion...
Fingertip pulse oximeters are widely available, inexpensive, and commonly used to make clinical decisions in many settings. Device performance is largely unregulated poorly characterised, especially people with dark skin pigmentation.
Approximately 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States, 16,000 San Francisco. Many HIV-positive individuals have difficulty maintaining follow-up clinic visits under normal circumstances, and this is complicated by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as many institutions transition to a telehealth-focused model of care maintain patient provider safety. However, it was unknown how telehealth would impact attendance perceptions about their care, particularly...
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic impact on sexually transmitted infections in countries practicing syndromic management remains unknown. We conducted cross-sectional surveys Fiji to assess increases and risk factors for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) pre- postpandemic. enrolled women, men who have sex only with women (MSW), (MSM) aged 18-40 years, collected sociodemographic/behavioral data, tested vaginal, urethral, rectal samples using Xpert-CT/NG. Risk were...
Some pulse oximeters perform worse in people with darker skin, and this may be due to inadequate diversity of skin pigment device development study cohorts. Guidance is needed accurately equitably characterize ensure research We tested multiple methods for characterizing assess comparability impact on cohort diversity.

Background: Tinea capitis is caused by dermatophyte fungi that utilize keratin as a nutrient source. Scalp erythema, scaling, andcrusting are typical signs of this disease. Although most commonly seen in prepubescent children, tinea can occur adults.Results: Endothrix owing to Trichophyton tonsurans produces generalized scaling and localized perifollicular inflammation reminiscent lichen planopilaris. Ectothrix Microsporum sp. well- demarcated erythematous plaques suggestive psoriasis....
Abstract Importance Retrospective clinical trials of pulse oximeter accuracy report more frequent missed diagnoses hypoxemia in hospitalized Black patients than White patients, differences that may contribute to racial disparities health and care. studies have limitations including mistiming blood samples readings, inconsistent use functional versus fractional saturation, self-reported race used as a surrogate for skin color. Understanding the cause biased readings by oximetry with darkly...
Background: Fingertip pulse oximeters are widely available, inexpensive, and commonly used to make clinical decisions in many settings. Device performance is largely unregulated poorly characterized, especially people with dark skin pigmentation. Methods: Eleven popular fingertip were evaluated using the US Food Drug Administration Guidance (2013) International Organization for Standardization Standards (2017) 34 healthy humans diverse pigmentation SaO2 plateaus between 70% 100%.

Abstract The OpenOximetry Repository is a structured database storing clinical and lab pulse oximetry data, serving as centralized repository data model for initiatives. It supports measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) by blood gas co-oximetry (SpO2), alongside processed unprocessed photoplethysmography (PPG) other metadata. This includes skin color measurements, finger diameter, vital signs (e.g., pressure, end-tidal carbon dioxide), parameters acid-base balance, hemoglobin...
Abstract Background: Early clinical experiences expose students to patient-centered care. However, early incorporation of telehealth communication skills remains limited in health professions education. In this study, we aimed design and evaluate a telephone-based learning program for promote the development while addressing healthcare disparities experienced by older adults during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We utilized workplace principles designing pilot at an academic geriatrics primary...
