Abstract: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease with significant morbidity and mortality. There are many psychosocial financial implications of this disease; however, little known how affects the treatment PAH patients. A questionnaire-based prospective cohort study was performed on 106 patients from Hypertension Center Association national conference in 2018. The demographic, treatment, psychosocial, employment, impact data obtained. majority had cardiopulmonary...
Background A detailed understanding of electronic health record (EHR) workflow patterns and information use is necessary to inform user-centered design critical care systems. While developing a longitudinal medical visualization tool facilitate chart review (ECR) for intensive unit (MICU) clinicians, we found inadequate research on clinician–EHR interactions. Objective We systematically studied EHR among MICU clinicians determine the optimal selection display core data revised interface....
Artificial Intelligent Virtual Assistants (AIVA) is a segment of artificial intelligence that rapidly developing. However, its utilization to address patients' frequently asked questions remains unexplored.We developed an AIVA answer related 10 frequent topics by plastic surgery patients in our institution. Between July 27, 2018, and August we recruited subjects with administrative positions at health care institution chat the virtual assistant. They asked, their own words, 1 question for...
Background and objectives: Loeys–Dietz syndrome 3, also known as aneurysms-–osteoarthritis syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic connective tissue disease caused by pathogenic variants in SMAD3, a transcription factor involved TGF-β signaling. This disorder characterized early-onset osteoarthritis arterial aneurysms. Common features include scoliosis, uvula abnormalities, striae, velvety skin. Materials Methods: The pathogenicity of variant uncertain significance the SMAD3 gene was...
Abstract Primary care physicians (PCPs) are commonly approached with concerns involving patient genetics. This is a challenge because most PCPs lack expertise in genetic testing compared to their counselor counterparts. Currently, the recommended best practice refer patients for based on cancer‐related family history questionnaires counseling referral discuss results and any implications. However, extent which using these this purpose remains poorly understood. In cross‐sectional study, were...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to use ultrasonography measure femoral articular cartilage thickness changes during marathon running, which could support MRI studies showing that deformation knee long-distance running is no greater than for other weight-bearing activities. Materials and methods: Participants included 38 runners with pain or history injury, aged 18-39. Ultrasound images the were taken two hours before immediately after race. Femoral measured at both medial lateral...
The ATP-binding cassette, subfamily D, member 1 (ABCD1) protein is a peroxisomal half-transporter that allows for very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) degradation. Pathogenic variants of ABCD1 cause VLCFAs to build up in various tissues and bodily fluids, resulting disorder called X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). This most commonly marked by adrenocortical insufficiency high VLCFA concentration, has varying levels neurological involvement depending on phenotype. For example, the...

We present a 43-year-old man with aortic root dilation, mitral valve prolapse, and marfanoid appearance, who presented acute onset left leg pain. He underwent Doppler ultrasound that revealed popliteal artery aneurysm thrombus. CT angiogram showed bilateral aneurysms. After repairing of his aneurysm, he was sent for genetic evaluation. diagnosed Marfan syndrome (MFS) based on the revised Ghent criteria then FBN1 sequencing deletion/duplication analysis, which detected novel pathogenic...
We describe the phenotype of a patient with extensive aortic, carotid, and abdominal dissections. The proband was found to have heterozygous deletion exons 21-34 in MYLK, which is rare finding, as deletions this gene been infrequently reported. finding following detection an history Neoteric molecular modeling techniques help determine impact on protein function indicated loss due lack any kinase domain. also provide electrostatics calculations from wild type mutant variant. Through combined...
(2020). Genomics combined with a protein informatics platform to assess novel pathogenic variant c.1024 A>G (p.K342E) in OPA1 patient autosomal dominant optic atrophy. Ophthalmic Genetics: Vol. 41, No. 6, pp. 563-569.
Abstract Background Bacteremia due to Staphylococcus aureus is a known complication of liver transplantation (LT). Studies have shown that LT recipients are more predisposed S. infections than other solid-organ transplant patients; however, these studies been limited in scope and mostly based out single centers. Methods This retrospective cohort study using 2012–2016 NIS, the largest public inpatient database United States. All patients with ICD9-10CM procedural codes for were included. The...
PURPOSE: Virtual Assistants (VA) is a segment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that rapidly developing. However, its utilization to address patients’ frequently asked questions (FAQs) preoperatively remains unexplored. We hypothesize VA could preoperative FAQs related plastic surgery procedures. developed and assessed accuracy participants’ opinion regarding the answers technology. METHODS: Using IBM Watson Assistant Platform, we answer 10 topics FAQs. Between July August 2018, recruited...
Abstract Background Coronary artery disease is the most important cause of death in industrialized countries. Diabetes mellitus one modifiable risk factors coronary disease. It increases by 2 to 4-fold. Interestingly, this increased not confined patients with DM, but non-diabetic impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) also may have an incidence cardiovascular complications. Moreover, admission levels be related a higher mortality rates acute myocardial infarction (AMI), regardless diabetic status....
