Importance Clinical text reports from head computed tomography (CT) represent rich, incompletely utilized information regarding acute brain injuries and neurologic outcomes. CT are unstructured; thus, extracting at scale requires automated natural language processing (NLP). However, designing new NLP algorithms for each individual injury category is an unwieldy proposition. An tool that summarizes all in would facilitate exploration of large data sets clinical significance neuroradiological...
Background: Traditional evaluation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can be costly, time consuming, and impractical for widespread screening. DETECT is a portable device developed to rapidly perform testing in diverse settings. This study compares with formal clinical assessment.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional comparison the versus an expert neuropsychologist’s assessment (NPA). total 405 participants ≥65 years old, recruited from geriatric clinics retirement facilities, completed...
Precision medicine can significantly improve outcomes for patients with cancer, but implementation requires comprehensive characterization of tumor cells to identify therapeutically exploitable vulnerabilities. Here, we describe somatic biallelic TET2 mutations in an elderly patient acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that was chemoresistant anthracycline and cytarabine acutely sensitive 5'-azacitidine (5'-Aza) hypomethylating monotherapy, resulting long-term morphological remission. Given the role...
While overall opioid prescribing has been decreasing in the United States, rates of at county level have variable. Previous studies show that social determinants health (the and economic conditions which we live) may play a role prescribing; however, researchers not examined this relationship across US counties. This cross-sectional study seeks to determine whether county-level sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., economic, housing, environment, healthcare population characteristics) are...
Microcredit has shown mixed results when used to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV). This study explored microcredit and IPV in Bangladesh by conducting 12 focus groups with married men women. Participants described challenges participation highlighting “missed opportunities” for reducing IPV, including needs (a) prevent sparked loan disputes, (b) incorporate skill development improve women’s agency as a means of (c) mindfully engage the process help address men’s unequal gender...
Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Prevention States (PfS) program funded 29 state health departments to prevent opioid overdose by implementing evidence-based prevention strategies. objectives of this analysis were describe the scope activities implemented across four PfS strategies identify implementation challenges. Methods: recipients submitted annual progress reports (APRs) support staff at CDC from 2015 2017. APR data used calculate number required optional...
Objective To address the opioid overdose epidemic, it is important to understand broad scope of efforts under way in states, particularly states which rate opioid-involved deaths declining. The primary objective this study was examine core elements prevention activities 4 with a high that experienced decrease from 2016 2017. Methods We identified 5 experiencing decreases age-adjusted mortality rates for overdoses 2017 and examined their programs via program narratives developed collaborators...
