Health care organizations face pressures from patients to improve the quality of and clinical outcomes, as well managed do so more efficiently. Coordination, management task interdependencies, is one way that health have attempted meet these conflicting demands.The objectives this study were introduce concept relational coordination determine its impact on care, postoperative pain functioning, length stay for undergoing an elective surgical procedure. Relational comprises frequent, timely,...
Neurophenomenological studies seek to utilize first-person self-report elucidate cognitive processes related physiological data. Grounded theory offers an approach the qualitative analysis of self-report, whereby theoretical constructs are derived from empirical Here we used grounded methodology assess how experience meditation relates neural activity in a core region default mode network –the posterior cingulate cortex. We analyzed data consisting meditators' accounts their subjective...
Objectives While almost 60% of the world has received at least one dose COVID-19 vaccine, global distribution vaccination not been equitable. Only 4% population low-income countries (LICs) a full primary vaccine series, compared with over 70% high-income nations. Design We used economic and epidemiological models, parameterised public data on deaths, to estimate potential benefits scaling up programmes in LICs lower-middle-income (LMICs) 2022 context spread Omicron variant SARS-CoV2. Setting...
Importance Transportation barriers have long been associated with poorer health outcomes; this burden is especially acute for individuals opioid use disorder (OUD), a chronic disease often low socioeconomic status. Conventional travel time analyses may not fully account experiential components of travel, thereby understating the true and overstating treatment accessibility to programs (OTPs). Objective To develop metric feels-like those using public transit access OTPs that accounts...
Abstract Background Since 2014, multiple outbreaks of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among people who inject drugs have occurred across the United States along with hepatitis C (HCV), skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), infective endocarditis (IE), creating a converging public health crisis. Methods We analyzed temporal patterns infectious disease overdose using hierarchical Bayesian distributed lag logistic regression model examining probability that given geographic area...
There are a wide variety of infectious complications injection drug use. Understanding the trajectory these might inform development an early warning system for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) outbreaks that occur regularly among people who inject drugs (PWID). A distributed lag Poisson regression model in Bayesian setting was used to examine temporal patterns incidence injection-associated diseases and their association with HIV cases Lawrence Lowell, Massachusetts between 2005 2018....
We reviewed the radiographs and medical records of 76 patients with 98 nonconstrained total shoulder prostheses: 68 were inserted for rheumatoid arthritis, 25 osteoarthritis, five avascular necrosis. The radiographic follow-up averaged 36 months. Radiographic evidence postoperative complications was noted in 37 (38%) shoulders: dislocation humeral head (six), upward migration humerus (24), loosening glenoid compartment (15), component (five), subsidence (seven), heterotopic bone formation...
Abstract Initial projections from the first generation of COVID-19 models focused public attention on worst-case scenarios in absence decisive policy action. These underscored imperative for strong and immediate measures to slow spread infection. In coming weeks, however, as policymakers continue enlisting inform decisions COVID-19, answers most difficult pressing questions will be much more sensitive underlying uncertainties. this study, we demonstrate a model-based approach assessing...
Introduction In this study we developed the Disability Beliefs Scale to assess Veterans' beliefs that engaging in treatment, as well other behaviors, would affect likelihood of a Veteran's being awarded disability-related benefits. We posited Veterans with stronger attending mental health treatment facilitate service-connection award be more likely attend PTSD before their compensation and pension examinations for PTSD. Methods Electronic records 307 post-9/11-era applying service-connected...
We describe the rationale and study design for "TRUsted rEsidents Housing Assistance to decrease Violence Exposure in New Haven (TRUE HAVEN)," a prospective type 1 hybrid effectiveness/implementation of multi-level intervention using stepped wedge design. TRUE HAVEN aims lower rates community gun violence by fostering stability, wealth, well-being individuals families directly impacted incarceration through provision stable housing breaking cycle trauma.
Even as vaccination for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) expands in the United States, cases will linger among unvaccinated individuals at least next year, allowing spread of to continue communities across country. Detecting these infections, particularly asymptomatic ones, is critical stemming further transmission virus months ahead. This require active surveillance efforts which undetected are proactively sought out rather than waiting present testing sites...
Abstract Mobile testing services provide opportunities for active surveillance of infectious diseases hard-to-reach and/or high-risk individuals who do not know their disease status. Identifying as many infected possible is important mitigating transmission. Recently, multi-armed bandit sampling approaches have been adapted and applied in this setting to maximize the cumulative number positive tests collected over time. However, these algorithms considered possibility variability...
Recent advances in brain imaging have improved the measure of neural processes related to perceptual, cognitive and affective functions, yet relation between activity subjective experience remains poorly characterized. In part, it is a challenge obtain reliable accounts participant’s such studies. Here we addressed this limitation by utilizing experienced meditators who are expert introspection. We tested novel method link objective data, using real-time fMRI (rt-fMRI) provide participants...
Background The Flexible Adaptive Algorithmic Surveillance Testing (FAAST) program represents an innovative approach for improving the detection of new cases infectious disease; it is deployed here to screen and diagnose SARS-CoV-2. With advent treatment COVID-19, finding individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 urgent clinical public health priority. While these kinds Bayesian search algorithms are used widely in other settings (eg, find downed aircraft, submarine recovery, aid oil exploration),...
