The detection of communicable disease clusters in genomic surveillance data typically involves the application rule-based signaling criteria, which can be arbitrary. In contrast, scan statistics that are used for spatiotemporal cluster flexibly calendar time, and pharmacovigilance along hierarchical tree structures based on diagnosis codes. New York City (NYC) Health Department staff applied tree-temporal prospectively to with a nomenclature COVID-19 salmonellosis cases were diagnosed among...

Medical leadership and management (MLM) skills are essential in preventing failings of healthcare; it is unknown how these attitudes can be developed during undergraduate medical education. This paper aims to quantify interest MLM recommends preferred methods teaching assessment at UK schools. Two questionnaires were developed, one sent all school faculties, assess executed planned curriculum changes, the other students nationally their preferences for assessment. Forty-eight percent schools...
The use of real-world data to generate evidence requires careful assessment and validation critical variables before drawing clinical conclusions. Prospective trial suggest that anatomic origin colon cancer impacts prognosis treatment effectiveness. As an initial step in validating this observation routine settings, we explored the feasibility accuracy obtaining information on tumor sidedness from electronic health records (EHR) billing codes. Nine thousand four hundred three patients with...
Our objective was to describe differences in telemedicine use among women with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) by race, age, and geographic region.This a retrospective cohort study of recurrent or de novo mBC treated US community practices that initiated new line therapy between March 2020 February 2021. Multivariable modified Poisson regression models were used calculate adjusted rate ratios (RR) robust 95% confidence intervals (CI) associated visits within 90 days initiation.Overall, 3412...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Applying nowcasting methods to partially accrued reportable disease data can help policymakers interpret recent epidemic trends and quickly identify remediate health inequities. During the 2022 mpox outbreak in New York City (NYC), we applied Nowcasting by Bayesian Smoothing (NobBS) estimate cases, citywide stratified race or ethnicity. However, real time, it was unclear if estimates were accurate. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> We evaluated accuracy of...
Abstract Genomic surveillance data are used to detect communicable disease clusters, typically by applying rule-based signaling criteria, which can be arbitrary. We applied the prospective tree-temporal scan statistic (TreeScan) genomic with a hierarchical nomenclature search for recent case increases at any granularity, from large phylogenetic branches small groups of indistinguishable isolates. Using COVID-19 and salmonellosis cases diagnosed among New York City (NYC) residents reported...
Applying nowcasting methods to partially accrued reportable disease data can help policymakers interpret recent epidemic trends despite lags and quickly identify remediate health inequities. During the 2022 mpox outbreak in New York City, we applied Nowcasting by Bayesian Smoothing (NobBS) estimate cases, citywide stratified race or ethnicity (Black African American, Hispanic Latino, White). However, real time, it was unclear if estimates were accurate. We evaluated accuracy of estimated...
568 Background: The anatomical side of the colon from which a tumor arises is prognostic. Real-world evidence (RWE) studies in cancer should include this information. Can International Classification Diseases (ICD) codes be reliably used to determine tumor, and, if so, when? Should electronic health records (EHR) reviewed supplement? Methods: Flatiron Health maintains an EHR-derived registry for metastatic patients (current N = 9403). A random sample 100 was included study. Data about site...
Renal ptosis, otherwise known as nephroptosis or "floating kidney," is a condition of abnormal descent the kidney, often asymptomatic with controversy over its clinical and therapeutic significance. The aberrant location renal collecting system activity associated this may serve diagnostic pitfall in PET/CT interpretation. We report case dynamic ptosis demonstrated on F-FDG PET/CT, identified right kidney migration from an ectopic attenuation correction CT images, obtained immediately after...
<h3>Aims</h3> The 'Fellows Unit' was set up at NHS England & Improvement during COVID-19's first wave, consisting of over 20 Clinical Leadership fellows (doctors, dentists and pharmacists) from the Faculty Medical Management. It aimed to become a novel, cohesive, productive team working on clinical operational policy in context high pace, crisis uncertainty. <h3>Methods</h3> Foundational workshops were held review progress, identify group's unique skill professional ethos, assess...
Autologous vein is preferable for use in lower limb arterial bypass rather than synthetic graft material. Suitable grafting often limited, particularly patients who have had previous cardiac or varicose veins surgery. This case report describes the of arteriovenous fistula formation to cultivate an arm a suitable diameter femorotibial bypassing. We describe patient whom we formed (AVF) The provided informed consent publish this report. A 70-year-old woman presented vascular outpatient clinic...
Abstract Introduction: There are racial/ethnic disparities in multiple myeloma (MM) treatment, including differences the use of novel agents, stem cell transplantation, and supportive therapies such as bone-modifying agents (BMAs). BMAs reduce frequency fractures skeletal-related pain, some evidence suggests that more recently approved (i.e., denosumab) confer greater progression-free survival benefits than older bisphosphonates). Here we describe initiation BMA uptake denosumab among newly...
