Background Although almost every state medical marijuana (MM) law identifies cancer as a qualifying condition, little research supports MM's use in oncology. We hypothesized that the discrepancy between these laws and scientific evidence base poses clinical challenges for oncologists. Oncologists' beliefs, knowledge, practices regarding MM were examined this study. Methods In November 2016, we mailed survey on to nationally-representative, random sample of 400 Main outcome measures included...
Background and Purpose— Although the computed tomographic angiography spot sign performs well as a biomarker for hematoma expansion (HE), is not routinely performed in emergency setting. We developed validated score to predict HE-based on noncontrast tomography (NCCT) findings spontaneous acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods— After developing single-center cohort of patients with hemorrhage (n=344), we it large clinical trial population (n=954) multicenter (n=241). The following NCCT...
Evaluate the effect of a virtual coaching program offered to women surgery residents in surgical society.Randomized controlled experiments evaluating on trainee well-being and burnout is lacking.Women Association Women Surgeons were recruited participate randomized trial effects well-being. Attending surgeons served as coaches after completing in-person training. Residents (n=237) intervention (three 1:1 sessions over 9 mo) or control (e-mailed wellness resources). Participants surveyed at...
BackgroundTesting urine improves the number of tuberculosis diagnoses made among patients in hospital with HIV. In conjunction two-country randomised Rapid Urine-based Screening for Tuberculosis to Reduce AIDS-related Mortality Hospitalised Patients Africa (STAMP) trial, we used a microsimulation model estimate effects on clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness adding urine-based screening sputum hospitalised HIV.MethodsWe compared two strategies irrespective symptoms HIV Malawi South...
Objective: Almost 400 000 people with HIV (PWH) in the United States are over age 55 years and at risk for age-associated dementias (AAD), including Alzheimer's disease vascular contributions to cognitive impairment dementia (VCID). We projected cumulative incidence mortality associated AAD among PWH least 60 compared general population. Design/methods: Integrating CEPAC AgeD-Pol models, we simulated two cohorts of 60-year-old male female individuals: PWH, US estimated AAD-associated rates....
Background: As guidelines and payers increasingly recommend use of patient decision aids (DAs), evidence about the comparative effectiveness available DAs is critical for organizations interested in implementing them. The primary purpose this study was to compare 2 with regard their ability help patients become informed receive preferred treatment (that is, make an patient-centered decision), shared decision-making, surgical rates, surgeon satisfaction. Methods: We performed a multisite...
Value-based care within accountable organizations (ACOs) has magnified the importance of reducing preventable hospital readmissions. Community health worker (CHW) interventions may address patients' unmet psychosocial and clinical needs but have been underused in inpatient postdischarge care.To determine if pairing hospitalized patients with ACO insurance CHWs would reduce 30-day readmission rates.This randomized trial was conducted 6 general medicine units 1 academic medical center Boston,...
There has been a rapid increase in the presence of illicitly manufactured fentanyl heroin drug supply. Buprenorphine is an effective treatment for and prescription opioid use disorder; however, little known about outcomes among people using fentanyl. We compared 6-month retention abstinence initiating buprenorphine who had toxicology positive to at baseline.Retrospective cohort study 251 adult patients office-based available testing across academic health system between August 2016 July...
Abstract Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) is a promising strategy for curing spinal cord injury (SCI) but their therapeutic effect hindered by the uncontrolled and low‐efficiency neuronal differentiation. Electrical stimulation powerful tool promoting differentiation NSCs. However, implanted NSCs are in dynamically movable state vivo may detach from stimulating materials, resulting deactivation electrical stimulation. Therefore, it has been great challenge to electrically...
This cross-sectional survey study examines the factors associated with satisfaction at work in academic health care centers.
The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing year by year, which brings great challenges to human health. However, the pathogenesis AD still unclear, and it lacks early diagnostic targets. entorhinal cortex (EC) a key brain region for occurrence neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation plays significant role in EC degeneration AD. This study aimed reveal close relationship between inflammation-related genes detecting differentially expressed (DEGs) via gene function enrichment pathway...
Severe obesity is an important and distinct weight status classification that associated with disease risk increasing in prevalence among youth. The ability to graphically present population data, ranging from underweight through severe class 3, novel applicable epidemiologic research, intervention studies, case reports, clinical care. aim was create body mass index (BMI) graphing tools generate sex-specific BMI-for-age graphs include percentile curves. We used the Centers for Disease...
BACKGROUND Medicine subspecialty consultation is becoming increasingly important in inpatient medicine. OBJECTIVE We conducted a survey study which we examined hospitalist practices and attitudes regarding medicine consultation. DESIGN AND SETTING The instrument was developed by the authors based on prior literature administered online anonymously to hospitalists at 4 academic medical centers United States. MEASUREMENTS evaluated domains: (1) current practices, (2) preferences consultation,...
Cervical cancer screening delivery remains suboptimal. Understanding the multiple influences on use of is important to designing interventions. We describe influence patient, primary care provider (PCP), and clinic characteristics whether a woman up-to-date with cervical as December 2016. PCPs (n = 194) their female screen-eligible patients age 21-65 years 32,115) were included in this cross-sectional analysis from two networks linked contemporaneous PCP survey. Principal independent variables
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer centers rapidly adopted telehealth deliver care remotely. Telehealth will likely remain a model of for years come and may not only affect way oncologists their own patients but also physicians with whom they share patients.
