Importance Racial disparities in lung cancer screening (LCS) are often ascribed to barriers such as cost, insurance status, access care, and transportation. Because these minimized within the Veterans Affairs system, there is a question of whether similar racial exist health care system North Carolina. Objectives To examine completing LCS after referral at Durham Health Care System (DVAHCS) and, if so, what factors associated with completion. Design, Setting, Participants This...
The Bern score is a quantitative scale characterizing brain MR imaging changes in spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Higher scores are associated with more abnormalities on imaging, raising the question of whether can serve as measure disease severity. However, relationship between clinical symptom severity and has not been evaluated. Our purpose was to assess correlations headache
Background Detection of hepatic metastases at CT is a daily task in radiology departments that influences medical and surgical treatment strategies for oncology patients. Purpose To compare simulated photon-counting (PCCT) with energy-integrating detector (EID) the detection small liver lesions. Materials Methods In this reader study (July to December 2023), virtual imaging framework was used 50 anthropomorphic phantoms 183 generated lesions (one six per phantom, 0.4-1.5 cm diameter)....
In the context of injectable biologic products approved or in development for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), it is important to capture which treatment attributes matter most patient and what trade-offs patients are willing make. The CHOICE-CSU study aimed quantify preferences toward among with CSU, inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines. This was a two-phase cross-sectional preference adult diagnosis A qualitative phase collected patients' insights relevant that mattered them,...
Fibrin glue is increasingly incorporated as a component in epidural blood patching (EBP) for the treatment of spinal CSF leaks. Hypersensitivity reactions are potential complication its use but not well studied setting EBP. The purpose this study was to determine incidence hypersensitivity fibrin during EBP and identify any predisposing factors associated with increased patient risk. A single-center retrospective cohort nested case-control design included patients who received iatrogenic...
Respiratory viruses can impact the allograft function in lung transplant recipients, but it is unknown if this occurs with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We studied long-term outcomes of recipients infected SARS-CoV-2. This single-center retrospective study compared between June 2020 and April 2021 a matched control group. Within cohort, univariable associations clinical factors were tested. Changes pulmonary tests analyzed. Primary endpoints included acute cellular rejection all-cause mortality...
Deep learning is a class of machine algorithms that are popular for building risk prediction models. When observations censored, the outcomes only partially observed and standard deep cannot be directly applied. We develop new potentially censored. To account censoring, unobservable loss function used in absence censoring replaced by unbiased transformation. The resulting can to estimate both survival probabilities restricted mean survival. show how implemented adapting software uncensored...
Familial involvement in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) reduces parental stress and strengthens parental-infant bonding. However, parents often face barriers to in-person visitation. The coronavirus disease-2019 COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated limitations bedside presence.To design, implement, evaluate a technology-based program connect NICU babies with their families during pandemic.We created NeoConnect at our level IV NICU, which included audio recordings video chats between...
Glacial acetic acid is a dangerous chemical that has been associated with several adverse drug events involving patients over recent years. When diluted to the proper concentration, solutions have variety of medicinal uses. Unfortunately, despite warnings, improper dilution concentrated glacial resulted in severe burns and other related morbidities. We report on 2 additional case reports as well review literature. A summary published provided, including intended actual concentration...
Abstract There is widespread interest in using deep learning to build prediction models for medical imaging data. These methods capture the local structure of image and require no manual feature extraction. Despite importance modeling survival context data analysis, research on relationship time-to-event still under-developed. We provide an overview outcomes compare several Cox model based through analysis a histology dataset gliomas.
Background: Thyroid nodules are challenging to accurately characterize on ultrasound (US), though the emergence of risk stratification systems and more recently artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms has improved nodule classification. The purpose this study was evaluate performance a recent Food Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared AI tool for detection malignancy in thyroid US.
Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenous signaling molecule that activates cytoprotective programs implicated in the resolution of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and survival critical illness. Because CO levels can be measured blood as carboxyhemoglobin, we hypothesized carboxyhemoglobin percent (COHb%) may associate with mortality. OBJECTIVES: To examine relationship between COHb% outcomes patients ARDS requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a...
Abstract We performed a meta-analysis of the cancer detection rates from 24 published reports in dense breasts for all contemporary and FDA-approved imaging modalities (DM, DBT, U/S, CEM, MBI, MRI) available supplemental breast screening. This information is critical to 40% women with BIRADS categorized (C,D) receiving In paper an analysis net lives saved using benefit-to-risk comparison ionizing DBT MBI) also presented safety each technique described. Note that it well accepted carcinogenic...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Early opacification of the renal collecting system during CT myelography (CTM) performed for evaluation Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) has been demonstrated in prior studies. However, these investigations often included CTMs scanned >30 minutes after intrathecal contrast injection, a longer delay than myelographic techniques used current practice. The purpose this study was to determine whether excretion (RCE) measured earlier...
