Adjustment for race is discouraged in lung-function testing, but the implications of adopting race-neutral equations have not been comprehensively quantified.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients who speak languages other than English face barriers to equitable healthcare delivery. Machine translation systems, including emerging large language models, have the potential expand access services, but their merits and limitations in clinical practice remain poorly defined. We aimed assess performance of Google Translate ChatGPT for multilingual pediatric discharge instructions. METHODS Twenty standardized instructions conditions were translated into...
Abstract Background Specialty societies, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America, strive to address gender and racial inequities in professional advancement. Microaggressions remain a persistent pervasive barrier these goals. Nonprofessional speaker introductions are manifestation race- gender-based microaggressions, which have not been previously assessed at IDWeek. We disparities IDWeek over 7-year period that included formal equity initiatives introduced 2016. Methods...
Within eukaryotic cells, translation is regulated independent of transcription, enabling nuanced, localized, and rapid responses to stimuli. Neurons respond transcriptionally translationally synaptic activity. Although transcriptional are documented in astrocytes, here we test whether astrocytes have programmed translational responses. We show that seizure activity rapidly changes the transcripts on astrocyte ribosomes, some predicted be downstream BDNF signaling. In acute slices, quantify...
This cross-sectional study examines data across 17 birthing hospitals before and after a policy change at Boston Medical Center in how reporting decisions are made cases of prenatal substance exposure.
Abstract Context The importance of addressing the social determinants health (SDOH) in medical education has been ubiquitously recognised. However, current pedagogical approaches are often limited by inadequate or ahistorical exploration fundamental causes inequity. Community ‐ engaged pedagogy and structural competency frameworks advocate for progressing from passive SDOH to directly discussing systemic aetiologies inequity through reciprocal partnership with marginalised communities....
This article draws on Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed to model how health professions education can advance equity. It first introduces 3 well-known frameworks that be meaningfully applied as critical pedagogy: structural competency
Objective: Robust disease and syndromic surveillance tools are underdeveloped in the United States, as evidenced by limitations heterogeneity sociodemographic data collection throughout COVID-19 pandemic. To monitor pandemic Minnesota, we developed a federated network March 2020 using electronic health record (EHR) from 8 multispecialty systems. Materials Methods: In this serial cross-sectional study, examined patients of all ages who received polymerase chain reaction test, had symptoms...
We used data from a statewide public health–health system collaboration to describe trends in COVID-19 vaccination rates by racial and ethnic groups among people experiencing homelessness or incarceration Minnesota. Vaccination completion the general population incarcerated state prisons were substantially higher than those jail incarceration.
WHAT PROB LEMS WERE ADDRE SS ED?Removed from classrooms and clinics amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, health professions students have answered call to fulfil alternative roles by rapidly mobilising address system community-identified needs in innovative ways. 1 Many institutions, including University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), formally recognised student adding service learning requirements adapted curricula.Although crisis has spurred an explosion student-led...
Abstract Combating disparities is a crucial goal of ongoing efforts to end the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. In multivariable analysis cohort in Midwestern United States, racial/ethnic HIV viral suppression were no longer robust after accounting for other sociodemographic factors. Neighborhood deprivation and low income independently inversely associated with suppression.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Geographic accessibility predicts pediatric preventive care utilization, including vaccine uptake. However, spatial inequities in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination rollout remain underexplored. We assessed of sites and analyzed predictors METHODS In this cross-sectional study COVID-19 vaccinations from US Vaccine Tracking System as July 29, 2022, we described by geocoding sites, measuring travel times each Census tract population center to nearest...
Introduction In 1999, researchers introduced a Black race coefficient of 1.21 to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on basis observation that participants who self-identified as had 21% higher measured GFR after controlling for age, sex, and serum creatinine than those did not self-identify Black. Use this mitigated underestimation bias among individuals overestimation non-Black in study population, but consider confounding from socioeconomic structural factors, problematic...
