Outcomes of Gender Affirming Voice Training: A Comparison of Hybrid and Individual Training Modules.

Purpose: Gender affirming voice training supports individuals as they explore and develop a healthy voice that feels congruent with their gender and sense of self.

Prospective pilot study of Floseal® for the treatment of anterior epistaxis in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).

Background: Epistaxis is the most common symptom of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), affecting more than 98% of adults with HHT, with significant impact on quality of life. Floseal® has been shown to be effective for the management of anterior epistaxis, but has yet to be thoroughly evaluated in this population. Our goal was to evaluate the efficacy of Floseal® for managing acute anterior epistaxis in patients with HHT.

Community-based screening for cardiovascular risk using a novel mHealth tool in rural Kenya.

Background: An increasing burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in low-resource settings demands innovative public health approaches.

Objectives: To design and test a novel mHealth tool for use by community health workers (CHWs) to identify individuals at high CVD risk who would benefit from education and/or pharmacologic interventions.

Methods: We designed and implemented a novel two-way mobile phone application, "AFYACHAT," to rapidly screen for CVD risk in rural Kenya.
