Article Synopsis
- Patients with language barriers face healthcare disparities that can be improved by effectively using interpreters for better communication, especially for those needing complex care.
- A clinical trial will be conducted at Mayo Clinic involving 35 hospital units over a year to evaluate the effectiveness of an AI-driven system that identifies patients needing interpreter services and notifies nursing staff accordingly.
- The study aims to streamline the request process for interpreters, enhancing patient care by addressing language and communication challenges systematically through predictive algorithms.
Inhibitory modulation of glutamatergic information processing is a prerequisite for proper network function. Among the many groups of interneurons (INs), somatostatin-expressing interneurons (SOM-INs) play an important role in the maintenance of physiological brain activity. We have previously shown that somatostatin (SOM) causes a reduction in pyramidal cell (PC) excitability.

Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs (IPRPs) have been shown to lead to statistically and clinically significant improvements for patients who report both depressed mood and chronic pain, however there is a gap in the literature regarding the mechanisms by which these improvements occur.
Methods: This two-site, distinct sample study (Study 1: N = 303, 10-week, individual format, ACT-based program; Study 2: N = 406, 3-week, group format, CBT-based program) evaluated mediators of treatment improvement in depressive symptoms among adult IPRP participants who reported elevated depressive symptoms at program admission and examined treatment mechanisms for depressive symptoms.
Introduction: Patient satisfaction is defined as the perception that one's general health care needs are being met. Prior research suggests that positive patient satisfaction with health care facilitates the physician-patient relationship and enhances quality of life.
Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to assess patient satisfaction (as measured by the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18)) of patients observed by general psychiatry residents and to examine the effects of depression and anxiety on patient satisfaction.
