Introduction: Overcrowding in emergency departments (ED) is a major public health issue, leading to increased workload and exhaustion for the teams, resulting poor outcomes. It seems interesting to be able to predict the admissions of patients in the ED.
Aim: The main objective of this study was to build and test a prediction tool for ED admissions using artificial intelligence.
Article Synopsis
- Cancer-treatment toxicity is common, and quick identification of symptoms is vital; to improve symptom reporting, a mobile ePROM app called QuestOnco was developed for real-time monitoring and reporting of cancer-treatment symptoms.
- The application was designed with patient comprehension in mind and was validated through a cohort study that included 24 cancer patients in Stage I, who had no comprehension issues, and 110 patients in Stage II who used QuestOnco alongside traditional reporting methods.
- Results showed high engagement with QuestOnco, indicating its potential for enhancing real-time symptom reporting and improving alignment with other reporting tools like PRO-CTCAE and medical records.
Background: Loneliness and isolation impact health detrimentally but are understudied in Parkinson's disease (PD). Outcome measurement properties for social connection remain unexplored in PD.
Objective: To evaluate the measurement properties of six social connection outcomes in PD.
Article Synopsis
- Biofilm formation enhances the survival of bacteria on surfaces, making them resistant to disinfectants, antibiotics, and immune responses, which can lead to serious issues in the dairy industry.
- Common biofilm-forming bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes can harm livestock and compromise milk quality, contributing to significant economic losses.
- Researchers are exploring new natural biocide strategies to combat biofilms, potentially reducing dependence on antibiotics and chemical disinfectants in dairy farming and processing.
Purpose: Intravitreal injections with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs can slow progression in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and/or central retinal thickness (CRT) are common barometers of efficacy of this treatment. However, BSCVA does not accurately measure reading ability, which is often severely impacted by nAMD.
