The Effect of a Non-Surgical Adhesive Bone Conduction Device on Temporal Processing Performance in Adults with Single Sided Deafness: A Pilot Study.

Background: There is a dearth of information on the effects of bone conductive devices on temporal processing in individuals with single-sided deafness (SSD). This study investigates the effect of an adhesive bone conductive device on temporal processing in adults with SSD.

Methods: A prospective cohort study of temporal processing in adults with SSD was undertaken.

Depth of Hydrogel Spacer Rectal Wall Infiltration Was Not Associated With Rectal Toxicity: Results From a Randomized Prospective Trial.

Purpose: Rectal spacers have gained popularity as a dose-sparing material for prostate cancer radiation therapy (RT). However, the procedure can be associated with unintended rectal wall infiltration (RWI) of the spacer gel. We therefore classified RWI severity as a function of depth and explored its association with rectal toxicity using a data set from prostate cancer patients treated with RT on a prospective randomized clinical trial (RCT).

Impact of a Text Messaging Intervention as an In-Between Support to Diabetes Group Visits in Federally Qualified Health Centers: Cluster Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: In the United States, 1 in 11 people receive primary care from a federally qualified health center (FQHC). Text messaging interventions (TMIs) are accessible ways to deliver health information, engage patients, and improve health outcomes in the health center setting.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the impact of a TMI implemented with a group visit (GV) intervention among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at FQHCs on patient-reported outcomes and clinical outcomes based on patient TMI engagement.

The Impact of Implementing Virtual Diabetes Group Visits on Staff and Provider Wellbeing, Job Satisfaction, and Burnout: A Mixed Methods Analysis.

Rationale: Few have assessed the impact of group visits (GVs), or shared medical appointments, on community health centre (CHC) staff and provider burnout, wellness, and job satisfaction.

Aims And Objectives: This study assesses the impact of diabetes GV implementation on staff and provider morale and burnout.

Methods: It is a pre-post study from a larger cluster randomised trial.
