Article Synopsis
- - This study aims to determine the safe planning margins (PRV) for protecting optic nerves during CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) due to potential motion of the nerves during treatment.
- - MRI scans of healthy volunteers were used to assess optic nerve motion in various directions, leading to the calculation of two different PRV margins: a non-isotropic margin of 3mm in the left/right direction and an isotropic margin of 1mm when patients maintain a neutral gaze.
- - The findings suggest that incorporating these PRV margins in CyberKnife treatment plans is crucial to minimize risks to the optic nerves, particularly in patients with perioptic lesions like sphenoid wing meningiomas.
Objective: To conduct a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of an ADHD question prompt list with video intervention to increase youth question-asking and provider education about ADHD during visits.
Methods: English-speaking youth ages 11-17 with ADHD and their caregivers were enrolled from two pediatric clinics. Youth were randomized to intervention or usual care groups.
Background/objectives: Little is known about African American patient-provider communication about glaucoma-related quality-of-life. The objectives of this study were to: (a) examine associations between patient socio-demographics and vision quality-of-life, (b) describe the extent to which eye care providers and patients discuss glaucoma-related quality-of-life, and (c) examine associations between patient and provider characteristics, whether the patient was in the intervention or usual care group, and whether the patient and provider discuss one or more glaucoma-related quality-of-life domains.
Methods: Adult African American patients with glaucoma who reported non-adherence to glaucoma medications were enrolled from three sites.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe what questions patients checked on a glaucoma question prompt list and how often patients asked the same checked questions during medical visits.
Design: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a pre-visit video/glaucoma question prompt list intervention to increase African American patient question-asking during medical visits.
Methods: Adult African American patients with glaucoma and a history of non-adherence to glaucoma medications were enrolled and randomized into intervention and usual care groups from three glaucoma practices.
