Role of Community-Clinical Partnerships to Promote Cancer Screening: Lessons Learned From the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.

Community-clinical partnerships are an effective approach to connecting primary care with public health to increase disease prevention and screenings and reduce health inequities. We explore how the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) award recipients and clinic teams are using community-clinical linkages to deliver services to populations who are without access to health care and identify barriers, facilitators, and lessons that can be used to improve program implementation. We used purposive sampling to select nine state recipients of the NBCCEDP and a clinic partner for each recipient.

CNV-Profile Regression: A New Approach for Copy Number Variant Association Analysis in Whole Genome Sequencing Data.

Copy number variants (CNVs) are DNA gains or losses involving >50 base pairs. Assessing CNV effects on disease risk requires consideration of several factors. First, there are no natural definitions for CNV loci.

NIAGADS: A Comprehensive National Data Repository for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia Genetics and Genomics Research.

NIAGADS is the National Institute on Aging (NIA) designated national data repository for human genetics research on Alzheimer's Disease and related dementia (ADRD). NIAGADS maintains a high-quality data collection for ADRD genetic/genomic research and supports genetics data production and analysis. NIAGADS hosts whole genome and exome sequence data from the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) and other genotype/phenotype data, encompassing 209,000 samples.

The unreliability of crackles: insights from a breath sound study using physicians and artificial intelligence.

Background And Introduction: In comparison to other physical assessment methods, the inconsistency in respiratory evaluations continues to pose a major issue and challenge.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the difference in the identification ability of different breath sound.

Methods/description: In this prospective study, breath sounds from the Formosa Archive of Breath Sound were labeled by five physicians.

Understanding Myeloma-Related Information Needs and Communication Preferences Within Black American Communities: An Exploratory Study.

Myeloma is the third most common blood cancer and one of the most complex and expensive cancers to treat. Black Americans face health disparities related to myeloma incidence, age at diagnosis, access to novel treatments, and mortality. To help reduce health disparities among Black Americans through education and outreach, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has implemented its Myeloma Link initiative.
