Best Practices for Integrating Medical Students Into Telehealth Visits.

Telehealth has become an increasingly important part of health care delivery, with a dramatic rise in telehealth visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth visits will continue to be a part of care delivery after the pandemic subsides, and it is important that medical students receive training in telehealth skills to meet emerging telehealth competencies. This paper describes strategies for successfully integrating medical students into telehealth visits in the ambulatory setting based on existing literature and the extensive experience of the authors teaching and learning in the telehealth environment.

Undermining and Strengthening Social Networks through Network Modification.

Social networks have well documented effects at the individual and aggregate level. Consequently it is often useful to understand how an attempt to influence a network will change its structure and consequently achieve other goals. We develop a framework for network modification that allows for arbitrary objective functions, types of modification (e.

Integrating data from an online diabetes prevention program into an electronic health record and clinical workflow, a design phase usability study.

Background: Health information is increasingly being digitally stored and exchanged. The public is regularly collecting and storing health-related data on their own electronic devices and in the cloud. Diabetes prevention is an increasingly important preventive health measure, and diet and exercise are key components of this.

The mutagenic footprint of low-fidelity Pol I ColE1 plasmid replication in E. coli reveals an extensive interplay between Pol I and Pol III.

ColE1 plasmid replication is unidirectional and requires two DNA polymerases: DNA polymerase I (Pol I) and DNA polymerase III (Pol III). Pol I initiates leading-strand synthesis by extending an RNA primer, allowing the Pol III holoenzyme to assemble and finish replication of both strands. The goal of the present work is to study the interplay between Pol I and Pol III during ColE1 plasmid replication, to gain new insights into Pol I function in vivo.

Effect of shoe type on plantar pressure: a gender comparison.

Despite the differences in materials, racing flats have begun to be used not only for racing, but also for daily training. As there are data suggesting a gender difference in overuse injuries in runners, shoe choice may affect loading patterns during running. The purpose was to determine differences in plantar pressure between genders when running in training shoes and racing flats.

Differences in plantar loading between training shoes and racing flats at a self-selected running speed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in plantar loading between two different running shoe types. We hypothesized that a higher maximum force, peak pressure, and contact area would exist beneath the entire foot while running in a racing flat when compared to a training shoe. 37 athletes (17 male and 20 female) were recruited for this study.
