imzML Writer: An Easy-to-Use Python Pipeline for Conversion of Continuously Acquired Raw Mass Spectrometry Imaging Data to imzML Format.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a technique that uncovers the contextual distribution of biomolecules in tissue. This involves collecting large data sets with information-rich mass spectra in each pixel. To streamline image processing and interpretation, the MSI community has developed toolboxes for image preprocessing, segmentation, statistical analysis, and visualization.

Enrollee, Plan, and State Characteristics Associated With Experience of Care Among Adults in Medicaid Managed Care.

Objective: To examine five enrollee-reported experience of care metrics and assess enrollee, plan, and state characteristics associated with higher care ratings.

Study Setting And Design: We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study using multivariable linear probability models and predictors that captured various enrollee, plan, and state characteristics. We evaluated five enrollee-reported experience of care measures: being "always or usually" easy to get needed care (yes/no), having a personal doctor (yes/no), having timely access to a checkup or routine care (yes/no), having timely access to specialty care (yes/no), and healthcare rating (0-10).

Associations between Functional Disability and Chronic Conditions with Depressive Symptoms in Vietnamese-Origin Older Refugees.

Previous studies have found a strong association between activities of daily living (ADL)/instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) disability, chronic conditions, and depressive symptoms, and these associations with specific disability and diseases varied by racial/ethnic groups. However, information is unavailable on these associations, especially with the older generation of refugee populations. Authors examined the association and explored which disability and chronic diseases might be associated with depressive symptoms among 208 Vietnamese-origin older adults (≥65 years) from the Vietnamese Aging and Care Survey (VACS) in the United States.
