Health Impact of a Mobile-Delivered Diabetes Intervention to Control Blood Pressure in Older Adults.

Introduction: Patient education is an effective modality to reinforce self-care practices for chronic disease management. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to assess the health impact of a phone-delivered diabetes intervention and (2) to identify predictors of telehealth message use among adults aged 18-65 years with diabetes in a primary care setting using the Technology Acceptance Model theoretical framework.

Methods: A pretest-posttest experimental study design was employed.

Clinical breast concerns in low-risk pediatric patients: practice review with proposed recommendations.

Background: Fibroadenoma is overwhelmingly the most common pediatric breast lesion. Breast malignancy is quite uncommon in children, most frequently metastatic or hematological malignancy. Core biopsy has largely replaced excision for diagnosis of breast masses in adults.

Impact of the New Jersey Breast Density Law on Imaging and Intervention Volumes and Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

Purpose: Increased breast density is acknowledged as an independent risk factor for breast cancer and may obscure malignancy on mammography. Approximately half of all mammograms depict dense breasts. Legislation related to mandatory breast density notification was first enacted in Connecticut in 2009.
