Article Synopsis
- Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is often linked to inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs), but OBGYN residents lack specific training on this topic.
- A survey of 388 residents revealed that, while most received general training on HMB, only a small percentage felt adequately educated about HMB related to IBDs, leading to decreased confidence in managing such cases.
- The study highlights the need for improved educational curricula in OBGYN residency programs to enhance residents' skills and confidence in evaluating and treating patients with HMB due to IBDs.
A Machine Learning Method for Allocating Scarce COVID-19 Monoclonal Antibodies.
JAMA Health Forum
September 2024
Importance: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the effective distribution of limited treatments became a crucial policy goal. Yet, limited research exists using electronic health record data and machine learning techniques, such as policy learning trees (PLTs), to optimize the distribution of scarce therapeutics.
Objective: To evaluate whether a machine learning PLT-based method of scarce resource allocation optimizes the treatment benefit of COVID-19 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) during periods of resource constraint.
Background: A trial performed among unvaccinated, high-risk outpatients with COVID-19 during the delta period showed remdesivir reduced hospitalization. We used our real-world data platform to determine the effectiveness of remdesivir on reducing 28-day hospitalization among outpatients with mild-moderate COVID-19 during an Omicron period including BQ.1/BQ.

Subjects: and Methods: We performed 7-day/24-hour Ambulatory BP Monitoring in 220 (133 women) residents (23 to 74 years) of a rural Japanese town in Kochi Prefecture under everyday life conditions.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of preoperative chemo(radio)therapy on patients with localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma, focusing on the rare occurrence of pathological complete response (pCR), where no cancer cells are found post-surgery.
- Conducted in 19 centers across 8 countries with 1758 participants, the research shows that only 4.8% of patients achieved pCR, which is linked to better overall survival rates compared to those who did not achieve pCR.
- Factors influencing the likelihood of pCR included the use of multiagent chemotherapy regimens other than the (m)FOLFIRINOX treatment, highlighting the need for tailored therapeutic approaches.
