Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study.

Background: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has been widely integrated into primary care pediatrics. While initial studies showed some concern for disparities in telemedicine use, telemedicine uptake for pediatric patients in a low-income, primarily Latino community over a sustained period has yet to be described.

Objective: We aimed to assess the relationship between demographics, patient portal activation, and telemedicine visits, as well as characterize diagnoses addressed in telemedicine, in a low-income, primarily Latino population over time.

Age-related changes in information-seeking behavior about morally relevant events.

With age, people increasingly emphasize intent when judging transgressions. However, people often lack information about intent in everyday settings; further, they may wonder about reasons underlying pro-social acts. Three studies investigated 4-to-6-year-olds', 7-to-9-year-olds', and adults' (data collected 2020-2022 in the northeastern United States, total n = 669, ~50% female, predominantly White) desire for information about why behaviors occurred.

Peptide PET Imaging: A Review of Recent Developments and a Look at the Future of Radiometal-Labeled Peptides in Medicine.

The development of peptide-based, radiometal-labeled PET imaging agents has seen an increase in attention due to the favorable properties the peptide backbone exhibits. These include high selectivity and affinity to proteins and cells directly linked to various types of cancers. In addition, rapid clearance from circulation and low toxicity allow for unique approaches to engineering a viable peptide-based imaging agent.

The effect of prebiotic fibre on the gut microbiome and surgical outcomes in patients with prosthetic joint infection (PENGUIN) - study protocol for a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ACTRN12623001273673).

Background: Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) is the most devastating complication of arthroplasty surgery and affects 1-5% of patients. Despite strict adherence to aseptic protocols and preventive measures, infection is the most common reason for revision arthroplasty, and the incidence is increasing. Treatment of PJI is challenging and often requires repeated major surgeries with sequentially poor results.
