Experience of The National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant frailties of the U.S. healthcare system, especially inequities facing rural areas during surges when critical access and small community hospitals could not transfer patients to referral centers that were already overcapacity.

Cardiac growth patterns and metabolism before and after birth in swine: Role of miR in proliferation, hypertrophy and metabolism.

The adult mammalian heart is unable to undergo cardiac repair, limiting potential treatment options after cardiac damage. However, the fetal heart is capable of cardiac repair. In preparation for birth, cardiomyocytes (CMs) undergo major maturational changes that include exit from the cell cycle, hypertrophic growth, and mitochondrial maturation.

Bridging Educational Procedural Gap Via Analysis of Procedures Performed by Pediatric Nurse Practitioners in Clinical Practice: A Cross Sectional Survey.

Introduction: The complexity of healthcare is dynamic and requires educators to evaluate how to prepare pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs). The research team sought to evaluate procedures currently being performed by primary and acute care PNPs in clinical practice and determine how this aligns with the educational preparation recommended for certification.

Method: A cross-sectional survey of primary and acute care PNPs were evaluated through an online survey.

Improving the Health and Environmental Health Literacy of Professionals: Evaluating the Effect of a Virtual Intervention on Phthalate Environmental Health Literacy.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists provided updated guidance in 2021, recommending that reproductive health professionals should include discussion of environmental exposures with their patients. However, environmental health is seldom included in medical training, with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, such as phthalates-linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes-being among the least discussed. We developed a one-hour virtual educational intervention to train reproductive health professionals on the routes of phthalate exposure, potential associated health impacts, and suggestions on how to discuss exposure reduction with patients.

A Novel Playbook for Pragmatic Trial Operations to Monitor and Evaluate Ambient Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice.

Background: Ambient artificial intelligence offers promise for improving documentation efficiency and reducing provider burden through clinical note generation. However, challenges persist in workflow integration, compliance, and widespread adoption. This study leveraged a Learning Health System (LHS) framework to align research and operations using a hybrid effectiveness-implementation protocol, embedded as pragmatic trial operations within the electronic health record (EHR).
