Stud Health Technol Inform
August 2024
Background: The existence of multiple code systems and standards has highlighted the necessity for innovative solutions to bridge these discrepancies.
Objectives: This research investigates the utilisation of TermX to tackle the challenges of interoperability in radiology procedures, with a specific emphasis on angiography and X-ray modalities.
Results: The study produced a revised RadLex data model and mapping guide, designed to classify radiology services using TermX.
Article Synopsis
- - A new measure has been created to evaluate the Quality of Life (QoL) for young people aged 8-18 with advanced cancer, engaging young research partners in its development.
- - The research followed a four-phase plan that included creating and testing the questionnaire for clarity, assessing its social validity, and refining it based on feedback from 12 young patients.
- - The final versions of the questionnaires address key QoL domains and aim to meet the specific needs of young cancer patients and their families, receiving positive feedback during the evaluation process.
Article Synopsis
- Preclinical data show that human muscle stem (hMuStem) cells have a strong ability to repair muscle injuries, but their survival after transplantation is limited.
- This study explored using tunable calcium-alginate hydrogels to encapsulate hMuStem cells, improving their protection and potential for clinical applications.
- The research found that the mechanical properties of these hydrogels vary based on gelation methods and concentrations, and encapsulated hMuStem cells retained their viability and functionality, suggesting a promising approach for muscle regeneration therapies.
Purpose: Exome sequencing (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) are diagnostic tests for rare genetic diseases. Studies report clinical utility of ES/GS. The goal of this systematic review is to establish how clinical utility is defined and measured in studies evaluating the impacts of ES/GS results for pediatric patients.
