Importance: An emergency medicine (EM) handoff note generated by a large language model (LLM) has the potential to reduce physician documentation burden without compromising the safety of EM-to-inpatient (IP) handoffs.
Objective: To develop LLM-generated EM-to-IP handoff notes and evaluate their accuracy and safety compared with physician-written notes.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used EM patient medical records with acute hospital admissions that occurred in 2023 at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
The Impact of Climate, Aeroallergens, Pollution, and Altitude on Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction.
Immunol Allergy Clin North Am
February 2025
Article Synopsis
- Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) can occur independently or alongside asthma, and its development is influenced by a variety of factors.
- Environmental elements such as climate, allergens, air pollution, and altitude can exacerbate EIB symptoms.
- Educating patients about how these environmental factors affect their condition may help them manage symptoms better and enhance their ability to exercise.
Motivators and Barriers to Joining a Lifestyle Change Program for Disease Prevention.
Womens Health Rep (New Rochelle)
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Lifestyle change programs (LCPs) are effective for promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing disease, but women's enrollment in these programs is low due to various barriers.
- A survey conducted with 1,606 women aged 40-74 revealed limited knowledge about LCP benefits and a low-to-moderate interest in participation, influenced by factors like physical activity levels, BMI, and perceived barriers such as cost and time.
- The study highlights the need to improve women's understanding of LCPs and address specific barriers to boost enrollment and retention in these programs.
Return visit admissions (RVA), which are instances where patients discharged from the emergency department (ED) rapidly return and require hospital admission, have been associated with quality issues and adverse outcomes. We developed and validated a machine learning model to predict 72-hour RVA using electronic health records (EHR) data. Study data were extracted from EHR data in 2019 from three urban EDs.

A blurred chronology has made it difficult to determine when Neanderthals disappeared and whether modern humans overlapped with them. Italy is a crucial region because here we can identify not only Late Mousterian industries, assumed to be associated with Neanderthals, but also early Upper Palaeolithic industries linked with the appearance of early H.
