- The study utilized VESgen software to analyze vascular changes in eyes of patients with varying degrees of diabetic retinopathy (DR), comparing data from fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
- Two cohorts were examined: the first included type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with mild non-proliferative DR and nondiabetic controls, while the second focused on T2D patients and controls imaged using OCTA.
- Results showed that FA provided better insights into the structure of small microvessels, while OCTA was more effective at assessing vessel density, highlighting the potential for VESgen to improve our understanding of early
Objectives: Understanding and addressing how an individual's social, political, economic, and cultural context affects their ability to achieve optimal health is essential to designing and implementing interventions. Before evaluating two parenting programs, in partnership with four children's mental health organizations, we used the Health Equity Impact Assessment tool (HEIA) to identify groups that may experience unintended health impacts, as well as generated mitigation strategies to address these impacts.
Methods: HEIA activities included a review of the published literature, a review of organizational documents, key informant interviews with staff ( = 12) and other related community service providers ( = 7), and a geographic information systems analysis.
Purpose: This study utilized the Outcome of Human Trafficking Survivors (OHTS) to monitor the progress of female victims of CSE over a year while they were enrolled in a comprehensive treatment program.
Methods: Sixty-seven girls (M age 17.70 years) who were identified as confirmed victims of CSE (46 %) or at risk for CSE (54 %) and presented for treatment were administered the OHTS upon intake into the program and again at 90 day intervals resulting in four data points.
Background: Understanding the clinical features of myocarditis in various age groups is required to identify age-specific disease patterns.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine differences in sex distribution and clinical outcomes in patients with myocarditis of various ages.
Methods: Patients with acute or chronic myocarditis in 3 centers in Berlin, Germany from 2005 to 2021 and in the United States (National Inpatient Sample) from 2010 to 2019 were included.
