[Enhanced quality of documentation for biologic therapy of chronic rhinosinusitis through structured digital reporting and indication?].

Background: With targeted inhibition of type 2 inflammation, biologics represent the standard add-on therapy for inadequately controlled severe forms of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Despite standardization with paper-based checklists, the documentation of medical history and current findings pertinent to indication criteria are a significant challenge for physicians. Through development of an application based on structured reporting, the current study aimed to improve documentation quality and simplify the decision-making process.

Using CDOM spectral shape information to improve the estimation of DOC concentration in inland waters: A case study of Andean Patagonian Lakes.

For the last two decades different scientific disciplines have focused on lacustrine dissolved organic matter (DOM) given its importance in the biogeochemistry of carbon and in ecosystem functioning. New satellites supply the appropriate resolutions to evaluate chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in inland waters, opening the possibility to estimate DOM at appropriate spatiotemporal scales. This requires, however, a robust relationship between CDOM and dissolved organic carbon (DOC).

An Exploratory Study of the Role of Birth Stories in Shaping Expectations for Childbirth among Nulliparous Black Women: Everybody is Different (but I'm Scared).

Introduction: Birth stories area source of information and vicarious experience for nulliparous women. Although health disparities research suggests that the childbirth experiences of Black women differ from those of white women, little research has been conducted about the nature of birth stories shared and their subsequent effect on expectations.

Methods: Pregnant nulliparous Black women were recruited from a women's health practice in the southeastern United States.

An environment for sustainable research software in Germany and beyond: current state, open challenges, and call for action.

Research software has become a central asset in academic research. It optimizes existing and enables new research methods, implements and embeds research knowledge, and constitutes an essential research product in itself. Research software must be sustainable in order to understand, replicate, reproduce, and build upon existing research or conduct new research effectively.

The role of structured reporting and structured operation planning in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Computed tomography (CT) scans represent the gold standard in the planning of functional endoscopic sinus surgeries (FESS). Yet, radiologists and otolaryngologists have different perspectives on these scans. In general, residents often struggle with aspects involved in both reporting and operation planning.
