Integrating Stakeholder Priorities for the Optimization of Care of the Preterm Infant in a Safety-Net NICU.

Objective:  This study aimed to engage clinical and community stakeholders to create a prioritization matrix of interventions to reduce neonatal brain injury and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Study Design:  We collaborated with our community partner to establish a Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG). Faculty performed a literature review to identify neonatal neuroprotective interventions; additional priorities from the LEAG were also included.

Active Vibrational Achilles Tendon Sensing for Identifying and Characterizing Inflammatory Symptomatology in Enthesitis Related Arthritis.

Objective: This study explores the potential of active vibrational sensing as a digital biomarker to identify and characterize inflammatory symptomatology in the Achilles tendon and its entheses in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), particularly enthesitis related arthritis (ERA), a subcategory of JIA.

Methods: Active vibrational data were non-invasively recorded using a miniature coin vibration motor and accelerometer. Twenty active vibration recordings from children diagnosed with JIA were used in the analysis.

Knee acoustic emissions as a noninvasive biomarker of articular health in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a clinical validation in an extended study population.

Background: Joint acoustic emissions from knees have been evaluated as a convenient, non-invasive digital biomarker of inflammatory knee involvement in a small cohort of children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). The objective of the present study was to validate this in a larger cohort.

Findings: A total of 116 subjects (86 JIA and 30 healthy controls) participated in this study.
