Purpose: Our aim is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Acuity 360 telemedicine system, as compared to in-person clinic examination, in identifying clinically significant eye disease. Acuity 360 is a combination of commercially available ocular imaging devices used together to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the structures and diseases of the eye.
Methods: Observational cross-sectional study of consecutively examined patients where 19 remote examiners analyzed 80 patients using Acuity 360 images.
Article Synopsis
- - The systematic review analyzed current qualitative literature on patient experiences with opioid use disorder (OUD) treatments, focusing on opioid agonist, partial agonist, and antagonist medications.
- - Researchers screened 1,129 studies, ultimately including 47 reports published from 2005 to 2023, identifying five major themes related to treatment expectations, medication responses, pharmacy experiences, maintenance support, and social factors influencing treatment.
- - The findings emphasize the need for patient-centered care and integrated healthcare services, highlighting gaps and calling for more qualitative research in real-world environments.
Purpose: (i) Characterize ultra-processed food (UPF) intakes in toddlerhood and mid-childhood, including identifying principal UPF sub-groups and associations with nutrient profile; (ii) explore stability and change in UPF intake between toddlerhood and mid-childhood.
Methods: Data were from children in the UK Gemini twin cohort at 21 months (n = 2,591) and 7 years (n = 592) of age. UPF intakes were estimated using diet diaries and Nova classification.
