Predicting the response of a long-distance migrant to changing environmental conditions in winter.

Access to high-quality food is critical for long-distance migrants to provide energy for migration and arrival at breeding grounds in good condition. We studied effects of changing abundance and availability of a marine food, common eelgrass ( L.), on an arctic-breeding, migratory goose, black brant ( Lawrence 1846), at a key non-breeding site, Bahía San Quintín, Mexico.

Live birth per embryo transfer with next generation sequencing preimplantation genetic testing: an analysis of 26,107 cycles.

The technique and platform used for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) have undergone significant changes over time. The contemporary technique utilizes trophectoderm biopsy followed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The goal of this study was to explore the role of PGT-A using NGS technique exclusively in contemporary fertilization (IVF) practice.

Adoption of Patient-Generated Health Data in Oncology: A Report From the NCCN EHR Oncology Advisory Group.

Background: Collecting, monitoring, and responding to patient-generated health data (PGHD) are associated with improved quality of life and patient satisfaction, and possibly with improved patient survival in oncology. However, the current state of adoption, types of PGHD collected, and degree of integration into electronic health records (EHRs) is unknown.

Methods: The NCCN EHR Oncology Advisory Group formed a Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Workgroup to perform an assessment and provide recommendations for cancer centers, researchers, and EHR vendors to advance the collection and use of PGHD in oncology.

Preferences in Oncology History Documentation Styles Among Clinical Practitioners.

Purpose: Clinical notes function as the de facto handoff between providers and assume great importance during unplanned medical encounters. An organized and thorough oncology history is essential in care coordination. We sought to understand reader preferences for oncology history organization by comparing between chronologic and narrative formats.
