Non-fasting triglyceride screening in volunteer blood donors: A pilot program.

This pilot study explores the feasibility of large-scale non-fasting triglyceride level screening at blood donation centers. Hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and acute pancreatitis. Triglyceride levels were measured in 10,176 blood donors at Carter BloodCare North Texas and found 39.

Exploring the feasibility of home-delivered capsule endoscopy with 5G support: innovations and carbon footprint insights.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant global health threat, necessitating early detection. Traditional diagnostic tools like optical colonoscopy have limitations prompting our '5G-SUCCEEDS' initiative to explore a novel approach involving remote colon capsule endoscopy (CCE).

Methods: This prospective feasibility study was conducted at a single hospital in England.

The role of parents' ability mindsets in parent-child interactions during math and reading activities.

Parents can be instrumental in promoting young children's early mathematics and literacy skills. However, differences in parents' beliefs can influence their behavior during parent-child interactions. We examined how parental beliefs about the fixedness of children's math and reading abilities shape their interactions with their 4- and 5-year-old children during an educational activity.

Optimizing tracking and completion of follow-up colonoscopy after abnormal stool tests at health systems participating in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Colorectal Cancer Control Program.

Purpose: We present findings from an assessment of award recipients' partners from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP). We describe partners' processes of identifying and tracking patients undergoing stool-based screening.

Methods: We analyzed data from eight CRCCP award recipients purposively sampled and their partner health systems from 2019 to 2023.

Case Study of a Comprehensive Team-Based Approach to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men and women in West Virginia. In addition, 51% of all colorectal cancers diagnosed in West Virginia from 2012 to 2016 were detected at either regional (31%) or distant (20%) stages indicating a need for improved early detection.

Methods: West Virginia University Cheat Lake Physicians participated in the West Virginia Program to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening, a program of Cancer Prevention and Control at the WVU Cancer Institute.
