As the computer-based patient record, or CPR, moves closer to reality, patient identification issues remain unresolved. A mechanism already in place would be the Social Security number, or SSN. But legal questions surround its use for specific identification purposes. And not everyone has one. Healthcare Informatics asked several people closely involved with computerizing patient records about alternatives to social security numbers. Their responses may prove enlightening.

Purpose: This meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of rotator cuff repair surgery in treating rotator cuff tears in individuals with mild glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA).
Methods: A computer-based search was conducted across multiple databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library using the keywords "Shoulder Joints", "Osteoarthrosis", and "rotator cuff".

Identification of Cognitive Training for Individuals with Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review.
Brain Sci
January 2025
IRCCS Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS, 20148 Milan, Italy.
: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by cardinal motor features and a multitude of non-motor manifestations. Among them, cognitive impairment in PD has been recognised as a defined clinical entity, and it might lead to an increased risk of developing dementia. Consequently, the present review aimed to ascertain the available interventions for the training of cognitive abilities in persons with PD (PwPD).

Universitätsklinik für Hals‑, Nasen- und Ohrenheilkunde, Kopf- und Halschirurgie Innsbruck, Medizinische Universität Innsbruck, Anichstr. 35, 6020, Innsbruck, Österreich.
Background: Electronically captured patient reports (electronic patient-reported outcomes, ePROs) are digital questionnaires filled out by cancer patients. Despite indications of improved clinical care, the integration of ePROs into clinical head and neck oncology is uncharted territory.
Objective: This work outlines the implementation process for ePROs at the University Hospital for Otorhinolaryngology at the Medical University of Innsbruck (ENT Innsbruck).
