BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Shanghai Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China
Introduction: Colonoscopy is currently the most commonly used and effective method for early detection, diagnosis and treatment of tumours of the colon and rectum.

Provider perspectives on caring for patients with limited English proficiency-a national survey of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology.
Gynecol Oncol Rep
February 2025
Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, United States.
Background: In diversity, equity and inclusion research, overcoming barriers in language discordant patient care is one of the largest and most challenging gaps. It is well established that patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) have higher rates of misdiagnosis, medical errors, and serious adverse events, and recommended best practices for LEP patient care are often not followed.
Objective: Our team sought to elicit provider perspectives regarding the barriers they face in caring for LEP patients-especially the unique challenges faced when caring for patients with complex and sensitive diagnoses such as gynecologic cancer.
Measurement of plantar pressure differences in the contralateral limb when using offloading modalities for diabetic foot ulcerations.
J Foot Ankle Res
March 2025
The University of South Australia, Allied Health & Human Performance Unit, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Background: This study investigated the effect of various offloading devices commonly used for the management of diabetic foot ulcerations on peak plantar pressure and pressure-time integral of the contralateral limb.
Methods: A quantitative, randomised and within-subject repeated measures study was conducted in an outpatient gait laboratory. Outpatients with unilateral diabetic foot ulcers and adequate perfusion to the lower limb without an intrinsic limb-length discrepancy who were able to walk were recruited for the study.
Patient Challenges in Utilization of Methadone to Treat Opioid Use Disorder and Perspectives on a Solution for Improved Security and Convenience in Take-home Dosing.
Innov Clin Neurosci
December 2024
Mr. Timberlake is with Berkshire Biomedical Corporation in Dallas, Texas.
Background: Methadone is commonly utilized to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). Requirements to visit an opioid treatment provider (OTP) clinic for methadone treatment limits access to treatment, impacts quality of life, and reduces OUD treatment program retention. The Computerized Oral Prescription Administration (COPA) system is a dual-biometric dispensing device for take-home dosing that could reduce the impacts of methadone administration on patients and clinic staff.
