Established in 1978, Computerized Screening Inc. (CSI) is the manufacturer of medical kiosks that combine non-invasive & invasive preventive health-screening technology and services in the U.S. The centerpiece of CSl's health complement is the CSI Health Station, one-stop health information and screening using patented technology. The CSI Health Station (Model 6K) represents the corporation's evolution from its self-administered automated blood pressure monitors (Model 3K). CSI Health Stations also offer touch screen activated heart rate testing, patented, seated weight measurement and fitness evaluations plus other non-invasive features like BMI, resting metabolic rate, spirometry, pulse oximetry and customized health risk assessments or triage guidelines. Invasive testing such as urine analysis, cholesterol, and glucose is also accommodated in an attended setting. In addition, CSI Health Stations feature comprehensive, one-stop availability of health information, with access to a drug encyclopedia and an extensive library of health education videos, and information on local health providers and services. It also is web enabled and supports secure website access direct from the kiosk. The purpose of this study was to determine, using current standards from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), whether or not the CSI 6K could accurately and reproducibly measure blood pressure in an ambulatory population in comparison to manual auscultation.

Gender disparities in attitudes, norms, and perceived control related to intentional condomless sexual intercourse: A psychosocial theory-driven comparison among cisgender heterosexual male and female college varsity athletes in Taiwan.
Int J Clin Health Psychol
October 2024
Institute of Health Behaviors and Community Sciences, College of Public Health, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: While condom use has been extensively studied as a protective behavior, research directly focusing on condomless sexual intercourse (CSI) as a distinct and intentional risk behavior, particularly regarding gender differences, remains scarce.
Methods: Building upon the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study addresses this gap by comparing TPB factors and individual TPB items regarding intentional CSI among cisgender heterosexual college varsity athletes in Taiwan ( = 1348).
Results: High CSI intention was more prevalent among men (53.
The CASPAR study protocol. Can cervical stiffness predict successful vaginal delivery after induction of labour? a feasibility, cohort study.
PLoS One

Department of Women and Children's Health, Harris Preterm Birth Research Centre, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Background: Induction of labour (IOL) is a common obstetric intervention in the UK, affecting up to 33% of deliveries. IOL aims to achieve a vaginal delivery prior to spontaneous onset of labour to prevent harm from ongoing pregnancy complications and is known to prevent stillbirths and reduce neonatal intensive care unit admissions. However, IOL doesn't come without risk and overall, 20% of mothers having an induction will still require a caesarean section birth and in primiparous mothers this rate is even higher.

JACC Adv
December 2024
Division of Cardiac Surgery, St. Michael's Hospital of Unity Health Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Valvular heart disease (VHD) management has evolved rapidly in recent decades, but disparities in health care access persist among countries with varying socioeconomic backgrounds.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate global mortality trends from VHD and assess the difference between middle- and high-income countries.
Methods: We obtained mortality data from the World Health Organization Mortality Database for VHD and its subgroups (rheumatic valvular disease [RVD], infective endocarditis [IE], aortic stenosis [AS], and mitral regurgitation [MR]) from 2000 to 2019.

Complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. In-depth understanding of the mechanisms and management options of these complications as well as timely recognition and action can sometimes be lifesaving. In this review we discuss the mechanisms, prevention methods, diagnosis, and management of three major PCI complications: a) perforation b) acute vessel closure, and c) equipment loss.
