AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Quality professionals are the first to understand challenges of transforming data into meaningful information for frontline staff, operational managers, and governing bodies. To understand an individual facility, service, or patient care unit's comparative performance from within large data sets, prioritization and focused data presentation are needed. This article presents a methodology for translating data from large data sets into dashboards for setting performance improvement priorities, in a simple way that takes advantage of tools readily available and easily used by support staff. This methodology is illustrated with examples from a large nursing quality data set, the California Nursing Outcomes Coalition.

How Outcome Prediction Could Aid Clinical Practice.
Br J Hosp Med (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Surgery & Cancer, Imperial College London, London, UK.
Predictive algorithms have myriad potential clinical decision-making implications from prognostic counselling to improving clinical trial efficiency. Large observational (or "real world") cohorts are a common data source for the development and evaluation of such tools. There is significant optimism regarding the benefits and use cases for risk-based care, but there is a notable disparity between the volume of clinical prediction models published and implementation into healthcare systems that drive and realise patient benefit.

Background: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique joint that enables mandibular movement. Temporomandibular diseases (TMDs) impair joint function, leading to more or less specific clinical signs.
Objectives: To compile and disseminate clinical data and research findings from existing publications on equine TMD.

JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) establishes a persistent, asymptomatic kidney infection in most of the population. However, JCPyV can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals and cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a fatal demyelinating disease with no approved treatment. Mutations in the hypervariable non-coding control region (NCCR) of the JCPyV genome have been linked to disease outcomes and neuropathogenesis, yet few metanalyses document these associations.

Department of General and Transplant Surgery, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-355 Poznan, Poland.
: Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) constitutes a serious challenge in the long-term success of organ transplantation. It is associated with donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) which activate a complement pathway in response to the presence of human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) on the graft, which results in chronic inflammation and leads to graft dysfunction. One of the recent promising methods of cAMR treatment is a recombinant humanized anti-interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) monoclonal antibody referred to as Tocilizumab (TCZ).

Tree-ring width chronologies of Du Tour from near the upper treeline in the Western Sayan, Southern Siberia are found to have an exceptional (below mean-3SD) multi-year drop near 1700 CE, highlighted by the seven narrowest-ring years in a 1524-2022 regional chronology occurring in the short span of one decade. Tree rings are sometimes applied to reconstruct seasonal air temperatures; therefore, it is important to identify other factors that may have contributed to the growth suppression. The spatiotemporal scope of the "nosedive" in tree growth is investigated with a large network of (14 sites) and Ledeb.
