Hospital technology decision makers now confront a growing pipeline of information technology (IT) and major medical equipment that challenges traditional capital allocation processes. In a highly fragmented industry that is driven by coverage and reimbursement policies set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and private insurers, the cumulative impact of hospitals' technology investment decisions shapes health care for decades.We propose a framework for the development of a national collaboration for the planning and assessment of emerging technologies, designed to improve the quality and efficiency of hospital decisions. Broader application of technology assessment would restrain inappropriate technology adoption and use.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a disorder with multiple impairments, among which emotion disorder is the most main one. Nowadays, evoked activity (EA), such as event-related potential (ERP), has mostly been studied for MDD, but induced activity (IA) analysis is still lacking. In this paper, EA, IA and event-related spectral perturbation (ERSP) were studied and compared between MDD patients and healthy controls (HC).

Despite the recent advancement, Matteson-type reactions are almost exclusively used to construct linear molecules. Herein we report an iterative boron-homologation approach to construct various carbocycles from a single precursor. This method utilizes an electron-withdrawing group (EWG) as a handle to enable intramolecular Matteson-type couplings, leading to diastereoselective and enantioselective ring formation.

Background: The evidence supporting additional linear ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF) remains limited. This study investigates the mechanisms of intermediate atrial tachycardia (AT), a transient state between PerAF and sinus rhythm (SR), during PerAF termination by catheter ablation, and provides evidence for these mechanisms.
Methods: We analyzed 136 patients who converted to organized AT after PerAF termination in the Extent-AF study.

Background: Pneumoconiosis prevalence is increasing in the United States, especially among coal miners. Contemporaneously with an increased need for specialized multidisciplinary care for miners, there is a shortage of experts to fulfill this need. Miners' Wellness ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) is a digital community of practice based on interprofessional discussion for knowledge transfer.
