Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that affects approximately 100,000 individuals in the United States, with the highest prevalence among Black or African American populations. While advances in care have improved survival, comprehensive state-level data on the prevalence of SCD remain limited, which hampers efforts to optimize health care services. To address this gap, the Colorado Sickle Cell Data Collection (CO-SCDC) program was established in 2021 as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's initiative to enhance surveillance and public health efforts for SCD.

However, there is ongoing debate whether intensive BP lowering may paradoxically increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated the association of BP with risk of CVD mortality in patients with T2D.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand the characteristics and attitudes of users and non-users of consumer wearable devices designed for health and wellness, focusing on their impact on cardiovascular disease prevention and management.
- Conducted within the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, the research involved a survey sent to nearly 215,000 patients, where 11,121 responded, revealing that 55.8% were wearable device users, while 95.3% of non-users expressed willingness to use a device if free.
- Key findings showed that many users had not shared their device data with doctors, yet felt sharing this information was important; factors influencing device usage included age, gender, heart failure status, and income level

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is an Epstein-Barr virus-positive, aggressive lymphoma with a heterogeneous cell of origin and variable clinical course. Several clinical prognostic indices have been proposed for ENKTL; however, there are few pathological biomarkers. This multi-institutional study sought to identify histologically assessable prognostic factors.

Background: The master adaptive learner (MAL) uses self-regulated learning skills to develop adaptive, efficient, and accurate skills in practice. Given rapid changes in healthcare, it is essential that medical students develop into MALs. There is a need for an instrument that can capture MAL behaviors and characteristics.
