This study reviews the literature on the most important acceptance factors associated with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) and related technologies based on user groups' perspectives (medical staff, hospital management, administrative personnel, patient, medical student, and IT staff), which can assist researchers and hospital management to develop suitable acceptance models to improve the quality of HIS. We conducted searches in online databases with large repositories of academic studies, written in English and fully accessible by the authors. The articles being reviewed are related to health information technology (HIT), clinical information systems (CIS), HIS, electronic medical records (EMR), telemedicine or telehealth, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), radio frequency identification (RFID), and computerized physician order entry (CPOE), where the use of most of those applications and technologies is highly integrated. A predefined string was used to extract 1,005 articles, and the results were reviewed and checked. The results of this study found 15 user acceptance factors related to HIS and related technologies that were frequently identified by a minimum of five previous studies. These factors were related to individual, technological, and organizational factors. In addition, HIS and related technologies' user acceptance factors in each user group describe different results.

Objectives: This initiative assessed the integration of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System, adapted from aviation, into emergency medicine morbidity and mortality rounds. The objective was to determine whether incorporating the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System could lead to a perceived increase in the overall quality of morbidity and mortality presentations through the standardization of classifying cause factors of medical errors.

Methods: This study involved eight emergency medicine residents who applied the adapted Human Factors Analysis and Classification System framework to their morbidity and mortality case presentations over 6 months.

The tumorigenic dose 50 (TD) is a widely used measure of carcinogenic potency which has historically been used to determine acceptable intake limits for carcinogenic compounds. Although broadly used, the TD model was not designed to account for important biological factors such as DNA repair and cell compensatory mechanisms, changes in absorption, etc., leading to the development of benchmark dose (BMD) approaches, which use more flexible dose-response models that are better able to account for these processes.

Background: Clinicopathological studies suggest a role of minor cerebrovascular changes in the cognitive decline of individuals with a low neurodegenerative burden. However, it remains unclear whether small vascular brain lesions can impact cognition in middle aging individuals. Additionally, recent clinicopathological studies have shown that even a low Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathological burden can significantly impact neuropsychiatric function.

Background: African Americans (AA) are disproportionally burdened by Alzheimer's disease (AD), but there is a scarcity of research focusing on understanding the neuroimmune component of AD pathogenesis in this population. It is generally accepted that microglia would be an ideal therapeutic target for AD and that genetic, lifestyle, societal and environmental factors and stressors have the potential to shape microglia phenotypes and their contribution to neurodegenerative processes. The overarching goal of the current study is to establish the population structure of microglia in older AAs and to investigate the relationship of the different microglia subsets with histopathological hallmarks of brain aging and AD in AAs.
