Advanced informatics systems can help improve health care delivery and the environment of care for critically ill patients. However, identifying, testing, and deploying advanced informatics systems can be quite challenging. These processes often require involvement from a collaborative group of health care professionals of varied disciplines with knowledge of the complexities related to designing the modern and "smart" intensive care unit (ICU). In this article, we explore the connectivity environment within the ICU, middleware technologies to address a host of patient care initiatives, and the core informatics concepts necessary for both the design and implementation of advanced informatics systems.

Background: Black Americans (BAs), Hispanics/Latinos (H/Ls), and Africans (As) face a disproportionate burden of aging and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD), coupled with underrepresentation in research. Further, researchers also report a lack of compliance on sensitive social determinants of health data for AD/ADRD research. For instance, the PRAPARE tool reports a low completion rate in community and clinical settings.

Dementia Care Practice.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Background: Assistive technology (AT) plays a crucial role in empowering people living with dementia (PLWD) to perform tasks independently, enhancing their autonomy and dignity. To build on this foundation, our proposal introduces a home-based reminder system designed to further support PLWD in their daily lives.

Hypothesis: Memory aid technology, in particular reminder systems, can be developed to prospectively provide PLWD with autonomy and independence, to alleviate responsibilities and time commitments of caregivers and clinicians, and to enable remote behavioral monitoring.

Dental implant in esthetic zone: A case report.

SAGE Open Med Case Rep

January 2025

PhD in Health Science Program, Faculty of Medicine, Mahasarakham University, Mahasarakham, Thailand.

This case report emphasizes the complexities involved in dental implant placement within the anterior esthetic zone, focusing on the integration of advanced surgical techniques and meticulous prosthetic design for optimal esthetic and functional results. A 28-year-old male presented with the absence of the upper left central incisor, which had been extracted 5 years prior due to fracture. Clinical and radiographic assessments indicated normal alveolar bone levels; however, the esthetic demands required a specialized approach.

Enzymes are molecular machines optimized by nature to allow otherwise impossible chemical processes to occur. Their design is a challenging task due to the complexity of the protein space and the intricate relationships between sequence, structure, and function. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for modeling and analyzing biological sequences, but their application to protein design is limited by the high cardinality of the protein space.
