Understanding Factors Associated with Paid Malpractice Claims in Plastic Surgery.
Plast Reconstr Surg
March 2024
From the Department of Surgery, Section of Plastic Surgery, University of Michigan.
Background: Few studies have investigated malpractice broadly in the field of plastic surgery. The purpose of this analysis was to characterize plastic surgery malpractice cases and examine factors influencing malpractice case outcomes, thereby identifying areas of patient safety concern.
Methods: The Candello database, which catalogs approximately 30% of all paid and unpaid malpractice claims in the United States, was used to obtain cases involving plastic surgery closed between 2009 and 2018.
The PhenX Toolkit: Measurement Protocols for Assessment of Social Determinants of Health.
Am J Prev Med
September 2023
GenOmics, Bioinformatics, and Translation Research Center, RTI International, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
Introduction: Social determinants are structures and conditions in the biological, physical, built, and social environments that affect health, social and physical functioning, health risk, quality of life, and health outcomes. The adoption of recommended, standard measurement protocols for social determinants of health will advance the science of minority health and health disparities research and provide standard social determinants of health protocols for inclusion in all studies with human participants.
Methods: A PhenX (consensus measures for Phenotypes and eXposures) Working Group of social determinants of health experts was convened from October 2018 to May 2020 and followed a well-established consensus process to identify and recommend social determinants of health measurement protocols.
Implementation of an integrated care strategy for child contacts of tuberculosis patients: a quasi-experimental study protocol.
BMC Pediatr
January 2023
Unidad de Bacteriología y Micobacterias, Corporación para Investigaciones Biológicas, Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Medellín, Colombia.
Background: Childhood tuberculosis continues to be a major public health problem. Although the visibility of the epidemic in this population group has increased, further research is needed.
Objective: To design, implement and evaluate an integrated care strategy for children under five years old who are household contacts of bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Medellín and the Metropolitan Area.
Characterization of a 1D-imaging high-energy x-ray backlighter driven by the National Ignition Facility Advanced Radiographic Capability laser.
Rev Sci Instrum
October 2022
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 7000 East Avenue, Livermore, California 94550, USA.
Plastic deformation of samples compressed to Mbar pressures at high strain rates at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) forms the basis of ongoing material strength experiments in conditions relevant to meteor impacts, geophysics, armor development, and inertial confinement fusion. Hard x-ray radiography is the primary means of measuring the evolution of these samples, typically employing a slit-collimated high-Z microdot driven by the NIF laser to generate >40 keV x rays [E. Gumbrell et al.

Biomedica
June 2022
Unidad de Investigación Científica, Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras, Tegucigalpa, Honduras; Departamento de Laboratorio Clínico, Hospital Escuela, Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Introduction: There is a global consensus that early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) can accelerate its control and mitigate its consequences. The gradual increase in the TB mortality rate from 2014 to 2018 in Honduras, the reform of the health system in 2014, and the partial implementation of the “End TB” strategy motivated this study.
Objective: To analyze barriers to and facilitators of diagnosis and treatment affecting the national TB program coverage using data from 2015 to 2019 and provide tools for the effective implementation of the “End TB” strategy in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
