Objective: To describe the use of electronic health records (EHR) among members of the American Neurotology Society (ANS).
Study Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Active ANS members in November 2017.
Intervention: Internet-based survey.
Main Outcome Measure: Survey that assessed the use of EHR in practice, types of EHR programs, different elements of EHR employed, and respondents' satisfaction and efficiency with EHR.
Results: One hundred twenty-seven ANS members responded to the survey with 67 (52.8%) respondents working in academic practice and 60 (47.2%) respondents working in private practice. Epic was the most commonly used EHR with 89 (70.1%) respondents using this system. Among all respondents, 84 (66.1%) respondents reported their efficiency was reduced by EHR use, and there was an even split between respondents who reported they were satisfied versus dissatisfied with their EHR (∼40% each). We found that younger members were more likely to feel EHR increased their efficiency compared with the older members (p = 0.04). In all other analyses, we found no significant difference in efficiency and satisfaction between age groups, practice settings, presence of residents or fellows, or specific EHR used. The main challenges reported by ANS members related to the EHR were increased time burden, poor user interface, lack of customizability, and the focus away from patients.
Conclusions: The majority of ANS members felt their efficiency decreased as a result of EHR. These findings provide specific changes to the EHR that would improve efficiency and satisfaction among neurotologists.

Background: The sinoatrial node (SN) generates the heart rate (HR). Its spontaneous activity is regulated by a complex interplay between the modulation by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and intrinsic factors including ion channels in SN cells. However, the systemic and intrinsic regulatory mechanisms are still poorly understood.

Objectives: The burden of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) attributable to natural water recreation in Canada is unknown. Understanding the burden can help prioritize public health interventions and resource allocation for reduction of disease. Our objectives were to compile estimates of AGI burden associated with natural water recreation, identify knowledge gaps in water recreation epidemiology, and evaluate methods applicable for developing a burden estimate for Canada.

Objectives: The burden of disease associated with acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) in Canada is estimated to be ~ 20 million cases/year. One known risk factor for developing AGI is recreation in freshwater bodies such as lakes. The proportion of cases attributable to freshwater recreation in Canada, however, is currently unknown.

Article Synopsis
- In three clinical trials involving 142 participants with Pompe disease, 17 were deemed suitable for home infusion of avalglucosidase alfa, receiving a total of 419 supervised infusions.
- The majority of participants with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) experienced non-serious adverse events, while those with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) did not report any adverse effects.
- The safety and adverse event rates during home infusion were comparable to those during clinic infusions, indicating that home administration is feasible and safe for stable patients with a prior good infusion history.
