In today's world of smart-device monitoring systems, clinicians may be lulled into the assumption that we can download software to monitor our patients' psychological and behavioral functioning with little or no effort or follow-up. This belief is as erroneous as it is tempting; in fact, implementing effective and efficient systems for utilizing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in daily practice and research takes a virtual village of stakeholders, clinicians, developers, analysts, and clinical researchers. Here, we describe the iterative processes required for designing, implementing, and updating a large-scale inpatient psychiatric quality improvement/research platform that provides real-time feedback to clinicians and patients. During the past 10 years, many surprises and counterintuitive discoveries have emerged from this project, not the least of which is how difficult it is to establish and maintain "buy-in" and the utilization of PROs with busy clinicians and administrators. Methods for prioritizing and structuring data for different uses, including examining the effectiveness of treatment programs, identifying moderators of change, and improving treatment planning by developing algorithms to alert clinicians to adverse outcomes, are highlighted. The authors conclude by describing a new venture to integrate biological data and between-visit PROs monitoring to enhance well-being and reduce emergency department and hospital admissions for high-risk patients.

- Brain tumors (BT), both benign and malignant, pose a substantial impact on human health and need precise and early detection for successful treatment. Analysing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image is a common method for BT diagnosis and segmentation, yet misdiagnoses yield effective medical responses, impacting patient survival rates. Recent technological advancements have popularized deep learning-based medical image analysis, leveraging transfer learning to reuse pre-trained models for various applications.

Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is commonly used for diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Despite a low complication rate, severe hemorrhage can occur which is reported in this literature, particularly in hypervascular conditions like Castleman disease.

Methods: A 54-year-old male with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease underwent EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymph node sampling.

Background And Objectives: Gingivitis and periodontitis are common periodontal diseases that can significantly harm overall oral health, affecting the teeth and their supporting tissues, along with the surrounding anatomical structures, and if left untreated, leading to the total destruction of the alveolar bone and the connective tissues, tooth loss, and other more serious systemic health issues. Numerous studies have shown that propolis can help reduce gum inflammation, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and promote tissue regeneration, but with varying degrees of success reported. For this reason, this comprehensive systematic review aims at finding out the truth concerning the efficacy of propolis mouthwashes in treating gingivitis and periodontitis, as its main objective.
