Policy and regulation seldom keep up with advances in technology. Although data de-identification is seen as a key to protecting one's data, re-identification is often possible. Whether one's data is to be used for care, research, or commercial purposes, individuals are concerned about the use of their information. The authors propose the concept of an information fiduciary for holders of data, describe how it might be applied in a health care context, and outline considerations to determine whether a holder of health care-related information should be regarded as an information fiduciary.

Malaria is a major public healthcare concern worldwide, representing a leading cause of death in specific regions. The gold standard for diagnosis is microscopic analysis, but this requires a laboratory setting, trained staff, and infrastructure and is therefore typically slow and dependent on the experience of the technician. This study introduces, for the first time, a biomimetic sensing platform for the direct detection of the disease.

ECG Patterns of Occlusion Myocardial Infarction: A Narrative Review.

Ann Emerg Med

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN; Department of Emergency Medicine, Hennepin Healthcare, Minneapolis, MN.

The traditional management of acute coronary syndrome has relied on the identification of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as a proxy of acute coronary occlusion. This conflation of STEMI with acute coronary occlusion has historically overshadowed non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), despite evidence suggesting 25% to 34% of NSTEMI cases may also include acute coronary occlusion. Current limitations in the STEMI/NSTEMI binary framework underscore the need for a revised approach to chest pain and acute coronary syndrome management.

Self-Collected Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections: A National Text Message Survey of Adolescents and Young Adults.

January 2025

University of Michigan Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ann Arbor, Michigan; Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan; Department of Health Behavior and Health Equity, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Electronic address:

Purpose: We aimed to analyze adolescent and young adults' (AYAs) perspectives on using sexually transmitted infection (STI) self-collection kits to help guide the provision and implementation of accessible and confidential reproductive health-care services for those who experience the burden of STIs and STI-related morbidity.

Methods: We utilized MyVoice, a nationwide text message survey of AYAs, to pose 6 open-ended questions on their perceptions and use of STI self-collection kits. Two independent reviewers used inductive content analysis to develop a codebook and analyze responses, and a third settled any coding discrepancies through discussion to reach consensus.
