Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a theory-based framework to enhance and accelerate development, selection, and implementation of solutions mitigating the climate impact of healthcare organizations.
Materials And Methods: Existing frameworks were combined to develop the Green-MIssion (Medical Informatics Solutions) framework. It was further developed and refined by mapping solutions from project plans and reviewing it with an expert panel.
Results: The framework classifies solutions into three categories: (1) monitor and measure environmental impact of a healthcare setting; (2) help create and increase awareness among employees and patients; and (3) interventions to reduce environmental impacts.
Discussion And Conclusion: The framework combines concepts from healthcare information technology and environmental sciences and can be used to structure green medical informatics solutions for different healthcare settings. Furthermore, research should evaluate its application for measuring and assessing the impact of green medical informatics solutions on environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

Following myocardial infarction (MI), the accumulation of CD86-positive macrophages in the ischemic injury zone leads to secondary myocardial damage. Precise pharmacological intervention targeting this process remains challenging. This study engineered a nanotherapeutic delivery system with CD86-positive macrophage-specific targeting and ultrasound-responsive release capabilities.

The identification of immune environments and cellular interactions in the colon microenvironment is essential for understanding the mechanisms of chronic inflammatory disease. Despite occurring in the same organ, there is a significant gap in understanding the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis (UC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Our study aims to address the distinct immunopathological response of UC and CRC.

Accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cancer using CT scan images is critical for early detection and treatment, potentially saving numerous lives globally. Manual identification of pancreatic tumors by radiologists is challenging and time-consuming due to the complex nature of CT scan images and variations in tumor shape, size, and location of the pancreatic tumor also make it challenging to detect and classify different types of tumors. Thus, to address this challenge we proposed a four-stage framework of computer-aided diagnosis systems.

Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in critically ill patients, affecting up to 50% of patients in the intensive care units. The lack of standardized and open-source tools for applying the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria to time series, requires researchers to implement classification algorithms of their own which is resource intensive and might impact study quality by introducing different interpretations of edge cases. This project introduces pyAKI, an open-source pipeline addressing this gap by providing a comprehensive solution for consistent KDIGO criteria implementation.

Objective: To examine the longitudinal associations of optical spectral transmission (OST) with clinical inflammatory arthritis activity markers in order to investigate its potential in monitoring disease activity.
Methods: OST measurements were performed in 1,312 wrist and finger joints of 60 patients with clinical suspicion of inflammatory activity, within the context of known rheumatic inflammatory diseases at two separate time intervals. In each time point, patients underwent additional clinical and laboratory examinations.
