Text-mining algorithms can identify the most prevalent factors of risk-benefit assessment on the use of complementary and integrative health approaches that are found in healthcare professionals' written notes. The aims of this study were to discover the key factors of decision-making on patients' complementary and integrative health use by healthcare professionals and to build a consensus-derived decision algorithm on the benefit-risk assessment of complementary and integrative health use in diabetes. The retrospective study of an archival dataset used a text-mining method designed to extract and analyze unstructured textual data from healthcare professionals' responses. The techniques of classification, clustering, and extraction were performed with 1398 unstructured clinical notes made by healthcare professionals between 2019 and 2020. The most important factor for decision-making by healthcare professionals about complementary and integrative health use in patients with diabetes was the ingredients of the product. Other important factors were the patient's diabetes control, the undesirable effects from complementary and integrative health, evidence-based complementary and integrative health, medical laboratory data, and the product's affordability. This exploratory text-mining study provides insight into how healthcare professionals decide complementary and integrative health use for patients with diabetes after a risk-benefit assessment from clinical narrative notes.

In 2018, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) established the original 19 Headache Centers of Excellence (HCoE) program, and an evaluation center. This study utilized a Veteran engagement group method to elicit input from Veteran patients living with chronic headache on daily needs, social determinants of health, and preferences and suggestions for headache programs, services, and research priorities. Four engagement groups were conducted between July 13 and August 22 of 2022 with Veterans who experience headache and received care at a VHA HCoE.

Leveraging a computational drug repurposing framework that integrates disease-relevant genetically regulated gene expression (GReX) and large longitudinal electronic medical record (EMR) databases can expedite the repositioning of existing medications. However, validating computational predictions of the drug repurposing framework remains a challenge.

Significance: Functional brain imaging experiments in awake animals require meticulous monitoring of animal behavior to screen for spontaneous behavioral events. Although these events occur naturally, they can alter cell signaling and hemodynamic activity in the brain and confound functional brain imaging measurements.
Aim: We developed a centralized, user-friendly, and stand-alone platform that includes an animal fixation frame, compact peripheral sensors, and a portable data acquisition system.

The present article reviews the emerging role of melatonin (MT) and the Hippo-Yes-associated protein signaling pathway in periodontal regeneration, highlighting their potential to delay the aging process of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Oxidative stress and cellular senescence are major obstacles in regenerative therapies, especially in an aging population. MT, a potent antioxidant, restores the morphology, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLSCs under oxidative stress conditions.

However, signal integrity can be compromised due to the complex cyclic staining processes inherent to MxIF. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, on the other hand, offers complementary information through its depiction of cell morphology and texture patterns and is often visually cross-referenced with MxIF in clinical settings.
