AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the need to address HIV-related health issues in underrepresented minority populations by integrating mentoring and systemic barriers as part of research efforts.
- It argues for a coordinated approach that combines research on social-structural factors with mentoring to enhance diversity in the research workforce focused on HIV comorbidities.
- The authors conclude that while having a diverse research workforce is essential, it is not enough on its own; systemic and structural changes are also needed to improve outcomes and reduce the impact of comorbidities.
Article Abstract
HIV-related comorbidities in underrepresented minority populations are reframed to include the co-occurring problems of systemic and structural barriers, within the mentoring context as a buffer and as action-oriented. This framework is discussed to improve racial and ethnic minority diversity in the research workforce from the perspectives of HIV comorbidities and mentoring. An integrated and coordinated approach to HIV-related comorbidities and inequities may be helpful when combined with research on the social-structural contributions as drivers to diversify the research workforce. We emphasize how these key research issues (a) provide a platform for training and retraining a highly motivated, diverse workforce and (b) facilitate the empowerment of these trained individuals to conduct rigorous scientific research on social-structural factors to mitigate the effects of these comorbidities. We conclude that a diverse research workforce is necessary but insufficient for improving training-related outcomes or reducing comorbidity effects. Additional considerations are warranted that include systemic approaches and changes at the structural and institutional levels.

Mortality prediction after major surgery in a mixed population through machine learning: a multi-objective symbolic regression approach.

Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, University College London, London, UK.
Introduction: Understanding 1-year mortality following major surgery offers valuable insights into patient outcomes and the quality of peri-operative care. Few models exist that predict 1-year mortality accurately. This study aimed to develop a predictive model for 1-year mortality in patients undergoing complex non-cardiac surgery using a novel machine-learning technique called multi-objective symbolic regression.

Background: The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) is a frequently used mortality predictor based on a scoring system for the number and type of patient comorbidities health researchers have used since the late 1980s. The initial purpose of the CCI was to classify comorbid conditions, which could alter the risk of patient mortality within a 1-year time frame. However, the CCI may not accurately reflect risk among American Indians because they are a small proportion of the US population and possibly lack representation in the original patient cohort.

Purpose: The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluation of scaphoid nonunion may be an example of low-value imaging for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion. The purpose of this study was to investigate variation in MRI use for scaphoid nonunion, the association of MRI with a vascularized bone graft (VBG) and to develop consensus on MRI use for scaphoid nonunion.
Methods: We identified patients >18 years of age who underwent scaphoid nonunion surgery between 2010 and 2019 using a claims database.

Advanced practice nurses (APNs) have been responding to worldwide changing patient comorbidities, inequalities within access to care, and a shortage of primary care physicians. The scope of practice for these nurses has been expanding internationally but varies across different jurisdictions. For a period of time during the COVID-19 pandemic, APN trainees' opportunities to work with international mentors in-person were limited.

This paper reviews the distinct clinical, pathophysiological, and therapeutic challenges faced by older women undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Older women present with a greater comorbidity burden, smaller coronary vessels, and post-menopausal hormonal changes, which increase procedural complexity and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Despite these challenges, older women are less likely to receive evidence-based therapies, resulting in higher risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and bleeding.
