AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objectives: To better understand the process of hospital acquisition of innovative medical devices (MDs) and the hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) pathways in France, an in-depth study based on a quantitative approach is needed. The aim of the present study was to assess through a national survey how HB-HTA is currently implemented in French hospitals and to identify its level of formalization.
Methods: A quantitative online survey was conducted among hospitals performing HB-HTA in France, with a focus on the acquisition of innovative MDs for individual use. The survey, conducted between March and June 2022, was developed by a scientific board composed of members of the French-speaking Society for HB-HTA.
Results: Sixty-seven out of 131 surveyed hospitals with HB-HTA activities responded, including 29 university hospitals, 24 nonprofit private hospitals, and 14 local hospitals. Sixty-one respondents (91 percent) reported the existence of a process dedicated to evaluating innovative MDs; of these, 16 declared that their hospitals had a formalized unit with HB-HTA activity. These units were more frequently found in larger hospitals with more than 500 inpatient beds (n = 16, p = 0.0160) and in university hospitals (n = 12, p = 0.0158). No hospital reported any collaboration with HAS, the French national HTA agency.
Conclusion: A diverse range of HB-HTA organizations with different structural levels exist in France for MD procurement linked to the category of hospitals. The study highlights the need for recognition of HB-HTA activity at the regulatory level in France and for direct collaboration between HTA activities performed at local and national levels.

Ligand Inter-Relation Analysis Via Graph Theory Predicts Macrophage Response.

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea University, Seoul, 02841, Republic of Korea.
Graph theory has been widely used to quantitatively analyze complex networks of molecules, materials, and cells. Analyzing the dynamic complex structure of extracellular matrix can predict cell-material interactions but has not yet been demonstrated. In this study, graph theory-based mathematical modeling of RGD ligand graph inter-relation is demonstrated by differentially cutting off RGD-to-RGD interlinkages with flexibly conjugated magnetic nanobars (MNBs) with tunable aspect ratio.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been proven to prevent decline in kidney function and failure. Whether SGLT2i affect the risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) remains uncertain.
Methods: Use of SGLT2i was assessed in consecutive diabetics undergoing coronary angiography (CA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from January 2020 to May 2023 at a tertiary hospital in Chongqing, China.

Background: Cognitive bias plays a crucial role in the onset and persistence of depression. Research has established a link between personality traits and cognitive bias; however, most of them focused on the general population, overlooking individuals with depression. We aim to explore the relationship between personality and cognitive bias in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and compare the results with healthy controls (HCs) to identify potential patterns.
