This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the Emory Health AI (Artificial Intelligence) Bias Datathon held in August 2023, providing insights into the experiences gained during the event. The datathon, focusing on health-related issues, attracted diverse participants, including professionals, researchers, and students from various backgrounds. The paper discusses the preparation, organization, and execution of the datathon, detailing the registration process, team formulation, dataset creation, and logistical aspects. We also explore the achievements and personal experiences of participants, highlighting their resilience, dedication, and innovative contributions. The findings include a breakdown of participant demographics, responses to post-event surveys, and participant backgrounds. Observing the trends, we believe the lessons learned, and the overall impact of the Emory Health AI Bias Datathon on the participants and the field of health data science will contribute significantly in organizing future datathons.

A Retrospective Comparison of Cephalomedullary Nail Fixation of Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures Treated With Locked Versus Backed-off Set Screws.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

March 2025

From the Department of Orthopaedics, Denver Health Medical Center, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, CO (Ward), and the Department of Orthopaedics, Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA (Parry).

Introduction: Excessive lag screw sliding after cephalomedullary nail fixation of intertrochanteric fractures can be problematic. Set screws are typically inserted to engage the lag screw and backed off to allow for sliding. The purpose of this study was to determine whether statically locking set screws affected lag screw sliding or cutout.

Lipotoxicity, resulting from the buildup of excess lipids in non-adipose tissues, is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to the progression of kidney disease, highlighting the need for alternative models to assess its effects on renal cells. The main aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of Caki-1, a human proximal tubule (PT) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) representative cell line, as a 3D model system for studying free fatty acid-induced PT lipotoxicity. Caki-1 spheroids were generated and maintained on ultra-low attachment plates and characterized regarding time-dependent morphology changes.

Smoke-free homes (SFHs) reduce secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe), which is particularly crucial where smoking prevalence is high and public smoke-free policies are nascent, as in some low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study examined perspectives regarding SFHs, including barriers and facilitators, among adults in Armenia, a LMIC with high male smoking prevalence and recently-implemented smoke-free policies. In February-March 2024, focus groups were conducted with adults reporting smoking and non-smoking, separately, in two Armenian communities ( = 39; = 41.

Unlabelled: Identification of early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a challenge due to limited specialist availability, diagnostic access, disease awareness, and cultural factors. Blood-based biomarkers (BBBM) could play a critical role in the identification and referral of patients suspected of AD to specialty care. A multidisciplinary AD Biomarker Task Force was convened to evaluate current biomarker use cases, define an optimal biomarker-enabled AD diagnostic care pathway, and understand factors impacting adoption.

Background: Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability worldwide, with approximately 30% of strokes remaining cryptogenic. One potential important etiology is a patent foramen ovale (PFO), which may contribute to stroke through paradoxical thromboembolism or thromboembolus formation. Recent advancements in robot-assisted transcranial Doppler (raTCD) have shown increased sensitivity in detecting right-to-left shunt (RLS) compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), particularly in detecting the large shunts which are associated with higher stroke risk.
