HIV education: a challenge to adult learning theory and practice.

J Assoc Nurses AIDS Care

New England AIDS Education and Training Center, University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Worcester, USA.

Published: April 1997

While there are enormous bodies of literature that separately address adult learning theory and HIV disease education, there is a scarcity of literature that examines the way adult learning theory and education about HIV disease intersect. The author's focus is on successful, creative methods of combining these bodies of information in order to provide continuing education for health professionals. A review of the literature combined with the reported experience of AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) from across the country identify useful strategies for successful HIV education.

Analysis and validation of serum biomarkers in brucellosis patients through proteomics and bioinformatics.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol

January 2025

Department of Clinical Laboratory Medicine Center, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.

Introduction: This study aims to utilize proteomics, bioinformatics, and machine learning algorithms to identify diagnostic biomarkers in the serum of patients with acute and chronic brucellosis.

Methods: Proteomic analysis was conducted on serum samples from patients with acute and chronic brucellosis, as well as from healthy controls. Differential expression analysis was performed to identify proteins with altered expression, while Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was applied to detect co-expression modules associated with clinical features of brucellosis.

Contrastive learning with transformer for adverse endpoint prediction in patients on DAPT post-coronary stent implantation.

Front Cardiovasc Med

January 2025

Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, United States.

Background: Effective management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is crucial for preventing adverse events. Traditional prognostic tools, such as rule-based methods or Cox regression, despite their widespread use and ease, tend to yield moderate predictive accuracy within predetermined timeframes. This study introduces a new contrastive learning-based approach to enhance prediction efficacy over multiple time intervals.

AI-assisted neurocognitive assessment protocol for older adults with psychiatric disorders.

Front Psychiatry

January 2025

Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas, Santa Clara, Villa Clara, Cuba.

Introduction: Evaluating neurocognitive functions and diagnosing psychiatric disorders in older adults is challenging due to the complexity of symptoms and individual differences. An innovative approach that combines the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) with the depth of neuropsychological assessments is needed.

Objectives: This paper presents a novel protocol for AI-assisted neurocognitive assessment aimed at addressing the cognitive, emotional, and functional dimensions of older adults with psychiatric disorders.

Effective contraceptive education is essential to reducing unwanted pregnancy, increasing uptake of modern contraceptive methods, and thoughtfully planning desired births. New World Health Organization (WHO) and family planning organization guidelines recommend situating contraceptive education and counseling within a broader context of self-care that emphasizes individual agency and reproductive empowerment. Digital health interventions, and games for health specifically, have been validated as effective and scalable tools for self-guided and interactive health education, especially among younger tech-savvy individuals.
