Exploring the Complexity of Telehealth Privacy Through a Lens of Adolescent Development.

Many challenges exist related to ensuring adolescent privacy with health care providers (HCPs), and the rapid integration of telehealth visits has created additional complexities in organizing privacy for adolescents. Through interviews with adolescent patients and their parents ( = 34), this qualitative analysis aimed to explore the complicated relationship and balance of adolescent alone time with HCPs, parental presence and support, and organization of privacy in order to consider how privacy during telehealth visits may contribute to adolescents' healthy development.

D-dimer Thresholds to Exclude Pulmonary Embolism among COVID-19 Patients in the Emergency Department: Derivation with Independent Validation.

Objective: To derive and validate a D-dimer cutoff for ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE) in COVID-19 patients presenting to the emergency department (ED).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in an integrated healthcare system including 22 adult ED's between March 1, 2020, and January 31, 2021. Results were validated among patients enrolled in the RECOVER Registry, representing data from 154 ED's from 26 US states.

Factors Predisposing to Post Dural Puncture Headache in Children.

Background: Knowledge of the factors that predispose to postdural puncture headache in children may help reduce the occurrence of this complication.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study of children who presented to the study institution between 2010 and 2018 was conducted. Children were divided into 2 groups: those who experienced postdural puncture headache and those who did not.

Characterization of the Expression of Vacuolar Protein Sorting 11 (Vps11) in Mammalian Oligodendrocytes.

A founder mutation in human () was recently linked to a genetic leukoencephalopathy in Ashkenazi Jews that presents with the classical features of white matter disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). The neurological deficits include hypomyelination, hypotonia, gradual loss of vision, and seizures. However, the cells expressing the mutation were not identified.

Safety and efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage: A proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial.

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning can promote hematoma resolution, attenuate brain edema, and improve neurological recovery in animal models of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, controlled trial, 40 subjects with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage presenting within 24-48 h of onset were randomly assigned to receive medical therapy plus remote ischemic conditioning for consecutive seven days or medical therapy alone.

Telemedicine in International Cleft Care: A Systematic Review.

Background: Cleft lip and cleft palate (CLP) are among the world's most common congenital malformation and has a higher prevalence in developing nations due to environmental and genetic factors. Global efforts have been developed in order to prevent and treat the malformation. Telemedicine has been implemented in various humanitarian global missions with success and is currently the primary means of care due to COVID-19.

Gastric Cancer Heterogeneity and Clinical Outcomes.

Gastric adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive disease with poor overall survival. The aggressive nature of this disease is in part due to the high intra and inter tumoral heterogeneity and also due to the late diagnosis at presentation. Once progression occurs, treatment is more difficult due to the adaptation of tumors, which acquires resistance to commonly used chemotherapeutics.
