"They Need to Feel Non-Judgmental": Results of Participatory Photovoice Research to Inform Lung Cancer Screening Imagery.

Introduction: Effective communication and messaging strategies are crucial to raise awareness and support participants' efforts to adhere to lung cancer screening (LCS) guidelines. Health messages that incorporate images are processed more efficiently, and given the stigma surrounding lung cancer and cigarette smoking, emphasis must be placed on selecting imagery that is engaging to LCS-eligible individuals. This exploratory study aimed to identify person-centered themes surrounding LCS imagery.

Barriers and facilitators of the use of clinical informatics resources to facilitate pharmacogenomic implementation in resource-limited settings.

Objective: Understand perceived barriers to and facilitators of using clinical informatics applications for pharmacogenomic (PGx) implementation in resource-limited settings.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a qualitative research study using a semi-structured interview guide informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Interview questions assessed CFIR contextual determinants related to: electronic health record (EHR) infrastructure; clinical informatics personnel and resources; EHR integration of PGx test results; PGx clinical decision support (CDS) tools; institutional resources; and partner receptivity.

Hand Surgical Operating Room Size Allocation: A Comparative Space Utilisation Study.

This study evaluated operating room (OR) space required for various hand surgical procedures. We analysed the size requirements for hand surgical cases divided into four settings: (1) large OR setting requiring fluoroscopy and microsurgical equipment, (2) medium-sized OR setting for cases requiring fluoroscopy, (3) smaller OR setting and (4) minor procedural room without anaesthesia with the aim to describe room size requirements for hand surgery practices. A variety of hand surgical cases were selected: large cases (microvascular digit replantation), medium-sized cases (closed reduction percutaneous pinning [CRPP] of phalangeal fractures) and smaller cases (carpal tunnel release [CTR]) with and without anaesthesia.

Neck range of motion prognostic factors in association with shoulder and elbow injuries in professional baseball pitchers.

Background: The authors observed an association between cervical spine mobility and arm injury risk in baseball players; however, there is a need to assess the generalizability of cervical measurement data. Assessing the downstream associations of cervical dysfunction on shoulder and elbow injuries can inform clinical interventions to help reduce future arm injuries. The purpose of this study was to assess the generalizability of neck range of motion measures as arm injury prognostic factors in professional baseball pitchers.

Association Between Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Outcomes of Emergency Tracheal Intubation: A Secondary Analysis of Randomized Trials.

Study Objective: To examine the association between the neuromuscular blocking agent received (succinylcholine versus rocuronium) and the incidences of successful intubation on the first attempt and severe complications during tracheal intubation of critically ill adults in an emergency department (ED) or ICU.

Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data from 2 multicenter randomized trials in critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation in an ED or ICU. Using a generalized linear mixed-effects model with prespecified baseline covariates, we examined the association between the neuromuscular blocking agent received (succinylcholine versus rocuronium) and the incidences of successful intubation on the first attempt (primary outcome) and severe complications during tracheal intubation (secondary outcome).

Identifying and quantifying exposures involving counterfeit opioid analgesic products.

Introduction: The increasing presence of counterfeit opioid drugs in the United States can contaminate data collection systems and confound estimates derived from surveillance of the opioid epidemic. Data sources and analyses that can quantify the contribution of counterfeit opioid products are needed to provide accurate and timely data to inform public health responses. We describe a novel approach to identify and quantify intentional abuse and misuse exposures involving suspected counterfeit opioid products in United States poison center data.

Neural substrates for saccadic modulation of visual representations in mouse superior colliculus.

How do sensory systems account for stimuli generated by natural behavior? We addressed this question by examining how an ethologically relevant class of saccades modulates visual representations in the mouse superior colliculus (SC), a key region for sensorimotor integration. We quantified saccadic modulation by recording SC responses to visual probes presented at stochastic saccade-probe latencies. Saccades significantly impacted population representations of the probes, with early enhancement that began prior to saccades and pronounced suppression for several hundred milliseconds following saccades, independent of units' visual response properties or directional tuning.

Ear disease, hearing loss, and cognitive outcomes in high school children who were previous participants in a randomized placebo controlled trial of an 11 valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine administered in infancy.

Background: The WHO estimates that close to 1.7 billion people worldwide have hearing loss; 34 million of whom are children, with 90% residing in low- and middle-income countries. While the effects of ear disease and hearing loss on language, academic, and behavioral development are established, there is remarkably little data on intellectual and other cognitive differences.
