Attitudes towards digital health technology for the care of people with chronic kidney disease: A technology acceptance model exploration.
PLOS Digit Health

Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth Hospital University Trust, Portsmouth, United Kingdom.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a serious health issue affecting many adults in the UK, and researchers want to see if digital tools can help manage it better.
- A study was done by sending a questionnaire to CKD patients to find out if they think digital technology is easy and useful.
- The results showed that while many people saw the technology as helpful and easy, this didn't always mean they actually used it, highlighting a need to encourage more people to use digital health tools.

Aims: To assess whether left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS), derived from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), is associated with (i) progressive heart failure (HF), and (ii) sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with mildly reduced ejection fraction (DCMmrEF).
Methods And Results: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study of patients with DCM and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥40% assessed by CMR, including feature-tracking to assess LV GLS and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Long-term adjudicated follow-up included (i) HF hospitalization, LV assist device implantation or HF death, and (ii) SCD or aborted SCD (aSCD).

Reduced spontaneous blinking is a recognized Parkinson's disease (PD) feature. In contrast, voluntary blinking has been less studied and might serve as a measurable marker of facial bradykinesia. We tested 31 PD patients and 31 controls.

Practice variation in anastomotic leak after esophagectomy: Unravelling differences in failure to rescue.

Introduction: Failure to rescue (FTR) is an important outcome measure after esophagectomy and reflects mortality after postoperative complications. Differences in FTR have been associated with hospital resection volume. However, insight into how centers manage complications and achieve their outcomes is lacking.

Thus, patient-reported quality of life (QOL) data may guide treatment choices.
Methods: A group of patients within the STAMPEDE trial were contemporaneously enrolled with the possibility of being randomly allocated to receive either docetaxel + SOC or AAP + SOC.
