Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, like those used in diabetic retinopathy screening, require large amounts of data to train. Models for diseases with limited public data like microbial keratitis (MK), a top five cause of blindness...
Background: Most breast reconstructions following mastectomy utilize a two-stage tissue expander (TE) to implant approach. Prior studies on both prepectoral and subpectoral breast reconstructions have identified formulas for predicting final implant...
Background: Race, sex, and age have been shown to influence disparities in work relative value units (wRVUs) generated during adult dermatology encounters.1 Our study investigates whether similar influences exist in pediatric dermatology visits....
Background: In some patients who receive a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) does not improve.
Methods: We analyzed patients enrolled in the REVERSE, MADIT-CRT, and BLOCK-HF trials,...
Background. Food insecurity is associated with increased adiposity, obesity-related comorbidities, and lower socioeconomic status. Body composition is commonly measured by bioelectrical impedance; however, artificial intelligence now allows for...
Background
Short-term nutritional ketosis may be associated with prolonged latency to central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNSOT). Ketone food product administration may raise ketone levels more quickly and predictably than dietary modification,...
Background: Distress is common among cancer patients, and impacts morbidity and mortality. Head and neck cancer (HNC) is considered one of the most emotionally distressing of all cancers, and given the stark racial disparities in HNC outcomes, we...
Traumatic etiology is implicated in up to 12% of the cases of osteoarthritis in the United States. This type of arthritis, termed post traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), has been proposed to be mediated in part through an imbalance in inflammatory...
Background: Parents of neonates with seizures report persistent symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. We aimed to characterize the parent experience of caring for children impacted by neonatal seizures, including longitudinal...
Background: Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation is a known contributor to health inequities, though its impact on the care of people with diabetes is not well characterized. Understanding the contribution of systemic forces that drive disparate...
