BACKGROUND: In neurosurgical practice, continuous care after discharge and the ability to detect subtle indicators of clinical deterioration are mandatory to prevent the progression of a disease. The care of 'unknown' patients discharged to rehabilitation homes may not have this privilege, especially in resource-poor countries such as India. OBJECTIVE: We have attempted to study the causes and outcomes of re-admissions of 'unknown' patients with previous traumatic brain injury (TBI) to estimate the quality of nursing care in our rehabilitation centers...

A decline in routine vaccinations, attributed to vaccine hesitancy, undermines preventative healthcare, impacting health and exacerbating vaccine disparities. University-public health partnerships can improve vaccination services. This study describes and evaluates a university-public health use case employing social determinants of health (SDoH)-based strategies to address vaccination disparities. Guided by the Translational Science Benefits Logic Model, the partnership offered no-cost preventative vaccines at community-based organization (CBO) sites, collected CBO clientele's vaccination interest, hesitancy, and demographic data, and conducted descriptive analyses...

OBJECTIVE: α-Klotho is a potential biological marker of aging with satisfactory clinical applicability. However, its prognostic significance in age-related diseases has largely been undermined. Therefore, we aimed to report the prognostic value of serum α-klotho levels in age-related diseases. METHODS: Participants with available serum α-klotho data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2016) were included. Their survival status was collected at 7...

Social support via Internet communication technology for diabetes self-management: a scoping review.
Danielle Hazime, Elizabeth Burner
BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of diabetes has been increasing over the past 30 years, leading to a rise in complications; diabetes is the leading cause of amputations, blindness, and kidney failure in developed countries. Diabetes self-management is challenging due to the complex lifestyle changes required. Social support from family and friends plays a crucial role in overcoming barriers to healthy behavior choices. Integrating Internet and communication technologies with social support interventions has the potential to improve diabetes self-management...

Multimorbidity, the presence of 2 or more chronic conditions in a person at the same time, is an increasing public health concern, which affects individuals through reduced health related quality of life, and society through increased need for healthcare services. Yet the structure of chronic conditions in individuals with multimorbidity, viewed as a population, is largely unmapped. We use algorithmic diagnoses and the K-means algorithm to cluster the entire 2015 Danish multimorbidity population into 5 clusters...

BACKGROUND: Despite substantial economic growth in Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) over the past 20 years, high levels of income inequality and poverty persist and have likely been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we use novel survey data to assess the extent to which socioeconomic status is associated with access to quality care in Lao PDR. METHODS: We utilised data from the Lao People's Voice Survey (PVS), which was designed to measure health system performance from the perspective of the population...

Ambulance handover delays arise when emergency departments become overcrowded as patients waiting prolonged periods for admission occupy clinical cubicles designed to facilitate the assessment and treatment of emergency arrivals. In response, many organisations become reliant on temporarily lodging acutely unwell patients awaiting admission in undesignated areas for care such as corridors, to provide additional space. This results in a significant risk of avoidable harm, indignity and psychological trauma for patients and has a negative effect on the well-being of healthcare professionals, since unacceptable standards of care become normalised...

INTRODUCTION: The inflammatory response to burn injuries can lead to organ dysfunction that ultimately results in increased mortality and morbidity. This meta-analysis was conducted to determine the efficacy of inflammatory biomarkers, including the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), procalcitonin (PCT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as predictive tools of mortality among burn patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The biomarker levels of survivors and non-survivors were consolidated according to guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)...

Healthcare data are an important resource in applied medical research. They are available multicentrically. However, it remains a challenge to enable standardized data exchange processes between federal states and their individual laws and regulations. The Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) was founded in 2016 to implement processes that enable cross-clinic access to healthcare data in Germany. Several working groups (WGs) have been set up to coordinate standardized data structures (WG Interoperability), patient information and declarations of consent (WG Consent), and regulations on data exchange (WG Data Sharing)...

BACKGROUND: Arsenic is a well-known toxin which may contaminate household water. It is harmful when ingested over prolonged periods of time. As a result, public health experts recommend that water should be screened and treated to prevent arsenic ingestion. In the United States, the responsibility of testing and treatment of private wells falls on homeowners. Despite recommendations for routine screening, this is rarely done. OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of well water use in a Midwestern patient population, how patients and clinicians perceive the risks of arsenic in well water, and whether additional resources on well water testing are desired...

BACKGROUND: In December 2019, the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) led to the COVID-19 pandemic, with millions of deaths worldwide. Vaccine breakthroughs in late 2020 resulted in the authorization of COVID-19 vaccines. While these vaccines have demonstrated efficacy, evidence from vaccine safety monitoring systems around the globe supported a causal association between COVID-19 vaccines, in particular those using mRNA technology, i.e., Moderna's mRNA-1273 and Pfizer-BioNTech's BNT162b2, and myocarditis...
