We previously implemented paper-based screening for health-related social resource needs (HRSN) in our gynecologic oncology clinic and found that 36% of patients who completed the screening reported H...
A multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians, a health outcomes researcher, a computer programmer, project assistants, and the staff of a partner community organization designed and implemented a...
Screening compliance increased from the baseline of 52% (paper-based) to 97% in PDSA 4. Completion via the online patient portal increased from 17% in prelaunch to 49% in PDSA 4. Of patients who repor...
Compared with paper-based screening, an EMR-integrated HRSN screening and referral system significantly improved reach to patients at a gynecologic oncology clinic. Implementation efforts to expand to...
The United Nations has projected a 218% increase in older people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) between 2019 and 2050, underscoring the need to explore changes that would occur over this time. Longitudin...
This paper is the third of a four-part series paper of a previous systematic mapping review of aging studies in SSA. We updated the search (between 2021 and 2023) and screened the titles/abstracts and...
We identified 193 studies leveraging 24 longitudinal study data sets conducted at 28 unique sites. The World Health Organization's Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (WHO-SAGE) (...
Longitudinal studies on aging are sparingly being utilized in SSA. Most analyses conducted across the longitudinal data set were cross-sectional, which hindered the understanding of aging changes that...
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a multifaceted condition with a broad spectrum of manifestations and a range of associated comorbidities. A notable segment of patients with PsA remains resistant to even ...
To collate and critically assess the various definitions and criteria of difficult-to-treat (D2T PsA present in the literature....
Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, we conducted a scoping review in July 2023, searching PubMed, Americ...
From the 565 references sourced, 15 studies were analysed, revealing considerable variations in defining both 'active disease' and 'resistant PsA', which was most often termed 'D2T' PsA....
The definitions and criteria for D2T PsA and for 'active disease' are notably heterogeneous, with considerable variation across sources. The ongoing Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and ...
Nodes in the structural hole position play a key role in the multi-project network of the open source community (OSC). This paper studies the robustness of this network based on structural hole theory...
Quality standards have been recognized as an important tool for improving the quality of drug use prevention, treatment, and harm reduction services and for bridging the gap between science and practi...
Clinical imaging studies have revealed that the hypothalamus is activated in migraine patients prior to the onset of and during headache and have also shown that the hypothalamus has increased functio...
Relapse into substance use is often triggered by exposure to drug-related environmental cues. The magnitude of drug seeking depends on the duration of abstinence, a phenomenon known as the incubation ...
We investigated the role of the anterior insular cortex (aIC) and its glutamatergic projection to amygdala nuclei (aIC-AMY) on the expression of conditioned place preference (CPP) during early and lat...
Male adult C57BL/6J mice underwent amphetamine-induced CPP, and their preference was tested following 1 or 14 days of abstinence. aIC and aIC-AMY functional role in CPP expression was assessed at both...
Compared to a single day, an exacerbated preference for the amphetamine-paired context was observed after 14 days of abstinence. Photoinhibition of either aIC or aIC-AMY projection reduced CPP express...
These results suggest that aIC and its glutamatergic output to amygdala nuclei constitute critical neurobiological substrates mediating enhanced motivational cue reactivity during the incubation of am...
Optical projection tomography (OPT) reconstruction using a minimal number of measured views offers the potential to significantly reduce excitation dosage and greatly enhance temporal resolution in bi...
There have been recurring UK initiatives to increase nurse research capability but little robust evaluation of long-term effectiveness. More nurses undertake doctorates, yet few lead major funded proj...
To explore the perceptions of nurse lead-investigators about what has helped or hindered them to lead funded research projects....
Lead investigators of research projects from major UK funders (1 Apr 2017-Sept 2022) were identified from publicly available data. University profiles were screened to identify registered nurses. Enti...
A total of 65 nurse-lead investigators were identified, 36 (55%) completed the survey (20 December 2022 to 17 February 2023). Participants identified Building (multi-disciplinary) collaborations and m...
Ensuring access to mentors with an established track record is an important component of schemes to increase research capability in nurses. Funded, protected time for research and career structures th...
Interdisciplinary collaboration and mentorship by experienced researchers are critical to success and should be incorporated into future interventions to increase research capability in nurses. No pat...
The COVID-19 pandemic social distancing forced a shift from Face-to-Face (F2F) to virtual work sessions, applying innovative digital tools. These tools have previously been neglected, mainly due to a ...
