Improving Oral–Systemic Healthcare through the Interoperability of Electronic Medical and Dental Records: An Exploratory Study

2019

Objectives Electronic health records (EHRs) are rarely shared among medical and dental providers. The purpose of this study was to assess current information sharing and the value of improved electronic information sharing among physicians and dentists in Germany and the United States. Materials and Methods A survey was validated and distributed electronically to physicians and dentists at four academic medical centers. Respondents were asked anonymously about EHR use and the medical and dental information most valuable to their practice. Results There were 118 responses, a response rate of 23.2%. The majority (63.9%) of respondents were dentists and the remainder were physicians. Most res…

Inpatient Step Counts, Symptom Severity, and Perceived Health Status After Lung Resection Surgery.

2020

BACKGROUND The clinical relevance of inpatient step counts after lung surgery remains unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify those factors related to physical activity measured by step count, during the inpatient stay, and its relationship with symptom severity and perceived health status at hospital admission, discharge, and 1 month after discharge. METHODS We studied the inpatient step count of 73 participants who underwent lung resection surgery. The number of steps was measured using a triaxial accelerometer. The health status and the severity of symptoms were examined at hospital admission, discharge, and 1 month after discharge. RESULTS Of the 73 participants, 35 wer…

Clinicogenetic Risk Models in Patients Randomized to Receive Consolidative Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation after Frontline R-CHOP for Advanced F…

2018

Abstract Introduction: Advanced follicular lymphoma (FL) is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous disease. About 20% of patients have early progression of disease (POD) and short overall survival (OS). We have previously shown that integration of lymphoma-specific gene mutations and clinical factors improves pretreatment risk stratification (Pastore, 2015) and prediction of early POD (i.e., within 24 months, POD24; Jurinovic, 2016). Recently, we have shown that high-dose therapy (HDT) followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is an effective treatment option for eligible patients with high-risk disease as defined by POD24 (Jurinovic, 2018). Here, we aimed to explore wheth…

Internet use by Patients with Psychiatric Disorders Searching for Medical Information

2009

Aims:Despite the increasing use of the Internet to seek medical information, little is known about the web search for mental health information among psychiatric patients. We aimed to identify the patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics that better predict the search for medical information, as well as the most consulted aspects of psychiatric disorders.Method:Over a one-month period, a consecutive series of patients followed at one Spanish hospital psychiatric outpatient clinic completed a 13-item questionnaire about their personal Internet use.Results:Among the 144 participating patients (72% women), 61% reported having ever used the Internet, with lower search rates for genera…

Current Status of Epibulbar Anti-glaucoma Drainage Devices in Glaucoma Surgery

2012

SUMMARY Background: The term “glaucoma” covers a hetero geneous group of progressive optic neuropathies that are accompanied by characteristic visual-field defects. Primary open-angle glaucoma, the most common type, progresses insidiously and causes blindness if untreated. All current forms of treatment aim at lowering the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients whose IOP is elevated. The implantation of anti-glaucoma drainage systems is one of the available options for surgical treatment. Methods: This review is based on pertinent literature retrieved by a selective search, including glaucoma treatment guidelines from Germany and abroad. Results: A paradigm shift is currently underway regar…

Intravenöse Eisensubstitution bei chronischer Erkrankung – bei wem, wann und wie?

2019

ZusammenfassungIn den letzten Jahren konnten wesentliche Fortschritte in der Erkennung und Behandlung des Eisenmangels erzielt werden, deren Ergebnisse auch für viele Fachgebiete und insbesondere mit Patienten mit chronisch-entzündlichen Erkrankungen relevant sind. Allerdings wird in der täglichen Praxis ein Eisenmangel vielfach nicht identifiziert und konsequent therapiert.Ein Eisenmangel kann – auch bevor eine Anämie auftritt – die Lebensqualität einschränken und den Verlauf der Grunderkrankung beeinflussen. Bei Patienten mit chronischen Erkrankungen sollte der Eisenstatus regelmäßig erfasst werden. Gerade bei Patienten mit chronisch-entzündlichen Erkrankungen sind die derzeit verfügbaren…
