Healthcare database studies can be complicated. The data itself can be complex. Raw data needs to be transformed into useful variables. Then this analytic file needs to evaluated in an appropriate manner. Plus, the results need to be communicated clearly. What are the key aspects for describing this approach both among members of the research team and to external stakeholders (e.g., journal reviewers and editors). A paper by Wang et al. (2017) provides a nice overview of the components...

According to a paper by Stevens et al. (2020), the answer is ‘yes’. One clear reason why it would change is if the drug’s price changes. Even if that is not the case, however, the drug may be more or less effective over time. For instance, physicians may improve their ability to manage side effects or target dosing to specific patients. The authors call this the impact of “learning by doing”. Using SEER-Medicare data, the authors: …estimated the time‐varying effects of treatments in...

No, that is not a typo. The cost of Bernie Sanders Medicare-for-All (M4A) plan is $13 trillion dollars. How does this stack up to other candidates? The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget does the math. Whereas Mr. Sanders plan would cost $12.95 trillion between 2021 and 2030, Mrs. Warren’s plan would cost $6.1 trillion, still expensive but half of the Sanders plan. Mr. Biden’s health care plan would increase federal deficits by only $0.8 trillion, whereas the Buttigieg plan would...

Abstract Introduction We used data from MOBI-Kids, a 14-country international collaborative case–control study of brain tumors (BTs), to study clinical characteristics of the tumors in older children (10 years or older), adolescents and young adults (up to the age of 24). Methods Information from clinical records was obtained for 899 BT cases, including signs...

Abstract Introduction Opening of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) by pulsed low intensity ultrasound has been developed during the last decade and is now recognized as a safe technique to transiently and repeatedly open the BBB. This non- or minimally invasive technique allows for a targeted and uniform dispersal of a wide range of therapeutic substances throughout the brain, including immune cells and antibodies. ...

Abstract Micropigmentation, also termed medical tattooing, can be a useful alternative treatment for patients with vitiligo who are resistant to conventional treatments. To assess the benefits and risks of micropigmentation in the treatment of refractory vitiligo, 25 lesions of 14 patients with vitiligo (Fitzpatrick skin types III and IV) were subjected to micropigmentation using an electric tattooing machine between December 2018 and March 2019. The procedure was repeated until satisfactory results...

(Colorado State University) Most people know that good oral hygiene - brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits - is linked to good health. Colorado State University microbiome researchers offer fresh evidence to support that conventional wisdom, by taking a close look at invisible communities of microbes that live in every mouth. Their study found a correlation between people who did not visit the dentist regularly and increased presence of a pathogen that causes periodontal disease.

(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, News Bureau) Novel biomedical advances that show promise in the lab often fall short in clinical trials. For researchers studying peripheral artery disease, this is made more difficult by a lack of standardized metrics for what recovery looks like. A new study from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers identifies major landmarks of PAD recovery, creating signposts for researchers seeking to understand the disease and develop treatments.

(Emory Health Sciences) Within hours of birth, a baby's gaze is drawn to faces. Now, brain scans of newborns reveal the neurobiology underlying this behavior, showing that as young as six days old a baby's brain appears hardwired for the specialized tasks of seeing faces and seeing places.
