- Healthcare barriers and quality of life in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia patients
- Description:
- A Northwestern University Capstone Project
- Abstract:
- Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) is a condition known for delayed presentation and treatment. Identifying barriers to care may shorten this delay and improve outcomes. Understanding how CCCA specifically impacts quality of life is also important. Many barriers prevent women with CCCA from obtaining effective dermatological care. Moreover, this condition has a significant impact on patients'quality of life. The objectives of this pilot study were: 1) to elucidate the experience of initial diagnosis for CCCA patients, and 2) to understand how CCCA hair loss affects quality of life. CCCA patients completed a 53-item cross-sectional survey (CCCA Barriers toCare and Quality of Life SurveyCBCQLS) developed by the study investigators. The CBCQLS measured how alopecia was initially discovered, what factors were most important when seeking medical care, how patients felt about their physicians, and how hair loss created challenges in self-esteem and activities of daily living. The CBCQLS was completed in person or by telephone by English-speaking, adult, African-American female patients diagnosed with CCCA at the Northwestern University Department of Dermatology between 2011 and 2017. Participants included 34 African-American women ranging in age from 28 to 79. Respondents median age was 46 (range 28-79); the median age at CCCA diagnosis was 42 (range 15-73). Most (n=22, 65%) first noticed their hair loss themselves, while 15% reported their hairstylist was the first to notice signs of alopecia. Nearly all respondents (n = 31, 91%) recommended that other women with hair loss immediately go see a dermatologist. Some respondents (n=13, 38%) reported their physicians experience with Black hair and CCCA was most important to them as they sought medical care for hair loss. The majority (n=30, 88%)reported their hair loss bothered them. Median QOL score was 4 on a five-point scale, corresponding with an "Agree" response to statements including "I feel embarrassed, self-conscious, or frustrated about my hair loss" and "My hair loss bothers me." CCCA presents a unique set of challenges for women to obtain care. Lack of physician experience with Black hair and CCCA is a barrier to care for many with this disease. Self-esteem of CCCA patients is affected by hair loss.

- Abstract:
- Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic has disrupted structures and communities across the globe. Numerous regions of the world have had varying responses in their attempts to contain the spread of the virus. Factors such as public health policies, governance, and sociopolitical climate have led to differential levels of success at controlling the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Ultimately, a more advanced surveillance metric for COVID-19 transmission is necessary to help government systems and national leaders understand which responses have been effective and gauge where outbreaks occur. Objective: The goal of this study is to provide advanced COVID-19 surveillance metrics for Canada at the country, province, and territory level that account for shifts in the pandemic including speed, acceleration, jerk, and persistence. Enhanced surveillance identifies risks for explosive growth and regions that have controlled outbreaks successfully. Methods: Using a longitudinal trend analysis study design, we extracted 62 days of COVID-19 data from Canadian public health registries for 13 provinces and territories. We used an empirical difference equation to measure the daily number of cases in Canada as a function of the prior number of cases, the level of testing, and weekly shift variables based on a dynamic panel model that was estimated using the generalized method of moments approach by implementing the Arellano-Bond estimator in R. Results: We compare the week of February 7-13, 2021, with the week of February 14-20, 2021. Canada, as a whole, had a decrease in speed from 8.4 daily new cases per 100,000 population to 7.5 daily new cases per 100,000 population. The persistence of new cases during the week of February 14-20 reported 7.5 cases that are a result of COVID-19 transmissions 7 days earlier. The two most populous provinces of Ontario and Quebec both experienced decreases in speed from 7.9 and 11.5 daily new cases per 100,000 population for the week of February 7-13 to speeds of 6.9 and 9.3 for the week of February 14-20, respectively. Nunavut experienced a significant increase in speed during this time, from 3.3 daily new cases per 100,000 population to 10.9 daily new cases per 100,000 population. Conclusions: Canada excelled at COVID-19 control early on in the pandemic, especially during the first COVID-19 shutdown. The second wave at the end of 2020 resulted in a resurgence of the outbreak, which has since been controlled. Enhanced surveillance identifies outbreaks and where there is the potential for explosive growth, which informs proactive health policy.

- SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 Forms Intracellular Aggregates and Inhibits IFN-Induced Antiviral Gene Expression in Human Lung Epithelial Cells
- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Geng H, Subramanian S, Wu LT, Bu HF, Wang X, Du C, De Plaen IG, Tan XD. SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 Forms Intracellular Aggregates and Inhibits IFN gamma-Induced Antiviral Gene Expression in Human Lung Epithelial Cells. Frontiers in Immunology. 2021;12:11.
- Abstract:
- Infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19, a disease that involves significant lung tissue damage. How SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to lung injury remains elusive. The open reading frame 8 (ORF8) protein of SARS-CoV-2 (ORF8(SARS-CoV-2)) is a unique accessory protein, yet little is known about its cellular function. We examined the cellular distribution of ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) and its role in the regulation of human lung epithelial cell proliferation and antiviral immunity. Using live imaging and immunofluorescent staining analyses, we found that ectopically expressed ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) forms aggregates in the cytosol and nuclear compartments of lung epithelial cells. Using in silico bioinformatic analysis, we found that ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) possesses an intrinsic aggregation characteristic at its N-terminal residues 1-18. Cell culture did not reveal any effects of ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) expression on lung epithelial cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, suggesting that ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) aggregates do not affect these cellular processes. Interestingly, ectopic expression of ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) in lung epithelial cells suppressed basal expression of several antiviral molecules, including DHX58, ZBP1, MX1, and MX2. In addition, expression of ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) attenuated the induction of antiviral molecules by IFN gamma but not by IFN beta in lung epithelial cells. Taken together, ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) is a unique viral accessory protein that forms aggregates when expressing in lung epithelial cells. It potently inhibits the expression of lung cellular anti-viral proteins at baseline and in response to IFN gamma in lung epithelial cells, which may facilitate SARS-CoV-2 escape from the host antiviral innate immune response during early viral infection. In addition, it seems that formation of ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) aggregate is independent from the viral infection. Thus, it would be interesting to examine whether any COVID-19 patients exhibit persistent ORF8 SARS-CoV-2 expression after recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. If so, the pathogenic effect of prolonged ORF8(SARS-CoV-2) expression and its association with post-COVID symptoms warrant investigation in the future.

- Abstract:
- Background Systematic reviews (SRs) of computer-assisted (CA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) report conflicting evidence on its superiority over conventional surgery. Little is known about the quality of these SRs; variability in their methodological quality may be a contributing factor. We evaluated the methodological quality of all published SRs to date, summarized and examined the consistency of the evidence generated by these SRs.Methods We searched four databases through December 31, 2018. A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2) was applied to assess the methodological quality. Evidence from included meta-analyses on functional, radiological and patient-safety outcomes was summarized. The corrected covered area was calculated to assess the overlap between SRs in including the primary studies.Results Based on AMSTAR 2, confidence was critically low in 39 of the 42 included SRs and low in 3 SRs. Low rating was mainly due to failure in developing a review protocol (90.5%); providing a list of excluded studies (81%); accounting for risk of bias when discussing the results (67%); using a comprehensive search strategy (50%); and investigating publication bias (50%). Despite inconsistency between SR findings comparing functional, radiological and patient safety outcomes for CA and conventional procedures, most TKA meta-analyses favored CA TKA, whereas most THA meta-analyses showed no difference. Moderate overlap was observed among TKA SRs and high overlap among THA SRs.Conclusions Despite conclusions of meta-analyses favoring CA arthroplasty, decision makers adopting this technology should be aware of the low confidence in the results of the included SRs. To improve confidence in future SRs, journals should consider using a methodological assessment tool to evaluate the SRs prior to making a publication decision.

- The Use of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for Care of People with Cardiovascular Disease in African Countries A Scoping Review Protocol
- Abstract:
- The persistence of poor healthcare outcomes from cardiovascular disease has caused a shift towards measuring patientreported outcomes (PROMs) as a method to improve quality of care. Some patientreported outcomes have been associated with improved mortality and readmission-rates; however, the majority of research in this field originates from high-income and/or nonAfrican countries.This protocol is for a scoping review of the current use of PROMs in care of patients with cardiovascular disease within African countries. The goal of this review is to determine the extent of published literature on the measurement and use of PROMs for cardiovascular care within Africa. In doing this, the aim is to identify: strengths and weaknesses in PROM use, barriers and assets into implementation, the pool of PROM tools in use in the setting, and gaps in the current literature.Eligible studies will have at least one study site located in an African country and use a PROM in clinical care or research of patients with any of the following primary cardiovascular diseases: coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and/or congenital heart disease. Examples of patientreported outcome measures include: symptoms, functional status, depression, selfefficacy, ADLs.Methods: The search will utilize seven databases, searching from the earliest available article until the day of the final search. Each title/abstract will be screened by two reviewers, with a third reviewer serving as a tie-breaker in the case of a disagreement about the inclusion criteria. Articles which make it past the titles/abstract screen will moved to the full text review. During this phase, relevant evidence from each article will be charted on an excel sheet. Results will categorized and published in a per-reviewed manuscript.

- Abstract:
- Long waiting times in the emergency department (ED) are associated with decreased patient satisfaction and increased morbidity and mortality. Triage may be a contributing factor to prolonged wait times in the ED. At Alhada Armed Forces Hospital (Taif, Saudi Arabia), patients other than level 1 and 2 on the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale are requested to wait until triage. During peak hours (08:0022:00), the waiting time prior to triage is prolonged, and several patients leave the ED before triage. In this project, a multidisciplinary team was assembled to revise patient flow from the time of arrival at the ED to the time of triage. Lean methodology was used to identify the redundancies and design a seamless flow process for ED patients. Through reorganising the triage area using minimal additional resources, the project team devised a novel floor plan for the triage area which provided a unique patient flow in the ED. The median patient wait time from arrival to triage was reduced from 27 min to 4.09 min and the percentage of patients leaving the ER before triage was reduced to 0%. This project is the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia, as well as in the Gulf region, and provides a radical solution to the problem of patient waiting in the ED during peak hours.

- Abstract - Development of a Graph Model for the OMOP Common Data Model
- Abstract:
- Current phenotyping and systems biology research requires not only integration of large volumes of Electronic Health Record (EHR) and multi-omics data, but also capturing the multitudes of relations among the concepts. Graph databases have emerged as a promising technology for such tasks, supporting not only local analysis but also global analysis leveraging graph algorithms like Centrality, Community Detection, Path Finding or Node Embeddings.Unfortunately, EHR data is rarely available in a graph format. While a nave row-to-node conversion is possible, the resulting graph is typically attribute-heavy, resulting in suboptimal performance. To address this limitation, we developed a modelling method to convert data form the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP CDM) to the Neo4j [www.neo4j.com] graph property model.

- Quantitative approaches for the evaluation of implementation research studies
- Original Bibliographic Citation:

- Abstract:
- Implementation research necessitates a shift from clinical trial methods in both the conduct of the study and in the way that it is evaluated given the focus on the impact of implementation strategies. That is, the methods or techniques to support the adoption and delivery of a clinical or preventive intervention, program, or policy. As strategies target one or more levels within the service delivery system, evaluating their impact needs to follow suit. This article discusses the methods and practices involved in quantitative evaluations of implementation research studies. We focus on evaluation methods that characterize and quantify the overall impacts of an implementation strategy on various outcomes. This article discusses available measurement methods for common quantitative implementation outcomes involved in such an evaluationadoption, fidelity, implementation cost, reach, and sustainmentand the sources of such data for these metrics using established taxonomies and frameworks. Last, we present an example of a quantitative evaluation from an ongoing randomized rollout implementation trial of the Collaborative Care Model for depression management in a large primary healthcare system.

32. Disaster and Mass Casualty Incident Responses by Intensive Care Units: A Scoping Review Protocol
- Title:
- Disaster and Mass Casualty Incident Responses by Intensive Care Units: A Scoping Review Protocol
- Description:
- An a priori scoping review protocol submission to the Northwestern DigitalHub (an institutional repository for the research and scholarly output of Northwestern Medicine) following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols.
- Abstract:
- Critical care has displayed an interest in the field of disaster and mass casualty incident response (2). A disaster refers to a man-made or natural event requiring resources from outside a local community to return to pre-event status (3). An incident occurs secondary to similar hazards, requiring an emergency response to protect life, however, may not require resources from outside a local community (4). A mass casualty incident focuses on healthcare system capacity, where casualties rapidly exceed capabilities (5). Here we focus on the timeframe of acute response by intensive care units (ICUs) themselves: a relief phase - where lifesaving and mitigation efforts dominate - and a subsequent recovery phase - where efforts return systems to pre-event status. Significant infrastructure, personnel and equipment resources are required to operate ICUs (6). Disasters and mass casualty incidents are known to result in an influx of critically ill patients (2). Thus, ICU populations must be thought of as especially at risk.Yet, there remains a paucity of well-compiled data from the front-lines of ICU response initiatives, hampering evidence-based guideline production (2). Disaster research theory, though, is well-established (3). Categorical, continuous, or even narrative data reported by responders in the midst of response initiatives represent evidence (7). It is possible that through initial publication and valuating of such reports, we may illuminate intervention effects, variation in experience and practice, and identify gaps and inconsistencies in the literature.The purpose of this scoping review will be to compile and analyze ICU disaster and mass casualty incident response experiences. We intend to characterize ICU experiences - reported by ICUs themselves - to organize quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data, in the form of categorical and continuous items reported, will be assessed. Qualitative analyses will be undertaken through narrative inquiry of anecdotes. Outcomes of interest include identification of trends, analyses of existing reports for consistency, typical experience strengths or weaknesses, lessons learned, and best practices. This scoping review represents the first published data compilation and analysis of ICU disaster and mass casualty incident response initiatives.

- Abstract:
- Study objectiveTo describe recent practice patterns of preoperative tests and to examine their association with 90-day all-cause readmissions and length of stay.DesignRetrospective cohort study using the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS).SettingSPARCS from March 1, 2016, to July 1, 2017.ParticipantsAdults undergoing Total Hip Replacement (THR) or Total Knee Replacement (TKR) had a preoperative screening outpatient visit within two months before their surgery.InterventionsElectrocardiogram (EKG), chest X-ray, and seven preoperative laboratory tests (RBCs antibody screen, Prothrombin time (PT) and Thromboplastin time, Metabolic Panel, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Nasal DNA probe, Urinalysis, Urine culture) were identified.Primary and secondary outcome measuresRegression analyses were utilized to determine the association between each preoperative test and two postoperative outcomes (90-day all-cause readmission and length of stay). Regression models adjusted for hospital-level random effects, patient demographics, insurance, hospital TKR, THR surgical volume, and comorbidities. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using the subset of patients with no comorbidities.ResultsFifty-five thousand ninety-nine patients (60% Female, mean age 66.1+/9.8 SD) were included. The most common tests were metabolic panel (74.5%), CBC (66.8%), and RBC antibody screen (58.8%). The least common tests were MRSA Nasal DNA probe (13.0%), EKG (11.7%), urine culture (10.7%), and chest X-ray (7.9%). Carrying out MRSA testing, urine culture, and EKG was associated with a lower likelihood of 90-day all-cause readmissions. The length of hospital stay was not associated with carrying out any preoperative tests. Results were similar in the subset with no comorbidities.ConclusionsWide variation exists in preoperative tests before THR and TKR. We identified three preoperative tests that may play a role in reducing readmissions. Further investigation is needed to evaluate these findings using more granular clinical data.

37. Surveying the Medical IR Landscape for Presentations or Publication: Challenges and Opportunities
- Title:
- Surveying the Medical IR Landscape for Presentations or Publication: Challenges and Opportunities
- Description:
- Lightning talk for the Medical Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) virtual symposium, November 17, 2022.
- Abstract:
- The medical institutional repository landscape is ever evolving and presents challenges for anyone who wishes to research it for presentation or publication. Librarians are one of the central stakeholders in the medical IR world, but not all librarians may be equally immersed in this area. Those who are directly involved may research and report on use cases and institution or platform-specific IR scenarios. Yet, it can be argued that in many instances, there is an important reason for introductory material on the world of repositories, in providing background and context. No matter one's job title or responsibilities, there are opportunities to become involved in exploring the world of repositories- for internal work at an institution, or externally in professional work. Contributions can vary: doing background research, providing introductory slides (on statistics, platforms, aspirational IRs to examine, other information) for an in-service workshop for colleagues, identifying and seeking out colleagues who can contribute expertise for professional collaborative research, publication, or presentation projects. Based on examples from the past half dozen years, this presentation consists of some sources, tips, and caveats for those who might be called upon to be part of the work involved in surveying the world of medical institutional repositories.

- Emerging US Socioeconomic and Health Disparities in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review
- Abstract:
- The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged as a pandemic in late March 2020, with cases escalating in the US. Health disparities, caused by underlying low socioeconomic factors, are heightened in the current COVID-19 pandemic and response. These health disparities are especially evident for disenfranchised populations like low-income, Black and Hispanic, and incarcerated communities. This scoping review was conducted to provide an overview of the evidence that highlights the need for public health policies sensitive to socioeconomic and health disparities in the US. First, the review provides evidence suggesting that low-income earners, Blacks and Hispanics, and incarcerated populations are among those with the greatest risk for COVID-19 due to underlying disparities. Second, it contains a review of the research that suggests these populations also have a decreased ability to adhere to social-distancing directives. The results suggest that there is an increased burden and exposure to COVID-19 among the poor, Blacks and Hispanics and incarcerated, and that these populations are less able to follow social-distancing guidelines. Overall, new policies should challenge existing socioeconomic and health disparities by addressing economic security, housing security, criminal justice, and healthcare access. Therefore, the current COVID-19 pandemic response needs to be part of a larger effort to combat health and socioeconomic inequity in the US.

- Understanding Racial Disparities in Low Birth Weight
- Abstract:
- This paper summarizes the research on the epidemiology of low birth weight (LBW) births focusing on the evidence about disparities in low birth weight for Black infants in the US. Studies have continually shown that Black mothers and their infants are at higher risk for pregnancy-related complications such as LBW. LBW, a leading cause of infant death for this racial group, is associated with a multitude of risk factors, with the major two dimensions being health status and health care. Evidence suggests that the accumulation of chronic stress over a lifetime culminates in health problems for Black women, thus leading to the conditions for LBW to occur. There is growing acceptance of the context of societal and systemic racism that creates a toxic and harmful environment for Black mothers and how this results in physiological stress that directly causes infant and maternal mortality. Although racial disparities in low birth weight are widely known in the medical community, prevention requires addressing the harmful social conditions that underlie these inequitable outcomes. This paper focuses on the way in which Black women and infants are disproportionately burdened with the effects of LBW. It concludes by discussing how changes can, with careful consideration and implementation, drive efforts to protect the Black infants and mothers as part of a holistic, patient-centered approach.

- Barriers and facilitators to cervical cancer screening among Asian American women: a systematic review
- Abstract:
- Objective: To understand barriers and facilitators for obtaining cervical cancer screening in Asian American women age > 18 years.Data Sources: A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines and using PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science to identify studies. Search terms included cervical cancer screening, Asian American, and Pap test. Additional studies identified manually.Study Selection: Only articles assessing sociodemographic, healthcare access, or acculturation factors and knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in Asian American women associated with compliant and noncompliant cervical cancer screening behavior were included.Data Extraction: Extraction of data by 1 author using predefined data fields.Data Synthesis: A total of 17 articles met all inclusion criteria. Six groups were studied: Chinese, Filipina, Japanese, Korean, South Asian, and Vietnamese. Age, marital status, education, insurance coverage, time in the US, and English-speaking ability were associated with previous receipt of a Pap test. Young age, unmarried, uninsured, less time in the US and less than fluent English-speaking ability were less likely to have obtained a Pap test. Older age, married, private or public health insurance, more than ten years in the US, and fluent English-speaking ability were more likely to have obtained a Pap test. Variations of this trend were found among the subgroups. Not enough data on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors to make generalizable statements.Interventions: Multi-component, community-based interventions using patient navigators, text messages, or lay health workers have varying degrees of success in increasing uptake of Pap tests but can bridge gaps in care and overcome barriers faced by Asian women seeking cervical cancer screenings.Limitations: Only applicable to the populations discussed. Not applicable to the entire Asian American community or other minority populations.Conclusion: Successful interventions to increase use of cervical cancer screenings must be targeted in their approach and demonstrate a thorough understanding of the characteristics of individual communities.

These disparities persisted into the 2000s despite a declining overall amputation rate after 1996. This study compares racial and ethnic amputation rates from more recent years for all residents of Illinois.Methods. Illinois hospital discharge data from 154 non-federal Illinois hospitals were used to calculate lower extremity amputation rates for the years 2013-2016 by race and ethnicity. ACS 5-year Census data were utilized to create race and ethnicity population denominators for patients 35 years of age or older in the state of Illinois, as well as for the populations of 3 different groups being compared (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic or Latino). The study assessed statewide amputation procedure trends as well as trends in population-based differences in through foot, below knee, and above knee amputation rates per 100,000.Results. Between 2010 and 2014, there was an apparent 14.7% increase in total lower extremity amputations in National Inpatient Sample estimates. In Illinois, statewide amputation procedure rates at all levels increased steadily from 2013 to 2016, increasing to 38.29 per 100,000 in 2016. However, there were very apparent ICD-9 to ICD-10 coding effects, with a 13% jump in through foot amputations and a 10% decline in above knee procedures between quarters when coding transitioned in 2015. Though only representing approximately 13% of the Illinois population, 26.9% of all lower extremity procedures were performed for non-Hispanic blacks, with the disparity in overall rates averaging 48.5 per 100,000, twice the non-Hispanic white rate.Conclusions. There was an increase nationally in the number of amputation procedures preceding the change to ICD-10 coded procedures in 2015. These data from Illinois hospitals indicate an apparent continuing increase in amputations driven by a large 2016 increase in through foot procedures, that is to some extent an IVC-10 coding change artifact. While ICD-10 coded above knee amputations appear to have declined in 2016, we cannot determine whether this was a real or a coding-related decline. Racial disparities in lower extremity amputation rates in Illinois continue to exist. Compared to a prior study looking at amputation rates in Northern Illinois, it possible that the racial gap has narrowed since the early 2000s, suggesting that public health interventions involving education and addressing social determinants of health may be promising to continue to reduce the gap.

- Barriers to mental healthcare for African-Americans and the importance of population-specific assessment in intervention planning and care modeling
- Description:
- A Northwestern University Capstone Project
- Abstract:
- Background: Mental health status affects all aspects of a persons health and well-being. There is a needfor improvement in the disparity in mental healthcare that exists in ethnic minority populations to ensureequitable healthcare for all people, including ethnically diverse populations.Aims: (1) review the existing literature on barriers to mental healthcare in a specific subset of the ethnic minority (African-Americans). (2) perform a frequency analysis of the specific barriers to accessing and receiving mental healthcarecited in the literature. (3) use the barriers identified to highlight the importance of their consideration in the development and planning for population-focused intervention and care modeling.Methods: A literature review was performed using Ovid/Medline, Pubmed, ClincalKey, and Scopus databases. Barriers to mental health care for African Americans were identified and quantified through afrequency analysis. Results: 25 barrier themes were identified through the literature review and described. Conclusions: barrier recognition and population-based planning will be essential in promoting the successof future interventions and iterations of care models.

- Abstract:
- Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic increasingly encountered in the clinical setting. It typically manifests as a respiratory illness, although cardiac involvement is common and portends a worse prognosis. We present the case of a 56-year-old male admitted with COVID-19 fulminant myocarditis and cardiogenic shock. We discuss important aspects of the multidisciplinary and interventional care involved in treating cardiogenic shock as well as the likely mechanisms of, and potential treatment for, COVID-19 myocarditis. The various pathways of myocardial injury, including direct viral damage, macrophage activation, and lymphocytic infiltration, are outlined in detail in addition to associated pathology such as cytokine release syndrome. COVID-19 is a complex and multisystem disease process; in addition to supportive care, specific consideration should be given to the underlying mechanism of injury for each patient.

- Title:
- Risk of Heart Failure Among Breast Cancer Survivors
- Abstract:
- Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is prevalent among breast cancer survivors, leading to an increased risk of death in this patient population. Shared modifiable risk factors between CVD and cancer, such as obesity, physical inactivity, and diet, could offer a potential explanation for the increasing prevalence of CVD among cancer survivors. Another possible explanation is that frequently used breast cancer therapies, such as trastuzumab, are associated with cardiotoxicity, which could increase the risk of developing heart failure. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess if the age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with the risk of heart failure across various age groups. Another objective of the study was to examine if the risk of heart failure among breast cancer survivors differed by chemotherapy use, specifically trastuzumab. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using 22,205 adult female breast cancer patients treated at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Patients were grouped into 50 years, 51-64 years, and 65 years for the age at breast cancer diagnosis. Kaplan-Meier curves for time to heart failure diagnoses were generated for the various age at diagnosis groups, and the Cox Proportional Hazards assumption was evaluated. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with adjustment for important covariates concerning demographics, cancer characteristics, lab values, and comorbidities. Results: In assessing heart failure for all female breast cancer patients, older age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.70-2.91 and HR 6.61, 95% CI 5.16-8.47 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively). When adjusted for race, ethnicity, second cancer, smoking status, baseline cholesterol, baseline HDL, baseline glucose, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction, older age at breast cancer diagnosis remained associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HR 2.14, 95% CI 1.50-3.04 and HR 5.33, 95% CI 3.83-7.41 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively). In assessing heart failure among female breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab, age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of heart failure only in the 65 years group (HR 1.90, 95% CI 0.84-4.29 and HR 3.29, 95% CI 1.43-7.58 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively). When adjusted for race, ethnicity, and second cancer, age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of heart failure in all age groups (HR 2.71, 95% CI 1.09-6.73 and HR 4.82, 95% CI 1.88-12.33 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively) in female breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. Discussion: This analysis suggested a strong association between the age at breast cancer diagnosis and the risk of heart failure when examining all female breast cancer patients. Individuals diagnosed with breast cancer at an older age were at an increased risk of developing heart failure. However, this association varied when evaluating only female breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. This study provides important foundations to assessing the long-term impacts of breast cancer diagnosis and treatments, especially among younger adults compared to healthy peers. Thus, additional large-scale studies conducting a case-control analysis in this population and longitudinal studies in additional populations are required to fully elucidate the effect of age at breast cancer diagnosis on the risk of heart failure.

Outpatient metformin use is associated with reduced severity of COVID-19 disease in adults with overweight or obesity. Journal of Medical Virology. 2021;93(7):4273-4279.
- Abstract:
- Observational studies suggest outpatient metformin use is associated with reduced mortality from coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Metformin is known to decrease interleukin-6 and tumor-necrosis factor-alpha, which appear to contribute to morbidity in COVID-19. We sought to understand whether outpatient metformin use was associated with reduced odds of severe COVID-19 disease in a large US healthcare data set. Retrospective cohort analysis of electronic health record (EHR) data that was pooled across multiple EHR systems from 12 hospitals and 60 primary care clinics in the Midwest between March 4, 2020 and December 4, 2020. Inclusion criteria: data for body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m(2) and a positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction test; age >= 30 and <= 85 years. Exclusion criteria: patient opt-out of research. Metformin is the exposure of interest, and death, admission, and intensive care unit admission are the outcomes of interest. Metformin was associated with a decrease in mortality from COVID-19, OR 0.32 (0.15, 0.66; p = .002), and in the propensity-matched cohorts, OR 0.38 (0.16, 0.91; p = .030). Metformin was associated with a nonsignificant decrease in hospital admission for COVID-19 in the overall cohort, OR 0.78 (0.58-1.04, p = .087). Among the subgroup with a hemoglobin HbA1c available (n = 1193), the adjusted odds of hospitalization (including adjustment for HbA1c) for metformin users was OR 0.75 (0.53-1.06, p = .105). Outpatient metformin use was associated with lower mortality and a trend towards decreased admission for COVID-19. Given metformin's low cost, established safety, and the mounting evidence of reduced severity of COVID-19 disease, metformin should be prospectively assessed for outpatient treatment of COVID-19.

- Effects of Web-Based Group Mindfulness Training on Stress and Sleep Quality in Singapore During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Retrospective Equivalence Analysis

- Lim JL, Leow Z, Ong JS, Pang LS, Lim E. Effects of Web-Based Group Mindfulness Training on Stress and Sleep Quality in Singapore During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Retrospective Equivalence Analysis. Jmir Mental Health. 2021;8(3):11.
- Abstract:
- Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted psychological health. Mindfulness training, which helps individuals attend to the present moment with a nonjudgmental attitude, improves sleep and reduces stress during regular times. Mindfulness training may also be relevant to the mitigation of harmful health consequences during acute crises. However, certain restrictions may necessitate the web-based delivery of mindfulness training (ie, rather than in-person group training settings). Objective: The objective of our study was to examine the effects of mindfulness interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate the effectiveness of web-based interventions. Methods: Data from an ongoing study were used for this retrospective equivalence analysis. Recruited participants were enrollees from mindfulness courses at a local charity organization that promoted mental wellness. This study had no exclusion criteria. We created three groups; two groups received their training during the COVID-19 pandemic (in-person training group: n=36; videoconferencing group: n=38), and a second control group included participants who were trained before the pandemic (n=86). Our primary outcomes were self-reported stress and sleep quality. Baseline levels and changes in these variables due to mindfulness training were compared among the groups via an analysis of covariance test and two one-tailed t tests. Results: Baseline perceived stress (P=.50) and sleep quality (P=.22) did not differ significantly among the three groups. Mindfulness training significantly reduced stress in all three groups (P<.001), and this effect was statistically significant when comparing videoconferencing to in-person training (P=.002). Sleep quality improved significantly in the prepandemic training group (P<.001). However, sleep quality did not improve in the groups that received training during the pandemic. Participants reported that they required shorter times to initiate sleep following prepandemic mindfulness training (P<.001), but this was not true for those who received training during the pandemic. Course attendance was high and equivalent across the videoconferencing and comparison groups (P=.02), and participants in the videoconferencing group engaged in marginally more daily practice than the in-person training group. Conclusions: Web-based mindfulness training via videoconferencing may be a useful intervention for reducing stress during times when traditional, in-person training is not feasible. However, it may not be useful for improving sleep quality.

- Inter-ICU Transfer of Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure-A Scoping Review
- Abstract:
- Rationale:Inter-ICU transfer of critically ill Acute Respiratory Failure Patients (ARF) are increasingly common in the current landscape of critical care delivery, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. A major driver for inter-ICU transfer of ARF patients is the increasing evidence base that suggests that mortality and morbidity are reduced by receiving care at high-resource hospitals. However, no uniform guidance exists to help clinicians decide who, why, when, or where ICU patients with ARF should be transferred. Unfortunately, due to the lack of current guidance, each interface has opportunities for both implicit and explicit bias to influence decision-making and care. We conduct this scoping review to ask these questions that have been un answered in a comprehensive review the what, who, why, when and where of ARF patient transfers between intensive care units.

- Preserving and Honoring the Legacy of World War II Medical Efforts
- Description:
- Poster presented during the 2020 annual meeting of the Medical Library Association (MLA 20 vConference and Exhibits), held July 27-August 9, 2020 ("Exploration") and August 10-14, 2020 ("Live Action Week"). The conference site also featured a recording describing poster content that was done by first author, Gabrielle Barr., Gabrielle Barr was a 2nd year National Library of Medicine fellow at Galter Health Sciences Library & Learning Center from Sept. 2018-August 2019.
- Abstract:
- Background: James A. Conner and Michael L. Mason, who served in the 12th General Hospital Unit during World War II, donated their papers to the library, which were processed and digitized. The library also created an interactive digital exhibit that narrated the story of the 12th General Hospital Unit and provided the broader context through images, videos, and documents from other repositories. To draw attention to resources that promote the legacy of this prestigious medical corps, a team comprised of individuals from different departments of the library embarked upon a multi-faceted outreach mission.Description: Over the course of three months, we publicized the exhibit through social media and digital signage, and invited a military medicine expert to speak at the inauguration event for the exhibit. We performed genealogical research to find relatives of those who served and invited them to attend and participate in the inaugural event. Members of the team called the descendants that could be located and wrote them personalized notes on stationery with photographs from the collection and a link to the digital exhibit. The team also created a five-panel traveling banner display to be unveiled at the lunchtime speaker event. Following the speaker event, the library had an open house for visitors to see the 12th General Hospital materials. The event was covered by the campus media as well as by the Chicago Tribune and NPR.Conclusion: With more than 150 attendees from across the country at the speaker event, the display of the traveling banner exhibit at locations in the Chicago area, and the increase of remote and in-person reference requests about the 12th General Hospital, the outreach activities the library developed during the summer of 2019 proved to be successful. The library has since used some of these tactics like the traveling banner exhibit to highlight other special collections projects and has most importantly learned several lessons on how to manage a large-scale outreach campaign.

- Assessments for Identifying Tactile Deficits in Individuals with Stroke: A Scoping Review
- Description:
- A protocol describing a scoping review to summarize tactile assessments for individuals with stroke at their upper extremities.
- Abstract:
- Accurate perception of objects that one interacts with, through touch, is instrumental to successfully learn and perform physical activities. Studies indicate that the perception of touch, or tactile stimuli, in the upper extremities is commonly negatively impacted after a stroke. In this scoping review, we seek to examine existing tactile assessments for the upper extremity of individuals with stroke. We aim to determine whether there is a gap in existing approaches that limits our understanding of the source of tactile perceptual deficits post-stroke. This information will be beneficial to understand the clinical value of existing assessments and potentially spur the development of new targeted assessments.

- Crime victimization in adults with severe mental illness: comparison with the National Crime Victimization Survey
- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Teplin, L. A., McClelland, G. M., Abram, K. M., & Weiner, D. A. (2005). Crime victimization in adults with severe mental illness: comparison with the National Crime Victimization Survey. Archives of general psychiatry, 62(8), 911921. https://doi.org/10.1001/archpsyc.62.8.911
- Abstract:
- Context: Since deinstitutionalization, most persons with severe mental illness (SMI) now live in the community, where they are at great risk for crime victimization.Objectives: To determine the prevalence and incidenceof crime victimization among persons with SMIby sex, race/ethnicity, and age, and to compare rates with general population data (the National Crime Victimization Survey), controlling for income and demographic differences between the samples.Design: Epidemiologic study of persons in treatment.Independent masters-level clinical research interviewers administered the National Crime Victimization Survey to randomly selected patients sampled from 16 randomly selected mental health agencies.Setting: Sixteen agencies providing outpatient, day, and residential treatment to persons with SMI in Chicago, Ill.Participants: Randomly selected, stratified sample of936 patients aged 18 or older (483 men, 453 women) who were African American (n=329), non-Hispanic white (n=321), Hispanic (n=270), or other race/ethnicity (n=22). The comparison group comprised 32 449 participants in the National Crime Victimization Survey.Main Outcome Measure: National Crime VictimizationSurvey, developed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.Results: More than one quarter of persons with SMI had been victims of a violent crime in the past year, a rate more than 11 times higher than the general population rates even after controlling for demographic differences between the 2 samples (P<.001). The annual incidence of violent crime in the SMI sample (168.2 incidents per 1000 persons) is more than 4 times higher than the general population rates (39.9 incidents per 1000 persons) (P<.001). Depending on the type of violent crime (rape/sexual assault, robbery, assault, and their subcategories), prevalence was 6 to 23 times greater among persons with SMI than among the general population.Conclusions: Crime victimization is a major public health problem among persons with SMI who are treated in the community. We recommend directions for future research, propose modifications in public policy, and suggest how the mental health system can respond to reduce victimization and its consequences.
