How a public health solution is reducing hypertension disparities
Addressing health care disparities can help practices improve the health of patients in vulnerable at-risk populations. Learn how eight family medicine practices boosted hypertension control rates for diverse patients by more than 3 percentage points in just three months.
A targeted pilot
As part of the Million Hearts initiative, the Summit County Public Health department (SCPH) and several partners in Ohio launched a pilot project with several family medicine practices to help reduce hypertension rates among black men.
In Ohio, 38.5 percent of black patients have a diagnosis of hypertension, compared to 33.7 percent...

More to science: working in Business Management
What is your scientific background?
I was conferred my PhD in Neuroscience from the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN). I studied central nervous system trauma in rodent models of contusive spinal cord injury.
Judy Lytle
My thesis centered on a specific type of progenitor cell, and its role in post-injury adult spinal cord tissue. I worked to characterize this cell population’s proliferative capabilities after injury, its ability to become neural cells in the post-injury environment, and tested various growth factors to attempt to recapitulate the cell population...

Prediction of Incident Hypertension Within the Next Year: Prospective Study Using Statewide Electronic Health Records and Machine Learning
Conclusions: With statewide EHR datasets, our study prospectively validated an accurate 1-year risk prediction model for incident essential hypertension. Our real-time predictive analytic model has been deployed in the state of Maine, providing implications in interventions for hypertension and related diseases and hopefully enhancing hypertension care.

OA214 An experience with open source machine learning software deepmedic
The aim of this study was to investigate if 3D convolutional deep neural network implementation DeepMedic [1] could be applied to computed tomography angiography (CTA) images in acute stroke lesion detection. DeepMedic has previously been successful in lesion segmentation from magnetic resonance images [2].

Deep learning algorithms for detection of critical findings in head CT scans: a retrospective study
Publication date: Available online 11 October 2018Source: The LancetAuthor(s): Sasank Chilamkurthy, Rohit Ghosh, Swetha Tanamala, Mustafa Biviji, Norbert G Campeau, Vasantha Kumar Venugopal, Vidur Mahajan, Pooja Rao, Prashant WarierSummaryBackgroundNon-contrast head CT scan is the current standard for initial imaging of patients with head trauma or stroke symptoms. We aimed to develop and validate a set of deep learning algorithms for automated detection of the following key findings from these scans: intracranial haemorrhage and its types (ie, intraparenchymal, intraventricular, subdural, extradural, and subarachnoid); ca...

The usefulness of case studies in a Virtual Clinical Environment (VCE) multimedia courseware in nursing.
Authors: Bonito SR
Abstract
Clinical practicum is a major component in nursing education. Students are able to apply their classroom learning to the actual care setting. The clinical practicum setting must provide an authentic environment where students can maximize learning opportunities and demonstrate knowledge, skills, and attitude in caring for patients. Herein lies the challenge. The real world setting and timing may not be enough for students to learn the many complex tasks demanded as course outcomes and expected competencies. The purpose of this study was to describe the usefulness of using multimedia case...

Anticipatory effect of execution on observation: an approach using ExoPinch
finger robot
Conclusion: The results showed an interaction effect of kinetics features and hemisphere at frontal channels corresponding nearly to
the ventral premotor cortex area of the brain. The activation of mirror neurons in this area plays a crucial role in observational learning.
Based on our results, we propose that specific type of visual stimuli can be combined with the functional abilities of the MNS in the action
observation based treatment of hand motor dysfunction of stroke patients to have a positive additional impact.

An artificial intelligence-enabled ECG algorithm for the identification of patients with atrial fibrillation during sinus rhythm: a retrospective analysis of outcome prediction
Publication date: Available online 1 August 2019Source: The LancetAuthor(s): Zachi I Attia, Peter A Noseworthy, Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, Samuel J Asirvatham, Abhishek J Deshmukh, Bernard J Gersh, Rickey E Carter, Xiaoxi Yao, Alejandro A Rabinstein, Brad J Erickson, Suraj Kapa, Paul A FriedmanSummaryBackgroundAtrial fibrillation is frequently asymptomatic and thus underdetected but is associated with stroke, heart failure, and death. Existing screening methods require prolonged monitoring and are limited by cost and low yield. We aimed to develop a rapid, inexpensive, point-of-care means of identifying patients with atrial ...
