Gamification of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) for simulation training-a feasibility study
CONCLUSION: Game-based digital simulation training is a feasible alternative to standard in-person simulation training to acquire competence in NIHSS assessment. Gamification seemed to give an incentive to simulate considerably more and to perform the assessment faster, with equal accuracy.TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was approved by the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (reference no. 543238).PMID:36810284 | DOI:10.1186/s41077-023-00245-4

State School Policies as Predictors of Physical and Mental Health: A Natural Experiment in the REGARDS Cohort.
Abstract We used differences in state school policies as natural experiments to evaluate the joint influence of educational quantity and quality on late-life physical and mental health. Using US census microsample data, historical measures of state compulsory schooling and school quality (term length, student-teacher ratio, and attendance rates) were combined via regression modeling on a scale corresponding to years of education (Policy Predicted Years of Education [PPYEd]). PPYEd values were linked to individual-level records for 8,920 black and 14,605 white participants aged 45+ in the REasons for Geographic and...

Prevalence of coronary heart disease or stroke among workers aged
Abstract Cardiovascular disease accounts for one in three deaths in the United States each year, and coronary heart disease and stroke account for most of those deaths. To try to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched the Million Hearts initiative, promoting proven and effective interventions in communities and clinical settings. In workplace settings, cardiovascular disease can be addressed through a Total Worker Health program, which integrates occupational safety and health protection with health promotion. To identify workers likely to ben...
