Evidence requirements for innovative imaging devices: from concept to adoption.

Changes in the regulatory and reimbursement environment for advances in imaging in the United States are leading to increasing requirements for formal clinical evidence of efficacy, effectiveness, and safety. The authors describe 5 phases of an imaging product's lifecycle: design, regulatory clearance and approval, early adoption, reimbursement, and full adoption. Each phase has distinct needs for clinical evidence. With increasing costs of clinical evidence generation, the question of ownership of the responsibility to gather clinical evidence at each successive phase becomes important. Misma…

[The Tractatus de austuribus and its adoption by Albertus Magnus].

Probably in the 60s of the 13th century Albert the Great (dagger 1280) terminated his De animalibus libri XXVI, mainly a commentary on Aristotle's Animals but a milestone in medieval zoology. In the extensive chapter De falconibus of the 23rd book, which was written around 1250 and is probably the oldest part of the whole treatise, Albert used medieval tracts on birds of prey as source material. In the article one of these tracts, the anonymous Tractatus de austuribus on the healing of hawks, is analysed and for the first time presented in a critical synoptic edition (after the Codex unicus Be

Factors effecting adoption of new neonatal and pediatric respiratory technologies.

OBJECTIVE: There remains significant variation in the level and rate of adoption of new pediatric respiratory technologies, in spite of two decades of focus on "evidence-based medicine". Nearly 50 years ago Rogers introduced a rubric for understanding issues that effect the adoption of technologies that included four factors plus evidence of advantage. We sought to determine whether Rogers' factors were useful in understanding contrasts between clinical utilization of technology and evidence of advantage. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS: We conducted a written survey at two international neonat…

Knowledge of formal adoption procedures was very poor. The present study therefore shows that adoption in Papua New Guinea is not without risk and it is important that adoption should be recognized as having the potential for serious adverse effects on the child's well-being, e …

Adoption as a risk factor for attempted suicide during adolescence.

OBJECTIVE: Depression, impulsivity, and aggression during adolescence have been associated with both adoption and suicidal behavior. Studies of adopted adults suggest that impulsivity, even more than depression, may be an inherited factor that mediates suicidal behavior. However, the association between adoption and adolescent suicide attempts and the mechanisms that might explain it remain unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the following: 1) whether suicide attempts are more common among adolescents who live with adoptive parents rather than biological parents; 2) whether t…

Welfare regimes and the adoption of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

This paper examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare through the analytical lens of the political determinants of health (PDOH), arguing that AI is not a politically neutral technological innovation but a domain in which longstanding distributive logics of welfare regimes are reproduced and potentially intensified. As a conceptual, theory-building contribution, this paper develops a set of testable propositions about how welfare-regime logics may condition the adoption, regulation, and distributive effects of AI in healthcare. While existing scholarship on AI in …

From Adoption to Optimization: APCCMPD Recommendations for PCCM Program Signaling.

Program signaling was introduced to address application inflation in graduate medical education (GME) by providing applicants with a structured mechanism to express genuine program interest. While signaling has been widely adopted across specialties, evidence-based guidance specific to fellowship recruitment in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM), Critical Care Medicine (CCM), and Pulmonary Medicine is lacking. The Association of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Program Directors (APCCMPD) Recruitment Committee developed specialty-specific signaling recommendations, drawing on a co

Adoption outpaces reimbursement in navigation-assisted pediatric posterior spinal fusion.

PURPOSE: To evaluate reimbursement trends and surgical volumes associated with computer-assisted navigation (CAN) in pediatric posterior spinal fusion (PSF), with a focus on the impact of payer mix on institutional financial sustainability. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 11-19 years undergoing CAN-assisted PSF at a single pediatric institution from 2021 to 2024. Billing records associated with CPT code 61,783 (computer-assisted spinal navigation add-on) were used to identify procedures. Annual procedure volumes were calculated and analyzed by payer type (p

Remote Patient Monitoring Adoption for Hypertension Management Among Medicare Beneficiaries.

IMPORTANCE: Remote patient monitoring (RPM), including self-measured blood pressure monitoring with clinician review and telehealth-supported feedback, can support hypertension management. However, RPM use and related care continuity after switching from Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) to Medicare Advantage (MA) remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compare RPM adoption, clinician continuity, and hypertension-related acute care utilization among beneficiaries who remained in Medicare FFS vs switched to MA plans, categorized as value-based contract (VBC) proxy or non-VBC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIP…

Quantifying effects of solar power adoption on CO2 emissions reduction.

We quantify the effect of solar power adoption in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the US electricity sector using 5 years of Energy Information Administration data, starting 1 July 2018. By tailoring a distributed lag statistical model, we estimate the immediate and time-lagged effects of increased solar generation on reducing CO2 emissions within a region. Our analysis highlights how solar adoption in one region affects CO2 emissions in neighboring regions, emphasizing the potential for collaborative efforts. We estimate that a 15% increase in solar generation is associated with …

Принятие приложений по охране здоровья в системе хронической помощи: мнения медицинских работников.

Регулирование таких хронических заболеваний, как Множественный склероз (MS), может выиграть от новаторских решений, таких, как приложения для охраны здоровья, в целях повышения эффективности самостоятельного управления пациентами и принятия клинических решений.

Genetic and environmental influences on disordered eating: An adoption study.

Twin studies indicate significant genetic, but little shared environmental, influences on eating disorders. However, critics argue that study limitations constrain the conclusions that can be drawn. Adoption studies avoid many of these limitations, but to date, no adoption studies of eating pathology have been conducted. The current study was the first adoption study to examine genetic/environmental effects for disordered eating. Participants included 123 adopted and 56 biological female sibling pairs. Disordered eating (i.e., overall eating pathology, body dissatisfaction, weight preoccupatio…
