To analyse the transitions of disability onset and recovery, estimate life expectancy (LE) with and without disability and explore the relation between insurance and disability patterns in the population aged 50+ in Mexico.

Multistate life table analysis of data from a longitudinal cohort survey.

Data came from the Mexican Health and Aging Study, a longitudinal and representative survey of older adults in Mexico.

10 651 individuals aged 50+ interviewed in 2012 and 2015, including those who died between waves.

Disability is measured using the activities of daily living (ADL) scale. Transition rates between disability free, ADL disabled and death were employed to estimate total life expectancy (TLE) and disability-free life expectancy (DFLE).

46% of the individuals who reported an ADL limitation in 2012 recover from disability by 2015. TLE at age 60 for people without ADL limitations is 30 years (95% CI 28.9 to 31), out of which 4.7 years (95% CI 4.1 to 5.4) are lived with ADL limitations, while TLEdividuals with social security and public insurance.

Rheumatic heart diseases (RHDs) contribute significant morbidity and mortality globally. To reduce the burden of RHD, timely initiation of secondary prophylaxis is important. The objectives of this study are to determine the frequency of subclinical RHD and to train a deep learning (DL) algorithm using waveform data from the digital auscultatory stethoscope (DAS) in predicting subclinical RHD.

We aim to recruit 1700 children from a group of schools serving the underprivileged over a 12-month period in Karachi (Pakistan). All consenting students within the age of 5-15 years with no underlying congenital heart disease will be eligible for the study. We will gather information regarding sociodemographics, anthropometric data, history of symptoms or diagnosis of rheumatic fever, phonocardiogram (PCG) and electrocardiography (ECG) data obtained from DAS. Handheld echocardiogram will be performed on each study participant to assess the presence of a mitral regurgitation (MR) jet (

1.5 cm), or the presence of alinical RHD in school-going children in Karachi, Pakistan and developing a DL algorithm to screen for this condition using a digital stethoscope.

This study focuses on determining the frequency of subclinical RHD in school-going children in Karachi, Pakistan and developing a DL algorithm to screen for this condition using a digital stethoscope.

The SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) resulted in unprecedented societal and healthcare provision change that has been implemented at pace. Little is known about the indirect impacts of these changes and what the future effects may be.

To explore patients' and clinicians' experiences of managing heart failure (HF) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualitative study in three regions of the UK Cambridgeshire, Greater Manchester and the West Midlands.

Semi-structured interviews (n=30) were conducted with older adults with established HF and healthcare providers from primary and secondary health services involved in their care. Interviews were analysed thematically.

Compliance with the government guidance 'Stay home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives' during the COVID-19 pandemic and perceptions relating to risk from COVID-19 and underlying morbidity, drove 'being careful' behaviours and organisational changes. Enacting behavioural change and implementing organisational change resulted in opportunities anrom reluctance to access health services, should be acknowledged and interventions to address these challenges are needed.

The pharmaceutical industry invests heavily in promoting medications to physicians. This promotion may influence physicians' prescribing behaviour and lead to inappropriately increased prescribing rates.

To understand GPs' experience of interacting with the pharmaceutical industry, and explore their views and perceptions of the impact of this interaction in general practice in Ireland.

A qualitative design was used, and GPs practicing in Ireland were eligible.

A combination of purposive and snowball sampling techniques was applied and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis was used to develop themes from the data.

Twenty-one GPs and one GP trainee participated. Five themes were developed GP and pharmaceutical industry interface, the industry's methods of influence, the uncomfortable relationship between GPs and industry, GPs' perceptions of being unconsciously influenced, and GPs' lack of knowledge of relevant regulations. Participants interacted with pharmaceutical representattical industry may also play a role, although alternative CPD funding sources would need to be established.About one-third of epilepsy cases are refractory to medical therapy. During the past decades, the availability of surgical epilepsy interventions has substantially increased as therapeutic options for this group of patients. A wide range of surgical interventions and electrophysiologic neuromodulation techniques are available, including lesional resection, lobar resection, thermoablation, disconnection, multiple subpial transections, vagus nerve stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, and deep brain stimulation. The indications and imaging features of potential complications of the newer surgical interventions may not be widely appreciated, particularly if practitioners are not associated with comprehensive epilepsy centers. In this article, we review a wide range of invasive epilepsy treatment modalities with a particular focus on their postoperative imaging findings and complications. A state-of-the-art treatment algorithm provides context for imaging findings by helping the reader understand how a particular invasive treatment decision is made.

The hippocampus is a frequent focus of quantitative neuroimaging research, and structural hippocampal alterations are related to multiple neurocognitive disorders. An increasing number of neuroimaging studies are focusing on hippocampal subfield regional involvement in these disorders using various automated segmentation approaches. Direct comparisons among these approaches are limited. The purpose of this study was to compare the agreement between two automated hippocampal segmentation algorithms in an adult population.

We compared the results of 2 automated segmentation algorithms for hippocampal subfields (FreeSurfer v6.0 and volBrain) within a single imaging data set from adults (

 = 176, 89 women) across a wide age range (20-79 years). Brain MR imaging was acquired on a single 3T scanner as part of the IXI Brain Development Dataset and included T1- and T2-weighted MR images. We also examined subfield volumetric differences related to age and sex and the impact of different intracranial volume and todisease states should undergo nuanced interpretation, especially when considering different segmentation protocols.

Coloboma of the eye, Heart defects, Atresia of the choanae, Retardation of growth and/or development, Genital and/or urinary abnormalities, Ear abnormalities and deafness (CHARGE) syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder with evolving clinical diagnostic criteria. Recently, a number of additional anomalies have been described in this syndrome, which may aid in early diagnosis, particularly in incomplete phenotypes or atypical cases. The persistent trigeminal artery is an embryonic carotid-vertebral anastomosis, rarely seen in the healthy population, with a reported prevalence of 0.4%. Because we had observed the persistent trigeminal artery in patients with CHARGE syndrome, this study aimed to explore the prevalence of the persistent trigeminal artery in this syndrome.

A retrospective study was performed at our tertiary center. MR imaging studies, clinical records, and genetic results were reviewed for patients diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome between 2006 and 2019. The prevalence of the persistenn CHARGE syndrome of 56% is higher than that of some other established diagnostic criteria and much higher than that in the general population. The persistent trigeminal artery may be a useful addition to the expanding phenotype of CHARGE syndrome, supplementing other diagnostic criteria. Radiologists should be aware of this novel finding demonstrable on MR imaging.

Racial and socioeconomic disparities in the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke exist and have been described. We aimed to characterize disparities in the use of endovascular thrombectomy in a nationally representative analysis.

Discharge data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2006 and 2016 were queried using validated International Classification of Disease codes. Patients admitted to US hospitals with acute ischemic stroke were included and stratified on the basis of race, income, and primary payer. Trends in endovascular thrombectomy use, good outcome (discharge to home/acute rehabilitation), and poor outcome (discharge to skilled nursing facility, hospice, in-hospital mortality) were studied using univariate and multivariable analyses.

In this analysis of 1,322,162 patients, endovascular thrombectomy use increased from 53/111,829 (0.05%) to 3054/146,650 (2.08%) between 2006 and 2016, respectively. p97 inhibitor Less increase was observed in black patients from 4/12,733 (0.03%) tspite a widespread increase in endovascular thrombectomy use, black and low-income patients may be less likely to receive endovascular thrombectomy. Future effort should attempt to better understand the causes of these disparities and develop strategies to ensure equitable access to potentially life-saving treatment.

This systematic review summarises the existing evidence on the implementation of technology-based mental healthcare models in the primary care setting.

A systematic search was conducted (MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL) in August 2019 and studies were selected according to predefined eligibility criteria. The main outcomes were clinical effectiveness, adherence to primary treatment and cost of implementation.

Studies with an experimental or quasi-experimental design that evaluated the implementation of technology-based mental healthcare models were included.

Five articles met the inclusion criteria. The models included technological devices such as tablets, cellphones and computers, with programs and mobile apps that supported decision-making in the care pathway. These decisions took place at different times, from the universal screening phase to the follow-up of patients with specific conditions. In general, the studies showed a decrease in the reported symptoms. However, there was great heterogeneity in both the health conditions and the outcomes, which hindered a quantitative synthesis. The assessment of risk of bias showed low quality of evidence.

There is not enough evidence to support the implementation of a technology-based mental healthcare model. High quality studies that focus on implementation and effectiveness outcomes are needed to evaluate the impact of technology-based mental healthcare models in the primary care setting.
