From April 5, 2021, as part of the 21st Century Cures Act, all providers in the United States must offer patients access to the medical information housed in their electronic records. Via secure health portals, patients can log in to access lab and test results, lists of prescribed medications, referral appointments, and the narrative reports written by clinicians (so-called open notes). As US providers implement this practice innovation, we describe six promising ways in which patients' access to their notes might help address problems that either emerged with or were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Contact tracing apps are considered useful means to monitor COVID-19 infections during off-peak stages of the pandemic. Their effectiveness is however dependent on the uptake of such COVID-19 apps.

We examine the role of individuals' general health status in the willingness to participate in a COVID-19 tracing app, as well as the roles of socioeconomic characteristics and 'COVID-19 proximity.'

We draw on survey data from the WageIndicator Foundation the Living and Working in Coronavirus Times. The survey collects data on labor market status, as well as potential confounders of the relationship between general health and COVID-19 app usage, such as sociodemographics and regular smartphone usage. The survey also contains information that allow us to examine the role of 'COVID-19 proximity,' such as having contracted the virus, having observed COVID-19 cases among family members or colleagues, displaying depressive symptoms, and anxiety. We select data collected in Spain, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlandth statuses yield markedly higher willingness to use a COVID-19 app.

In so far public health policy is aimed at using smartphone contact tracing during off-peak periods in the pandemic, campaigns appealing to health benefits for oneself and that of family members may be most successful for increasing the COVID-19 tracing app uptake. Public health campaigns that rely on digital platforms would also benefit from taking seriously the country-specific distribution of privacy concerns.

Behavioral health disorders have steadily increased and been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though behavioral health disorders can be successfully mitigated with early implementation of evidence-based parent management strategies, education for pediatric residents on behavioral health anticipatory guidance has been limited to date, with training challenges compounded by the physical distancing requirements of the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual reality (VR) simulations provide an opportunity to train residents on this complex competency by allowing deliberate practice of necessary skills while adhering to current social distancing guidelines.

This study explored the usability of a VR-based behavioral health anticipatory guidance curriculum for pediatric residents.

This mixed methods study included 14 postgraduate third-year pediatric residents who completed the behavioral health anticipatory guidance VR curriculum. Residents completed the MEC Spatial Presence Questionnaire to assess immersion in the v tool to teach pediatric residents behavioral health anticipatory guidance, meeting a current gap in medical education training. This VR curriculum is particularly relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic given the increased behavioral health concerns of families.

Pilot data indicates that VR may be an effective tool to teach pediatric residents behavioral health anticipatory guidance, meeting a current gap in medical education training. This VR curriculum is particularly relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic given the increased behavioral health concerns of families.

The clinical, laboratory and imaging features of COVID-19 disease are variable. Multiple Factors can affect the disease progression and outcome.

This study aims to analyze the clinical, laboratory, and imaging features of COVID-19 in Jordan.

Clinical, laboratory and imaging data were collected for 557 confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to Prince Hamzah Hospital (PHH), Jordan. Analysis was performed using appropriate statistical tests with SPSS version 24.

Of the 557 COVID-19 PCR-positive cases admitted to PHH, the mean age was 34.4±18.95 (5 weeks to 87 years), 86% were males, 41.4% were blood group A+, and 57% were overweight or obese. Significant past medical history was documented in 25.9%, significant surgical history in 12.7%, current smoking in 15.0%, and pregnancy in 0.5%. The mean duration of hospitalization was 16.3±9.2 (5 to 70) days. 53% were asymptomatic, 13% had more than 5 symptoms, with generalized malaise and dry cough the most common symptoms. Only 2.8% had a respiratory rate over 25 breaths/min, and 2% had an oxygen saturation below 85%. Laboratory investigations showed a wide range of abnormalities with lymphocytosis and elevated CRP, ESR, and D-Dimer the most common abnormalities. Smoothened inhibitor Ground glass opacity was the most common imaging finding. Males had a significantly higher frequency of symptoms, incidence of smoking, reduced hemoglobin, increased monocyte %, elevated creatinine levels, and ICU admissions compared to females (P ˂ 0.05). Hospitalization duration was associated with increased age, male gender, symptom score, history of smoking, elevated systolic blood pressure, elevated respiratory rate, and elevated monocyte %, CRP, ESR, creatinine, and D-dimer (P ˂ 0.05).

Most COVID-19 cases admitted to PHH were asymptomatic. Variabilities in symptoms, signs, laboratory results, and imaging findings should be noted. Increased age, male gender, smoking history, and elevated inflammatory markers were significantly associated with longer duration of hospitalization.

Recent emergency authorization and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines by regulatory bodies has generated global attention. As the most popular video-sharing platform globally, YouTube is a potent medium for the dissemination of key public health information. Understanding the nature of available content regarding COVID-19 vaccination on this widely used platform is of substantial public health interest.

This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and quality of information on COVID-19 vaccination in YouTube videos.

In this cross-sectional study, the phrases "coronavirus vaccine" and "COVID-19 vaccine" were searched on the UK version of YouTube on December 10, 2020. The 200 most viewed videos of each search were extracted and screened for relevance and English language. Video content and characteristics were extracted and independently rated against Health on the Net Foundation Code of Conduct and DISCERN quality criteria for consumer health information by 2 authors.

Forty-eight videos, with a combined total view count of 30,100,561, were included in the analysis.
