Situation awareness (SA) refers to people's perception and understanding of their dynamic environment. In primary care, reduced SA among physicians increases errors in clinical decision-making and, correspondingly, patients' risk of experiencing adverse outcomes. Our objective was to understand the extent to which electronic health records (EHRs) support primary care physicians (PCPs)' SA during clinical decision-making.
We conducted a metanarrative review of papers in selected academic databases, including CINAHL and MEDLINE. Eligible studies included original peer-reviewed research published between January 2012 and August 2020 on PCP-EHR interactions. We iteratively queried, screened, and summarized literature focused on EHRs supporting PCPs' clinical decision-making and care management for adults. Then, we mapped findings to an established SA framework to classify external factors (individual, task, and system) affecting PCPs' levels of SA (1-Perception, 2-Comprehension, and 3-Projection) and identifing.Introduction The emergence of carbapenemase resistant Gram-negative is designated as an 'urgent' priority of public health. Carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP) is linked with significant mortality. Conventionally used antibiotics (polymyxins, tigecycline, aminoglycosides, etc.) are associated with poor efficacy and toxicity profiles are quite worrisome.Areas covered This article reviews mechanism of resistance and evidence regarding novel treatments of infections caused by CPKP, focusing mainly on currently approved new therapies and implications on future therapeutic strategies. A review of novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BLI) recently approved and in clinical development as well as cefiderocol, eravacycline and apramycin are discussed.Expert opinion Newly approved and forthcoming antimicrobial agents are promising to combat infections caused by CPKP. Ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, and imipenem-cilastatin-relebactam are novel agents with favorable outcome and associated with improved mortality in KPC-producing K. pneumoniae infections. However, are inactive against metallo-β-lactamases (MBL). Novel BLI in later stage of development, i.e. aztreonam-avibactam, cefepime-zidebactam, cefepime-taniborbactam, and meropenem-nacubactam as well as cefiderocol are active in vitro against both KPC and MBL. Potential expectations of future therapeutic strategies are improved potency against CPKP, more tolerable safety profile, and capability of overcoming current resistance mechanism of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae.Purpose While flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) is a common clinical procedure used in the head and neck cancer (HNC) population, extant outcome measures for FEES such as bolus-level penetration-aspiration and residue scores are not well suited as global patient-level endpoint measures of dysphagia severity in cooperative group trials or clinical outcomes research. The Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity (DIGEST) was initially developed and validated for use during videofluoroscopic evaluations as a way to grade safety, efficiency, and overall pharyngeal swallowing impairment. The purpose of this study was to adapt and validate DIGEST for use with FEES. Method A modified Delphi exercise was conducted for content validation, expert consensus, adaptation, and operationalization of DIGEST-FEES. Three blinded, expert raters then evaluated 100 de-identified post-HNC treatment FEES examinations. Hesperadin manufacturer Intra- and interrater reliability were tested with quadratic weighted kappa. Criterion validity against the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory, Functional Oral Intake Scale, Secretion Severity Scale, and Yale Residue Rating Scale was assessed with Spearman correlation coefficients. Results Interrater reliability was almost perfect for overall DIGEST-FEES grade (κw = 0.83) and safety grade (κw = 0.86) and substantial for efficiency grade (κw = 0.74). Intrarater reliability was excellent for all raters (0.9-0.91). Overall DIGEST-FEES grade correlated with MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (r = -.43, p less then .0001), Functional Oral Intake Scale (r = -.43, p less then .0001), Secretion Severity Scale (r = .47, p less then .0001), Yale Vallecular Residue (r = .73, p less then .0001), and Yale Pyriform Sinus Residue (r = .65, p less then .0001). Conclusion DIGEST-FEES is a valid and reliable scale to describe the severity of pharyngeal dysphagia in patients with HNC.

Over the past few decades, proteomic studies have been increasingly applied to AD research to compliment transcriptomic evaluations. Proteomic analyses helped identify new biomarkers of AD, allowing investigation of both the cutaneous AD profile and the systemic inflammation associated with the disease.Areas covered This review discusses key studies that utilized various proteomic technologies to analyze AD skin and/or blood, which facilitated discovery of biomarkers related to pathogenesis, disease severity, systemic inflammation, and therapeutic response. Moreover, this review summarizes proteomic studies that helped define various AD endotypes/phenotypes. A literature search was conducted by querying Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed/Medline, and Clinicaltrials.gov up to January 2021.Expert opinion Use of proteomics in AD has allowed for identification of novel AD-related protein biomarkers. This approach continues to evolve and is becoming increasingly common for the study of AD, in conjunction with other -omics platforms, as proteomics shifts to quicker and more sensitive methods for detection of potential protein biomarkers. Although many biomarkers have been identified thus far, future larger studies are necessary to further correlate these markers with clinical parameters.
