INTRODUCTION: External fixation of unstable ankle injuries is commonly done by orthopaedic surgeons. An improper technique can negate the benefits of the procedure and necessitate revision. This study sought to determine the risk factors for revision of external fixation of unstable ankle injuries. METHODS: Retrospective cohort at a level I academic trauma center of 120 consecutive patients underwent external fixation of an unstable ankle injury. Exclusion criteria included external fixation for reason other than fracture, inadequate intraoperative imaging, skeletal immaturity, and follow-up less than 30 days...

Prior research identifies trust as critical to increase vaccine acceptance and uptake. However, few intervention studies have sought to develop or test strategies for bolstering vaccine-related trust. To address this gap, this exploratory study identifies features of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy interventions that can promote or undermine trust across three interconnected domains: institutional, interpersonal, and product (the vaccine itself). We draw on focus groups (N = 27 participants) with community and university partners involved with hosting COVID-19 testing and vaccine events in underserved Oklahoma communities...

BACKGROUND: Computational psychiatry has the potential to advance the diagnosis, mechanistic understanding, and treatment of mental health conditions. Promising results from clinical samples have led to calls to extend these methods to mental health risk assessment in the general public; however, data typically used with clinical samples are neither available nor scalable for research in the general population. Digital phenotyping addresses this by capitalizing on the multimodal and widely available data created by sensors embedded in personal digital devices (eg, smartphones) and is a promising approach to extending computational psychiatry methods to improve mental health risk assessment in the general population...

BACKGROUND: Priority setting in mental health research is arguably lost in translation. Decades of effort has led to persistent repetition in what the research priorities of people with lived-experience of mental ill-health are. AIM: This was a narrative review and synthesis of published literature reporting mental health research priorities (2011-2023). METHODS: A narrative framework was established with the questions: (1) who has been involved in priority setting? With whom have priorities been set? Which priorities have been established and for whom? What progress has been made? And, whose priorities are being progressed? RESULTS: Seven papers were identified...

BACKGROUND: Primary care in Rhode Island is in crisis. The dearth of primary care providers is already affecting access to services and the situation is likely to worsen unless major steps are taken. There are inadequate numbers of trainees in primary care medical residencies, nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant (PA) training programs who plan to practice primary care in our state. The Care Transformation Collaborative of RI (CTC-RI) has assembled a broadly representative task force of physicians, NPs, PAs, and others to build a strong and robust primary care delivery system across the state that recruits, trains, retains, and sustains primary care providers...

This paper provides a longitudinal social network and content analysis of Canadian think tanks affiliated with the Atlas network, analyzing their efforts to obstruct climate action over the last two decades. Network analysis reveals extensive and deepening board interlocks and joint memberships between these think tanks and the fossil fuel industry, other policy-planning organizations within and beyond Canada, and academic institutions. Consistent with and rooted in network ties, Atlas members produce a large and growing volume of climate-related content, including content that denies the reality and impacts of climate change, promotes and defends the fossil fuel sector, and opposes climate policy and action...

Numerous papers report the efficiency of the automatic interpretation capabilities of commercial algorithms. Unfortunately, these algorithms are proprietary, and academia has no means of directly contributing to these results. In fact, nothing at the same stage of development exists in academia. Despite the extensive research in ECG signal processing, from signal conditioning to expert systems, a cohesive single application for clinical use is not ready yet. This is due to a serious lack of coordination in the academic efforts, which involve not only algorithms for signal processing, but also the signal acquisition equipment itself...
