OBJECTIVES: During the COVID-19 pandemic, a quick and reliable phone-triage system is critical for early care and efficient distribution of hospital resources. The study aimed to assess the accuracy of the traditional phone-triage system and phone triage-driven deep learning model in the prediction of positive COVID-19 patients. SETTING: This is a retrospective study conducted at the family medicine department, Cairo University. METHODS: The study included a dataset of 943 suspected COVID-19 patients from the phone triage during the first wave of the pandemic...

BACKGROUND: Frailty increases the risk of falls, disability and death in older adults. The Cardiovascular Health Study identified a frailty phenotype (the Fried Phenotype) that was primarily based on physical domains. Instruments that incorporate additional domains (e.g., cognitive, disability or mood) may more accurately identify falls. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed i) to evaluate the association between falls and the number of phenotypes identified by the Fried Phenotype and CFVI-20 scores and ii) to compare the strength of the association between falls and each frailty instrument...

Identifying the factors driving vaccine hesitancy can improve vaccine attitudes and motivate individuals to have the recommended vaccinations. However, failure to address the issue directly, or worse, ignoring it, could deepen such concerns, resulting in lower vaccination rates, leading to elevated rates of illness and vaccine-preventable deaths among older adults. The aim of this study was to explore the rate of acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among older adults in Saudi Arabia, along with the associated predicting factors and reasons for hesitancy...

BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined user-reported perspectives about the quality and sufficiency of home and community-based services (HCBS) and their relationship to key health and community living outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between unmet need for HCBS and health and community living outcomes in a multi-state, multi-program sample of Medicaid HCBS users. METHODS: We used data from the 2017-2018 National Core Indicators-Aging and Disability (NCI-AD) survey, collected among older adults and adults with physical disabilities who were receiving Medicaid HCBS across 13 states (N = 10,263)...

AIM: To explore how patients with intermittent claudication experiences participating in a community-based cardiovascular rehabilitation program and the various components of the rehabilitation program. BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication is a condition associated with progressive atherosclerosis that affects daily life. Most patients with intermittent claudication do not exercise even though exercise is essential in the treatment of this condition. Rehabilitation is reported to be effective in alleviating symptoms, increasing walking distance, reducing cardiovascular events, and improving quality of life...

Our study goal was to investigate the impact of biocides and nanoparticles (NPs) on the microbial diversity in a hydraulic fracturing impacted stream. Biocides and NPs are known for their antimicrobial properties and controlling microbial growth. Previous work has shown that biocides can alter the microbial community composition of stream water and may select for biocide-resistant bacteria. Additional studies have shown that nanoparticles can also alter microbial community composition. However, previous work has often focused on the response to a single compound...

Rationale: Few individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are able to access pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) despite its importance. Barriers include increased travel time and lack of resources. Tele-PR has been proposed as a novel solution to overcome such barriers and improve access. Objectives: Our study aimed to provide information on implementing a novel province-wide standardized community-based tele-PR program and determine its accessibility, feasibility, and safety. Secondary objectives examined the effectiveness of tele-PR compared with standard PR and if clinical improvements were sustained over time...

BACKGROUND: Physical activity is beneficial in stroke prevention and recovery. Understanding activity dynamics and its effect on outcome after stroke is important to improve recommendations and develop interventions. OBJECTIVES: We examined serial changes in daily ambulatory activity (AA) averaged over 1 week in people with subacute to chronic stroke and its association with functional outcome (modified Rankin scale [mRS]) and quality of life (EQ-5D-3L). METHODS: This observational study examined AA in stroke survivors with no to moderate disability (US National Institute of Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score) who were mostly community dwelling and had cryptogenic stroke based on data from the Continuous Cardiac Monitoring to Assess Atrial Fibrillation After Cryptogenic Stroke study...

F-type plasmids are diverse and of great clinical significance, often carrying genes conferring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) such as extended-spectrum β-lactamases, particularly in Enterobacterales. Organising this plasmid diversity is challenging, and current knowledge is largely based on plasmids from clinical settings. Here, we present a network community analysis of a large survey of F-type plasmids from environmental (influent, effluent and upstream/downstream waterways surrounding wastewater treatment works) and livestock settings...

BACKGROUND: Exercise prescription guidelines for individuals undergoing cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) are based on heart rate training zones and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). United Kingdom guidelines indicate that patients should exercise at an intensity of RPE 11 to 14. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the accuracy of this approach by comparing this RPE range with an objectively measured marker of exercise intensity, the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), and examine whether baseline directly determined cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) affects the association between VAT and RPE...

For the past forty years, the generalization of community-based approaches has prompted psychiatry into promoting a deinstitutionalization movement and a psychosocial rehabilitation approach (PSR) for individuals with schizophrenia and related difficulties. Unfortunately, this approach generally does not involve the most severe cognitive and psycho-affective clinical situations among this population despite an increasing number of publications advocating that all individuals should be included in PSR and deinstitutionalization programs...

The objective of the study was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of low-frequency spa therapy combined with rehabilitation (Spa-rehab) versus standard spa therapy at 6 months for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA). A prospective, randomized, monocenter, non-inferiority trial with recruitment of community-based symptomatic KOA patients was performed. Standard spa therapy comprised standardized spa treatment, 6 days a week for 3 weeks, and Spa-rehab therapy comprised spa sessions, 3 days a week for 3 weeks, followed by a dedicated rehabilitation program, 3 days a week for 3 weeks...

BACKGROUND: The social vulnerability index (SVI) is used to assess resilience to external influences that may affect human health. Social vulnerability has been noted to be a barrier to healthcare access for pediatric patients. We hypothesized that Pennsylvania (PA) pediatric trauma patients high on the social vulnerability index would have significantly lower rates of rehab admission following admission to a hospital for traumatic injury. METHODS: The SVI was determined for each PA zip code area utilizing the census tract based 2014 SVI provided by the CDC along with a weighted crosswalk between census tracts and zip code areas using the Housing and Urban Development zip code crosswalk files...

Introduction: Safe transitions of care are an essential component of safety and quality for the patient community. It is imperative that providers choose appropriate discharge settings to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions. Additionally, providers must also ensure that the multifaceted needs of each patient are met with every discharge recommendation. There is often a lack of formal instruction in medical school on the various discharge dispositions, indications for rehab, and clinical indications for each setting...
